5/5 stars
In the land of the taqueria, one stands tall on top of the mexican mountain.
I have been lucky enough to visit Mexico City many times, so trust me, my tongue has done its due diligence.
Here's why:
1) I've traveled to 26 countries, and Selene's Gringa is one of the 10 tastiest things I've ever treated my tongue to. If you're not ordering at least 1 Gringa here, then my guess is we'll never be friends.
2) The tacos are automatically offered with extra meat, which make them look like a dinosaur squeezed into a tube top.
3) In fact, there was so much extra that I had some meat lying naked on my plate even after the tortilla was finished. One of Selene's waiters must have spotted this out of the corner of his sombrero because they came over with a new, warm tortilla to cover my shivering meat.
3) For essentially being a glorified taco shack, the bathrooms are bearable. Not that I would walk from home to here just to poop, but I wouldn't walk from here to home just to poop either. (Let that digest in your head).
4) Selene has reserved its place in modern-day society by offering free wifi. There are fancier and fluffier restaurants in Mexico City that aren't even doing this.
5) At one point, my waiter was busy with some other customers, so that same side-eyed chef spotted the gap in service and served me. I wouldn't be surprised if he had the food on the stove levitate while it waited so nobody got hurt and burnt.
The chef even delivered my meal to my table so it was still hot on the plate. In fact, he was only 1 taboo away from delivering the meal directly from my plate to my mouth.
6) Not a joke - I literally carried home a taco from Selene in my suitcase on the flight back to the United States - yes, I declared it at customs, and yes, I declared it delicious.
Really I'm being shy, but what I'm trying to say is.....Selene you beautiful meaty taqueria, will you marry me?
