Puebla's "Don Pastor" Taqueria Offers Unique CDMX Metro-Themed Dining Experience
Puebla, Mexico – A unique culinary concept has emerged in Puebla with the "Don Pastor" taqueria chain, which draws its inspiration from the iconic Mexico City Metro system. The restaurant, as highlighted in a recent online video, meticulously recreates elements of the subway, offering diners an immersive experience. Upon entering, patrons are greeted by a replica metro car, complete with seating designed to mimic a subway interior. The attention to detail extends to turnstiles, station-like signage, and even a "seismic alert" sign, all contributing to the distinct ambiance. One reviewer noted, "We loved that it has a turnstile, signage, and other elements inspired by CDMX, like the stalls and even a 'seismic alert'." The menu features a variety of traditional Mexican fare, including tacos al pastor, tacos de asada, and longaniza tacos, alongside an "Arabic pizza" and classic desserts like flan and strawberry paletas. While the meat in the tacos was generally well-received, one customer commented, "The meat was good, but the tortillas were a bit cold." The establishment also offers a selection of salsas and horchata. The "Don Pastor" taqueria, with its branch located directly opposite the Cathedral in Puebla, offers a novel dining experience that combines popular Mexican cuisine with a nostalgic and playful tribute to Mexico City's public transport. The establishment aims to provide a fun and engaging environment for those who appreciate themed restaurants.
