Taquerias Carnalito | Our Story
A Family Recipe Since 1928
One family recipe, passed down since 1928 — unchanged. The name on the bowl says it all: Taquerías Carnalito, Original de CDMX.
The Trompo Doesn't Lie
Al pastor is a CDMX tradition born from the vertical spit — ours turns slow, marinating deep into every layer, shaved to order with pineapple on top.
Chilango at Heart
Nixtamalization. The gaonera. Salsas made from real family recipes — not a shortcut in sight. We're a chilango taquería: accessible to everyone, premium in everything, fast without ever feeling rushed.
Por Amor al Taco in NOLA
New Orleans is one of America's greatest food cities, and it deserved the real thing. We landed on Poydras Street to fill a genuine void — and the gente showed up.
Behind the Door: Tragos Amargos
Hidden inside Carnalito is a cocktail bar — curated music, serious drinks, intimate energy. Find the door.
