Rubina FillionNovember 2, 2013Best chilaquiles in the city. Seriously, you'll regret it if you order anything else.
Christy MommsenFebruary 9, 2014Chicken chilaquiles .... Good god. How can fried nachos not be good? The pork pazole was good, but a little on the sweet side.
Robert PiperApril 28, 2013Chicken Chilaquileas with extra cheese and sour cream.... it will change your life!
Coconut margaritas are astonishingly good, steak chilaquiles will change your life!
AMFebruary 28, 2011Get some chilaquiles or enchiladas and wash them down with a large margarita. Best Mexican food in the neighborhood.
Dani DonAugust 23, 2011Such a fun restaurant! Greatt food, service and atmosphere! Order the sangria ;)
Michael DavisSeptember 22, 2011Mahi, Mahi tacos are great and flavorful and the salsa has a great kick!
Hands down the best Mahi Mahi tacos in the world. Pretty amazing shrimp quesadillas too...
The Sea bass Chilaquile is a bowl-full of AY, CARAMBA! Yo.....ridiculously yummy.
Try the Chicken Chilaquiles - Amazing chilaquiles for brunch.
Looking for a good weekend brunch? Come here - its unbelievable!
Charles Polanco-AliSeptember 9, 2011If you have never had the veggie burrito I highly recommend you try it.
Gingerita is spicy and completely delicious. I go for the large frozen.
Must try the Chilaquiles & Mahi mahi tacos! And their frozen sangria-ita!
MaKs SuslovAugust 22, 2013It's too noisy inside. Loud people and loud music, close room. I had a late dinner here and it was really hard to understand each other. My dish was pretty good, but with sluggish leaves.
Harri ToijalaFebruary 9, 2014Chilaquiles (steak)... They were hyped, but proved to be just that good!
Ask for the steak quesadilla, it's not on the current menu but it's amazing when they make it!
KateFebruary 7, 2010everything is done beautifully - chicken, beef, fish, veg. And spiced perfectly. Ancho chile. Rarr.
Sunny day, margarita, sitting on the patio, people watching on 9th Ave = a perfect spot on a Saturday.

"Very friendly service. Top three are the lamb, cabeza and the pork. Closest thing to LA style tacos I've had so far."

"I try to visit Tacombi whenever I am nearby. I love their Tako, it is delicious. They have outdoor tables which are mostly busy and better to reserve in advance."

"This is my favorite watering home in NYC. It's pretty quiet before 8. But then it comes alive with fun. Great country music and dancing bandits on the bar. What's not to love?"
