This is the best fast food I've ever had. I was trying to order the pork taco and my daughter kept telling me to get the chicken and I'm really glad that I did. It has a star on it so delicious. My husband got a pork taco and it's a little bit grease so I'm really bad together. Well, I actually seem a little bit sweet not only so maybe some people also had my car started already bought a flavor but believe me the chicken gives all the flavor you need so clean next time I will order with no onions because the onions are raw read more

I'd swung by other locations before but never this one - it's clean, bright, and spacious, with a lot of standing area to enjoy the tacos. Had to grab the adobada tacos which are my fave - so flavourful, juicy, and the edges were even a bit crispy. Will definitely be back! read more

I never would've guessed a Los Tacos without a line outside during dinner time, but I love experiencing new things. This location felt like there were less giant groups as it so often is at Times Square, which meant it was really easy to find a place to stand and eat. As often as I've visited a Los Tacos, it was my first time trying the especial (fried quesadilla) with steak. It is so perfectly crisp "with everything" (cilantro, onion, salsa and guacamole) and you can add more salsas at their bar. The one quesadilla felt like a good portion, but if you're very hungry, it might be safe to get a taco with it, or side of chips. But if you do want dessert, go to the Levain next door! read more

The tacos here were delicious!! A bit on the pricey side but worth it!! Quick service, place was pretty busy but the line moves, plenty of high tables to eat inside!! Love the all you can take limes, sauces, tomatoes/onions toppings. Atmosphere was nice as well!! I'll be back for more yumminess!!! read more

I need to extend my review and talk about the extreme quality of the breakfast burrito. Open form 8-11 in-front of the brick and mortar the 4 options of pre-made burritos for $7 a pop are awesome. Same great tortilla with eggs and a tasty salsa. The chorizo is a must and the service is so friendly and quick. read more

What a great experience. Line was super quick, staff friendly and restaurant was clean. Especially for NYC Greta pricing on the tacos! Favorite was the pork then chicken then steak. Pro tip if you are going to wait at line at kith at least wait with some good tacos in hand packed with flavor get it all the way and don't forget that lime and an iced cool Bev! read more

Wait was only a few people and we ordered within 5 min. Service was friendly and efficient. We got the pollo asado, carne asada, and adobado. They were all so good and just the right amount of pineapple. We found a space inside to eat comfortably. Yum! read more

I loooveeed the Smokey flavor that the carne asada has and their adobada has a kick to it! I really enjoy pico de gallo so when I saw that they had it at their salsa bar, I was so happy! I will say it's pretty expensive (shocking to say because I was used to tacos el gordo price) so I wouldn't come here too often but it's a good eat once in a while. The place was kept really clean and the workers seemed attentive. read more

Los Tacos No.1 - Adobada - Tacos Near Me - New York, New York

Ok! I see why this place is talked about. Customer service was good, because it being my first time visiting, I was a bit confused about the pickup process.The staff was really nice and helpful and told me where I needed to go to pick up my food. Don't expect to sit down anywhere because they only have table tops for standing only. In knowing this I decided to still get my order to stay in. I ordered a pork and chicken taco, one flour tortilla and one corn. You get to pick out your own fresh limes, some sauces and fresh toppings. Everything was really freshly made. My favorite was my chicken taco, it was so good and juicy, just packed with flavor. I found the pork one to be well seasoned but the meat was dry. Adding the fresh toppings helped me to forget how dry the meat was, along with the fact that it was seasoned to perfection. I would definitely do a revisit if I'm near any of their locations and honestly speaking, they are not my number one tacos but are worth their hype. A thumb up and Happy Yelping! read more

We were thinking of trying Los Tacos No. 1 since they're famous for having one of the best tacos that made the top 100 list on Yelp (#5). It was only a 10-minute walk from our hotel to this location. So we made a point to come here, and we couldn't wait to be wowed by them! The line was short, so we were able to place an order quickly. No seating here. Just standing. Got our chicken and beef tacos in a matter of minutes. Sadly, our tiny tacos were underwhelming to say the least. $5 for a small taco that's about 3-4 bites big. It tasted average. Why is this spot so popular? Is Mexican food scarce in New York City?! Now, I live in an area where tacos are made well and much larger than these. So I didn't find their tacos tasting any better than what I could get at home. Unless this location isn't doing them justice, I don't understand why they're on the list. It's edible, but not incredible. And disappointing! read more

