Cuantos Tacos
Get: Suadero tacos, plus the birria ramen if you can carry broth.
Mexico City street tacos on small, griddled tortillas hold up well for a 15-minute delivery. Michelin recognized and still on its April 2026 taco list.
Good to know: It is a food truck, so the counter is the backup if the app shows it closed.

How we pick: our own stories and guides first, then this year's critics and best-of lists; every place checked open and checked to do takeout or delivery. Photos marked "a photo like it" show the food, not that place's. Delivery areas and hours change; check before you order. Chef Amazing is not paid by any place on this page.
Chef Amazing remembers every place you ate, keeps the lists friends send you, and helps you cook it at home.
Researched and published by Chef Amazing, from our own stories, this year’s critics and food press, and a check that each place is open. Nobody pays to be on our lists: how we pick. Spot something wrong? Tell us and we fix it.
