Taquería El Gran Abanico

Tránsito, Mexico City · Mexican · $$

Taquería El Gran Abanico sits in the Tránsito neighborhood - south of Centro, east of Roma, a colonia that most tourists skip entirely - and has over 52,000 Google reviews, making it one of the most-reviewed restaurants in Mexico City. The operation is straightforward: a lineup of guisados (rotating stewed fillings) spooned onto freshly pressed tortillas, served to a crowd that has been coming since before smartphones existed to record it. That review count doesn't reflect virality; it reflects decades of consistent cooking for a neighborhood that judges on the same terms every day.
