A different experience in mexican street food. The flautas are really good, excelente service, the sauce they use is very tasty.

Maya Sommer From Google 5

One of my favorite restaurants ever. The flautas are always delicious, whether you order them through Rappi or dine in. My personal favorites are the chicken and potato/cheese. Sometimes I wish they served beer, but their horchata hits the spot too. When I go a month or two without them, I find myself craving them…

I ordered flautas ahogadas and they were simple but delicious. But what really impressed me was the service, similar to what I would expect at a five-star restaurant.

FLAUTAS!!! No frills place with great food. The staff were super friendly and made sure we got our flautas. I had the chicken, potato, and steak flautas swimming in green salsa goodness. This place is going on my list for the top flautas in cdmx that’s in a tie with another place. My fav were the steak and potato flautas.

Oh definitely this is EL REY of flautas ahogadas. What makes it so special? The green salsa where the flautas are soaked in. A flauta is a Crispy rolled long taco stuffed either with pulled beef, pulled chicken, mashed potatoes or cheese. After not being in Mex city for a long time I just came to this place to flavour these lush Crispy tacos.

Nice place for a good taco. Apparently it is very popular among locals since it was very crowded!

The Flautas Abogadas here are amazing, for all dietary requirements and a great price
