Love and Tacos “since 1958”
Amor y Tacos, which proudly proclaims its age in its title (“since 1958”), occupied a cavernous space just east of the Zócalo or decades on pedestrian Corregidora. He survived the pandemic but not the ravages of real estate avarice: his place was replaced by a Burger King. The good news is that this venerable downtown institution has reappeared just a few blocks away, near what was once our city’s “Ladies Mile”—that is, the confluence of department stores, only one of which, Palacio de Hierro, it still exists. It continues to offer succulent carnitas and exemplary tacos al pastor. The original mid-century decor, a style until recently consigned to destruction and now emulated throughout the city, has been faithfully reproduced complete with red and white tiled walls, painted slogans hailing taco culture, and even sprinkled floors of sawdust.
