Legendary late-night taco cart in Condesa serving suadero, longaniza, and other meats until early morning. Always packed with locals and clubgoers. Simple but excellent quality with fresh tortillas and salsas.
Tacos Los Guichos is a legendary late-night taco cart stationed at the corner of Sonora and Nuevo León in Colonia Condesa, Mexico City. Operating from early evening until the early hours of the morning, the cart draws a devoted nightly crowd ranging from neighborhood residents winding down after dinner to partygoers looking for sustenance after a night out. The setup is simple and entirely street-level: a large flat comal loaded with slowly rendering meats, a stack of fresh corn tortillas, and handmade salsas verde and roja prepared in stone molcajetes. The menu focuses on the classic Mexico City taquero repertoire: suadero (a cut of beef from between the skin and belly, cooked in its own fat until tender and crisp at the edges), longaniza (pork sausage spiced with vinegar and herbs), and nana (tripe) are the stars. Tacos are assembled at speed, double-stacked on fresh tortillas, and handed over with a generous dollop of the customer's chosen salsa. Prices are among the lowest in the city for cooked-to-order food, reflecting Los Guichos's identity as a neighborhood institution rather than a tourist-facing operation. The Condesa location places the cart within easy reach of many of the neighborhood's bars and restaurants, making it a natural end-of-night stop. Cash is the only accepted payment. The cart's late-night hours — typically from 7 p.m. through 5 a.m. — mean it is reliably available long after most kitchens in the neighborhood have closed.

- The suadero is the item to order first; ask for it bien doradito (well-crisped) for the best texture

- The cart is outdoors with no seating; eating standing at the edge of the sidewalk is standard practice
