Mexico City
These are the five most-mentioned restaurants among the 500+ independent social media posts and blog reviews we researched.
Diners are divided
Fans love the meats, salsas and flour tortillas. Others leave wondering what the fuss was about, with complaints about taste, service and value. A popular taco stop, but the buzz doesn't guarantee your favorite meal.

A top social media mention
Juicy pork belly and bone-marrow tacos have diners talking. Most reviews are positive, but reports of long waits make this one to plan around, not squeeze into a rushed day.
Price range: $$

The tostada gets love. The full meal gets mixed reactions.
The crispy tuna tostada is the stand out, but other dishes, waits and the bill left some diners less impressed. Keep expectations balanced for this much-talked-about seafood lunch.
Price range: $$$$

A promising pick for seafood lovers
The tuna tostada, verde aguachile, grilled shrimp, and the seafood tower are some highlights here. Generous portions make this a great spot for sharing with a small group!

Plenty of love for the tacos
Fresh tortillas, juicy meats and costilla/ribeye tacos are the top mentions. Feedback is mostly positive, though suadero gets less consistent praise. Expect lines, heat and crowds as the downstairs taquería is the main stop!
