About this spot
Tacos Rigo serves up authentic regional street food where the al pastor is marinated with fresh pineapple and served on warm corn tortillas that melt in your mouth. The atmosphere buzzes with local energy as you watch skilled cooks spin their vertical grills to perfect the char on every slice of meat.
💡 Tips before you go
- Ask for extra cilantro and onion if you want to balance the rich pork fat, but skip the lettuce if you prefer traditional street style.
- Order a small bottle of agua fresca or horchata to cut through the saltiness of the spicy salsa verde.
- Arrive early in the day because the queue stretches around the block when the fresh meat is first put on the grill.