I know I will probably take a lot of heat for this review but being born and raised in California, you gotta admit that we are spoiled with damn good Mexican food. Facts are facts and cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, and many others in California have been known to make the best tacos in the United States. Some might ask why I am trying tacos in New York City? Well, me being an avid Yelper, I just had to taste what all the fuss was about. Especially when this place made it to #5 of best tacos in the COUNTRY. Hmmm, I beg to differ. Located at the corner of Lafayette St & Bleeker St., this "Los Tacos No. 1" sits in the heart of the NoHo District of New York City. This is one of the newer locations as they have been opened since early-2022. Depending when you're reading this review, that might have been recently or a very long time ago. As of late-2025, Los Tacos No. 1 currently has a total of 7 locations that are all in the Lower Manhattan area. And interestingly enough, the founders of this franchise are from Tijuana, Mexico & Brawley, CA (close to the US/Mexico border) so this place must be truly authentic and amazing. Anyhow, I came here to meet with a friend (who was also visiting NYC) during the evening of Monday 10/13/2025 at around 9:30pm. Their hours of operation are quite generous as they are open 7 days a week; Monday-Saturday from 11am-11pm and Sunday from 11am-10pm. As for the interior layout, they are quite spacious BUT there are no actual seats to sit your tush on! Furthermore, there are no tables but actual tiled countertops where you stand and eat your food. I think the reason behind this is to not have customers get too comfortable by sitting down and socializing with one another. I could be wrong but that is my guess. The ordering process here is quite unique as you tell the cashier what you want whether it is a taco, tostada, quesadilla, or mulita and if you wish to opt for corn or flour tortillas. Since it was late in the evening, I opted for one "Carne Asada" taco and one "Pollo Asado" taco. Once assembled with the protein of your choice, you then show your ticket to the guys that made your food then tell them which add-ons you'd like; in this case, it is onions, cilantro, salsa, and guacamole. After receiving your food, there is a separate condiment area where they carry radishes, limes, and other various toppings to add-on. As for the taste and I am being very critical here, did not quite meet my expectations. The seasoning in the tacos was good but not great as I've had way better at the little rinky-dink taquerias on the west coast. The guacamole was more of a creamy texture (like those Wholly Guacamole containers) while lacking the rest of the ingredients that make guacamole what it is. But IF you're from the east coast and have not tried amazing tacos, you will probably enjoy this place. On a good note, "Los Tacos No. 1" was a decent place; the food was fresh and service was quite and attentive. But just not for me. My rating, just an average three stars. read more

There's always a line. Depends either short or long, but they are so efficient. They get you moving. The food is delicious. I love the self service condiments of sauce, lime, chile pepper and radish. It's ny go to when I'm in close by. read more

I really enjoyed my experience here. Fast service, yummy food, clean and efficient. If you're looking for a leisurely sit down spot, this isn't it. If you want great food, quickly, at a fair price? This is the spot. Pro tip: The horchata is the perfect beverage to help cool down your mouth from the spicy salsa. read more

Is this is a Michelin star restaurant? No, this is better. This chain put's the food in fast food. While it's not your go to ma and pa restaurant... this is closer to a taco truck than taco bell (obviously) The prices I wish could be lower but I don't mind for the quickness/convenience to get food in my mouth within 5 mins and be out and about in another 5. I'll be back stumbling in for a bite to eat late night. read more

I'm a Houston girl so when I say this taco is gooooddd, I mean it! I got the opportunity to hit this spot up twice on my visit... and I still miss you. Don't sleep on the especial. The shell is perfectly crunchy and filled with gooey cheese in addition to your meat of choice. I also tried the pork taco which was fire. I think what sealed the deal for me was the toppings. I'm all about that sauce, and they have different sauces for each taco which also come with the appropriate veggies. There is also extra salsa and pico available self-serve. So get in that line and get you some tacos. If you were sad before, you won't be sad when you leave! Te amo! read more

Went around 12pm on Saturday and there was a short line. Ordered on the left line and handed in my ticket order for pick up on the right line. Service was quick and easy. The carne asada was highly recommended and it deserves all the hype. It was super juicy and delicious. However, I don't know how often I would come back because it's $6 for one taco, not including tax and tip. I liked the toppings bar on the right side of the restaurant. It has different salsas, dried chilis, and radishes to customize your order. read more

I would highly recommend los tacos in any of their locations when visiting New York City! We have visited both this location and the one in Chelsea market, and it will never disappoint. The tacos are fabulous, tasty and just truly a wonderful experience. The servers always have a smile, no matter how how busy they are. The Carnitas are cooked to perfection, simmered slowly and perfectly flavored. I think my favorite part of having tacos here are the fresh, made to order tortillas. Both corn and flour tortillas are fantastic, a 10/10. read more

I always see a long line outside of this taco spot and randomly decided to try it on a Saturday. Price is high in my opinion for a takeout taco ~$6 but it was delicious. I ordered the tamarind juice and steak taco. You get your drink when you pay and then use your receipt to move over to the ordering station. Waiting to give your ticket was a little chaotic, but you can tell they work hard. I confirmed that I wanted everything on my taco including guacamole. There's another station for sauces with different spice levels which I loved as a certified spicy girl. No place to sit, but standing counters so you can swallow your taco and leave. Great alternative to a fast food option. read more

