street food · Narvarte Poniente
El Vilsito
A mechanic shop by day, the best al pastor by night
- An actual auto-repair garage until dark — then the trompo goes up and Narvarte queues
- Watch the taquero flick the pineapple onto the tortilla mid-air
- Still hungry? That's what the gringa is for
Timing
It's a garage until dark — come after 8, pay in cash, sit on the stool
Carry cash and small coins
The best food in the city is cash-only and priced in coins — tacos, markets, elotes, the churros at 2am. Keep 20s, 50s and coins for tips; the street doesn't take cards, and that's exactly where you want to be eating.
