Wonderful place to eat. We arrived just before the rush because we saw the reviews on google maps. The atmosphere was really nice, service was great and the food was quick and very delicious. We had Coletas, Tacos, Alambres and a Torta. Everything was done well and really tasty.

This place has the best tacos in San Cristobal. We had dinner here twice because they were just so good. Both both times I had the same thing I believe they ate called “coletas” which is a flour tortilla with melted cheese and meat. Really really good! And to drink. I had a beer the first time and the second time I had a Mojito, which was amazing I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.

Excellent tacos with an elevated level of execution can be found here at Tacoleto. The plain taco versions and the larger versions on flour tortillas are all very good. They take their time here, provide excellent salsas, limes and other bonuses. They have a good list of beers and attentive service. The prices are very fair. This is one of my favorite taco spots in San Cristobal.

Just had the best margarita I’ve had so far in Mexico and only for 90 pesos! Tacos were delicious too and our waiter was super quick, friendly and attentive. Sad to have found this on our final night in San Cristobal!

The taco al pastor was delicious! The toppings provided were really nicely balanced with the food. Also had a margarita and a mezcalita that were really nice and pretty well priced (120p).

We had a delicious lunch here! For vegetarians there are quesadillas which were super tasty. The tacos were also really nice and you always get sides like lime, guacamole and salsas to add to your dish. Guacamole with chips was good too. Really nice place and staff was very kind!
