Los Carboncitos

Frommer's Review

The restaurant's owner is from Mexico City, and he brings with him the tastes of central highland Mexico. The menu is simple, but there's hardly anything to steer clear of. One of the main things to order is the tacos, which are primarily grilled meat, such as the fajitas (also called arrachera) or al pastor (soft tacos with marinated, grilled pork, served with onions, cilantro, and pineapple.) These are served with a great collection of salsas. I can also recommend the soups, which are well-made, especially the caldo xochitl (Mexican-style chicken soup) and the traditional pozole. For the seafood, you can try the shrimp al chipotle or the shrimp kabobs. Also, try the good sides, commonly served in Mexico City taco places, such as chicharrón de queso (fried crispy cheese) and the guacamole.
