A 24-hour taco counter near the Costera in central Acapulco, popular for a late-night or early-morning stop for tacos al pastor and quesadillas.
El Zorrito is a round-the-clock taco counter near the Costera in central Acapulco, Guerrero, a fixture for locals and visitors alike heading home after a night out or looking for an early breakfast. The menu is built on tacos al pastor cut from a trompo, along with quesadillas and gringas, the pastor-and-cheese tortilla popular across central Mexico. Seating is at simple counter stools and plastic tables under bright lighting, informal and fast-paced, with the sizzle of the grill and steady turnover keeping the energy up at almost any hour. There is no beverage program beyond bottled soda, agua fresca, and beer; the focus is entirely on the tacos. Reservations do not apply here; it is a walk-up counter operating continuously, busiest late at night on weekends and again in the early morning.
