Taquería El Gran Abanico

Order the costilla for a crispy texture or the surtida for a full-fat experience, and arrive early as the carnitas sell out by early afternoon.

In their own words: “You haven't really tapped into Mexico City street food until you've had breakfast carnitas at Taqueria El Gran Abanico. Just a short walk from Metro San Antonio Abad, this old school favorite serves pork the way Michoacán intended it, crispy, rich, and gone by early afternoon. Order the costilla if you like crunch, the surtida if you want the full fat experience, and do it fast.”
