Honestly once of my favorites taco spots around my day job. They are always busy, but they have enough staff to handle themselves. The space is small, but turn around is fast. I always get a seat when I am there. There is a designated line to order and designated space to wait for your food. I really like how they came up with it so there isn't any confusion. They offer the best Horchata I had to date. Average taco price is $5.75 and other meals such as quesadilla or burritos $14 - $16. Portions are average. I am always extremely full with 3 tacos. They have a 3 for $15 special on Taco Tuesday and every week they have a Taco Special which is a taco of the week ($6.75). Those are always very creative and taste amazing! Today they are offering the Crunch Zucchini - with crispy and grilled zucchini, corn, salad, avocado, salsa and red onion. Mmmmmmm! A little hidden gem. Always a pleasant experience (and I have been going there for at least 3 years). I came here today after a few weeks (I usually eat there once every 1-2 months), and found out that now they are serving cocktails and Churros with chocolate and caramel dippings. read more

Updating my opinion because I recently went back for taco Tuesday and it really hit the spot. I would recommend coming here on taco Tuesday because I feel like the meats are more fresh since they have more orders. The tacos are also 3 for $15 on Tuesdays! I got the dorado and carne asada again and I was very happy with my decision. The steak was perfectly cooked this time, super juicy. As was the chicken. And I like that the taco shells were super crispy!! read more

Puya - Tacos de Puebla - Taco Dorado and Taco de Carne Asada - Tacos Near Me - New York, New York

Date of visit: April 13, 2026 This place was fairly busy so we took that as a good sign that it was good, and we were right. The tacos were very good--if a bit small for the price--and really hit the spot when we wanted just a little something to tide us over until it was time for dinner. I really enjoyed my Carne Asada taco, the sauce having a slight amount of heat without being too much for me--though I may feel differently if there were multiple tacos! Staff were friendly though they didn't prepare the food for dine in and packaged it up to go, which was an unnecessary waste of packaging. Located under the main level of 30 Rock, just down from the ice skating risk, seating can be a bit tight during peak times, but the restaurant was decorated nicely if a bit sparse. If you need a quick bite while waiting for an NBC Tour or other event at 30 Rock, this could be a great option for you. read more

We stopped by the puya tacos de Puebla cart at Rockefeller center. The worker was nice. I thought the tacos were a reasonable price. We tried all 4 of their tacos. The carne asada, pollo asado, el pastor and vegetarian. The vegetarian was my least favorite. My favorite was the carne asada. All the tacos had good flavor and if I am ever in the neighborhood again I would most likely stop by for tacos. I couldn't find the actual store front which is why I ended up at the cart. But overall they were good. The churros cookies were delicious soft and the perfect chewy bite. read more

We were wondering around the Theater district and decided to grab a bite to eat. We entered 30 Rock and found Puya. The ambiance is fine, a few tables to sit when it's not busy. We ordered the Ensalada de Elote Asado and it was fresh and flavorful. The size was good. We decided to get some chips to go along with the salad, they were good. They had an offer for the holidays of a $10 cocktails and we tried the Margarita's. My wife didn't care for hers as it had a smoky flavor. I liked it. read more

Outdoor taco place with a billion dollar view. In the Rockefeller Plaza. 3 tacos for $15 or 1 for $5.95. Tacos are delicious and big.

As a California Native, I appreciate when Mexican tacos taste authentic on the East Coast. We got one of each taco and they were delicious! We didn't get to snap a photo of the beautiful tacos! The kids loved their birria tacos! The burrito was so filling he had to take a break from eating it. The sauces were delicious. They weren't spicy like I'm sure to but still delicious. read more

The tacos here burst with flavor, they are crisp and hold together better than any others I've had elsewhere. The service is friendly and prompt. I really appreciated the counter server going the extra mile to double bag my dinner in plastic on a rainy night. I really love the atmosphere here too, there's a genuine Mexican ambience in the decor and the lively music adds extra flair. read more

Honestly these were really good tacos, loaded with meat and very flavorful. Service was good, they serve alcohol as well and had some interesting drink and food offerings for their specials. It's a cute spot for a quick bite in 30 rock! I got the Al pastor and carne asada tacos. read more

Having just arrived - and with dinner plans, we just wanted a quick bite go eat ( while heading to the Other Half for drinks). It was taco Tuesday so three tacos for 15! I got the vegetarian which was delicious with a good kick to it! The family got Al Pastor and De Birria - everyone was a fan! Great place and surprisingly great tacos for a high tourist area!! read more

In the busy halls of Rockefeller Center, especially during holiday time, there are many options for food. Some good, a lot bad and a lot of over-priced chain restaurants. When venturing out for a late lunch I always end up at Puya. Seating is never an issue and the food comes out super fast. I tend to order the same thing; "Taco Al Pastor" and "Taco de Carne Asada" The reason being is that those tacos are the first two choices at the beginning of the menu. Easy - Peasy Lime Squeezy. The portions are small, but the food is surprisingly good and very fresh; a bargain for $12.00. My only complaint is the place BLASTS the music. Whattttttt ?!?!! read more

