Description

La Once Mil is a gourmet taqueria, a restaurant specialized in tacos and other antojitos—Mexican street food.[1]

Beef tacos offered include carne asada, arrachera, picaña, Wagyu, lechón, or rib eye steak. Non-beef options include bass al pastor and vegan alternatives.[1][2] The tortillas are handmade and come in different varieties. The restaurant offers sauces ranging in spiciness.[3]

Beside tacos, the taqueria serves tostadas, including spicy tuna or ceviche varieties, quesadillas, noodle soup, or Caesar’s salad. Desserts include sorbets, ice creams and meringues.[2]

History

César de la Parra opened in 2024 the first La Once Mil restaurant in Lomas de Chapultepec, an affluent neighborhood in Miguel Hidalgo. [4] He opened it with two associates, Enrique Glennie and Jimena Gutiérrez. According to them, the idea for the taqueria was to serve tacos of higher quality than the traditional street version.[1]

The name for La Once Mil comes from the postal code serving Lomas de Chapultepec, 11000.[5]

Reception

A reviewer for the Marco Beteta travel guide commented that the prices are higher than those at street taquerias, which prompted discussion, attributing them to the quality of the ingredients.[6]

In 2026, La Once Mil received one Michelin star in 2026, meaning “high-quality cooking, worth a stop”, prasing the food preparation.[3]
