I got off the subway at Stanhope to walk to a different restaurant, but the scent of Mexican food radiating from this spot instantly had me craving. I came in late night on a Friday and there was a good amount of people at the restaurant. My friend and I both ordered quesadillas with al pastor and I was surprised at how fast the food came out! I think we waited barely 5min. I had the flour tortilla for my quesadilla. The quesadilla uses one tortilla so it's probably pretty small for the average person. My friend was still hungry after his, but the size was just right for me since I get full easily. I got my quesadilla with everything on it besides pineapple. The onions and veggies tasted fresh and there was a perfect amount of meat and cheese ratio. Will definitely be back. read more

Taqueria al Pastor - Al pastor quesadilla with everything on it except pineapple - Tacos Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Easily one of the best taco spots in Bushwick since they opened. Super flavorful, and always a lively vibe on weekend nights despite the tiny space. Only downside is the pricing--nearly $20 for a burrito feels like a lot, especially when Taqueria Santa Fe nearby has more options for way less. read more

Bomb! Its in the name. Their al pastor tacos are the best in town. Quick service especially when coming after a long day or a night drinking. You won't wait long. And the service is always so vibrant. Even tried the vegetarian options and it still hits. read more

Sunday taco day? Come here.. While the place is small, the tacos are big in flavor. We got some Al pastor tacos in corn tortilla and steak taco on corn tortillas. We also got some guac which was 10/10 -creamy with some chunky tomato and onions inside. The young lady at register was very nice and gave us service with a smile. read more

The al pastor tacos were sooo delicious and not too salty. Corn tortillas were so fragrant. The chips were a bit stale and guac was alright. But the al pastor is definitely recommended!! read more

Did I just pay $17 for two grilled chicken tacos that were covered, ne-- Smothered in an avocado sauce that literally looked like a cat had vomited on my plate. Also, cucumbers as a garnish? What in the actual hell, Bushwick? The tortillas were soaked. Fell apart on the first bite. Watery. Vomity. My god, Brooklyn. read more

Decent spot for the 2 AM late night hunger hit. Service was pretty quick, but the tacos themselves were nearly flavorless. Had to add a bunch of hot sauce when I got back home to have any flavor at all. Probably a pass next time. read more

Always visit late night, it's my brother's favorite spot. Small place on the corner, with good vibes. The people are always very nice, the food is made right in front of you, and it's delicious and fresh. --My favorite is the chicken burrito with everything on it or the Volcanes with chicken, fire! I recently discovered they have roasted jalapeños and green onion, definitely get some of those! Could be a little pricey, but worth it. read more

Unfortunately, it seems as if private equity or some new investor has rolled in. Ordered my usual last night, and noticed the price had gone up by 15%. Fair enough, given the state of the economy/inflation, but then my burrito arrived and it was 40% smaller! Literally fit in the small skillet which the old one would never have. The weight just wasn't there, and the steak portion was horrible. So disappointed. This was my go to spot! Will unfortunately need to find a new one. Stay tuned. read more

A great place for some Mexican food. I usually get the burritos and it never fails. The cooks are always willing to make accommodations. Limited seating here so don't look to lounge around too long. read more

I was in town for work and found this spot on DoorDash/UberEats, glad I did! I had a burrito (marinated pork burrito/burrito al pastor) that was so yummy. I also ordered a horchata and gringa de carne asada. I must get it again next time I'm in town! read more

Chicken lacked any seasoning. They did not ask the type of sauce so they gave me the hottest one . For the price of the burritos expected more meat and ingredients. And to top it off no sour cream! Was expecting an excellent meal from the look of the establishment instead got a mediocre one . Won't be returning read more

A PERFECT AL PASTOR BURRITO! flavorally, texturally, monetarily... a perfect al pastor burrito. i highly recommend the burrito con todo (with everything in it), at least once, because I don't ever like pineapple in my savory food.... but i do here!! every element works together to create a flavor explosion, every element maintains its individual texture-- the crunchiness of the pork, the silkiness of the refried beans, the chewiness of the tortilla. and for only $16! the portion size is generous I usually get 2 meals out of it as well. As for the restaurant space, it is un-airconditoned, but there is seating outside, and the space is super cute and welcoming, very low key. And the service is great, the cooks and people working the register are super helpful and polite. read more

Chicken Quesedilla was good but is just not a big portion. Most of the staff were friendly. Their guacamole tasted fresh and was delicious. read more

