Crowded taquería with flavorful classics, great aguas frescas, and inconsistent but fast-when-on service; go for suadero, pastor, and tripe if you can tolerate occasional service chaos.
Taquería La Estrella De Jalisco 2 delivers solid neighborhood taquería quality anchored by strong food quality with authentic suadero, pastor, and tripa preparations and fair value. However, quality varies noticeably across visits, and service attentiveness lags significantly, particularly during busy periods. The lively street-corner energy and handmade tortillas appeal to regulars, but operational inconsistency and service gaps prevent it from reaching the higher tier of local favorites.
This is a lively corner taquería where grills hiss and trays of salsas keep moving. Expect big energy, late hours, and crowds that ebb and surge. One regular summed it up: "When they are on it, tacos land hot and fast." Service can lag, so bring patience for the busy rush. Cooking stays close to CDMX traditions: suadero, pastor, and tripa done on classic planchas, plus handmade tortillas on request. Aguas frescas are made to order and come in giant sizes, and there is a vegetarian combo with nopales and mushrooms. Flavors shine when fresh off the grill, though a few diners hit cold or overdone plates. Families do fine here thanks to familiar tacos, melted cheese options, sweet aguas, and simple desserts. Kids who like straightforward flavors can stick to pastor, suadero with mild salsa, horchata, and flan. It is loud and bustling, so not ideal for strollers or sensitive ears at peak times.
