Tacos Árabes Bagdad has operated in Puebla's Centro Histórico since 1933, making it one of the oldest tacos árabes taquerías in the city, a distinction it shares with a small handful of long-running competitors from the same Lebanese-Poblano culinary tradition. The counter serves tacos árabes in an al pastor-influenced style, spit-roasted and served with a chipotle salsa that has become closely associated with the stand's version of the dish. The setting is a modest street-food counter with simple seating, an unhurried pace outside of peak hours, and a casual, no-frills atmosphere; there is no dress code and no formal dining room. Drinks are limited to sodas, aguas frescas, and bottled beer rather than any wine or cocktail program. As a long-standing street-food operation, it takes no reservations and operates on a walk-in basis, with the busiest periods falling around traditional lunch and dinner hours.
