Chabelo at Av. Ferrocarril de Cintura 247 is a classic Mexico City taquería centered on hearty carnitas, generous taco portions, shareable meat-by-the-kilo orders, traditional sides, and soft drinks. Its standout choices include the highly rated Kilo de Carnitas and Tacos de Carnitas, alongside surtido and combinado tacos and value-focused family packages. Current delivery menus place individual tacos around MX$38, while larger carnitas packages offer practical value for groups; the restaurant itself is generally positioned around MX$100-200 per person. The carnitas are prepared from TIF-certified meat and paired simply with onion, cilantro, salsa, and lime, creating a rich yet fresh balance of savory meat and bright garnishes. Nopales and panela cheese provide meat-free accompaniments, although clearly identified vegetarian or gluten-free menus are not advertised. Portions and uncomplicated flavors can work well for families and children. With opening hours concentrated from late morning through the afternoon, Chabelo is particularly suited to lunch, an early meal, takeaway, or a relaxed group feast rather than breakfast or late dinner.
Menu Highlights
Kilo de Carnitas - Tender, richly seasoned pork prepared with Chabelo’s house recipe. It is currently the menu’s highest-ranked favorite and an excellent centerpiece for sharing.
Tacos de Carnitas - Juicy carnitas meet soft tortillas, onion, cilantro, salsa, and lime for a satisfying combination of richness and freshness. Their straightforward traditional flavor makes them one of the most popular orders.
Tacos de Carnitas Surtidos - A varied carnitas filling gives these tacos a fuller mix of textures and savory flavors, finished with classic fresh garnishes.
Tacos Combinados - These substantial tacos combine two carnitas selections, offering extra variety and a meatier bite than the standard taco.
Paquete Relevos Sencillos - Half a kilo of carnitas paired with soft drinks creates an easy sharing option with strong group-meal appeal.
Orden de Nopales - Tender cactus is tossed with onion, cilantro, olive oil, and oregano for a fresh, lightly herbal contrast to the richer carnitas.
Frijoles Charros - Comforting beans enriched with pork, chicharrón, bacon, and chorizo deliver smoky, savory depth and make a natural side for tacos.
