I came here with a friend to see a World Cup game! We were on the waitlist first and were told it would be a 30mins wait but thankfully a table opened up a lot quicker. We took advantage of their 10 taco deal for the World Cup. They were good. The projector screen was nice too. We were glad we did not need to stand the whole entire game. The bathroom could have been cleaner but there are two here. read more

I heard about the new Volcan De Pastor item and decided to come by to try it cause it seemed mildly intriguing.. In all honesty, I don't have a lot of hopes for fast casual chains like this that don't even sell the traditional cuts for tacos (I'm talking tongue, skin, and stomach) but I figured, why the heck not, ya know. I came in and was seated quickly and my order was taken swiftly. My Volcan De Pastor came quickly and it looks like it was freshly prepared which was nice. I had my hopes up a tiny but but eh, overall it was just.... lacking I think. I think my tostada was burnt, and the meat itself was relatively dry and bland. With a name like Volcan de Pastor attached to it, I was REALLY expecting some heat, from either it or from the liquid in the little cup they gave us, but honestly it was just pretty bland overall. Overall, it was just... there but I don't think it was anything to really enjoy. read more

Chips & Guac were decent! Chunky guac, chips were fresh and crispy! Free marg for the marathon runner. Food looked great, but I didn't eat just quick snack and marg. Staff were friendly. They did take awhile to bring our check, but they were busy with other tables which was fine with me. I definitely want to come back and try their Birria Burrita. read more

Tacombi - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

I came here for dinner and the entire place was pretty full. We were able to walk in with no reservation. We got: - white wine - cucumber margarita - chips/guac - al pastor taco: $5.49 for one taco is pretty steep in my opinion - al pastor quesadilla: I liked this but found it interesting that it came open faced. So there's really only 2 pieces once you fold it and cut it in half. - carne asada quesadilla read more

I'm a huge fan of Tacombi. I've been to the restaurant location on the Upper West Side, downtown near NYU, and now here. Every time I am blown away by how great the service and the food is. I always get the tacos with steak or pork, but this time I decided to go with the steak burrito and switch it up. I loved the steak though it was a little too overcooked for my taste although it was perfectly seasoned. The hot sauces that were provided in the beginning of the meal were too spicy for my friends but they were just right for me. I'm a fan of the menu (in all locations) where you can check off what you want by writing on it with pencils that are provided by the restaurant. Overall the food was great, the service was fast, and my friends loved their experience too. I think they plan on coming back, as will I of course. read more

Tried Tacombi and ordered two al pastor tacos ($5.49 each) and one seared fish taco ($6.99). Unfortunately, the experience fell short. The tacos arrived without salsa, and the meat, while cooked fine in texture, lacked seasoning and depth of flavor. For the price point, I was hoping for something more vibrant and satisfying. Not the worst tacos I've had, but overall disappointing compared to the standard I expect at this price. read more

I came on a Sunday afternoon and quickly got seated. I ordered the corn esquites. The corn was sweet and plentiful. The lime wedge helped add some acidity. The amount of cheese and sauce (some kind of spicy creama) was just right. Now the tacos: *I wanted to try a fish taco but some of the reviews made me nervous! Al pastor: good amount of filling. The meat is a bit dry and could have been more tender. I wish the pineapple was more ripe. Sweet potato and black bean: Yummy- smoky and The cook on the potato could be more uniform. Some pieces were cooked through than others. The tomatillo salsa is delicious. Overall- a solid option. For two tacos and the esquites, it was just under $15 bucks. In terms of popular nyc chains, if Los Taco's 1 and a Tacombi are on the same block, I'm going to Los Taco's. read more

I was a bit nervous as the last Tacombi location I went to was disappointing, but this spot changed my mind and I left full and happy. I finally got to try the cod taco and i definitely can't wait to get it again. The crispiness is perfectly complemented by the flavors of the fish and seasonings. You can also never go wrong with their birria and I think it's one of their best. Come ready to eat! read more

I'll start my review by saying it was very easy to get a table here for 2, I walked right in on a Saturday Night. The service by the host was amazing and she is doing a great job. The atmosphere was also really cool, it feels like you are in a makeshift restaurant in an alley. That's where the two stars would come in. We ordered a cheese quesadilla, beef birria tacos, and the beef ribeye burrita. The food was not bad but it was not great and the portion sizes were really small. In the beef ribeye quesadilla, it was mostly fries and very little beef. I could also barely taste any cheese on the beef birria tacos. I also ordered a margarita which was good, however I was just disappointed with the food's portion sizes. 2.5/5 read more

