After a hearty breakfast at Café de Tacuba and three hours in Templo Mayor, we strolled through the bustling streets of Ciudad de México (CDMX), taking in the sights and sounds of the city. Our destination: Taqueria Los Cocuyos, where we were about to embark on our first taco in Mexico.
Naturally, we had to try the Al Pastor Taco, a local specialty.

But we also decided to give the Suadero Taco a try, as it's mentioned in the MICHELIN Guide.

To cool down from the temperature and humidity, we also ordered some horchata and tamarindo. Personally, I preferred the tamarindo, as it had a nice tartness to it.

The Suadero Taco was good, but the Al Pastor Taco was truly exceptional. So much so that I'm eager to try other taquerias to see if it's just a case of "first-time" bias, or if my colleague really did recommend the best taco place in Mexico City. (Spoiler alert: this was the best taco I've had during this trip!)
