If you're at the Chelsea Market and see a long line, you're probably looking at this location. After waiting in that line myself and trying the tacos, I would recommend anyone to do the same! My group got Adobada Tacos and the seasoning on the pork was chef's kiss. Everything on top makes it even better. I definitely would get these more often if the line wasn't long, but when you are in the area it is worth a stop. Seating is absolutely nuts here. We had to bring our food down to the bottom stairs in order to get seating, but better find a place to enjoy these right away for the full experience! read more

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

Had to try Los Tacos No. 1 while in NYC since everyone talks about this place. I got the adobada/pastor taco and it was definitely good! The meat had a lot of flavor, everything tasted fresh and I liked that you can watch them make the tacos right in front of you. The line moved pretty fast too, so it was an easy stop for a quick bite. I will say though, being from California I'm a little spoiled when it comes to tacos lol. It was good, but nothing beats an LA taco for me which is why I have to give it a 4 stars. Still worth trying if you're in NYC and craving tacos, but LA definitely has my heart on this one. read more

These are hands done the best Tacos I've ever had! Open kitchen and an incredibly busy rush, they are not only super-fresh but extremely consistent. The place is simply decorated with a white tile motif, ensuring an immaculately clean restaurant. These Tacos are so complex in flavor and presentation that words can not describe how great they are. You definitely need to go here! Highly recommend read more

This used to be my go to place for tacos in NY years ago but the quality has gone down. Maybe I caught them on off day but I ordered the adobado tacos and they were so salty I couldn't eat them. Luckily I swapped one for my parents carne asada taco and managed to balance it out. In spite of the overall salty meat, service at this location is amazing which is a plus. Rating: 3.8./5 read more

Los Tacos No. 1 - Adobado (Marinated Pork) - Tacos Near Me - New York, New York

You only go to restaurants with seats? OK then, Thurston Howell, enjoy the Harvard Club. Los Tacos wins no atmosphere awards, even from a lowbrow type like me, but the brevity of the menu is matched by its excellence. I enjoyed the nopal plate and adobada taco last night. The salsa bar is full of incendiary delights. read more

Stopped by here on a Wednesday afternoon because we were seriously craving some tacos. There was a pretty long line when we arrived, but don't let that scare you off--it moved incredibly fast thanks to their efficient order/pickup system. We got 3 tacos and 1 quesadilla to share between the two of us. To be honest, for the price point, I expected the portions to be a bit bigger (especially the quesadilla, which was on the smaller side). That being said, the flavor was definitely there--every bite was good. We also grabbed a horchata, which hit the spot and was super refreshing on a hot day. Would I come back? Maybe. If I'm in the area and craving a quick bite, I'd give it another go, but I might order an extra taco next time to leave fully satisfied. read more

Being from the bay area and living in cali my whole life I am no stranger to tacos. But man these tacos were banger. I loved the fact you could choose flour or corn and though the menu is pretty simple they steer you down the right path. The flavors of the meat are for sure there and in my opinion this place lives up to the hype. read more

The service here is incredible!! They work so quickly and get long lines moving quick. The ambiance is standing areas to eat your tacos with self service salsa. Let's get to the food. The tacos are great considering the NYC taco scene is fairly mid. The o my issue I have is with the price!! Each taco is around $5 which is crazy coming from the $1 tacos in LA. read more

Tried the California breakfast burrito - at $7, it's not bad but not great. They have a stand out front for you to grab and go so it's a quick stop and easy to eat on the go. The burrito was pretty small, the egg and cheese was good, but the meat was a little hard and stale like. The salsa carried. read more

The best tacos. The same way you can get a slice of pizza anywhere in NY, you can't do the same for tacos unless you're in LA but this place gets it right!! Simple, fresh, delicious tacos! Quick service and easy to find a spot to eat indoors. It is face paced and only standing room with counter tops to it at. LOVE their tacos! We ordered chicken and steak tacos! read more

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

The menu is simple- tacos and tostadas and a few more items. We had carne asada tacos and a pork taco. We had a Jamaica fresh water drink, and it was delicious. The tacos were made fresh and right in front of the you. You have to hand the guy your receipt so he can make the food. The line was pretty long and you can eat there on one of the tables, but there are no chairs . This place is a must try when in NYC! read more

Simple, and yet delicious tacos. Salsa was a little too hot for this Gringo, but the tacos were absolutely delicious.

