Tacos Don Juan

Tacos Don Juan serves fast, generously portioned tacos on Calle Atlixco in La Condesa — the kind of spot where locals line up for lunch and the taqueros work at full speed. Weekdays bring a rotating menu of guisados (stewed meats) served with rice or beans, from medallón to chicharrón guisado, all of it doused in housemade salsas that actually bring heat. The standout is suadero (thinly sliced beef), though some come exclusively for the bistec with cheese and bacon.

Fridays and Saturdays switch to carnitas, especially the boneless rib and maciza con cuero (lean pork with crackling), plus quesabirria loaded with goat birria and cheese. The space is small with limited seating, so big groups should order to-go. No bathrooms, no table service — just quick counter ordering and aguas frescas to wash it all down.
