"The absolute best item is its exemplary tacos filled with cochinita pibil or slow-roasted pork braised in a thick achiote and sour orange adobo sauce. The house corn tortillas are good, too, as is the stinging habanero salsa you spoon on top."

Gaby Dalkin

"Best cochinita pibil in the city! Go for the tacos."

Lonely Planet

"This old-school taquería is a welcome sight in a neighborhood known for its pricey eats. With a recipe that's been in the family for 45 years, Turix does one thing and does it well: cochinita pibil (marinated pork). Top your taco or torta (sandwich) with pickled onion and a four-alarm habanero salsa, just like they do it in the Yucatán."

Bon Appétit Magazine

"While they occasionally offer an extra dish or two, you’re here for cochinita pibil—nothing more, nothing less. The shredded pork in a deep achiote-and-sour-orange adobo is an icon of Yucatecan cuisine, and the gloriously gloppy rendition at Turix is perfect."

Christina Wylie

"The best pulled pork tacos in Mexico City. We stood around blissfully ignoring the mess we were making with the finger lickin’-good pork taco."

FoodieHub

"Tacos of succulent cochinita pibil, the fragrant pork in achiote, chile and citrus sauce."

New Worlder

"Though the line is long, you need to get on it and prepare to make your palate happy with a cochinita pibil panucho. This Yucatecan speciality, slow-roasted pulled pork cooked in achiote paste with citrus, is one of those life-changing delicacies."

Well Traveled

"While this casual taco spot isn’t anything special on the outside, the tacos definitely are. Usually, there’s a line wrapped around the corner and limited space for sitting, but do as the locals do and eat your cochinita pibil (smoked-roasted pork) standing in the street."

Fathom

"Don’t underestimate this understated, street-side taqueria. Despite its hole-in-the-wall looks, it offers some of the best cochinita pibil tacos around."

Anders Husa

"Our favorite cochinita pibil taco in Mexico City was at El Turix. The pork is slow-roasted and marinated in citrus, resulting in extremely juicy and flavorful meat. The tacos are practically dipped into the stew, which makes them a little soggy, but not in an unpleasant way."
