El Vilsito
By day, El Vilsito might look like your average auto repair shop, but by night, it transforms into one of Mexico City’s most beloved taquerías. Located in the Narvarte Poniente neighbourhood, this unique spot is famous for serving some of the best tacos al pastor in the city, drawing in crowds from all over.
The atmosphere at El Vilsito is a blend of street food charm and the unexpected thrill of eating at a place that doubles as a car workshop. The vibe is lively and casual, with a no-frills approach that lets the food do all the talking. As the sun sets, the grill heats up, and you’ll see the taqueros expertly carving juicy, marinated pork from the spinning trompo, creating tacos al pastor that are nothing short of legendary.
The tacos here are served with a side of tradition—freshly cut pineapple, cilantro, onions, and a squeeze of lime. If you’re feeling adventurous, try the campechano, a mix of pastor and bistec that packs a punch of flavour. El Vilsito is the perfect spot for a late-night taco run, staying open until the early hours to satisfy those after-hours cravings.
El Vilsito’s unique setting and top-notch tacos have made it a must-visit destination for taco lovers in Mexico City. The juxtaposition of a bustling taco stand within a functioning auto repair shop adds to the quirky charm that keeps people coming back.