I've heard all the hype about Los Tacos, so I had to check it out. The place was a beehive with patrons everywhere. The workers meanwhile were working fast & hard. I ordered the Pollo Asado taco with everything. You can choose corn or flour tortillas. I picked corn. The flavor is worthy of 5 stars, so the hype is real. The chicken was so flavorful. It came with onions, cilantro, & guacamole. The combination of flavors was perfect. And the chicken truly was excellent. My only complaint is the size. The taco is about $6, but I ate it in 3 or 4 bites. It was very small. However, seeing the crowd in there, apparently the taco size is not an issue. As I said, the taste was quite excellent. read more

It's hyped, but it exceeds its reputation. The menu is simple and they are efficient at cranking out tacos. We had one of every type and the pork is the winner. It's full of flavor and so good. Don't order one, you'll want more after your first one. There's also a salsa bar in the back with equally good flavors. read more

Los Tacos is worth the hype! There are two stations when you enter. First you place your order and pay, then you hand over your receipt for the cooks. You can choose between corn or flour tortillas, and toppings such as guac and onions. The whole experience is pretty fast paced. The tacos themselves are delicious and very flavorful. There are free complimentary sauces with 2 different spice levels, pico de gallo, dried peppers and radish on the side table to take to go or for dine in. It is a standing only restaurant, perfect for a quick bite or on the go. read more

We were surprised by how much we enjoyed these tacos. We ordered asada, adobo, and quesadillas. Be ready for a fast-paced ordering system. If you get to see how busy this place is, you will understand why they run it the way they do. You order at the counter and take your receipt to the staff making the tacos. Every person gets their own receipt with their order. The adobo meat was the best! I highly recommend these over the asada ones. You have two different tortilla options, maiz (corn) or harina (flour). Both are the same standard tortilla size. Ambiance was lively, busy, and packed. There are no chairs, only standing tables. The establishment is small, so it's a bit cluttered. Keep that in mind, it's not the place you sit and eat. You order, grab your food, lucky If you find a table and eat! Although it's very busy, I noticed that the staff was on top of it and always cleaning up the salsa station. The manager was very friendly and was checking in on everyone, which speaks a lot about their customer service. I know that when I return to New York, I will return for some adobo tacos. There are multiple locations, which is super convenient! read more

Best tacos i've ever had. Reminds me of home. We were unsure of what to get and the manager (fransisco) noticed and gave us a sampler platter of all their proteins + cactus. This gesture made us feel even more welcomed and i'm so glad we gave it a shot. On a rainy day this was perfect. No wait time even if busy. No seats but plenty of tables. read more

Los Tacos No. 1 - Carne asada tacos - Tacos Near Me - New York, New York

Los Tacos No. 1 in Tribeca is one of those places where as soon as you walk in, the energy hits you--fun, festive, colorful, and always buzzing. There aren't any seats, but that's part of the charm. This is food meant to be eaten hot, fast, and happily, right at one of the many counters. The tacos themselves are excellent across the board. The made-from-scratch corn tortillas make a big difference, and every protein shines. The Adobada (marinated pork) is my personal favorite--tender, juicy, and packed with flavor from the vertical spit. The pollo asado is equally delicious, and even the grilled cactus (nopal) is a solid vegetarian choice if you're looking for something different. Not to be overlooked, the quesadillas--they're essentially oversized, cheese-forward versions of the tacos, griddled to perfection with that incredible handmade tortilla. Add your favorite meat and a dash of salsa, and it becomes an indulgent, melty treat worth every bite. I'm also a big fan of the Condiments Station. It's a self-serve treasure trove: fresh pico de gallo, lime wedges, crunchy radishes, marinated veggies, dried chiles, and their two fantastic house-made salsas--one red and spicy, one green and mild. It's all the customization you want without overthinking it. They also have a great selection of soft drinks, including aguas frescas and Mexican sodas. Service is exactly what you want in a spot like this--efficient, friendly, and fast. Even when the line looks long, it moves quickly, and the team keeps everything flowing smoothly. Prices are reasonable for Manhattan, though the tacos lean a bit on the smaller side, so plan to order a few. Fast, delicious, affordable, and consistently great--Los Tacos No. 1 is an easy go-to whenever I'm craving something quick and amazing. read more