Sign me up for the corn esquites and seared fish taco. We stopped by Tacombi as one of our final spots of the Foods of NY Tour through Nolita in the afternoon. The cup of corn was to die for: I loved how the flavors melded together. And the fish taco was pretty good, too. As for the general vibes at Tacombi, I loved it. The warm food makes the warehouse feel nice and warm, especially with the sweet staff that welcomes you to the space. read more

Such delicious food with immaculate vibes! It felt like such a cool space with such delicious tacos and a variety of foods. It was my first night in NYC and this place truly was a hit! Will definitely be back very soon! 9/10 recommend! read more

Tacombi - Corn Esquites. Al Pastor Taco. - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

3.5 stars. I used Grubhub to place an order during a recent visit to New York. We got the corn esquites and the Baja crispy fish frito burrita. I did ask to remove the mayo from my esquites, and they delivered. I enjoyed those very much. Being that I have had actual Baja California fish tacos and burritos, it's pretty hard to beat the real thing. Tacombi tried, and I think they were okay. They lacked some flavor and for the price, the portion was pretty small. I did appreciate the quickness of the food delivery though. Since we got takeout, I can't comment on the ambiance. read more

Service is great; everyone is super friendly, but the offerings are rather subpar and lacking. Our group came to visit thanks to the fact that Yelp advertises this place as a spot for Micheladas. I will say to whoever is organizing the algorithm for that to think twice!!! They use their own in-house beer to make the Miche with, which isn't super big of a problem but the mix that they use here is so bland and tasteless. Was not spicy, barely any sour tanginess, and almost no saltiness whatsoever. It reminded me of the half melted ice pieces at the end of your Miche after you've finished it, but think the whole drink tastes like it instead. Like essence of michelada, whisper of michelada, a cough of michelada, a MEMORIAL of a michelada. Rather unfortunate as the spot itself is pretty nice. I was too afraid to opt into trying the food. I just don't think this is a spot for anyone that really cares about flavorful cuisine or an authentic experience. read more

Ordered takeout on postmates. They currently have BOGO offer for al pastor tacos and BOGO baja crispy fish tacos. I heard the fish tacos were good and they were, but honestly wasn't that special to me. The al pastor tacos were very disappointing. They were so so dry and only had one large thin piece of pineapple on it and it wasn't flavorful at all. I would have preferred if it was cut up into pieces and distributed throughout the taco. I couldn't even finish the al pastor tacos. However, the guac was tasty. I got a small size and I'm surprised it came with a huge bag of chips. The chips were crunchy and went well with the guac. read more

Who doesn't love a Taco Tuesday deal? Taco minis a staple here, regardless of the location, the service and food is amazing. My friends had me try the tortilla soup which was not on the menu and it was the perfect start to our meal. The spice set the tone for hot sauce on our tacos, and the pulled chicken was perfection! Don't sleep on the fried fish, shrimp and chicken tacos- I'm full and my mouth is watering just thinking about them. read more

This restaurant may have had the funnest vibe and aesthetic out of all the restaurants we went to. You feel like you are in a street alley in Mexico, as vetted by my Mexican friend. However, the good things somewhat stop there. The food was definitely delicious but for the price and portion I was surprised. My burrito with ribeye from the famous Pat LaFrieda meat purveyors was maybe 5% meat and 90% potato. For the price I'd definitely hope for more. Regardless the vibes of the place were really cool, I just wish the price for the food was more justified. read more

This is one of the times I truly regret falling into the social media trap, where food influencers hype a specific meal and I just have to try it. This time, it was Tacombi's collaboration with Michelin Star El Califa de Leon, and in my opinion it just wasn't worth going crazy for. The taco itself wasn't bad, don't get me wrong. The meat was juicy, great quality, and perfectly sized for their homemade tortilla (which I can say was GREAT.) The meat itself was just lacking flavor (salt even) and with the added salsas provided, it just wasn't a memorable meal. With coming to this restaurant solely to try this overhyped Michelin star taco, I unfortunately wasn't able to try much of Tacombi's actual menu. I did order the baja fish taco because I'm a sucker for fish tacos, and that was extremely flavorful and saved the entirety of the meal. My friend was able to try a few other tacos from Tacombi's actual menu and had no complaints there, saying they were bursting with flavor and perfectly seasoned. I tried a bit of the shrimp taco he had and wasn't completely satisfied (two small shrimp cut up into small pieces to make you feel like you have more, stewed in a sauce that leads to overcooked seafood? I'll pass.) It seems like sticking to Tacombi's regular menu is the way to go, and I'll definitely have to update this review if I return to try more of their actual food. But if you, like me, were excited for this partnership with El Califa de Leon -- I wouldn't even bother. There are so many taco trucks throughout NYC with great, flavorful tacos, that are even at a lower price point than these. Stick to those, and maybe plan on trying these "Michelin star tacos" from the actual location in Mexico City. read more

