"Tripa Tacos are MUST TRY!!! Very good It’s not really located in the centro of Moleria but worth visiting and try some juicy meat tacos. Just 10min walk from Catedral de Morelia. You can’t go wrong with delicious side of Ceblitas (grilled onion). Gracias"

"Probé tacos al pastor y bistec, honestamente el bistec es mi favorito, es grasoso pero muy delicioso. Tienen salsas de todas, que pica y que no pica. Acompañan los tacos con cebolla asada muy deliciosa también."
