La Capital Tacos

After a trip to New Mexico a couple years ago, I was forever spoiled when it came to Mexican food. Chipotle no longer cut it when I wanted a good taco and local Mexican places generally didn't either. Then La Capital Tacos opened a couple blocks from my apartment. I decided to give them a try today and holy bleep, it's dangerous that I live so close. La Capital Tacos is a small establishment in the former Capitaland Taxi building at 4th and Ferry in Troy. Inside, you have a counter and a couple tables. Mexican bottled soda is for sale, but a lot of people (myself included) just get takeout. 3 tacos cost $10, or you can get a deluxe version with additional toppings for a few dollars more. Regular tacos come with onion and cilantro and you have your choice of 6 meats. For my 3 tacos, I chose chicken, al pastor (marinated pork), and carne asada. 10-15 minutes after placing my order, I was walking out with fresh tacos. These tacos are legit, featuring a tortilla filled to the brim with meat and a light coating of onions and cilantro. No rice filler here. The chicken was excellent and juicy. The carne asada was good, but probably my least favorite of the 3 meats I sampled. My favorite, though, was the al pastor. Juicy pork with an excellent adobada marinate that added a nice kick was heaven on a tortilla and a taste of (New) Mexico in Troy. To heck with other places claiming to have good tacos. If you want legit tacos like you'd find on the streets of the Southwest, La Capital is your place. Sure, it's a tad expensive, but it's far cheaper than flying to New Mexico. I'll be back before I know it for another trio of al pastor tacos. read more

This is a good find. On our drive home from Vermont, I always stop in Troy, NY, and look for good food. And I always find something good! My fav chinese resto was closed! Oh mon Dieu! They were on summer vacation and wont be open til Aug 18. Why didnt i check yelp first? Oy! Anyways, my husband flipped out and he is all ready to eat chinese food and he knew he wanted kung pao chicken already. Then i said what about some tacos. Let's try La Capital around the corner... aaaand we ordered. It was so good. No disappointments here. I had the 3play with the works - calabacitas, the al pastor, and chorizo. My husband had the 3play with tacos al pastor deluxe. DE LUJO, just kidding its just called the works, means they put more veggies and some guacamole. The food came out fast. I had a nice chat with the guy at the counter. There is a very small area for indoor seating but a big picnic area with several picnic tables in the parking lot. I will be back! I like this joint! read more

Carne asada is the best. Then the veggie taco. Chicken was probably my beast favorite of the 3 but still good. The guac is probably a 3/5 because it's very runny. The ceviche is surprisingly quite good. read more

Price is right: 3 for $10 tacos (mix and match permitted) and service was efficient. Order comes with small cups of spicy (red) and mild (green) salsas (cashier asked if we wanted spicy, mild, or both) and tacos are topped with red onion and cilantro. Cashier told us our two orders of 3 tacos would be ready in 8 minutes and that was pretty spot on. On a Saturday afternoon, though, it was basically impossible to distance from other customers as we were waiting to order our food because the space is so small. That made me pretty uncomfortable as not all were masked. We took our table number to a nice outside picnic table. Unfortunately, my husband's order was mixed up a bit as he was given al pastor taco instead of a chorizo. However, it was okay with us as we got to try more variety. Between the two of us, we had chorizo, chicken, al pastor, and carnitas. Although the tacos were all fine and happily eaten, every single option was pretty bland. I love Mexican chorizo, but this variety didn't really have the crispy bits or the kick usually found. The chicken (thigh) was cooked well so it kept its moisture, but it needed more seasoning. Same with the other pork options. The salsa roja had a real kick, so give that a try if you enjoy heat. The salsa verde was bland. I wanted for some kind of garlic or distinguishing flavor to come through. I thought everything could use a pinch of salt. The lime wedges served with the tacos helped with flavor. The corn tortillas were great, though. Absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, although these were A-OK tacos; these sadly weren't my dream tacos. Sitting outside on the little back lot was enjoyable, and the meal was quick and easy. Maybe we'll give it another go in the future, as those tortillas were pretty memorable. read more