Went recently with my wife. Had one of our best NYC experiences so far! Truly felt like we were in an authentic Mexican restaurant in Miami or Carmen de Playa. My wife had the Crispy Chicken Taco and I got the Crispy Chicken Quesadilla. I got a Strawberry Marg and she got a Piña Colada. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, incredibly timely, and freshly made! The wait staff was all very nice and attentive and the pricing was reasonable (considering NYC) will definitely be back! read more

Came here after shopping in soho. I usually love Tacombi. Their food is great. The vibes are fun. I'm not sure what happened at this location tho. Our drinks weren't strong, the churros tasted uncooked, and the restroom was FILTHY. The restaurant wasn't as busy as it can be. My partner and I waited 1hr for the churros - after 40 min in, we asked about the order and were informed that this dish "takes a while" - I've made churros at home and I don't agree. If I'm paying for food while at an establishment, I'm present for the experience. I expect the bathroom to be clean. Everything was practically pissed so I won't be returning here. read more

Just meh, I tried to like their food. I even went to the Flatiron location to see if maybe it'll change my mind. The tacos are very disappointing. Even the Baja fish was very dry despite it being fried. I think it's because of the corn taco shell. Usually I prefer a corn shell but not from here. Also they give a sauce cup size of guac for 8.5$ I know guac isn't cheap but damn did not expect it to be just one spoonful for guac. read more

I went there on Friday and it was not that packed, didn't have to wait to get a seat. Highly recommend the Corn!

The meat might look dry but it is just right with the sauce. The environment is overall chill and comfortable! read more

I heard great reviews about this place and since they have a collaboration with Michelin star, El Califa de León, I went out of my way to try it out. It's a unique & cute restaurant but the food wasn't up to par. Who is giving this restaurant all these high ratings? The taco trucks around the city are wayyyyyy better (& cheaper) than the tacos they serve. I got the chuletas tacos from the collab. It was a thin sliced, under seasoned piece of pork chop slapped on a hard tortilla (with 2 sauces on the side). I didn't care much for it so I ordered the battered fried fish and a grilled fish taco. The fried fish wasn't fried well and the grilled fish was dry. The ingredients didn't feel fresh. And can we guess again? UNDER SEASONED. When I tell you everything is bland, it is bland!!! Overall, I paid around $35 for 4 tacos + tips. This was an underwhelming experience. I expected way more than a mediocre meal. read more

Tacombi - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

My group of 4 came here around noon on a weekday. We got seated immediately as the restaurant was mostly empty, it seems like they're mostly processing togo orders during lunchtime. Service was pretty friendly, but you could definitely also tell they were pretty busy scrambling to get all the takeout orders ready - we had to ask them to bring salsa and it took a bit for our food to come out. I think this place is known for their baja fried fish tacos, but I unfortunately was not very impressed with them. Considering how long it took for them to come out, I'd imagine they were making it pretty fresh but they weren't that crispy or crunchy. I thought the chicken quesadilla was also mostly just alright, it was not bad but I do think there are other places that do it better. I did quite enjoy my shrimp taco though, I feel like the shrimp was pretty fresh and it was very tasty. If I come here again I might just order the shrimp tacos next time. I have heard people come here for the salsa dancing and the vibes of the restaurant which it seems like they only have for dinner, so we possibly just came at a bad time. Overall though I thought my experience was alright, but nothing exceptional. read more

I was craving a good taco. Heard some good things about Tacombi, and the reviews were good, so I decided to try it out. Ended up getting takeout, so the tacos may not have been at their best. Beef birria was probably the best taco I had out of the four. It had enough flavor, stuffed with meat, and the consume made it not dry. I did wish the consume was just a little bit thicker so that the taco could soak up more of it. Baja crispy fish taco wasn't good. The fish was on the drier side, and the batter tasted a bit bitter. Therefore, the oil they fried the fish in could've been old. Al pastor was disappointing. The meat was tough, and it didn't have a whole ton of flavor. The carne asada taco was just okay too. I did like that they had grilled onions. Overall, I didn't really enjoy their tacos especially since they're pretty expensive. $5 for a street styled taco is insane, and the quality just wasn't worth the price. read more

I'm upset I haven't been to this restaurant sooner. It's super low-key, but in the mains of NYC. The service was by far great even though we came about an hour before closing. I can't elaborate more on the ambiance. It was chic and authentic. You feel like you're dining in a real Mexican restaurant, honestly. I am again upset that I didn't get to this place sooner. The drinks were simple but amazing. The craft beer made me feel right in Mexico, and the Margarita was fresh and had the right connection. The TACOS were so FRESH. So much flavor and so much kick adding the hot sauce. Definitely a must go and they have plenty location across the US. read more

