A 6-stop route, walkable in an evening
Start ~6pm, eat one or two things at each spot, walk between them. Total budget per person: ~500–700 MXN. Bring cash + appetite. Skip a stop if you're full — this is joy, not a chore.
El Fogón (Av. 30 & Calle 30)
Order: 1 al pastor + 1 costilla
The bar is the trompo. Pastor with pineapple is the gold standard in PDC.
Las Brasas
Order: Quarter chicken with tortillas + salsa verde
Wood-fired pollo asado — palette cleanser before more pastor.
Los Aguachiles
Order: Aguachile verde + tostada de atún
Cold seafood interlude. Sit, hydrate, share, breathe.
El Trompo
Order: Tacos al pastor + a gringa
Late-night trompo, locals only, cheap. Compare directly to El Fogón.
El Pirata (Calle 4)
Order: Pulpo en su tinta or camarón al ajillo
If you still have room — old-school cantina seafood, micheladas.
La Floresta
Order: Tacos de pescado y camarón
Baja-style battered fish/shrimp tacos. Roadside, perfect ending.
