7 taqueria spots in Centro Histórico, editor-picked by TableJourney. All of Centro Histórico's food · All taqueria in Puebla.
Tacos Árabes Bagdad ★ 4.4
Avenida 2 Poniente 311, Centro, 72000 Puebla
Tacos Arabes Bagdad has folded spit-roast pork into pan arabe in Puebla since 1933, and has worked the 2 Poniente counter since 1945, one of two claimants.
Tip: Bagdad has branches in Mayorazgo, Humboldt and San Manuel, but the 2 Poniente address is the one with the history.
Don Pastor ★ 4.1
Calle 16 de Septiembre 203, Centro histórico de Puebla, 72000 Puebla
Don Pastor works two spits on 16 de Septiembre in Puebla, al pastor and arabe, alongside alambres, cemitas and a queso fundido, running until half eleven.
Tip: Six salsas sit on the counter and the two spits run until 23:30, which makes this the easiest late taco stop on 16 de Septiembre.
Don Pastor ★ 4.1
Calle 16 de Septiembre 203, Centro histórico de Puebla, 72000 Puebla
Don Pastor works two spits on 16 de Septiembre in Puebla, al pastor and arabe, alongside alambres, cemitas and a queso fundido, running until half eleven.
Tip: Tacos run about 32 pesos each here, dearer than the barrio spits, but the location on 16 de Septiembre is unbeatable.
Tacos Beyrut ★ 4.1
Avenida 5 Poniente 718-A, Centro histórico de Puebla, 72000 Puebla
Tacos Beyrut opens only in the evening on 5 Poniente in Puebla, carving pork off the vertical spit into warm pan arabe for around 24 pesos a taco.
Tip: Opens at 17:30 and closes at 22:00, and does not open on Sundays, so this is strictly an evening address.
Tacos Tony ★ 4.0
Avenida 3 Poniente 149, Centro histórico de Puebla, 72000 Puebla
Tacos Tony has served tacos arabes in Puebla since 1942, from a 3 Poniente counter a block off the Zocalo that fills with families on Sunday afternoons.
Tip: Saturday and Sunday afternoons bring Puebla families in numbers, so go on a weekday if you want a seat straight away.
El Patio y Las Ranas ★ 3.8
Avenida 2 Poniente 105, Centro, 72000 Puebla
El Patio y Las Ranas sits on 2 Poniente in Puebla and folds tacos al pastor into pan arabe, a crossover between the city's two great spit traditions.
Tip: This is the crossover order in Puebla: pastor marinade, Lebanese bread, and it explains how one taco became the other.
El Taco Poblano ★ 3.6
Avenida 9 Oriente 2, Centro histórico de Puebla, 72000 Puebla
El Taco Poblano on 9 Oriente in Puebla runs one of the cheapest taco arabe deals in the Centro, two tacos for roughly 30 pesos, all day long.
Tip: Open 10:30 to 21:30 every day, which is the widest window of any taco arabe counter inside the Centro Historico.
