"Under a traditional Mexican atmosphere you can enjoy carnitas tacos, tacos maciza, of solid, campechanos or surtida."

Enrique Olvera

"When I’m home, I always stop here for carnitas tacos. A good carnitas taco beats any other taco."

The Daily Meal

"Order anything — carnitas, chicharrón, guacamole, enchiladas, or arrachera with nopales (beef with salad made from Mexican cacti) — and the decades-old (founded in 1945) recipes will come front and center, whether it’s in the taste itself, or the careful preparation of each dish."

Gayot

"Los Panchos is mostly known for its carnitas. You can order pura maciza (loin only), but the best carnitas are surtida, mixed with the rest of the pig (liver, heart, snout, skin, even reproductive organs). On the table are some of the freshest tortillas in Mexico City, with which you can fashion your own tacos, and the time-honored garnishes for carnitas: lime, onion, cilantro and green or red chile sauce."

Jennifer Zyman

"The next morning we got ready quickly and went to Los Panchos for carnitas. Everything was stupendous."

Adela Khadir

"Another recommendation from Señor Alejandro Iñárritu himself, for great, authentic tacos at a reasonable price. Get the carnitas and chicharrón tacos! Best for an informal lunch."

Nils Bernstein

"As evidenced by the midday mobs at the outdoor stand, the huge carnitas tacos at Los Panchos (Tolstoi 9, Col. Anzures) are thought by many to be the city’s best (order the surtida, made from assorted pork cuts, rather than the leaner maciza)."

Cheyne Bjergfelt

"You know that saying to ‘eat where the locals eat’? Well this definitely was it! Los Panchos serves the best carnitas in town! Carnitas is basically little bits of pork that have been stewed for hours in a thick based pot, with added flavorings, resulting in the most delicious tender meat."

Adolfo B.

"More than 60 years of making tacos. Order the carnitas."

Santiago Gomez

"For specific bites try the tacos de carnitas at Los Panchos."
