It’s a proper value for money outing. Wouldn’t say outstanding, but competent. Staff were friendly and responsive. Great salsas.

Good tacos, it worked out nicely to ask them not to use coreander for mine (sin cilantro). To avoid misunderstandings you order using a list with the dishes. The food arrived fast and was tasty. We also liked the fresh juices a lot and the...guacamole.More

I found these tacos to be a bit on the bland side. I tried to liven them up with salsa and lime juice, but even then I didn't find them worth finishing. There are so many incredible places for tacos in Mexico City that there's...no need to waste your time and money on these.More

Casual, neighborhood taco place. Casual, with generous, tasty portions. Nothing fancy, good service. It does the job.

I would no doubt stopping by at El Farolito Anh time I want to have some good, fast, real tacos. Mind due the place is indeed no frills, so there is nothing fancy about it

This is one of my favorite taco places in all of México... started visiting when I was a kid more than 40 years ago with my parents, and now I visit with my family... the tacos and different combinations are really good, with perfect spicy...sauces to join the tacos... the tortas are awesome, and the juice bar is out of this world... desserts are great as well... this restaurant is now a huge franchise, and you can find them everywhere, but the original one in La Condesa continues to be my favorite, and where, while I enjoy my tacos, I can travel back in time to my childhood...More

Tasty and well priced for the upscale neighbourhood. Tacos and Tortillas are tasty and come fast and furious. Drinks by single or pitcher. Good for families and larger groups... Good luck and enjoy.

Fantastic variety of tacos. I fell in love with the fried cheese tacos called costras. Very close to downtown in the Condesa neighbourhood. Very friendly staff.

We live close to here and visit often, there is an amazing selection of tacos. Start with the Chicharrón de queso and try their range of salsas, something for every spice level. Be careful to check when ordering how big some of the items are...as the faroladas for example are massive! The service is always on point and although the building and decor is quite dated that adds to the charm as this place is a México City institution!More

For as long as I can remember, this taqueria has been catering to generations of chilangos... it has one of the most extended menus, with all kinds of tacos, tortas and many other options. This joint grew into a very successful franchise, and while you...can find cheaper options, you will always find the same quality in these places... worth mentioning the fresh juices they serve as well, and deserts are really good... the special touch, the spicy/hot sauces variety... definitely recommendedMore
