It's a great snack to walk and nibble on on the go. The dining area in the shop is always clean and well stocked with chili oil and napkins. I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes to be in and out of the store. Only wished that it opened a bit later!

Wow what a value. I guess I forgot to take a picture of my extra protein order of chicken. That was…read morethe best item!!! They are famous for the lamb which I had at a different location but the chicken was awesome!! They don't have a lot of vegan options but the ones they do have were very good! Wish they had a hand pulled vegan safe/no pork contamination option. Love the inside set up for take out or dine in. Staff was very helpful & honest about what we could eat with our dietary restrictions, even considerate about pricing. Service was very fast. But I must say when it comes to food in the city this place has awesome pricing with decent portions! Food was flavorful but next time I'm going to try extra spicy. Even the drinks are really well priced and the hibiscus tea is AMAZING!! Wish I had gotten 2. What a gem in the middle of an area that tends to be very pricy, this business clearly has honest prices! Much appreciated! Also if you use the inKind app they are on it.

Tried the double patty smashed burger, and it was everything you expect from a really good burger joint - greasy and delicious.

Went to Tacombi Upper West Side with a friend for a quick bite on a Saturday late afternoon/early…read moredinner. The space is quite large, with plenty of seating inside and on the sidewalk. We were seated quickly, and the service was attentive. I ordered the agua de sandía (watermelon juice) and the Baja crispy fish taco, while my friend got two tacos. The watermelon juice was refreshing, and fresh, without added sugar. The tacos were flavorful and enjoyable, and I appreciate that they are served on corn tortillas. We were also given complimentary chips and salsa. I've visited several Tacombi locations across NYC, and they are consistently reliable in both quality and experience. The prices are also very reasonable for the quality of food. I would definitely recommend this location, as well as any of their others.

The last time I had Tacombi I went to the UES location and really enjoyed it. The experience here…read moreis not the same. We dined here for Taco Tuesday. Around 6pm all tables were taken; lots of families dining! We were told 15-25 minutes for a table but I'm not even sure we waited 5 minutes. We definitely waited longer for someone to take our order, which wound up being the hostess. Based on the service we received (barely any throughout our entire meal), it seems this location would be better suited for ordering at a counter, seating yourself and having your number called when food is ready (or brought to you). The taco Tuesday special is BOGO with cheaper tacos taken off bill. I had the Al pastor, crispy fish and barbacoa, which was a special collaboration (and the most expensive at $7.99). They have a good kid's menu. Much improved from when I was here years ago and the food was too spicy for kids. I ordered a michelada; it's $3 more than the price of the beer you choose. I was a little suspicious of what it might taste like when brought to the table. Whatever they use to make the michelada was brown. It wound up tasting pretty good.

Solid location near American Museum of Natural History and Central Park West…read more I enjoy the crispy chicken burgers, nuggets, cheese fries, black and white malt milkshake and arnold palmer drink. Ample seating on the ground floor and basement. Kiosks available if the line if long for cash register. At peak times may take 20-30 minutes to get your order.

So I decided to try their new Korean burger.. nothing Korean about it.. the sauce I had to triple check if it was just forgotten or deep somewhere it existed.. the meat was truly well done, dry, not juicy.. for $13 this was like a snack.. the only plus was the woman who gave me my to order who actually smiled and told me to have a great night... in nyc this is rare

Long ago, when I was a fresh-faced ad agency intern, I spent a summer in a dorm room at NYU. With…read moreno interest in cooking, I remember becoming a semi-regular at the Gray's Papaya located at 6th Ave and 8th St and always ordering the Recession Special: two dogs loaded with onions and a papaya drink. It wasn't the best quality frankfurter, but somehow it worked with my indiscriminate palette. Flash forward a century or so, and this is the only Gray's Papaya left in the city. Since I'm a survivor, I thought it only appropriate to take Jamie to the original flagship location and order what else but the Recession Special. Sure enough, they still offer it for $7.50. It was $1.95 when I was a child, but it's still a good deal consisting of 2 Hot Dogs (Photo 10) and a Medium Papaya Drink (Photo 9). The franks were the same as I recall, nothing special but if you add onions and pay an extra 75 cents for the chili, it just works. The papaya drink is not a fruit juice but a puree mixed with sugar and milk. It actually complements the dog in a guilty pleasure kind of way. There was a line but it moved fast. Plenty of room at the red mini-counter, so I was able to relive my youthful dining dalliance with little effort. FOOD / DRINK - 4 stars...forgive me for I have sinned AMBIANCE - 3 stars...looks the same as it did in the last century SERVICE - 4 stars...they're quick and not rude...decide what you want before you order TOTAL - 4 stars...hope it survives RELATED - Hungry in NYC?

I recently realized that there are so many Daily Provisions located around the city. Who would've…read morethought?! I honestly didn't know until recently. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's definitely a convenient spot no matter the time of day. The menu has a little bit of everything such as pastries, coffee, tea, sandwiches, salads, soups and even gluten free options. They also serve beer and wine, which I wasn't expecting. This location has both indoor and outdoor seating, which is nice. The setup is mostly DIY since you throw away your own garbage and etc. But they do bring your food and drinks out to you. They also have a restroom for customers and a self serve tap water station with glasses, which I appreciated. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich. It was alright, but I do think it could've used a little more flavor or seasoning.

I was most impressed that it's no hassle to request turkey (instead of beef) for your burger. And even more impressed that there's one that comes with taleggio cheese. It has a tangy, nutty flavor that I did not expect. I'm always up for a culinary adventure, and my palate thanked me! Everything I had was delicious! The onion rings, the teriyaki wings, and ultimate treat of the evening - my "adult" milkshake. It was cookies and cream with some extra yummyness that I do not remember specifically lol All in all, good food. The service was good as well.
