CDMX Brunswick East
Crispy taco shells and juicy, well-seasoned beef or tuna make these tacos a highlight for many. While the birria and fish options receive high praise, some guests found the grilled steak tacos to be chewy and of lower quality.

“I’ve had CDMX on my list for such a long time, and I’m so glad I finally made it in. The whole experience was fantastic. The menu isn’t overwhelming but still has something for everyone – and the standout for me was the Birria Ramen. I couldn’t resist ordering it, and it was absolutely delicious. It had all the flavour of a Birria Taco but without”
