Tacos La Chula
Order the chicharrón de queso first, then the taco de chuleta, then an agua de la jefa with horchata and strawberries. Bright walk-in taquería on Liverpool, in Juárez.
Why go
Mexico City drinkers stay loyal to the taquería they grew up on, which makes a new one hard work. This one opened in Juárez and the neighborhood took to it.1 Guillaume Guevara's ordering advice for The Infatuation is to go one taco at a time, starting with the chicharrón de queso and moving to the chuleta or the arrachera.1 The room is loud and it stays loud, with Mexican classics coming off the speakers.1
Order this / avoid
- Order: the taco de chuleta. Guevara:
the pork chop is seasoned perfectly
.1 - Order: the agua de la jefa, horchata with fresh strawberries in it.1

Just don't sit too close to the open grills ... otherwise, you'll definitely smell like carnitas when you leave.

Verdict
could-visit — One signed review stands behind this, Guillaume Guevara's for The Infatuation in May 2024, and Guevara works in food and beverage consulting, which is worth knowing before you weigh the sentence. It is a good sentence and it is about the chuleta, which is the thing to order. Nothing else has been written that turned up here, there is no award and no named cook, and the room is two years old, so the record is thin on purpose rather than by omission. It is a cheap, loud, walk-in taco counter in Juárez and it earns exactly that much.