Los Tacos No. 1 is the BEST for authentic Mexican tacos. I crave this place! Their tacos are on the pricey side... almost $5 for one! But so delicious it's worth it! I love that they make everything right there. Service is always quick. I personally think the flour tortillas are better-- they are chewy and so fresh. This locations puts the onions/cilantro/guac on for you... there's lots of bar tables to stand and eat. No sit down eating here. read more

Super satisfying tacos. The meat, tortilla (corn is best for sure), and toppings all complement each other really well. It was a bit spicier than I remembered. Barely a line when I got there 6:40 on a Wednesday, but after waiting for my friends, there was a moderate line at 6:50. It moves fast though and we got our tacos in 15 minutes. No seating, but plenty of standing area with high tables. Get the limes at the same place you get the tacos, but there's an area to the side with other toppings. read more

We skipped this spot the first time we drove by, but the second time turned out to be a total win. The pork tacos were unbelievable -- easily the best I've had anywhere. The chicken tacos were good as well, but the pork really stole the show. The restaurant was clean, inviting, and the staff couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. This is absolutely a place I'll be returning to many times. read more

Terrible for vegetarians. Their beans and tortillas contain lard :/ I think it's confusing because bean, cheese, and nopales seem like good options, but they aren't. In a city with as many health conscious people, vegetarians, and kosher/halal folks, would be nice to have a few more options when you drop by with friends. read more

Finding good tacos when I travel is hard, this place definitely hit the spot in all aspects. The carne asada was very well seasoned, fresh and paired well with all the toppings available. I got a tostada and two tacos, the tostada is enough for you to make two or use the top shell as a scoop for when the filling comes out of you tacos lol. The tortillas are fresh and made in front of you. The open style kitchen is fun and reminded me of Mexico. The service was great they double check everything you ordered as they make it in front of you and the salsa bar is a classic red or green option. The red one creeps up on you so be warned! But it's so good it will make you want more. read more

After years of being told forcibly to get Los Tacos, we finally stopped in and wow. We get it now. The pork was highly recommended to us and surpassed expectations, and we loved the carne asada as well. Watching them be made at the counter was such a treat - doesn't get much more fresh than that. Will be on our must-stop list on every trip from now on, probably. read more

5.0 / 5.0 The best Tacos I ever had! The staff's energy and smiles are wonderful and make you feel as if you are in Mexico! I can't wait to try it again! This store allows you to choose your own sauces and toppings. There are no chairs, but there are six tables. It's always crowded, but the turnover is fast so you don't feel like you have to wait that long! what I ordered was : ・Carne Asada Tacos ・Pollo Asado Tacos read more

One of the mostly highly rated spots (and I can totally see and taste why)!!! These tacos are the real deal. Fresh as possible and full of authentic flavor. The salsa options and accoutrements from grilled green onions to radishes and sliced limes were great additions to the piping hot tacos straight from the grill!! I had to sample all the options so I got 4 tacos, 2 with flour tortillas and 2 with corn. The flour tortillas were cooked on the grill with lard and that is clearly written for all guests to know before ordering in case that is a dealbreaker. The corn tortillas were very corn forward, ultimately, I liked the flour ones more! I tried Nopal for the first time here aka Cactus!!!! Somehow, the way it's prepared here retains a lot of smokiness that is very yummy and of course a great vegan alternative for meat. A little slimy kinda like okra but not bad. My favorite meat was the carne asada. This spot is very popular, and plenty of people stood around high tables (no chairs) to eat this fresh meal. It's also a very affordable meal option! It hits all the spots, authentic, affordable, and fresh! What's not to love?? Oh, also the horchata was awesome!!! Great match to cool down your mouth after some spicy salsa!! read more

I'd just flown in from London and I was looking for a quick and affordable bite to eat. This place came recommended via Yelp and so - with the UK not being great on Mexican "diners" - I tracked up the street for a quick meal. I really enjoyed the atmosphere. It reminded me of the taquerias in San Francisco with speedy service, delicious food and loud Mexican music. I ordered two tacos and chips & salsa and devoured it all in no time...it was delicious. It's standing room only! read more

Omg.... The best tacos I have ever had! They were so juicy and filled with flavor. And I loved how they had all the sodas in glass bottles. I was a bit confused on how they serve the food. You give them your ticket and they make the food and hand it back to you. Kudos to the staff for remembering who is who during a rush. The biggest thing I would change is that I wish they had actual seats. They only have a standing bar. The place was busy but nothing too crazy! Just a bit loud. read more

What can I say, Los Tacos No.1 never disappoints. I actually had no idea there was one in Soho, but I also don't hang out in Soho a lot anymore. There was no line when we got there around 1pm on a Sunday. We were able to find a spot to eat for our group of 4 no problem. My go-to is always a quesadilla with al pastor. So so good. So much flavor. Service was fast and very nice, as per other locations. read more
