Jc TrabolsiJuly 5, 2015A-ma-zing! Totally worth the wait! You'll probably won't find better handmade corn Tortillas outside of Mexico!
Danae SimmonsDecember 14, 2014Best taco I've had in years. Heed recommendations by the guys behind the counter.
Sree RamanOctober 15, 2015The adobada quesadillas are out of the world but you can't go wrong with any order here
This place understands what a real quesadilla is. They just add melted cheese to a taco and dont make it a different dish.- Angelica YoungJune 29, 2015I usually am not a fan of tacos, but the Adobada (pork and pineapples) taco was amazing
Elizabeth BursteinSeptember 5, 2017Really good chicken and steak tacos, horchata, and chips and guacamole
Taco Adobada on a corn tortilla is all you need to know. Add a horchata and live the life.
AndresSeptember 8, 2014Adobada tacos! Amazing hand made tortillas. Incredible carne asada. Get the horchata
Pinar DenizOctober 19, 2014Steak quesadilla and tacos were great! Add the extra spicy dressing and salsa and thank me later :)
Zayed KhanMarch 22, 2015The quesadilla (not the especial) is served open faced, like a taco, but with cheese. It's gooey, and flaky at the same time.- Zayed KhanSeptember 22, 2014Great tacos all around, but the real winner is the quesadilla especial (w/ carne asada)!
Gregory FisherJune 8, 2018Carne asada quesadilla is worth a wait, though the line is actually super fast moving, so no real issue there!
Irakli BibileishviliMay 26, 2015Amazing proper corn tacos, tried both steak and chicken and they blew my mind
Wonderful tacos and a great staff. This is the kind of place you go to weekly.
Eugene KimbergApril 23, 2015Delicious tacos! Try any, they are all good. Or better try all of them ;)
Marquillo SDecember 29, 2014It'S hard to find descent tacos outside mexico. This is a must stop for trully taco lovers
Delicious hidden tacos in Chelsea Market. Go for the adobado on a corn tortilla.
This is the closest you'll get to Tijuana in the city. Adobada quesadilla on flour with everything - trust me.
Brandon KesslerAugust 6, 2014Beef and pork tacos. Also if hungry ask for fried carne asada quesadilla (off menu)
Brian BilboFebruary 11, 2015Get one carne, one pollo and one adobada. Add mexican coke. You'll be as happy as a clam- aJune 24, 2016Excellent adobada tacos, but don't be a gringo and smother them in guacamole. Leave that shit for your tex-mex.
David BaldieJuly 15, 2017Fresh tacos made to order. No seating, soft shell only, horchata available.
Rick NijhuisNovember 12, 2016Enjoyed the fillings and horchata but the tacos themselves, though freshly made, were too thick and flavourless in my opinion.
Camilla SjömanMay 15, 2016Worth to wait in line. Easilly the best mexican food I've tasted in Manhattan!
Zack SheppardJanuary 16, 2020Those adobada tacos are something special... Get 'em with everything on corn tortillas.- Purna RodmanAugust 17, 2015Everything.... they do it right. Only serve a few things, all of it great.
Edwina McGregorFebruary 11, 2018The tacos and quesadillas here are amazing. Just be prepared for mess and no seats.
Quesadilla Especial is a must, try it with everything
- Ted HaennSeptember 14, 2018Love the pork tacos; best out of the chicken, steak and pork. Get it with everything.
THE best tacos in Manhattan. Chicken, flour, everything. Can't go wrong.
Karla ScocozzaSeptember 20, 2013The best tacos I've ever had outside of Mexico!! Al pastor o "adobada" as they called them here.... DELICIOUS!!!!