Tasting Taqueria al Pastor was one of those really chaotic and shameful trips where if you watched me push these tacos into my mouth while sitting in my car, I'm sorry. The pastor and asada tacos were both great and I'd rank them just below Tacos el Bronco and Taqueria Ramirez. I owe the line chef an apology because I had no idea the system of ordering and kept answering his questions from across the room instead of speaking to him from across the counter. To spare you, reader, from embarrassment, you order at the register (including tortilla choice) and then slide down to the left to let the next person know what toppings you'd like--similar to Los Tacos No 1. The guac-type sauce on the asada taco was surprisingly really good, like a pureed ripe avocado. Something on the plate was also a bit on the spicy side but it was warmly welcomed. Everything tasted great, probs my third or fourth favorite taqueria in BK/MH but unfortunately my single-layered corn tortillas fell apart due to the meat juices. read more

Yummy in my tummy! If you must know I'm a sucker for a good taco, and baby they did not disappoint. Thanks to a suggestion from a fellow Yelper I ventured here and I must say I'm a true fan. The proteins were flavorful and fresh and the hot sauce gave the perfect kick without being overpowering. I can see myself venturing here pretty often when I'm craving Mexican. read more

I found myself in Bushwick again this week and decided to try a taco spot that I had saved a while ago on my maps. This taco spot was recommended in a Reddit thread by multiple people who live in the area, so I had to give it a go. The space is pretty inviting and decorated and typical Mexican fashion, with colorful tiles and music blasting. I think there is window seating where you can sit down and enjoy your meal, but the vibe is mostly take out. One of the first things I noticed, is the masa and tortilla press. They make the tortillas fresh in house, which is so cool.. I ordered the Carne Asada tacos and the Pollo Asada tacos with an Horchata. My food came out pretty quick and the cashier was friendly. Tacos were delicious, meat filling was generous. I asked for all the toppings, so they did not skimp. I do think the salsa Verde could've been a little more spicy. Another annoying thing was that every time I took a bite there was liquid all over me. I think the meat needs to grilled a little bit on the grill before hitting the tortilla. Horchata was tasty, not too sweet and perfectly balanced, but I would've liked it taste more cinnamon coming through. Overall, this was a great pitstop in my busy day and if you're in the area to check them out! read more

Wow! What an amazing spot! Did not expect the service to go that far beyond, fast--attentive and friendly-- this is the go-to spot of bushwick, I always make a point to stop at this authentic taco spot whenever I'm close. In a city full of inauthentic plain tacos *ahem* No. 1 tacos *ahem* Make the trek to BK to try something really, especially the kind service and design of Bushwick's best! read more

I am a big fan of this establishment. Feels not too heavy, high quality, clean, and authentic. Open late! If you're in the neighborhood it's an excellent option. read more

This is my absolute FAVORITE place in Bushwick for Tacos and Burritos. I've been coming here for years!!!! I will continue to for now, however, I just post this as a WARNING to ALL and to shame them for their disgraceful behavior. If you go there and are getting a to go order and you don't tip them, they automatically put the tip on your card. They are SHADY. So if you don't pay attention and catch it, they've thrown 20+ percent tip on your bill. I do tip there on occasion, however, it's usually in cash in there multiple TIP Jars, but when I literally go in there, on my way home after now drinking for one chicken taco, I don't always leave them a tip. I prefer to leave the tip in cash and not on my card. WOW I wonder how many times they've scammed and robbed me without me knowing on my card and I've still left them cash. So now, they've gotten a card and cash tip. SCAMMERS! Good thing for me I was paying attention, but the sad thing is is so many people are going in there after being out drinking late at night and aren't paying attention and they're being robbed. Yes, robbed by this establishment and these shady cashiers. Is the management aware of this? Does the management know that these cashiers are ripping off their loyal customers?! They oughta be ashamed of themselves and it's disgraceful that they're doing this. I actually witnessed them do it to a guy last week and he got upset and made the manager takeoff the tip, but I thought it might've been his error until it happened to me tonight. So now going forward, I will be damned if they ever get a tip from me again they'll be lucky if I even go back in there. It saddens me because I've been a patron of them for years and it's a shame if I don't go back. read more

