    Another popup truck I spotted on 23rd street and Park Avenue S. I thought this was going to be another korean taco truck but this in fact was a japanese-mexican taco truck. They have the usual 3 tacos for $8. Their MENU is a little different from the norm. KARE BEEF- This one was my FAVORITE out of the 3 I tried. (shredded curry beef, cucumber pineapple salsa, quesa fresco, creama) loved the curry taste with the salsa. I was a little disappointed that I didn't really taste the pineapple in the salsa. Maybe the curry flavor masked it? but this is a definite MUST TRY. FISH TEMPURA - ehh okay. I really like fish but this was nothing special. This was just fried fish and white sauce. Tasted like fried fish. the sauce was not good enough but it was a mouthful for a tiny taco. CARNITAS - ehh soso. I did not like that they had a big piece of pepperjack cheese stuck on the bottom. It would have been better if they had shredded it or melted the cheese. *Note: Their tacos are only one layer so it can be easily torned while eating it but I did not experience any difficulty eating it. They also offer sides as well, next time when I come by I'd like to try their yakisoba and see if it's comparable to the ones made it st.marks. Service: The guy taking the order was very nice and friendly just as they are speedy with my order.

    Walking by midtown for a place to eat, I happen to spot the Domo Taco food truck and decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did because I tried the steak tacos and they were delicious. I'll definitely keep an eye out for this food truck and try something else next time.

    My Domo Taco experience came from the Bryant Park Christmas Village. I enjoy fusion food quite a bit and the California style Korean-Mex seemed promising. The menu is essentially a set of proteins and different ways of eating them, i.e. taco, burrito, burrito bowl, etc. There are actually vegetarian "protein" options which is really nice. I got a food reasonably quickly after ordering as well. I ordered the Kimchi Falafel burrito bowl which had rice, black beans, kimchi and a slightly spicier Falafel plus cheese and salsas (you can get more than one!). While the kimchi element was yummy I found the actual Falafel to be a bit dry and the rice and beans that made up most of the meal super bland. While I think this place is promising conceptually, especially in filling a void in NYC cuisine, I think the non-protein parts of the food need a little work to pull everything together.

    I have became such a huge tacos fan since coming to the US. Domo taco does Japanese fusion taco and they are having a temporary setup near penn station. Unfortunately, the fusion just not working, It ended up tasting more like a Chinese in a wrap with spicy mayo and veggies that dont work well with the fillings.

    I love Domo Taco from midtown. So I was very pleased to see that the truck was at Battery Park City today. Shady spot and a line but it moved fast. I rushed back to my office to eat and they were delicious as always. I got three: shrimp tempura; falafel kimchi and pork. My only complaint is they lose heat on way back. I know I could microwave but thought it might taste bad. Anyway next time I will just eat it there.

    I really, really, really wanted to like Domo Taco, so I'm disappointed that the food was so disappointing. The combination of Asian flavors on a taco sounded awesome, so when I saw the Domo Truck, I had to get some tacos. I got the three taco combo ($8) with the fish tempura, char siu carnitas, and teriyaki steak. The fish tempura, billed as beer battered fish with miso slaw and pico de gallo, was lost in a sea of raw vegetables. I couldn't taste any miso in the slaw, and the combination of slaw and pico de gallo overwhelmed the underseasoned fish. The char siu carnitas were a little better, but still had the same problem of being overwhelmed by the pico. I like big, meaty pork flavor when I order carnitas, but these didn't deliver. Worse, I couldn't even tell they were supposed to be char siu pork, which is one of my great loves. The teriyaki steak tacos were covered with a cucumber and pineapple salsa. I noticed a lot of pineapple on the taco, which made eating the taco sweet. The teriyaki steak just by itself was on the sweeter side, so instead of an awesome combo of savory steak and sweet pineapple cucumber salsa, I got sweet salsa and slightly less sweet meat. The staff was nice and polite. Again, I really want to like Domo Taco, but I don't think I can bring myself to shell out money to try them again.

    Very meh tacos. Smells a lot better than it tastes. I think it's supposed to be Asian tacos, but it was really hard to tell with how it tasted. I had the kare beef and the carnitas. The meat for both were rather tasteless, and it relied too heavily on the sauces for any flavor. The menu says that the carnitas pork is "char siu", but it didn't even taste close. The salsa on the kare beef was just weird. Pineapple didn't fit right, there was barely any cheese and I didn't taste anything resembling curry. The food was also lukewarm. If you're going to be touting your wares as Asian style or inspired, at least marinate your meats. That's seriously one of the biggest things that makes Asian food taste so good.

    taco combo - carnitas, teriyaki beef, lemongrass chicken
    Sharon L.

