Taquería El Califa (Reforma)

This Reforma location of the long-running taquería chain opens at 1pm and serves until 4am, making it a reliable late-night stop after drinks or a show near El Ángel. The menu runs deep on beef cuts — ribeye with cheese, arrachera, and costilla — plus al pastor and the crispy costra de pastor, a tortilla made entirely of cheese topped with pastor meat.

The service is quick even when the place is packed, and the focus is on quality over speed. Tacos de pastor are a strong bet, and the ribeye with cheese delivers on both seasoning and texture. The space is clean, well-lit, and has table service throughout the night.