A nice little spot inside the Rochefeller building. Pricey for me considering I'm use to 2-3$ tacos. But when in NY- spend like you're rich! lol so... for $4 each I got Al pastor tacos since they are my favorite. These were made old fashioned way- cooking in a pit- they were good. Not the BEST - but I'm from Cali and I know what good ol Mexican food should taste like. Clean, nice little spot. I guess perfect for the area it's located - I'm sure with their quick service and minimal tables they have people in and out. It's nothing I couldn't have lived without. read more

Mexican food is like a religion for me - blame my growing up in SoCal. As part of that, I am VERY particular about what actually 'is' Mexican food - what's that? Simple ingredients, treated well. It's not 'tex-mex,' for sure. As part of that, there is one marker that will always sell or kill a Mexican joint: tacos. As you can see by another of my reviews, I learned that yes, as simple as tacos are to make - and make well - they're also very easy to screw up. Puya? They did it right! Tucked underground at Rock Center's rink level, you might assume they'd be some tourist trap...and you'd be very wrong. SUPER flavorful and overflowing with meat, these little babies were perfecto. I will note, however, that guac (while I love it) is not standard on tacos, but that's fine, I just ordered it on the side. My only notes for improvement? The lovely corn tortillas did want to fall apart, so I'm surprised they don't double layer them, but soooo worth the effort (and yes, a little mess). And also, because I've never ordered online, when I showed up to pick up, there was no discernible way to figure out where my food was. I asked a gal behind the counter and she pointed me to get in line - which seemed goofy, but okay. Once at the head of the line? Turns out there's a lil out of the way cubby for online orders. Now I know for next time. read more

I saw this new Mexican place open in the concourse, so I set my mind to try it. It's a solid place but not reaching the point of something I'd crave. It has its value. Not a cheap eat but tolerable considering its location. I see many photos of only two tacos but it's not enough food imo - get three. There's a 10% discount for tenants but only on the lower half of the menu aka no discount on tacos except for special of the month. I ordered: carne taco, al pastor taco, and a side of guac and chips. Overall I like the amount of meat they give. The portions look small but the meat piece is sufficient. I wish they'd give two pieces of tortilla per taco. The tortilla shredded under the weight of the ingredients. I haven't decided if I like the current soft texture or prefer something chewier. I think they make it in house - may or may not have seen a ball of dough in the kitchen. Flavorwise, I like how clean and clear everything tasted. If I were to compare to Chipotle, Chipotle can sometimes taste "foggy". Also I appreciate they give a piece of lime for each taco. I thought I would like the al pastor more but I actually like the carne asada more. Both have very similar toppings that I was worried they'd taste similar too. The meats show up enough to stand for themselves. I like the stronger meat taste in the carne asada (not gamey). The pork in al pastor was just not as juicy, and the bright seasoning wasn't as pronounced as it looks. The amount of guac and salsa work well to provide moisture. Either I only got very little salsa or it's more mild because I have 0 recollection what it tasted like. Guac and chips. If they make their tortilla in house I'm assuming they make chips too. It's different than ones I get outside. It's more seasoned but in a mellow way. The amount of salt works really well too. Their chips have a smoother batter and fried to a light brown color. Small complaints are that they can do a better job draining/soaking oil and that the uneven shapes poke my mouth in the wrong ways when eating. The guac might be the least exciting part of the whole meal. It is what it is and is what it needs to be. A complaint might be how it wasn't filled to the top of the cup. It looks cute inside. Employees are nice and efficient. There is a large counter where all the food gets prepared. They wrap all plates with aluminum foil when giving you your order. When I saw photos of other people's orders with just plates, it worried me how can I carry around the food. I'm satsified with the aluminum wrapping, but it's still not ideal for longer commutes (aka anyone who's not a nearby office worker) or large orders. read more

The tacos were mid. What was really disappointing was a $10 cup of tasteless sangria. I should have spent $2 and got water for this. read more

The service is very quick and the ambiance leaves much to be desired, but it's a take out place. Given that it's a takeout place, I'd expect the tacos to come in a takeout box and not a plate? Also, the veggie tacos were filling (had the $15 for 3 taco Tuesday deal), but leaves some texture of crunch to be desired. The tacos ended up becoming really soggy because they don't double wrap the soft shells. Overall, it tasted good but I probably wouldn't come back. Edit: got mild food poisoning on a vegetarian taco. Never coming back - these hygiene standards need to be investigated for vegetarian food to do this to me. read more

They advertise this place as if you miss Mexican food and you're from California to come here. This is definitely not traditional Mexican food that you can find all over California. I should've read the name after Puya, which is PUEBLA definitely more Southern California style. There is a spot in NYC, some San Diego owners opened a burrito place and they put french fries in a burrito and call it a burrito. Honestly, only San Diego does that. I'm not a fan of Puebla. read more

