Lonely Planet review for Taquitos Frontera

One of a few late-night taquerías along Roma’s main drag, this is a humble alternative with cheerful staff, a smoky open grill and leather tables and chairs. In addition to the main attraction, there are great sides like frijoles charros (cowboy beans) and cebollitas (grilled green onions).

    One rainy night we walked over to Taquitos Frontera, of which there are two locations quite near to each other. The one on Mérida and Álvaro Obregón seems the spiffier, newer of the two, with umbrellaed tables on the sidewalk. It also looks superficially cleaner. The other location, on the corner of A. Obregón at Calle Frontera can best be described as "a hole in the wall", with a louche atmosphere of cluttered crowdedness. This greatly appealed to me, especially after exposure to overpriced, upscale restaurants featuring vertical food on drizzle painted plates.

    We had actually been seeking a pozolería to give sustenance and comfort to our weary bodies, but it appears to have been replaced by a hip bar for affluent aliens from interstellar space. Lástima.

    Although they didn't serve pozole, they did have birria, which two of us ordered. My wife had Frijoles Charros.

    BAM! It was the most intensely and complexly spiced birria we ever tasted. It was also picante, but we wanted that endorphin rush. My wife reported that her Frijoles Charros were very good.

    We also ordered some Brochetas de champiñones (mushroom "skewers") which were o.k. but nothing special. It's a saute of mushrooms, onions and green peppers.

    Not sated by my plato chico de birria, I had a taco of cecina adobada, which was very good, but the tortilas were dry.

    Cheap. Open early, close late.