Very good tacos! We ordered takeout and each tried the three taco plate. I had the pollo asado, carne asada and al pastor. My husband had chorizo, carne and al pastor and my son had a similar combination. All were flavorful and fresh tasting. The corn tortillas held up well to the fillings. The al pastor was my favorite by far. The marinated pork was delicious and so flavorful. The biggest problem was telling them apart! It would be very helpful to label each takeout order. With all the vegetables and sauces they all looked alike! Overall, the quality is good and very affordable. I look forward to trying the fish tacos, ceviche and of course getting more al pastor next time. read more

I will drive out of my way and find any excuse to eat here. Parking is pretty easy in their lot or in the street. Love their outdoor eating area. There is a wood fence between the sidewalk and eating areas which makes it feel both secluded and part of the street vibe at the same time. They had individually heated clear tents in winter. Love their street tacos and recently tried their birria tacos - in love. The dipping sauce is so tasty, I ate it like a soup. The employees are also always friendly, which tops off an already great experience every visit. read more

Delicious tacos!! We ordered 8 tacos between us: chicken, steak, marinated pork, veggie (zucchini/summer squash), and battered shrimp. Each had its own unique and delicious flavor. They were also fully loaded in a homemade soft corn tortilla with fresh toppings including Pico de Gallo, lime, cilantro, guacamole, and cheese. We were first introduced to this place at the Troy Farmer's Market, but learned they also had a restaurant. The restaurant was very clean and offered outdoor seating. It had very minimal indoor seating, so it's definitely more of a to-go place when the weather isn't so great! Overall, we enjoyed the food and will go back!! read more

HOLY COW. I'm so happy that I found this place. We are new to the area, and my husband and I have been looking for traditional street tacos for a while now, especially today on Cinco De Mayo. We stumbled upon this place while searching Mealeo, and decided to give it a shot. I'm so glad we did. The food is SO fresh and flavorful. I ordered a 3-taco platter with chorizo, chicken, and carne asada tacos with a side of chips and salsa. I was full by the second taco, but kept eating because the food was that good. My husband ordered 3 carne asada tacos, and LOVED them. We liked the food so much, I forgot to take photos for the review! If you're in the area, definitely swing by - it's 100% worth it. read more

Swung in here during a little toddle around downtown Troy yesterday. The space is a delight: a former taxi stand that looks like a dive bar in Brooklyn that only serves house-infused soju, but instead it's a taco shop. I decided to try my first ever birria tacos, which they had on special. I can't say how they compare to other birria tacos, but I CAN say that getting an order of them was one of the better twelve bucks I've spent lately. Also, the Agua de Jamaica is delicious and not too sweet. 10/10 would cram tacos down my neck here again. read more

Ordered 3 tacos with everything on it (guacamole, cheese, lettuce, tomato and onions) which came out to $12. You are able to mix and choose the type of meat for your tacos. I chose el pastor, carnita and chorizo. The tacos were good but they lacked a little salt. They also only gave me one tortilla instead of two so when I was eating them they were falling apart in my hand. I also ordered the birria tacos which also lacked a little salt. The place was clean and the customer service was great. I would definitely give them a try if you're in the area. read more

Service was fast and friendly. If you haven't been to Galleria 7 Market it's a cute cafeteria type atmosphere with seat yourself tables and so many different food vendors to choose from.

Check The classic seitan burrito recreates the experience of a white kid taco night in the 90s - ground seitan beef, lettuce, fritos, queso. I'd had those taco nights on my mind lately and this hit the spot. The BBQ jackfruit burrito was also great - I had a few bites of my spouse's. Non-vegan spouse was 100% satisfied with burrito. Fried pickles were great and rumor has it this special will be around awhile. They're as thin as french fries and they must use some sort of sorcery to get them evenly battered and coated. These were perfect for sharing with someone who normally hate fried pickles because they're too thick and who hates mayonnaise. Burrito Burrito must have designed these just for us because these come with a red pepper crema instead of an aioli. Diagnosis: delicious.

