Taquería El Gran Abanico

Arguably the city's best carnitas (b,l; $)

A line often goes around the building at this busy taquería famous for its tender costilla (rib) carnitas. They do other tacos, such as al pastor, but you should definitely indulge in the greasy goodness of the carnitas.

You’ll find it in the Colonia Tránsito neighborhood, a residential area several kilometers south of the Centro Histórico that can easily be reached by metro or on foot.