    Went to the Parked food truck rally at South Street Seaport on Sat and, after seeing the long lines at KorillaBBQ, decided to try the Japanese-inspired tacos from Domo Taco Truck. We had the 3 taco combo for $8-- carnitas, teriyaki beef, and lemongrass chicken. The carnitas taco was pulled char siu topped with Monterey Jack cheese and fresh pico de gallo. I detected a slight star anise flavor in the marinade and it reminded me of Chinese braised beef shin. Next up was the teriyaki beef taco-- thinly sliced ribeye steak marinated in teriyaki sauce topped with cucumber pineapple salsa and queso fresco. This was my favorite and I enjoyed the slightly sweet taste of the pineapple salsa which complemented the beef well. The lemongrass chicken taco topped with Monterey Jack cheese and pico de gallo was the biggest disappointment. I didn't taste any lemongrass and the chicken just tasted like chicken teriyaki without the teriyaki sauce. Although the tacos were on the small side, there was a generous amount of meat and not too much filler. We asked for hot sauce and this helped with the flavoring of the tacos but was not overpowering or too spicy. Domo Taco uses corn tortillas and while I would have preferred flour tortillas, the corn tortillas were not as dry and mealy as some corn tortillas I've had. While the tacos were tasty enough, I don't think the flavor was very Japanese. I probably would not try it again unless they re-vamped their offerings.

    Had the Domo Taco truck when it was near by my job on Hudson street yesterday. Within 2 minutes of ordering my food was ready. I was asked if I wanted it spicy I said yes however I did not know spicy meant with sriracha added to it. There is a difference between a spicy sauce and sriracha that is why I have given Domo Taco 4 stars instead of 5. The chicken was delicious and flavorful as we're all of the other ingredients. The star of the dish was the spicy mayo. It tied all of the flavors together I wish I would have asked for more on it. Now I know for next time. The dish was so different and so yummy. I definitely recommend

    chicken bowl ($8)
    Laura L.

    What's funny about this truck is that it's significantly taller than other food trucks -- getting your order is like receiving food from the heavens! I ordered the chicken bowl ($8), which was a decent meal. The chicken is dark meat, which I wholly appreciate; the ingredients tasted fresh and the rice was fluffy. The flavors didn't really pop spectacularly; maybe it's because they ran out of hot sauce? Cash only!

    3 tacos
    Isabel R.

    I tried the 3 tacos for $9 at the Bryant Park Christmas Village and I had no regrets! My proteins were lemongrass chicken, braised five spice pork, and the kimchi falafel. I really enjoyed the kimchi infused falafel, the fusion of the tastes and the textures was interesting (in a good way) and the kimchi added a nice kick. The chicken and the pork were also good. There was a sizable amount of protein inside of the tacos, too.

    It was the first time Domo parked around the office and I hope it becomes a regular fixture! Ordered the 3 taco combo - fish, chicken, and pork. Of the 2 types of fish offered, I chose cod (the other was tilapia). It was batter fried, but did not lose the sweetness of the fish. The chicken was a grilled lemongrass chicken and my favorite of the 3! You can taste the grill and the flavor was on point. The pork was a slow-braised five spice pork shoulder. My taco came with a huge chunk of pork shoulder. It allowed me to really taste the flavor that cooked right through and also taste how tender the meat was. Overall, definitely a fan. The only gripes that I have are that the sauces are not spicy enough and they are too liquid-y. It won't stop me from going back though.

    Taco-Quesadilla Lunch Combo
    Philippe B.

    If You Can't Fold a Taco is it Still a Taco? Food: After not seeing Domo Taco for quite some time I decided to pay them a visit while roaming the streets of Midtown looking for a new place to try out. Since the line wasn't too long I decided to visit them once more. I went with the combo chicken quesadilla and fish taco. The fish taco has a good overall flavor to it and the ingredients work well together. However, the fish was stone cold when I ate it (about 5-7 minutes after receiving it). When ordering a dish of fried fish I expected the fish to be fried as the taco is being made. I wonder how long ago the fried fish was made and/or how long it was sitting on the counter and/or in the refrigerator. The size of the taco is big enough where you lose half the contents after folding it. In my case I decided to channel my inner laziness and used a fork and knife. The tacos may be large, but the quesadillas are larger. Each triangle is stuffed to the brim with the ingredients of your choosing (cheese and chicken for me) and topped with a delicious sauce. Make sure to eat them quickly when you arrive to your destination (hopefully within 5 minutes) because they will sweat making the quesadillas at the bottom soggy. The chicken is dark meat (I'm assuming) which isn't an issue, but it doesn't look too appetizing. It isn't dry, but has no flavor to it, hence copious amounts of sauce is needed. I was happy the quesadilla was warm after the cold taco. A combo of a taco and quesadilla is enough to make ones stomach expand to sizes never imagined. If you are hungry after this meal, then congratulations you fall into the 1% of people whose stomach is bigger than their eyes. Speed & Service: Overall the service is standard. The staff is helpful to newcomers with questions about recommendations. The speed of service is above average. You will receive your food rather quickly after ordering it, unless the line is exceptionally long that day. Overall: 2.49 Stars For the price you receive a large quantity of food, with below average quality. The lines are long, but service is rather quick so the wait time isn't bad. Friendly staff. I would recommend trying it, since it's an interesting fusion, but don't go in with high expectations or any expectations for that matter.