There's not much that I can add to the more than 1200 reviews that have been written about Tacombi. This is basically really good food truck food served in a restaurant setting. There's even the original food truck parked in the middle of the place. The food is good, food truck quality. The atmosphere is a lot of fun. The beer is good and plentiful. The Margaritas are good too. The staff are helpful and pleasant. We were served promptly and though we kept adding on to our order, the server was more than willing to indulge our appetites. We found the seared fish taco and shrimp taco to be our favorites. And the price can't be beat. This is a really informal place to enjoy tacos and have some fun. Not the greatest quality food, but that's not what this place is about. read more

I came with a few friends, and thought it was just okay. I had three tacos, and none of them stood out to me as particularly good (thought they were not bad, either). Service wasn't particularly great, either. Our group was relatively big (6) and they had us order off on one menu (and they ended up forgetting one of our tacos, but we didn't even bother reminding them). I am not sure I would come back here. read more

Standard food and a less than stellar service experience made this place skippable to me. We ordered a fish taco and an al pastor burrito. Both were decent, but neither super memorable and they weren't that authentic tasting. We originally walked in and placed the order to go, but quickly changed our minds afterwards and decided to sit down in their outside seating area to eat. (They also have many tables inside the restaurant as well.) Despite this, we were told by the staff that we couldn't eat there because we had ordered to go. We totally would have understood this had the restaurant been busy, but not a single table was occupied in this outdoor area, as can be seen in my photo. Overall, Tacombi is fine. It'll get the job done in a pinch, but you can definitely find better elsewhere, both in terms of flavour and overall experience. read more

Tacombi - Outdoor seating area - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

For anyone who's been to Tacombi... how could you not love it. Tacombi has been one of my go-tos since it's inception (is Nolita one of their first locations?) and their tacos and cocktails are always good. I've been to this location when there's a 2 hr wait for 3, and I've been when there's no wait. It's honestly a toss up, but they answer the phones if you call and ask what the wait is! This location is very garagey (as are most locations) with a VW van parked inside. It's on the smaller side compared to some of their other locations but still roomy and airy. The drinks here are worth it and I almost always get the Rubio. Tart, a little sweet, and boozy for $11. The fried fish taco here is one of my favorite things ever. When it's good it's GOOD and when it's not, it's ok. 85% of the time it's great and I can live with that! I saw they recently added a fried first burrito to the menu which I did not get to try YET. Tacombi is an old faithful, and I'm always down for a tasty taco. read more

I was in the area after an appointment and needed food so my husband and I decided on ordering from Tacombi. I've read pretty good reviews about this spot (not this location) so I had pretty high hopes for the food. We ordered 3 tacos- al pastor, fish, and carnitas, the corn, and a burrito. The service was quick- our order was ready for pickup as soon as we got there which was about 10 minutes after we placed the order. On to the food- all the tacos we tried were just ok. The meat in the al pastor was pretty tough which made it unpleasant to eat. The carnitas was the only decent one as the fish taco was bland and tasteless. The corn tortilla it comes with also felt like chewing on cardboard- it was just hard and not soft at all. Overall tacos were disappointing for what the charge per taco. I've paid similar prices elsewhere but with really good tacos so definitely a big let down. The corn came in a small cup- $4 felt a tad steep but at least it was good. Not the best, but better than the tacos for sure. Last, the burrito- we got the al pastor burrito (I usually love al pastor tacos and figured it wouldnt hurt to get the burrito as well). Welp, there were so much beans, not a lot of meat and for $13, it was also another let down! Maybe it was an off day? Maybe this location isn't as good as the other locations where I've seen better reviews. Will try a different location next time. read more

After going to an event in the area, I came into this place looking for a good margarita. When I entered, I immediately noticed the cool decor and set-up. I opted for more than a margarita....well, actually, I never got the margarita. I ordered a agua fresco de sandia.....OMG talk about gooooooood. In addition, I ordered birria tacos....guca and chips, and black beans and rice. The birria was decent compared to one of the trucks you may find in the city(calm down...don't get over excited... they are like the trucks in Manhattan, NOT the ones in Queens). The guc was fresh and tasted made to order. But ironically the the black beans and rice were on the next level. The beans did not taste like Goya beans out of the can. These beans were really good, and so was the cilantro rice. I would have been happy if that was all I ordered. Before closing out my check, I had an agua fresco de Piña. It was also very refreshing. However, the watermelon/sandia was hands down my favorite. If I were to be in the area again, I would stop by again. read more
