Taqueria El Amigo Chino, nestled in the heart of San Francisco de Campeche, is a taco lover's paradise. Customers rave about the stellar al pastor options, particularly the pastor trancas that have quickly become local favorites. Heather Owens aptly describes the pork and cheese sandwich she stumbled upon for just 42 pesos as a mind-blowing experience, eclipsing dishes from more expensive restaurants. The dedicated patrons echo her sentiments; Sean Patterson highlights the inexpensive, quick service that never compromises on taste.
The restaurant's inviting atmosphere pairs well with its flavor-packed dishes. George Thomas emphasizes the brilliance of the house-made sauces, especially the green spicy sauce, which adds an extra punch to each bite. Baldwin Carden's praise for their horchata exemplifies the charm of traditional Mexican beverages served here.
It’s no wonder visitors return night after night, drawn by the great salsas and the irresistible queso. Taqueria El Amigo Chino doesn’t just serve food; it offers a genuine taste of Mexican street fare that warms the heart and satisfies the palate. This eatery is a must-try for anyone exploring Campeche.

Oh my god, I just stopped here randomly on my way back from Sorianas and I'm blown away! This 42 pesos pork and cheese sandwich has blown my mind. I had a 6 burrito this afternoon at some posh restaurant on calle 59 that didn't even come close to this one. I can not recommend this enough. It's absolutely delicious! It's honestly the best 'street food' that I've had since I arrived in Mexico and I've tried a lot.

We eat here for all three nights of our stay in Campeche. The pastor trancas are exceptional & the sauces- especially the green spicy one- simply brilliant!! A fantastic place to eat in Campeche!

Ate here multiple nights in a row. It’s that good! The best pastor places only serve pastor, and this is some of the best in Campeche. Great salsas and the queso is TO DIE FOR!
