How to choose
Choose El Si Hay for straightforward corn-tortilla tacos and elotes, La Banqueta for Mexico City-style suadero, head meat, and tongue, El Come Taco for less common cuts, or Maskaras for birria, torta ahogada, and a broader meal. Twisted Trompo was not included as a substitute for the former Trompo because they are different businesses.
Before visiting