The flavors were certainly very varied as there's many fillings for the burrito but I really struggled with how salty it was. The guac is watery whereas I prefer a traditional guac with lots of avocado.

Traveling within about 5 minutes on the way to visit a good friend, and it happened to be right around lunch time, the opportunity finally came. It's a casual place, lots of 2 and 4 top tables, but what caught my eye when we went in was the cooler full of amazing side options. Then you look up and there's a beautiful oven and a dough station. This is looking great. We sat and ordered lamb kebab and doner kebab. A couple minutes later, a large (~11x17?) wooden tray appeared with a piping hot lavash bread and a plate of dill yogurt sauce. If the meal had stopped there, I would have been a happy camper. We had just had a few pieces when the kebab arrived, each with a pepper, tomato, some red cabbage, and onion. Both meats were authentic and delicious. My favorite way to eat my doner was with a bit of the bread, a bit of the dill sauce, some onion and cabbage, and a bunch of meat - a mini gyro, if you will. We took away about 1/3 of the generous portions and ordered a large mixed plate (all 10 of the sides) and baklava to take to our friend. It's a bit of a drive for us, but any time we're anywhere close, we're going to be back for sit down (if it's mealtime) or takeaway if it's not. I highly recommend you do the same.

The place feels much more modern and inviting now. Our family especially enjoys the beyti kebab, the güveç, and their pide. I haven't tried the pizza yet, but since their pide is very good, I imagine the pizza would also be solid. For me though, the real highlight at Alibaba is the mezze. In Turkish cuisine, grilled meats and kebabs are almost always enjoyed with a variety of mezze. They might technically be sides, but they're a big part of the whole experience. These days there are several Turkish kebab places in the area, but none of them offer a wide selection of fresh, house-made mezze like Alibaba does. At many places you're lucky if you find one or two options, often just a basic ezme. At Alibaba you'll find around ten different mezze and each one tastes distinct and freshly made. Every time I tell myself I'll just take a little... and somehow I end up filling a big mezze plate. Honestly, even when we grill at home, our motivation is picking up mezze from Alibaba to go with it. I'm not sure if it gets the credit it deserves, but don't skip the mezze here -- you'd be missing out. In fact, start with the mezze and figure out the rest later :))

WHAT BROUGHT ME HERE Located in the heart of downtown Troy,…read moreEmry's Garden stood out to me as it sits on the corner of an intersection in direct view of cars passing over the bridge into the city. I decided to eat here in celebration of getting a new job in the city. THE ATMOSPHERE Arriving at 8pm on a Friday night, the whole restaurant was packed. I made reservations so we were seated immediately. There was almost no overhead lighting- instead, most of the restaurant was lit by downward-lighting lamps at each table. Each table had a jar of flowers which added nice color to the environment; it was woodsy, but not in the polished, laminated sense. It felt more natural, cabin-like, combining well with the shrubbery, paintings with big frames, natural lighting from windows, and giant mirrors. The place was small, packed, and loud with people and background music. That's my only minor complaint; it was quite loud from all the people and everything was tight together, and I think the music was good, but would be even better with some more abstract, atmospheric score. This isn't the place to watch the game; there's no TV's. But it is the place to order a fancy cocktail or a Banana Bread Old Fashioned. And there is a bar. THE SERVICE I happened to know our waitress from high school on accident and she was wonderful. We were checked up on frequently, our food arrived fast, and the conversation was enjoyable. THE FOOD I ordered the Mickey's Riggies, a Rigatoni dish in marinara sauce mixed with peppers, chicken, mushroom, and Parmesan cheese. Flawless. My friend & I also got Bavarian Pretzel sticks as our starter and man, that buffalo sauce was good. Costed $60 without tip. THE BATHROOM My design professor once said if you want to understand the personality of a restaurant, check out its bathroom. Well, that didn't really apply to this place. The men's bathroom was a little jank, unlike the great atmosphere of the restaurant itself. It wasn't disgusting, just a little jank. BONUS: THE SPEAKEASY Yes, there's a speakeasy, but you're not going to learn about it on this Yelp review. You should visit it yourself if you get the chance. Dress up.