    Cinco de Mayo landed on my radar when a bunch of us at work were looking for a place to grab some…read morelunch. We had our usual list of spots in Midtown East, but this time we wanted something a little different. We ultimately landed on Mexican, however even then there were several spots to chose from. One of my colleagues found CdM, and since we had nothing to lose we decided to check it out. In terms of physical space at CdM, there is very little; this is actually a walk-up spot hence it is solely a takeout restaurant. The menu is pretty straightforward - lots of Mexican staples with a good variety to choose from. The burrito bowl looked good so I decided to go with that - I was given choice of protein (I chose pastor) and types of beans (I chose black). The bowl was really good - all the ingredients tasted fresh and they were generous with the portion. They added sour cream to the top of the bowl and it came with a side of salsa verde which I thought was a nice touch. We also ordered some bags of tortilla chips to share - these were my favorite kind as they were semi-thick and super crunchy. Overall, I had a solid experience at Cinco de Mayo. It definitely hit the Mexican craving spot and I would have no qualms returning for another meal.

    First time here - pretty solid meal with decent pricing as well…read more I got the cinco de mayo plate which came with beef. Good lunch portion and it was also pretty tasty. Also got guacamole and chips as a side - which was on the smaller side given the price. All in all it's a good lunch option in the city!

    I had this place bookmarked for a while. Finally came for my birthday dinner. It was a rainy…read moreevening and I was hoping there'd be umbrella sleeves offered. I didn't see any but saw buckets for umbrellas. I opted not to leave it there since I didn't wanna forget or risk someone taking it. I took it upstairs with me. My friend had arrived and was seated. Apparently, they do offer sleeves because she got one. But the 3 people who were at the hostess booth failed to offer me one. The beautiful ambiance will get your attention immediately. It is a stunning space. The tableware was gorgeous as well. We waited for our last friend to arrive who was almost half an hour late before ordering (we thought she'd arrive sooner). Our server, Matias was gracious about it the whole time. What we ordered: Drinks: Passionfruit Margaritas & Mojito - we were happy with them. Tlayudas, Guacamole y Salsas - this was really good and a great option for the table to share. The homemade chips alone were excellent. Liked all the different dips. Guac could've used some cilantro and more acid/spice. Tán Ceviche - I loved this. Super fresh and great flavor. Could use a touch of acid. My entree was the Shrimp & Crab Enchiladas - This was pretty good. The sauce could've used some spice and some acid to cut through the richness. My friend ordered the Yellow Corn Soup as part of her meal and she did not like it. She said it was too sweet which I thought was strange. I tried a spoonful and I agreed with her. It needed a savory note and again, acid would've done wonders. Also, the crab was a bit fishy in this. She enjoyed her tamal though. I tried a touch of the sauce and it was delish. My other friend had the Quesabirria which she was also happy with. To sum up: Ambiance: 5/5 The space is undoubtedly gorgeous. Food: 4/5 Beautiful presentation on everything but each dish lacks an element or two to make it a home run. Staff: Wait staff 5/5. Downstairs staff (greeters/hostess) 4/5. Needs to be more on point like offering customers sleeves for umbrellas or pointing out the buckets to put them in. At some point through our entrees a group of 3 women were doing a 10-minute photo shoot by the stairway where our table was. Absolutely inappropriate behavior and a manager should've stopped it. Camera flashes all up in our faces while we're eating wasn't cool. Overall, still a great elevated Mexican cuisine option. The slight tweaks would make this a 5 star place for me. I'd return to try more things.

    What a GORGEOUS space. Whoever interior decorated this restaurant deserves their tens because it is…read morea spectacle. I had only seen daytime pics, but being there in the evening is a treat. If you are someone who is looking at an aesthetic place, this is a top contender. Unfortunately, I would say this place is better looking than the food is good. The food was fine, appetizers were all fresh but lacked any real depth in flavor. I wasn't too thrilled with the bone marrow I had either (but the tortillas come in the cutest basket). Personally, if it wasn't for the drinks and the space, I cant say this place is worth it - you're not coming here for the food. Another little complaint I have is the women's restroom on the second floor - right by the door is a floor to ceiling mirror which I understand was included to make the space seem bigger, but my friends and I agreed that it is a little misleading - I kept wanting to walk into it thinking there was more space there and not wall. I would recommend maybe putting a decal on it to clearly show its mirror.