Service was fast even though the place was super packed. Food fresh. Salsa's were good. Meat was good. Tacos were packed with meat which I enjoyed!! I would only suggest it being a little more seasoned or with salt. Which could be fixed if they had salt shakers around. I didn't see any around but not a big deal to me. they did have more salsas/toopings to the side. read more

Delicious taco that was tender and had the perfect amount of flavor. Their sauces were also spicy which I love. They cook it right in front of you and it can get a bit hectic standing at the front telling them what you want on your taco, but I think it's worth trying at least once. I think it is on the pricey side but I haven't had the chance to try tacos anywhere else in New York, and this spot is pretty conveniently near the main tourist spot. If you're really craving a good taco and don't want to go taking a risk elsewhere, then this is the right choice. read more

The food was made to order, reasonably priced and delicious! It was one of the best meals we had in NYC despite not being fancy at all.

Pretty good tacos. I'd definitely recommend but price is a little up there but you get your money's worth.

Overall: I went to this taco spot for lunch during the week. It's always got a line out the door but it moves fast. Tacos are awesome, I think they're the best in the city. I especially like the adobada! Food: 5 Service: 4 Value: 3 Atmosphere: 3 Food: I got the adobada and chicken tacos. Tortillas are made fresh and each taco is prepared to order. They're always served hot and each is stuffed to the brim. I recommend getting all the toppings and then adding the additional salsas they have. Awesome tacos. Service: Everything is counter service here. You order, they give you a ticket, then you present that to a taquero for them to make your order. It's very chaotic and I'm always amazed I actually get the correct order, but it seems to work. Value: Each of the tacos is in the $5-6 range. They're relatively large and they're delicious, but it's more than I would like for a taco. Atmosphere: Always bustling with energy. The workers are constantly shouting to each other and it's chaotic in a fun way. There's no seating, just some bars to stand at and eat. It's not glorious, but the star is the taco. read more

Ok. I needed a legitimate taco fix with authentic tasting tacos. I spent 13 years in LA eating some of the best tacos I've ever had but recently relocated back home. I stumbled upon this place one day wandering lower Manhattan while waiting on my ferry back home. The line moves fast, the workers are amazing, and the food is delicious. I recommend the 3 main tacos with a jamaica drink with a side of roasted vegetables. It's filled with people chowing down on tacos with genuine joy on their faces while they enjoy their meal. This is my new taco spot in New York City and I will defend this place against anyone that says there's no good Mexican food here. read more

These are hands-down the best tacos I've ever had! I stopped by Los Tacos on my way back to my hotel and there was a line almost out the door. The service was fast and efficient, and the cooks were positive and awesome, making the fast-paced atmosphere enjoyable. I had two carne asada tacos, and they were incredibly flavorful and juicy, topped with guacamole and onions. You have the option between a corn or flour tortilla. I also tried their Horchata, which was refreshing. You can see them cutting the meat right in front of you at the counter, which adds to the experience. There are standing tables inside if you want to eat on-site but there are no sitting tables available. I'm from California, and these are the best tacos I've ever had. I've already raved to all my friends and family about this place. If you want a savory, flavorful taco, Los Tacos will not disappoint. I'll always make it a stop whenever I visit New York City from here on out. read more

Worth the visit! Delicious and reasonably priced- get in line and once inside, you can figure out your order using the giant menu on the wall. I got a taco on a flour tortilla with all the toppings, and chips and guacamole, and it was more than enough food! I'd you get the extras on the side, you almost don't need to get a separate side of guacamole. It was a bit difficult to communicate with the person I was assigned to, but we figured it out well enough. Lived up to the hype and a cheap delicious meal to get you through the day! read more

The best tacos! We were skeptical because of it being right off Times Square but they were the perfect quick lunch. I love a salsa bar! We loaded up- next time I would get guac and chips and have some salsa with that too. They are so busy that everything is made to order. Just order at the walk up cashier then hand your ticket to the line cooks and they'll have your meal out in minutes. Pretty straight forward yet also customizable.
