Mexican reggaeton artist El Malilla confirmed that his venture into the food industry with the taquería Los Pacientes in Mexico City stemmed from his great love for food after his musical career. "We ventured to make the tacos... obviously I'm not 100% the owner, I have a partnership there, but it's very nice to start this guajiro dream because honestly, food is something I love after making music," he stated to entertainment media. Los Pacientes: El Malilla's 'guajiro dream' becomes a business in CDMX The establishment Los Pacientes was born as an idea that the artist himself developed privately for months. The quesadillas, including the quesabirria and combinations with grilled beef or chicken, reach 125 pesos. In appetizers, the menu includes options like house beans, esquites, cheese chicharrón, prepared nopales, and garlic tostadas, with prices starting from 35 pesos. The drinks section features cocktails like margaritas, cucumber frescos, and Aperol Spritz, as well as aguas frescas and sodas. At the entrance, some plants provide a visual contrast within the overall design. Los Pacientes Menu: Tacos, Quesadillas, and Cocktails The taquería's menu is organized into three main categories: tacos, quesadillas, and appetizers, with an offer covering different proteins and preparations. Among the standout options are sirloin, birria, tongue, suadero, chicken, chop, and molleja tacos, with prices ranging from 48 to 58 pesos. One of the central elements is the open kitchen, which allows you to watch the preparation of tacos, quesadillas, and other dishes in real-time. At the back of the place, there is a station dedicated to drinks, including alcoholic ones. "I ventured with them because I'm new in this field." How is the taquería Los Pacientes? "Here they don't rush, because good things take their time." The average cost per person at Los Pacientes is between 300 and 380 pesos, considering a combination of two tacos, one drink, and one appetizer. Where is Los Pacientes and what are its hours? The taquería Los Pacientes is located on Doctor J. Navarro street, in the Doctores neighborhood, within the Cuauhtémoc borough, in Mexico City. The operating hours are from Tuesday to Sunday, from 14:00 to 23:00. Fernando Hernández Flores —the artist's real name— explained that he worked on the concept before making it public. "It's a very nice news, I had been working on it and hiding it for quite some time." Desserts include options like lemon charlotte, peaches with cream, and ice cream, along with traditional Mexican sweets. A phrase included in the menu summarizes the concept of the place: "Here you come to choose calmly, to savor slowly." The space features flattened walls, a ceiling with no visible decoration, and a sober palette that contrasts with functional details. The place has a large hall equipped with metal tables and green-toned chairs. Now that it is something material, it excites me too much, expressed the Mexican artist upon the opening. The interpreter of 'B de Bellako' made it clear that this venture is not entirely his, as he participates as a partner with close people. Open Kitchen and Industrial Style The visual concept of the singer's taquería bets on an industrial design.
