Los Cocuyos

Since 1980, this Centro Histórico taquería has been slinging tacos from a cauldron of bubbling meats at the front, earning a Michelin Guide mention in 2024. The al pastor is the standout — properly charred, well-seasoned, and what locals come back for — while the cabeza tacos hold their own with rich, tender meat.

Open 24 hours, it's a practical stop for a late-night taco fix or an early-morning meal after a night out. The space is large and service moves quickly even when the place is packed. They don't accept American Express or bank transfers, so bring Visa, Mastercard, or cash.
