Lucio's 40-peso Mexico City tacos, made in front of you. A perfect five stars and a fan base that apologizes for sharing it.
El Patron is the taco stand with a perfect rating and reviewers openly mourning that their secret got out. Lucio, from Mexico City, makes chilango-standard street tacos (al pastor, chicken, pork on corn tortillas) fresh in front of you at 40 pesos each, and somehow the consensus is that the man is even better than the tacos. One regular has publicly offered to personally refund anyone who doesn't love it, which is not a warranty the big places offer.
The vibe is chill, the welcome is real, and the instruction from everyone who's been is identical: if you come to Rocky Point and fail to make it here, you've made a mistake.
Local tips
Order across the board (pastor, chicken, pork) because nobody has settled which one wins. Bring pesos and a willingness to chat; Lucio is half the experience.
What to order
The al pastor first, then the pork, then the chicken, then repeat the vote.
