Sameepa ShettyJanuary 11, 2015$6.25 shrimp taco is totally worth it. Fresh ingredients and fast service. Grab & continue shopping while in the east village. I love this place tucked inside a market. Must visit.
Best tacos in NYC. Goat, chorizo & potato, and chipotle chicken are musts. Come often and order a lot so they can start a standalone space and you can enjoy these delicious things with margaritas.
Andrew ChoiApril 7, 2013Probably the best taco I've ever had, at least in NYC. Try the chilorio brisket taco, so savory & just simply awesome!
Globetrottergirls DaniJune 2, 2013Fabulous tacos! Not sure how authentic a kale potato taco is but it sure is good! Guacamole was just perfect!!
this place opened in September 2011 and they are doing really well. The owner is very nice, knows his stuff well. You feel like coffee is his thing. This place suits very well for Sunday detox!
Ingrid PanOctober 26, 2012Blue Bottle Coffee and tasty veg friendly options. The guys behind the counter always make you feel welcome even when they're swamped! Grab dessert at Tra La La or Roni Sue's.
Juyeon LeeSeptember 8, 2012Everything I had here was pretty amazing. Guaco taco, braised pork, and the GOAT - you can't go wrong. One of the best tacos I've tasted in NY.
MarcJune 12, 2014Tasting Table Top 10 Tacos: "no one does [the chorizo & potato combination] better. Soft pieces of potato, soaked in spicy chorizo fat under a pineapple salsa & cool crema"
Time Out New YorkAugust 1, 2011Try the Chilorio brisket taco, braised for four hours with ancho chili, garlic and a mix of spices. It's one of NYC's 26 best tacos! Read more
Mary S.February 24, 2013Avoid the rude service at Shopsin's and stop by this stand & try the deliciousness of the Breakfast Taco + Mex-Cola (plus that take Square)
Andrew LitvakOctober 12, 2014Guaco taco is where it's at. The cola-braised pork is also super great.
Kathryn McGinnisFebruary 27, 2011Got the chipotle chicken taco & black bean and cheese tamale... both delicious! Love that the ingredients are imported from mexico - always fresh and yummy :)
Taylor OverbeyApril 27, 2014It's all about breakfast tacos if you feeling a bit hungover from pianos.
Melody HanNovember 6, 2011The Blue Bottle hand drip coffee is delicious. try the el yucateco chile habanero sauce for a vinegary spice kick
Michael 🍷 ElmgreenOctober 17, 2013Top notch tacos. Brisket and guaco are bueno. Serve with a mexicoke!
Meatless MondayOctober 30, 2013Brooklyn Taco offers special vegetarian tacos every Meatless Monday. Guaco Taco anyone?
etta yApril 13, 2013I don't think I've had a meatless day in 3 decades, but I'd gladly live on the kale & potato taco for a week or two.
Chilorio Brisket is now official. Time Out New York says it is one of the best tacos in NYC.
LilaDecember 20, 2010You can't go wrong with anything they make! Everyone around me who ordered wanted more!
Brisket taco is stupid. Do not miss out on the green habanero sauce or you'll be sorry...
The tacos here fulfill gaps in my life previously mended only by $1,000+ shoes.
Gradie OakesNovember 15, 2011Essex St. Market for lunch Tues-Saturday; Chilorio brisket tacos all the way w. a Jarrito to wash it down.
- Guaco taco is a must, especially with the crunch or the raw sweet corn.
- Get the Chipotle Short Rib Taco. The coffee is great too.
