Francisco NoriegaJanuary 5, 2018Basically everything. I'm from Mexico, but have been living in the US for about 7 years (Seattle, San Diego, San Francisco) and this are probably the best tacos I've ever had in the US.
Rubén GarcíaSeptember 23, 2017Off menu items: the quesataco is a taco where the tortilla is fried cheese. It is delicious but a caloric bomb. The vampiro is a tostada. Do not get the special fried quesadilla, easily the worst itemUpvoted Dec 28, 2024
Joshua StehrAugust 7, 2017I had the 3x corn tacos one with steak, one with pork and one with cactus. They were delicious! It was filling and very reasonably priced. Oh and they have the best guacamole as well.
Jeremy WallaceMay 26, 2019The move is to go with the quesadilla, it’s like the taco but with cheese. All meats matter but damnnn... The pork tho?! Get the pork. Seriously my fiancé’s and my favorite tacos/quesadilla ever.
Paola GuerreroSeptember 1, 2017The adobada pork is flavorful without being spicy, as well as juicy and tender. The freshly made corn tortillas are perfect. The closest thing to authentic tacos on the east coast are right here!
Chicken and pork tacos were awesome! A little pricey in general but great price for Times Square area. Will be heading back and often
Flora ChengAugust 5, 2017Brand new location. Must get the pork tacos. They come with pineapples on top.
Three tacos 3.50 each is the best deal right? Wrong ! Get two quesadillas instead for 4.50 each com todo .. they are like big tacos.. get chicken and pork then load up on the salsa .. heaven !
Kimmie OhhSeptember 30, 2019Delicious taco spot! Long line here but it moves quick. Get their adobada & carne asada tacos on a corn tortilla con todo (onions, cilantro, salsa, guacamole). Their especial quesadilla is deep fried.
The tacos are all wonderful — the carne asada is a favorite. Get there before noon on weekdays to avoid a line. Order your food, then take your ticket to whichever staff member is ready.- I felt as if the tacos may have been a little meatier and a little spicier than with previous Los Tacos ventures--a great thing
Aaron PangMarch 9, 2020ESPECIAL QUESADILLA ADOBADA is the one thing you should get here. Tacos are good but this thing is on another level
- Kimmie OhhSeptember 30, 2019Place your order “con todo”& pay. Give receipt to one of the cooks. Wait for deliciousness. Grab lime wedges. Add salsas, radishes & chiles. Find standing communal eating space. Gobble down your food.
Michael AnthonyOctober 25, 2023Lived up to the hype which I am admittedly surprised by. Actually a closer second to taqueria Ramírez than I anticipated! Line moves fast too so don’t be scared off by it- amazing adobada tacos. amazing music. a must-go with someone in town
Excellent, authentic tacos. You’ll think you’re eating at the best taco place in Mexico. That said, I like the “quesadilla” best - I put it in quotes because it’s a regular taco with melted cheese.
Mariana CamillettiApril 28, 2019Guau!!! Greatly surprised by this place. I live in Mexico and will definitely return if in New York. Quesadilla with adobada on flour, con todo (everything on it)
K2September 14, 2017Freshly cooked tacos, can choose flour or corn. Good portion of size and so delicious. Loved it!!!
Adan SalinasNovember 23, 2017Everything was awesome. I try every taco and all of them were delicious. I’ll be back every time im around times square. Just one sugestion - pongan sillas o bancas cabrones!!
These are some of the most authentic street tacos in New York City! Extremely tasty and just steps from Times Square! They are a little spicy, so having a drink handy is recommended.
Angie AldanaFebruary 11, 2018Didn’t believe there could be such an authentic place for tacos in Manhattan but this place really surprised me ❤️ could have this place for lunch every day😋
Johan JohnAugust 5, 2018Basically everything. I'm from Mexico, but have been living in the US for about 7 years (Seattle, San Diego, San Francisco) and this are probably the best tacos I've ever had in the US.
Elizabeth BursteinAugust 16, 2017Delicious chicken and pork tacos! Love their guacamole. Eat fast standing up. The pork tacos w mole were less good. Recommend the chicken and steak next time
monydfnyApril 26, 2019This is as if a real Mexican taquería had been transplanted to NYC. Best tacos in NY, and I have tried many! As a Mexican, I can say these are indeed #1
William ImperialeSeptember 13, 2019Everything is good! Try the corn tortilla even if you normally prefer soft tacos. Both flour and corn tortillas are soft here.
Cholina ArceSeptember 27, 2017mejores tacos de midtown, try "al pastor con todo" also the breakfast burrito ( only in mornings for 4 usd ) and they have vegetarian options ❤️- Kimmie OhhSeptember 30, 2019Theres a bunch of lime wedges at the counter where you pick up your order. Also there are toothpicks & utensils. Another counter is full of salsas (mild, spicy, pico de gallo), radishes, & chile arbol
Nipun JoshiOctober 20, 2019The best taco place in midtown hands down! The salsas are amazing, the toppings are all you can add style, very authentic. Love it!
Angeliki VezirtzoglouApril 4, 2018Very delicious tacos! The chicken was great. We didn’t wait that much to order and the prices were also ok (even thought it’s next to Times Square).
- C SSeptember 18, 2018Tacos are amazing and the guacamole is so fresh! Also love the pineapple Fanta they have
Magdalena WelczSeptember 1, 2019There is a queue, but it goes fast. Tacos are best in NY, surprising given the location! Fast service, good value. Spicy cactus quasa.
- ishaq Haj HasanJuly 3, 2021Food is great. Wouldn't come here if I was really hungry since portions run a little small, but insanely delicious food. Worth the experience.
- Nicole bennettSeptember 21, 2022It is great place to have american fast food.I visited this place with my friends and had great experience. Quality and Quantity was awesome. Taste was yummy. Price is reasonable.
Juan BoloñaDecember 30, 2018My pic is two pork in flour tortilla and two carne asada corn tortilla con todo. Do itttt
- Christopher SchoutDecember 4, 2018That was a revelation. Long lines, but quick, inexpensive, authentic tacos! Yum. Great for a quick bite before theater. Just have some mints!
- Andreas CohenSeptember 6, 2019Hands down it’s the Carne Asana Quesadilla. Memorable! #tacochronicles
Peggy LiAugust 5, 2022The line looks long but moves surprisingly quickly. Tacos were very good and worth the wait!
- Dude get FLOUR not corn tortillas .. you can get corn anywhere .. FLOUR tortillas only appear at the best Mexican spots.. and here they are amazing .. trust me
- Steve LarsonApril 30, 2021We had the chicken, steak and pork tacos with a horchata. All were very good but the pork was fantastic with a taste of pineapple.
Eline Van den EeckhautMarch 20, 2019You’ll have to wait it line but it’s totally worth it! You can wake me up any time for an adobada taco, it’s the absolute best.
Vitamin YiJanuary 24, 2023Probably the best tacos in town. Probably will stand while eating. Probably the longest wait as well.
