Elena Reygadas (Rosetta, Mexico City) brought her taco programme to Copenhagen's meatpacking district. The result is a Mexican-Danish cult crossover with seasonal fillings and nixtamalized masa.

Three or four tacos minimum — the fillings rotate but there's always a benchmark item (carnitas or similar). The salsa verde. Whatever seasonal option uses Danish produce in an unexpected way.
Lunch queue starts at noon — arrive by 11:45 for the best selection. The Kødbyen outdoor space in summer is excellent. Also open evenings in the taqueria format.
Chef Elena Reygadas has Rosetta in Mexico City, one of Latin America's best restaurants. Hija de Sanchez (Daughter of Sanchez) is a taqueria that takes nixtamalization seriously — the corn for the tortillas is prepared the traditional way. A short menu that changes with Danish seasons applied to Mexican formats. Queue is part of the experience.
