| Metallox said: You been to Tijuana? I've been twice to CDMX and I never tried tacos there. Thing is, there were only styles I don't like, like al vapor, barbacoa, pastor, canasta, and so on. When it comes to meat, I pretty much prefer it when it's marinated with orange juice or another standard seasoning. Then I like to have tacos with roast meat, coriander and onion. That's it, so yeah, not much of a taco guy myself. I did have the best corte de arrachera I have ever eaten in El Cardenal, in the Centro Histórico, though, I cannot stress enough how well prepared it was. |
Yes, I've been to Tijuana, and I had tacos at some place that is very hyped up internationally, Franc, or something like that. They were great, but I've had better tacos in Mexico City, no question about that. You could also see it as a matter of numbers, 95% of Mexico City's population has access to at least one taco place within a radius of approx 1/3 mile (400 m). With that many taco places, you're almost certain that you'll find something better in CDMX.
You should try cochinita, it's pork marinated with achiote and orange juice, it is served with a fresh salsa made of purple onions and habanero marinated in vinegar and salt. I've never tried Taco Bell myself, there is no such thing in Mexico City. Next time I go to the US I'll try them, but, as far as I can tell, Taco Bell seems as Mexican as Sushi.
Bolded: I've never been to that place, thanks for the heads up mate, I'll be there soon.
