Fodor's "This restaurant has been serving Hidalgo-style barbacoa to grateful Mexico City residents for over 15 years." Full review

An order of barbacoa comes with everything you need to make tacos you'll remember for days; be sure to order the consommé, flavored with meat drippings, chili, and lime, and wash it all down with a glass of pulque (the freshly fermented sap from the heart of one type of agave plant).
