A one-stop chomp to try two of Mexico City's most iconic tacos: suadero (beef) and al pastor (spit-cooked marinated pork). Suadero tacos can be combined with longaniza (Mexican sausage) by ordering a campechano. One of the more affordable options in the upscale Polanco neighborhood, El Rey has received a thumbs up from renowned Pujol chef Enrique Olvera.
