I love this food truck. It has everything you want quick. They have delicious tacos, all the meat comes shredded which is different than the cubed form from other locations. The shredded meat retains so much juice and flavors and they dont skim on the tacos. It always feel like they are stuffing you. The tacos are $4-5 depending on which protein option you select. I also regularly get the flautas with chicken and the torta de milanesa. These 2 items are also really good and their prices even better (less than $12 each). The staff are always quick to work and nice to chat with. Since it is a food truck there is no seats but they do have a trash can nearby if you want to eat on the trucks ledge. I will continue to come back as it is definitely worth it.

Yum yum yum, I'm not a big fan of tortillas but these had a nice flavor to them and alil sweetness. The shrimp tacos was filled with a generous portion of shrimp, the steak was well seasoned, and so was the chicken. These tacos were very well made and decently priced. Located in sheepshead bay... I've definitely be visiting again

Chorizo Taco, Carnitas Taco, Bistec Taco

The tacos here are in a nice and nostalgic area, Kings Highway. The tacos are just ok, 3/5 overall. Could use more flavoring, yet it satisfies the taco craves. We got shrimp, chorizo, steak, carnitas, and beef brisket taco. The carnitas(pork) taco is very good. Chorizo and shrimp could be better. The green and red sauce were super good and on point with the hotness.

if you love your life you need to come eat here. The food was so good, and everyone working there is so friendly.

I wanted to update my review with pictures so y'all could see for yourself what I'm talking about! I almost always forget to because I like my food hot but this time I made a mental note to take a picture. I have tried aloooooot of taquerias in the area and I'm telling you, Tacos Linos is the best. There are a few other spots that come close, but the biggest thing that they have over all of their competition is flavor honey. Flavor and consistency. I have not had one bad meal from them. None of their meats lack flavor whatsoever, and that is super rare. Alot of places will do one specific meat really well and the rest fall short. Some literally just don't season their food. I know I'm not the only one who's ordered carnitas tacos and ended up with a tortilla full of fat. That's never happened with Linos. Their bistec taco is literally one of my Top 5 favorite tacos of all time. It is SO GOOD. Linos has good tortillas, great meats, quick delivery times and it's always fresh. If I was being picky I'd say they should start including the little grilled cebollitas with their tacos but it's not a necessity, it would just be an added bonus lol. Mind you, these pictures were taken after I waited over an hour to eat so I had to microwave them. EVERYTHING WAS STILL AMAZING! If I ever have to do that, I dab a little water on the tortillas with my fingers, put a wet a paper towel over the tacos and then close the container. That way the meat doesn't dry out and the tortillas don't get hard. Ugh can't wait till tomorrow!

This taco truck never disappoints. Placed an order through grubhub and received a friendly phone call from the truck letting me know that my order was on its way. Went with 3 carne asada tacos, 3 pastor tacos, 1 carnitas torta, and 1 pollo de milanesa torta. Have to say that as usual everything was super tasty and delicious. Love the delivery service and how the food stays at a good temp during transit. Sure beats having to take the train because this food deserves better than having to travel on a nyc train. Great job tacos lino's!

Amazing food, flavors on point, great service, red & green sauce are delicious well worth it

This taco truck has been here for a while now. I never tried it out because frankly I wasn't a fan of tacos. One day I took the chance and ordered two tacos for my brother and my mother. I got the shrimp taco $5 and the carnitas $4. The make it fresh on the spot. They do add a decent amount of shrimp on the shrimp taco but it lacks flavor according to my brother. As for the carnitas, it was dry and not good. I can't say this will be a one off taco deal but for the price, I might try other places. read more

Ordered delivery a few nights ago it was so good and fresh and authentic. We have been trying to find a place that has good tacos in the area. Ordered the chicken burrito and the chipotle chicken taco, carnitas and carne Asada taco and guacamole and chips. Guacamole was fresh could have used more jalapeño or hot pepper. The tacos had generous portion of meat I couldn't finish all three. The burrito was delish. Will be ordering again. read more

Great bargain Mexican food, cheap by today's standards, always super quick and fresh if you get it at the truck. I'm a sucker for the burritos especially, which they make according to house recipes that always seem to beat made-to-order burritos from way swankier spots that aren't tiny food trucks. Hope this place never rolls away lol read more

I was shocked by the quality of the taco. Once you order, they do take some time to actually make your food from scratch but it is definitely well worth the wait. During COVID I've been addicted. I love the Pastor (Pork w/ Pineapple, Barbacoa (Steamed Goat) and the Camaron (Shrimp). I've been going every single day and I probably should stop before I die. read more

It was still fairly busy inside, but it was mostly people grabbing to-go orders. After ordering I snagged a spot at the counter. There's extremely limited seating, so I wouldn't bank on eating at the restaurant when it's busy. Be prepared to take your food to go. I got the Nene's Deluxe, which comes with a taco, a mulita, and an empanada - all with Birria of course. It was all delicious. The mulita was at the bottom of the box and got completely soaked with Birria. It was extremely messy to eat. Get plenty of napkins. I also got a side of fries and nacho cheese, because it was a long week and I deserved it. They had a seasonal strawberry horchata as well. This was okay. I also think I might just not love horchata in general. This meal definitely hit the spot. The Birria and consommé were top notch. I would return in a heartbeat.