So i was recommended by an instagram reel a family member shared of this location. I'll be straight forward. The food was delicious and my drink was very tasty. The service was excellent and respectful. The location's seating was very limited almost where you have to wait for a chair or a table to open. Sometimes they are very dirty after people leave. What makes this 3 stars is the pricing. I was informed that the food would be cheap but i spent 70 dollars for a 3 person brunch. Unless it's for a specific occasion, this place is good but the pricing for the meals here should be a bit cheaper. read more

This is bustling high traffic eatery located in Rockefeller plaza. We were there for Taco Tuesday, 3 tacos for $5 each. We chose the carne asada, taco al pastor, and taco di birra. Little did we know that Puja is the name of a famous Mexican hot pepper, and those tacos sure had a kick to them! All were fresh and made right on the spot. My favorite was the taco di birra and we enjoyed our Mexican beers. There are a few small tables and some counter seats for dining in, but most opted to take their food and go. Service was very fast and also friendly and the place was clean and bright. Easy to read menu on wall. Restrooms elswhere in the plaza. read more

I needed to grab a quick lunch and was BLOWN away with this restaurant. The tacos were around $6 each and were a good size. From when I walked into the restaurant to when I walked out, was less than 8 minutes. Not a lot of people were eating inside, but there were a few tables available. Everyone was incredibly kind and the restaurant was ran with incredible efficiency and speed. I ordered the taco al pastor and was thoroughly impressed with the incredible flavor and tenderness of the pork. There was quite a bit of guacamole (always a good thing) and the pineapples added an impeccable sweetness. The onions added a nice crunch and overall, I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant whether you work in 30 Rock, or if you are near the area!!! read more

Pedidos tacos uno al pastor y otro de asada ambas carnes al parecer ya tenían bastante tiempo de haber sido cocinadas porque ambas estaban bastante resecas, lo cual afecta la textura y el sabor de la proteína , el lugar está escondido debajo del edificio Rockefeller tampoco tienen una bar de salsas se las tienes que pedir a los cocineros y te la dan en un pequeño vaso de una onza , tampoco están buenas están bastante insípidas tengo que decir que lo único que me gustó este restaurante fue la tortilla y el refresco que me tomé , definitivamente recomiendo tacos número 1 read more

Pastor tacos were terrible. Borderline inedible. Cold, chewy. The spit wasn't even running so they clearly got some cold materials from the back. Go to Los Tacos No 1. read more

Joining the rest of the casual eateries in the basement of the Rockefeller Center comes a taco joint, ironically created by an Italian hospitality group. Menu is kept simple and concise, with a selection of the basic taco fillings (Al pastor, carne asada, a vegetarian that's surprisingly not no nopales but more carbs from potatoes and corn and also the current mandatory birria). Everything comes on a piece of corn tortilla. Need about three to make a meal. One is just a tease. There's also a more substantial and price friendly burrito at $12 that comes in chicken only. A vegetarian quesadilla and three other appetizers on menu. Puya, the chili is definitely the charm of the menu. It's a fine place for approachable Mexican food within the vicinity if Los Tacos #1 is not available. read more

Came here for a lunch with a friend. Food and service were excellent. Tacos were messy to eat but delicious. Prices were fair considering location. I do like that they let the customer check their order before paying, helps lessen confusion. It does get very crowded during the lunch hour so be prepared! Try the Jamaica Agua Fresca drink it's refreshing! read more

Great tacos and the service is great! They even have a little bit of seating.in the store.

I wanted to like this place but the food was a major disappointment. The burrito was small and tasteless, and I'm not sure there was even any chicken in it. It just seemed like a small wrap full of rice and beans, with a bit of guac and sour crème. Be warned, portions are tiny - the burrito was smaller than a Taco Bell taco. As pricy as this place is I was expecting a lot more. Skip this one. read more

The food was amazing! Absolutely better than Taco Bell, and that is saying something. The restaurant was very small, and though this sounds bad, it's not. It was really small. Which made the service really convenient. They would put the food on the table and we could just take it and eat it. It was also really clean for a small space. It also has vegetarian and non vegetarian options, so it's convenient for anyone who wants to have really good food. The taco vegetarian is especially good. read more

Delicious tacos, very nice service and atmosphere ! The special taco changes every week ! read more

I came in here today for lunch and while the service was fast and very friendly the food wasn't very good. $18 for a burrito and Mexican. I specifically asked for not spicy but every part of this burrito was spicy. My lips were burning the entire meal. The rice was all dente, and spice a side the burrito wasn't very flavorful. Given the very limited options you would think that what they do make would be made well, sadly I won't be back. read more

Excellent Tacos, The water of Horchata was absolutely the best I love this establishment.
