After our first taco for lunch today, I was craving more Al Pastor for dinner, so I checked the list my colleague gave me and we walked to Taqueria El Patriarca.
We spent the afternoon doing a free walking tour around the historic center of CDMX when it started raining heavily in the middle. After resting and drying off a bit in our hotel, we walked to Taqueria El Patriarca for dinner. We ordered Tacos Al Pastor and Quesadilla de Pastor, and paired it with horchata and jamaica.
The Tacos Al Pastor wasn't as flavorful as the one earlier, but it had crispy edges that gave it a bacon-like texture. Unfortunately, this also made it dryer.

Meanwhile, the quesadilla (our first in Mexico!) was piping hot and covered in melted cheese, but it was a tad too greasy and heavy.

Both the horchata and jamaica were also too sweet for my liking.

Overall, it was a good decision to visit Taqueria El Patriarca, because it made me realize that the tacos from Taqueria Los Cocuyos are still my favorite.