Filling between two tortillas and I saw some guac filling as well. The consome was good! Not too salty - and has general pieces of meat inside the soup. The tacos were good but I felt like it lacked a little depth. I added some of the mango(?) it was a sweetish salsa and that gave it a nice little kick.

When you come to nenes, you forget the line and wait. You transfigure into sheep and are happily a part of the herd. The only thing everyone is thinking are the minutes on the clock before annihilating the food.

This place is quite affordable, as it was $13 for a pretty well-sized burrito. The burrito was…read moregood. However, I felt like the meat was a little dry and could have used a little more flavor, but overall it was solid. I do really like the sauce bar they have! The orange salsa was sweet and smoky and spicy, and the green salsa was very solid, and I liked the pickled radish as well. The service is very efficient, and the ambience inside feels very no-frills and authentic. Overall, I would recommend this place if you're looking for a good quick value meal.

They churn them out pretty quickly, they are fresh hot and the meats are tender and juicy. In my opinion they have dialed down the spice level on their salsas but they are good as well. I usually get an asado or asada (chicken or steak) taco or volcan. Top 10 tacos in Brooklyn. Inside is really spacious and they have a bar although the place is super casual and has almost no table service.

Radio Bakery

First time coming in person (I have been spoiled and a fantastic coworker would bring in different…read moretreats from here on occasion). The space is relatively small, with a line inside and outside and a few tables outside. The length of the line and wait time varies based on the time of day and if you go on a weekday vs weekend. Go early if you don't want them to sell out of anything or purposely go a little later if you want one of their lunch sandwiches on focaccia. I have had the tomato and garlic focaccia twice now and each time it has been exceptional. Minor critique, the slices of garlic could be a bit smaller. I also had the shakshuka focaccia which is divine and I would absolutely recommend both. I need to come back to try their sandwiches as well. I am not a sweets person, but everyone I know loves their pastries. Getting someone a gif tcard here makes for a great gift.

Dropped by Radio Bakery on the Tuesday morning after Memorial Day and the lines weren't too crazy…read more I got there in time to grab some breakfast items and baked goods, and then waited at a table outside for the lunch items to get set out around 11AM. I'm usually more of a savory girlie but all the sweet items we tried were great, especially the rhubarb croissant and the earl grey morning bun. I really enjoyed the focaccia sandwiches (smoked salmon and pea/mint/feta were elite) and the artichoke green garlic slice. The flavor of the sesame stirato was excellent but the bread itself was a tad too chewy for the filling we got with it (tuna salad), so that style probably works better with the jambon beurre. Will definitely be on the rotation whenever I'm in the city -- would love to try some of their seasonal/limited edition items one day, though not sure if I have it in me to brave the lines that can form on the weekends, lol! We'll see :)

Be sure to make a reservation, as this spot is popular, especially on a nice weekend. We recently had a weekend brunch at one of the tables outside. Everything on the menu sounded good, but we decided on a couple of their specials. Started with the razor clams, which were cooked perfectly and topped with fresh herbs. We also had the fried soft shell crab sandwich with the side of Caesar salad. The sandwich was well balanced with the crunchy crab and herby aioli. The Caesar was light and refreshing. The fish and chips came with two fried filets of white fish and a basket of classic fries. The fish was lightly battered and flakey. The house made tartar sauce was a good complement to it. One of my top meals this year so far! Perfect summer meal!

Going to Greenpoint Fish and Lobster on a weekend is truly a mission. If you don't have a reservation chances are you'll be waiting around for a long time. They estimated 30min wait and it turned out to be over an hour. We were ready to walk away 3 times but ended up sticking around as we were promised we were third on the list meanwhile more than 3 parties were seated before us (strange!). Once we were seated, we ordered right away having had time to look at the menu while waiting. Crudo, dozen of oysters, clam chowder + lobster roll. - Crudo was a bit sad with 6 pieces of fish lying on a big plate with an insane amount of salt flakes. It was fresh but don't think it's worth ordering. - East coast oysters were puny. Very mid especially because I've recently tried some at Upstate that were amazing. They're incomparable. - Lobster roll. Okay should've just gone straight for the roll because it was perfect. Buttery and fresh with perfect balance of lobster roll bread. The salad dressing also was delicious. So good! Definitely highlight of this restaurant. - Clam chowder. Also 10/10. Hearty, flavorful. Loved every bite of it. Service was average. They weren't profoundly interested in giving best service instead just chatting amongst each other and dropping off plates. Also they forgot about the clam chowder we ordered and asked if we still want it.. YES..that's why we ordered it. Overall if you don't pay attention to those details it's worth coming for some great seafood. BUT I highly recommend getting a reservation.
