Fresh tortillas, simple ingredients, and bold Mexican flavors are what make Los Tacos No. 1 one of…read morethe most popular food spots inside Chelsea Market. Founded by friends from Mexico and California, the restaurant focuses on authentic street-style tacos made with hand-pressed tortillas, quality meats, and traditional toppings. The setup is casual and fast-paced, and it's common to see a lineup, especially during lunch and dinner hours, but the line usually moves quickly. The menu is focused on a handful of tacos, quesadillas, and aguas frescas, with favorites like adobada, carne asada, pollo asado, and nopales. The open kitchen lets you watch tortillas being made fresh and meats being prepared right in front of you.

The Good: Still like what it used to taste like from what I can remember. Hits the spot every time!…read more The Bad: Adel's is a fierce competitor a few blocks down with a long line. BUT, imho Adel's doesn't really taste as good as the original Halal Guys in terms of flavor and fragrance. The chicken from Adel's is in bigger chunks and some argue is more tender, but the flavor is definitely not close. Also, it's important that it comes with lettuce, tomatoes and a little onion to balance everything out. Finally, You must get both the spicy red and white sauce together to make it all come together! The Ugly: The smell is addictive, so if you walk by, it's hard to resist, even if you've just eaten a nice meal somewhere else. We couldn't resist. Gotta hit the gym hard for the next few days!

The guys working the cart are genuinely some of the friendliest people you'll meet in midtown…read more Always smiling, always patient, even when the line is wrapped around the block. And that line is no joke. You will wait. Plan accordingly. Here's my dilemma: every single time I eat here, my stomach lets me know about it later. Without fail. I've tried adjusting the hot sauce, going easy on portions... doesn't matter. Something about this food and my digestive system just don't agree. At this point I have to accept that it's probably not for me. So why do I keep coming back? Because at 2 AM after a late night, when everything else is closed and you're starving in Times Square, that platter of chicken and rice over white sauce smells like salvation. They're the only game in town at that hour, and honestly, in the moment, it hits. It's the next morning I regret it. If your stomach handles it better than mine, you'll probably love it. The food is tasty and the portions are huge for the price. I just wish I could enjoy it without paying for it twice.

In a city filled with great Halal carts, Mido's stands above them all! I stumbled upon this cart…read moreone day just looking for a quick bite, and I found myself having the best Halal cart experience in the city. First of all, just talking about the food. It is amazing! I got the combo platter over rice, with both of the meat options. Lamb and chicken were extremely tender, juicy, and flavorful. When paired with their deliciously creamy white sauce and fluffy rice, it was the perfect bite. I can confidently say this is among the best Halal food I've had in the city. The best part, though, is given how good it is, the line is very manageable. There was essentially no line when we arrived. We were greeted by super friendly staff, which just led to an amazing Halal experience I could not recommend enough!

Excellent flavors, the lamb meat was good and tender, the chicken was breast meat so naturally not as tender. The fries were fresh and a nice touch to add to the flavors. The menu was just the pictures on the truck, which wasn't clear. I looked on Yelp to see other ppls pic of the menu sign - no price tho.
