Worth it?

Northern-style tacos are the point, and the order is clear: a costra taco wrapped in crispy melted cheese on a flour tortilla, with deep-fried mini potatoes on the side. It is cheap, loud and popular late at night, and lines form at peak hours. Good for a fast, filling stop in Roma Norte; skip it if you want a quiet table and a long conversation.

Before you go

  • Order the costra taco, with its shell of crispy melted cheese.
  • Add the deep-fried mini potatoes.
  • Come outside peak hours if you want to avoid the line.

Highlights

  • Signature costra tacos with crispy melted cheese
  • Northern-style flour tortillas
  • Deep-fried mini potatoes
  • Popular late-night dining spot
  • Expect lines during peak hours
