Taqueria El Gran Abanico

What can I say that others haven't said. Delicious tacos and good portions. The best part? The prices. Some sit-down taco places can get pricey quickly, but it wasn't the case here. Staff was super fast and friendly. Place can feel chaotic at moments, but that's part of the place itself. There was a line to get in, but it went by pretty quick.

El Gran Abanico is the place. If you crave authentic carnitas with a great variety of cuts and styles, it has two floors for sevice because it gets crowded service is good for sure I will be back

a true local spot with a great local atmosphere and delicious food. Highly recommended. We may need 15 to 20 min to be seated.

Some of my favorite carnitas tacos in the city. Two tacos are enough to fill the belly. The best combo for me is one surtida and one costilla. Jamaica (hibiscus) water also really good in this place. They are a local favorite and they are always crowded at any time. You can seat at the restaurant or across the street there’s a stand from the same place but the stand is cash only.

Food very good, at lunch time needs to wait for maybe 20min, worthy! I ordered carnitas, tacos and soup, all are delicious.

Amazing food, a must try when visiting Mexico city. Come hungry and with plenty of time. You'll wait in line for about an hour to be seated in one of the 3 floors but is totally worth the wait. 😊😍

This is the most high rated taco shop in Mexico city, so as a taco lover I felt like I had to visit this place. Honestly about the taste, I would only give ⭐️⭐️⭐️ because the taste itself was not that impressive, but the size and portion of the taco were very generous, so I gave 4 starts. I think people like this place because of the nice service and the portion of the food.

Delicious! When we arrived there was a line wrapped around the outside and for a moment that discouraged us since we were very hungry. But we entered within 10 minutes and were seated. Service is fast and friendly. Very efficient. We wanted to try many things, so we ordered the poblano soup [my favorite, it tasted like chicken soup, with mushrooms, chicken, poblanos and squash flowers], the tortilla soup [my husbands favorite, with cheese, tortillas, tomato broth], the costilla de res [beef rib] taco, the maciza taco, two pastor tacos [have pineapple] and two costilla [pork rib] tacos. We also ordered a 100ml sour cream and two aqua minerals. So inexpensive! The tortillas were FILLED with the most delicious and tender meats. It was fun trying all of the different salsas and toppings, too. In the end it was difficult to pick a single winner, but it may lean slightly towards the costilla de res taco. All I can say is I would wait hungry for an hour to eat there again. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! Check this place out! Clean bathrooms as well!
