El Kalimán: Reviews & Ratings
Best taco, good food and nice restaurant, very clean, staff very friendly and put an effort to help me out on their menu, taking care of customer very well. Highly recommended.
Had dinner here on Nov 2023 My Mexican friends took me there, they said “the best tacos!!” My friends chose 2 different types of tacos, they said that normally Mexican people order them. Was amazing! I also loved their guacamole. I would definitely love to go there again someday:)
This place was delicious! Loved that the Al pastor was charcoal. We got the cebollas also and they were so good. Highly recommend!
Absolutely the best Taco experience in CDMX. Charcoal burn grill pastor is definitely makes a huge difference. Food is amazing. Best we have tried. I would avoid touristy famous places. Will come back.
I have been in CDMX for almost two months and this is by far the best taqueria I’ve been to, among all the places I’ve tried in Condesa, roma, centro, Coyoacan. Highly recommend. The tacos al pastor are amazing.
Best establishment tacos in Condesa!! The portions are generous and always delicious (same for the sauces), the staff is incredibly sweet and the place vibes are immaculate and old school. If you’re looking for tacos when you’re in the area look no further, and don’t be fooled by the blue taco chain on the main street!
Fantastic tacos - the best we’ve had in CDMX. Super fresh and fluffy and served within minutes of your order. There are a lot of options to choose from. The service was great. In terms of atmosphere this is really one of those street food type of places. Think bright lights and plastic plates and seating on the pavement. We loved it because it felt very authentic. You won’t be disappointed by going here!
Amazing tacos, probably the best pastor in cdmx. Loved the chile suizo too.
