This local institution is the place to try one of Puebla’s great dishes: the taco árabe. Unbelievably moist al pastor (shepherd-style) pork is marinated and spit-grilled then rolled in fresh, slightly charred Middle Eastern–style flatbread. This restaurant and the annex across the street, El Patio de las Ranas, are perpetually full but worth the wait for the unforgettable tacos.
An English menu and ample seating make things easy. Legend has it that Mexico's taco árabe and al pastor came into being in Puebla, as a fusion food of the kebab and shawarma of Middle Eastern residents.
