El Economista published its seven‑stop Día del Taco guide on March 31, 2026, credited to reporter Diego López. (eleconomista.com.mx) (eleconomista.com.mx) The piece singles out Taquería El Torito for its tripa and suadero preparations and lists its Centro Histórico location at Isabel La Católica 83. (eleconomista.com.mx) (eleconomista.com.mx) El Torito has operated in the historic center for decades and its suadero/tripa service was featured in Netflix’s Las Crónicas del Taco, boosting its profile. (directoalpaladar.com.mx) (directoalpaladar.com.mx) El Vilsito appears in the guide as a landmark pastor spot that transforms from a mechanic’s shop into a taquería at Av. Universidad 248 in Narvarte. (eleconomista.com.mx) (eleconomista.com.mx) El Vilsito also holds a MICHELIN Guide Bib Gourmand, a recognition for good quality and value that has amplified visitor demand.