I've been on a New York taco bender because my favorite celebrity, internet daddy Pedro Pascal, threw down the gauntlet when he said New York doesn't have any good Mexican food. We first discovered this place on Netflix's taco chronicles. Located in a trendy part of Brooklyn near the gentrified part of Bushwick, there is nothing gentrified about this traditional street taco spot located in a Latin/Mexican neighborhood. And in my opinion, the original location is the best! You can choose from an array of tacos, quesadillas, gringas, tostadas, and rice plates. Prices are super cheap! I got the Al pastor taco with corn tortilla. It was one of the best Al pastor tacos I've had. Pineapple was juicy and pork tender and moist. I also had the carne asada quesadilla with the flour tortilla, and the same thing--dripping with juices and flavor! I got both with all the toppings--onion, cilantro, radish, cucumber, etc., and they were all fresh and crisp! Service was fast and everyone was so nice! Some of them were singing in Spanish. Great vibe. Small space, but bright and open, with several tall stools for seating. I guess Pedro has just proved, no one, not even the internet daddy, is perfect. read more

It is a small place in Bushwick, a few seats along the wall, but really more of a take out place. I ordered two al pastor tacos, a carnitas taco, and a carne asada taco. I opted for corn tortillas for all, though they do have flour tortillas if that's your thing. The tacos were all fine. Not bad. Pretty good. The carne asada had good flavor but was a little wetter here vs. how it's normally dry at other places. I noticed that they were all quite spicy. I'd still give the edge to Los Tacos No. 1 and Taqueria Ramirez and even Yellow Rose for most delicious NYC tacos, but they're not bad here. Service is as follows: you order and pay at the counter then they give you a number and you wait for them to make your dishes and they call your number and then you take it. Sodas and other drinks are in a fridge in the back. This place was featured on "Taco Chronicles" on Netflix. read more

My friends and I travelled to the Bushwick area just for these tacos. I heard such great things about this place and it really lives up. We had to get the al pastor tacos -- it's in the name. The toppings making the tacos extremely flavorful. I love how they put so many pieces of pineapple to sweet up each bite. What really caught our attention was the quesadilla -- talk about flavorful. The salsa is tooooo good. We ordered the chicken quesadilla and it blew all of our minds. Super big portion too. The restaurant is in the smaller side, but you probably won't stay here for too long anyway because you'll be devouring everything. The staff are extremely kind and accommodating. Would recommend everyone to come try the food here! read more

This location just got shut down by the health department after racking up a whopping 87 points on inspection. How can they afford to open a second location when they can't afford basic cleaning and temperature controls for the original? You assume most of these taco places aren't that clean, but at least the other ones don't charge $6/taco. I used to think their tacos were really good, but this is the last straw for me. read more

I was craving tacos and this place really hit the spot! It's a small store in bushwick and they make their own corn tortillas. I got: Al pastor tacos on corn tortilla (con todo): 4.5/5 Really good flavor! The only reason its 4.5 and not 5 is because it was a lot spicier than I expected. But if you can handle spice, it shouldn't be a problem. Carne asada tacos on corn tortilla (con todo): 5/5 Also had really good flavor and I could taste the char from the grill. For all the tacos we got, they gave a good amount of meat and loaded on the toppings. Horchata 4/5 A lot of cinnamon flavor but a tad too sweet for my taste. I would recommend this with the al pastor because it helps with the spice. I would definitely come here again and try other menu items read more

I have been meaning to come by this restaurant because of my deep love for carne asada and pollo asado tacos. I heard this was the place in Brooklyn for the real Taqueria sabores I usually drive to the city for (its a really tasty local chain that shall remain nameless). The staff was friendly and music filled the air, as the line cooks crooned. I love it. The are a few stools along the wall counter/tables. It's cute little space is located directly across from Wyckoff hospital, so i know they stay busy. Let me tell you, cabron, they did not disappoint! The horchata was sweet, with the hint of tangy I love and the tacos were fantastic! Freshly made tortillas, well marinated meats, fresh, salsa, guacamole, onions y cilantro. They had cucumbers in the box (at real spots, it's either cukes or radishes) adding the extra freshness & crunch to the filling. Everything tasted homemade and I'm making myself go home instead of spinning the block for another order. I'll definitely be back! read more

TLDR: Some of the best tacos you'll have in NYC! Taqueria al pastor is no frills restaurant with limited indoor seating in Brooklyn. But don't be fooled by the exterior, they serve some of the best tacos, gringas and volcano's I've ever had! I highly recommend trying the different types of offerings and sampling the meats to see whats your favorite. The Al Pastor and Carne Asada were especially juicy and flavorful! read more

This is the second best Pastor burrito I've had in NY. This place is the real deal. There's a smokiness in the salsa that I've only experienced in California. If I had to guess, they make their salsa in a molcajete, which is a rare detail for NY spots. Will add to this in the future. DoorDash and I bout to run it up. read more

Extremely overpriced and numerous health violations. Sad because the steak burrito used to be one of my favorites.
