This used to be my go to place for tacos in NY years ago but the quality has gone down…read more Maybe I caught them on off day but I ordered the adobado tacos and they were so salty I couldn't eat them. Luckily I swapped one for my parents carne asada taco and managed to balance it out. In spite of the overall salty meat, service at this location is amazing which is a plus. Rating: 3.8./5

Tacos anyone...a plethora of delicious tasting, authentic flavors, seasoning, prepared to perfection at another Taco restaurant or eatery.

We were just looking for some tacos and stumbled upon this place and we're so glad we did! We're from the west coast and they surpassed any expectations we had. With the tortillas all fresh and made by hand, the grilled to perfection carne, and toppings of guacamole, salsa, cilantro, and onion all blended together so well. If you're in the area definitely put it on your agenda! There was a line but it goes quick and the food is worth the wait! It is a casual, standing only dining area but the whole concept makes sense. For a quick in-and-out taco "stand" but in restaurant form! If I'm ever back on East Coast I will be making another trip here!

He was amazingly empathetic and compassionate. I think everybody should try to be like Juan. He is a perfect example of a kind person. This place is amazing.

The kilo of pig mixed up is the way to go, make a bunch of tacos, why not? Bring friends, each grab a Pacifico! Get a couple gorditas too, you won't regret it, they taste of heaven.

Drink some consomme, it's a dream, it's so flavorful, it's what you want to eat every day, you just can't make it at home because it's too hard! The chef here used to be at St. Anselm, he's a meat king. I'm glad to see him working on like real meat, even better than the steaks there!

Their pork belly tacos are fantastic, their tacos with the combination of everything (I forget what they're called) are great. I also love how they let you choose what you put on top of them because they truly don't need much to be amazing and you can limit toppings you don't like. For the side, get their crispy chicharrones with guacamole. I do wish there were more chicharrones relative to the guacamole, but you can always take the guacamole home, and it is extremely fresh, so you don't want to waste it. staff are very friendly, the service is very quick, and it's a good vibe throughout the restaurant. Overall: 4.8/5

Got the pastor which is the top seller for a reason. Fav on the menu. Also got the suadero which was OK. Average. Salsa and sauce bar on the side. Flavorful. Fresh. Small tacos. There is a bathroom. Some seats and standing area in the restaurant but generally small.

Everyone we interacted with was friendly and fast/efficient. We ordered several carne asada tacos and quesadillas in addition to chips/guac. As always, everything was delicious - there's a reason they're so popular and considered one of if not the best tacos here. Similar type of location and layout as their other spots on the city. It's quick, loud, small, but efficient- quite fitting of NY. Always a good time and good food.

While we were waiting,…read moreyou could hear both locals and visitors talking about how amazing this place is, which only made me more excited to try it for myself. The hype was absolutely worth it. The adobada tacos were hands down the best tacos I've ever had. The homemade corn tortillas were fresh and flavorful, and the adobada was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with flavor. I also tried the carne asada tacos, which were good but definitely overshadowed by the adobada. Each taco came topped with onions, cilantro, guacamole, and salsa. Just a heads-up--the salsa packs some serious heat! Overall, this place completely lived up to the hype. If you're in the area and don't mind waiting in line, it's absolutely worth it.

Been on my list for a hot second and finally got a chance to come out…read more Indoor seating is narrow but air conditioned which is a huge plus for hot summer days. Plenty of outdoor seating. Shop is small so don't walk too quick. You'll miss it. Menu is small but tried and true. Workers speak Spanish and English. Very laid back spot. Great for a quick bite and lunch. All tacos hit. But, the carnitas was, by far, the most flavorful. You get slight mix of variety in texture. Meat on all cuts is very tender. A bit on the salty end and the avocado sauce lacked some of creaminess that I expected. But still very good tacos. Come try it out. If you don't eat pork or meat, you're missing out. But do not fret, they have vegetarian options!

This place keeps it simple and does tacos quite well. Here's a breakdown of what I ordered: chicken taco: made with chicken thigh, pineapple marinade, and avocado salsa, this all came together nicely, had a generous amount of protein that felt high quality and seasoned well. shrimp taco: often shrimp tacos come with piddly little shrimp, but they use sizeable, high quality wild caught shrimp and it shows in the flavor. The salsa macha chili oil is fragrant and gives the taco a little kick. zucchini taco: grilled zucchini just screams summer and something magical happens when zucchini is paired with oaxacan cheese. The poblano peppers also complimented this taco well. tuna tostada: perhaps the platonic ideal of a tuna tostada, with salsa macha and a healthy portion of tuna I appreciate the fast casual format and the fact that it wasn't too crowded on the Wednesday evening I visited. We made subsequent orders and our food came out very quickly. They're running an efficient operation!

This special taco , pastrami with habanero avocado salsa, half sour pickles escabeche should be a regular on their menu ($8.95 plus tax = $9.25). Quality ingredients, huge flavors, can't wait to try other items. Not 100% sure, but portion size seemed similar to Los Tacos No. 1, Tacombi, Taqueria El Prieto etc.

Stumbled upon this newer location after running errands in the area & very happy to see that…read morethey're expanding and the quality here has stayed the same. Recognized some of the staff from the NoHo location. Got the Pork Adobada Taco $5. Adobada is pork shoulder red adobo sauce made from dried chiles, garlic, and vinegar. Served with pineapple similar to al pastor but this is spicy. I realized that I can ask for Zero spice & it was amazing. (you can always add extra heat from the side counter of salsa & radishes). The corn tortilla was so fresh & slightly puffy. It's a generous portion. Might try the steak sometime, didn't like the dark meat chicken at another location. The cactus looks interesting. From the outside, the elevated restaurant and all white interior looks weirdly intimidating, being on "Park Ave." but it's also around the block from a Barnes & Noble, so a good local addition to the neighborhood. Standing counter tops only for these Tijuana-style Standing Tacos.

It was still fairly busy inside, but it was mostly people grabbing to-go orders. After ordering I snagged a spot at the counter. There's extremely limited seating, so I wouldn't bank on eating at the restaurant when it's busy. Be prepared to take your food to go. I got the Nene's Deluxe, which comes with a taco, a mulita, and an empanada - all with Birria of course. It was all delicious. The mulita was at the bottom of the box and got completely soaked with Birria. It was extremely messy to eat. Get plenty of napkins. I also got a side of fries and nacho cheese, because it was a long week and I deserved it. They had a seasonal strawberry horchata as well. This was okay. I also think I might just not love horchata in general. This meal definitely hit the spot. The Birria and consommé were top notch. I would return in a heartbeat.

I tried their Birria deluxe set that comes with a Birria taco, Birria empanada, Birria Mulita, and…read moreconsome for $16. That's a great deal! The Birria taco was good! The empanada was not like the usual closed off empanada, it was like open like a taco but instead of a taco shell, it was like the empanada dough. I didn't try the mulita yet but it was huge. Filling between two tortillas and I saw some guac filling as well. The consome was good! Not too salty - and has general pieces of meat inside the soup. The tacos were good but I felt like it lacked a little depth. I added some of the mango(?) it was a sweetish salsa and that gave it a nice little kick.
