Tacos De Tripas Las Tablitas
Tacos De Tripas Las Tablitas is a small restaurant in Mexico City that specializes in tacos made with offal. The space is simple with an open kitchen where customers can watch food being prepared, and the tacos are served on small wooden boards instead of plates.
The restaurant started more than 90 years ago as a tortilla shop at the same location. Over time, customers began asking for tortillas with the offal that staff were eating, and this evolved into the signature dish the restaurant offers today.
This restaurant represents a long tradition of eating offal in Mexico City that families have passed down through generations. The name Las Tablitas refers to the small wooden boards on which the tacos are traditionally served, reflecting the handmade preparation and down-to-earth character of the place.
The restaurant is open from midday until late evening daily, offering several options for visiting at different times. Since seating is limited and it gets crowded, especially during lunch, be prepared for a busier experience or standing while eating.
The dish has roots in a practical habit: more than 90 years ago, customers wanted to try the offal that staff ate for lunch wrapped in tortillas. What started as a side practice became the core of a restaurant serving multiple generations of customers.
