History

According to Chilango, the stand began around 1994 as a sheet-metal stall outside the Coyoacán Metro station on Calle Mayorazgo. It moved more than once and settled under the overpass where Río Churubusco meets Avenida México-Coyoacán, with additional stands at La Raza and outside the Chapultepec Metro station. Grill cook Guillermo Matías de Hilario, nicknamed La Mamba Negra, had worked the plancha there for 15 years by 2017. The stand started without a trompo and added al pastor later.

The chupacabras taco, the oldest recipe on the menu, combines bistec, cecina and chorizo with a secret seasoning the cook says contains 127 spices. Other tacos include machitos (lamb tripe), árabe, pastor and suadero. A help-yourself bar offers potatoes, nopales, grilled onions, strips of habanero and unlimited beans in broth, and the green salsa is notably hot. The stand also sells chilaquiles, tortas, pambazos, flautas and gorditas.
