Armando Rodríguez’s Journey
Born and raised in Hermosillo, Sonora, Armando Rodríguez embarked on his culinary journey from a young age. His love for cooking led him to explore the flavors of the region, delving into every corner of the culinary tradition of northern Mexico. As he honed his culinary skills, his dedication to authentic flavors became more and more evident. It didn’t take long for his restaurant, Tacos de Armando, to become a reference for Sonoran cuisine, where freshness and flavor are always at the heart of each dish.

But the world of gastronomy soon noticed Armando Rodríguez’s talent. His contribution to the Netflix documentary series, “Las Crónicas del Taco” (The Taco Chronicles), catapulted his fame nationally, turning his modest restaurant into a culinary sensation. The series not only highlighted his commitment to authentic flavors but also emphasized his passion for sharing the richness of Mexican cuisine with the world. With his appearance on “Las Crónicas del Taco,” Armando Rodríguez achieved what many chefs dream of: introducing the true essence of Mexican cuisine to the world.
From Sonora to Mexico City: Expanding the Legacy
The success of “Tacos de Armando” led the chef to expand his legacy beyond the borders of Sonora. Today, Mexican cuisine enthusiasts can enjoy his creations in his new branch located in Mexico City. The opening of this new location has allowed Armando Rodríguez to share the authentic taste of the north with an even wider audience, captivating hundreds of visitors with each dish that comes out of his kitchen in the iconic Colonia Cuauhtémoc, just a few steps from the Angel of Independence.
Armando Rodríguez’s Offering in Tribute to Great Talents of Mexican Cuisine
Armando Rodríguez joins the 3rd Edition of Tribute to Great Talents of Mexican Cuisine, where his creativity and passion come together in a dish that promises to delight diners’ senses. In this edition, the chef presents his “Sonoran Tacos” with golden flour tortillas, ribeye, avocado, and green chili, accompanied by a red habanero sauce. Each bite is an invitation to a culinary journey where the flavors of northern Mexico intertwine in harmony, creating a unique experience that pays homage to the culinary richness of Mexico.
The perfect pairing for these delicious tacos, full of flavor and tradition, is the “Toy Plane” (Avión de Juguete), a red wine that shares similarities with our passion for cooking and authentic flavors. Coming from the regions of Riverland, McLaren Vale, and Langhorne Creek, this wine is a blend of Grenache (85%), Shiraz (10%), and Mataro (5%) grapes. Its cherry-red color with bright highlights announces a feast of red fruits such as cherries, raspberries, and strawberries, along with hints of rose petals and wildflowers. On the palate, it surprises with its smoothness and silky tannins, accompanied by fresh and salivating acidity.
