Mexican tacos with Swiss cheese

""El Chalet" in Mexico City is a restaurant that makes 100% Mexican tacos with Swiss cheese. I don't normally like cheese, either... Try the garlic sauce."

I do not like cheese and despite this weirdness of mine, here I do crave it.

Imagine the great taste of 100% Mexican tacos plus the flavor of Swiss cheese. In short, at El Chalet you will find its variety of tacos fabulous: from the classic pastor to the specials; everything is a real delight and what they lack the least is flavor.

The key here is the garlic sauce: it gives the tacos a spectacular taste. Do not forget to ask for it. If you are going to eat bistec tacos, you definitely should put some garlic sauce on them.

What you should have for dessert? The coconut flan: the perfect complement to please your palate. Accompany it with a pot of coffee.

Two observations: 1) the service is not the most attentive but it is fast, and 2) standard prices.
