LorenJuly 27, 2015I love the ambiance at this sit-down taco joint. Hip, colorful, tasty. If you're drinking, try the michelada - a spicy beer-based concoction they do well. I get the veg or fish tacos, never disappointUpvoted Sep 24
FaithAugust 25, 2016Really cool authentic taco place- I loved the fun decor and the taco truck cash register! It's $6 per taco and they are really small. You end up spending a lot for a little & they don't come w chips
Simon KratzerJanuary 30, 2017Get the tortillas with guacamole as an appetizer. A bit pricy, but the Tacos are amazingly good.
Everything about this place is great...crispy fish tacos or bust. Also fantastic jams. 10/10 would eat here again 👌
AmateurConciergeJuly 20, 2015So I was wrong or my NYC Mexican expectations have tempered, but these are some of the best tacos downtown. Crispy fish, chorizo & egg stand out...plus the fun atmosphere and reasonable price.
Fabian MartinApril 3, 2022Honestly disappointed. Tacombi used to be my favorite Mexican spot in the city. Now a lot of the tacos are just meat on a shell. The avocado one however is still perfect
Alex PyatetskySeptember 3, 2018Loved. Real mexican Times and flavors with great ingredients. Chilango, barbacoa, carnitas all amazing. Only miss is al pastor, skip that. Jalapeño salsa is amazing.

Skinny Girl EatsJuly 1, 2016Mouthwatering Tacos.Horchata is a great drink to go with their spicy sauces. Their chips are on point. Really cool space, perfect for parties or large groups. Don't miss out on this dining experience.
Carly HeitlingerFebruary 11, 2015Fresh pressed juices that will make your mouth water for literally days afterward and some of the best tacos in the city. I recommend the corn (omg, the corn), two tacos, and a juice!
Justin McKissickJuly 14, 2016Coolest. Taqueria. Ever. Bringing the outside inside made for a unique and memorable meal. Like everyone says, get the fish tacos, but try a bit of everything!
Fatima Al HashimiAugust 11, 2019Absolutely love the atmosphere & staff are super nice. Crispy fish taco was the bomb. Have it with the corn & watermelon juice.
A "combi" is a Volkswagen Type 2 bus: made in Puebla and ubiquitous in Mexico until the mid-90s. I rode the back of a combi to pre-school every day; now you can watch your tacos made inside one.
Genco Orkun GencJuly 7, 2015You asked for it and I tried it :) Micheladas, fish tacos and corn esquites. Combined with hip atmosphere and cool vibes. This place is a winner.
One of my fave places for mexican food in the city. Solid guac, with nice portion size. All tacos are great, esp the breakfast tacos, try chorizo and egg on soft flour tortilla.
Rose AhnNovember 27, 2013Love the casual vibe & the tacos! The guacamole con totopos is awesome - perfect homemade crunch, and the corn esquites is yummy w/out the mess of eating corn off the cob (& not as small as they say).
Humayun RashidAugust 12, 2013Probably the best tacos I've had in NYC hands down. Get the pork belly and crispy fish tacos. Split the tortilla shell to make 2 into 4 tacos. The sauces are also delicious. Habanero is spicy!
Amy ChenJuly 8, 2015The tacos were pretty delicious. I definitely want to go back to try the ceviche. I love the way the place was decorated. Good for dates and friends.
Ngan NguyenOctober 5, 2016Fantastic atmosphere and delicious tacos! The corn esquites were to die for! The corn chips and guacamole starts/sides are generous. Great place!
- Chad HornerDecember 5, 2015corn esquites are the highlight: creamy, spicy, and citrusy with a subtle smoky flavor, one order is more than enough for two to share - if you're willing
The Corcoran GroupAugust 19, 2013Small Mexican joint in Nolita that serves up amazing tacos - we especially love tacos al pastor. The best part: tacos are served in corn tortillas, so your gluten-free friends can still enjoy!
Edwina McGregorJuly 22, 2017Extremely fast service, chill vibes and awesome decor. The crispy fish taco is a definite highlight.
- allisonSeptember 30, 2014When you see a taco shop slinging tacos out of a retro VW van with a pineapple bienvenidos sign, you stop and get a taco. No questions asked.
I could live on a diet of crispy fish tacos and oro negro sauce.
Adam RobbinsJune 14, 2016Don't fuck around, get the tacos – hot and greasy, much like the hour long que for a table. Where else you gonna go, some back-street taco truck? Please.
- Journey City GuidesAugust 3, 2017A taste from the streets of Mexico in this relaxed taqueria with its quirky decor complete with a Volkswagen combi where tacos are served
Peggy LiMarch 22, 2018The "huevos con chorizo" breakfast taco is amazing and a perfect level of "slightly spicy." Larger than a taco / about the size of a small burrito, it's the right size if you're moderately hungry.
Lina AgapitouFebruary 26, 2023If you are a fan with Mexican food don t miss it! Friendly stuff,prices quiet good and excellent indoor view!
Njoud FahadNovember 30, 2018Ahh! This place is amaziiiiiing! The atmosphere the hosts and the food is so delicious with good vegan options!
Darlene RJuly 16, 2016Horchata was very refreshing on a hot steamy day. Watch the red sauce... it was REALLY spicy. Fish tacos were yummy with avocado crema. Corn with Chipotle mayo was addicting.
İpek A.April 23, 2016Tacos are delicious. I recommend you crispy fish, steamed fish and veggie tacos. Btw service is very quick which is good.
Matt DohertyJuly 2, 2012Everything about this place from the food, the drinks and the interior- it's so well designed. Get the two types of fish tacos and try all the sauces on the table. Some of the best tacos in NYC
Perf. Taco. Spot. Personal favs are the crispy fish taco and the pollo adobo. Complete the meal with fresh sandia (watermelon juice). Atmosphere is darling and authentic.
So incredibly good. The corn is 2nd best on block but that's only bc cafe habana is down street. Corn is much easier to eat though as its off the cob. Don't leave here without a spicy fish baja style
At lunch time, take a comfortable seat at a high-top table and indulge in a delicious array of tacos. Fish are especially tasty. (note: 1 taco order can be 2 if you split the tortillas)
Quinton MaFebruary 29, 2016Don't come in two tortillas anymore :(. Expensive tacos but if you have to eat tacos in Manhattan/nolita, this (or el presidente) is where to go. Crispy fish tacos and a side of corn is the moves.
Josue EvillaApril 16, 2017Fantastic spot with fun decor. Excellent guacamole 🥑. Delicious soft shell tacos. And a great selection of refreshing drinks. I'm a sucker for the sandia juice 🍉.
Being from the west coast, my standards for legit Mexican food are pretty high. This place exceed them. Try the esquites, the pork taxis and of course the guacamole. Skip the tea, go for a marg.
MarionNovember 10, 2014I go out of my way to visit this place whenever I'm in town. Either of the fish tacos - veracruzean or crispy - will treat you right. Wash them down with a glass of horchata.
Carl FigueiredoNovember 10, 2015Tacos are of the off-the-hook variety. Favs are the puerco de pasilla tacos and the chips/guacamole. They do a great mezcal mule as well.
AliciaDecember 2, 2014Each taco comes with two corn tortillas which you can easily make two tacos with! Great chips with guac, chips are thick and remind me of Juanita's chips from the west coast.
Ingvild M. PlosivOctober 21, 2014I'm a fan. This place has soul. Great service, great concept, great and spicy food, great beer. Really truly recommend.
ShahAugust 19, 2015The Paloma is one of the best cocktails I've ever had. Their tacos are unbeatable too, can't go wrong here.
Ernesto GutierrezAugust 27, 2016The Ground beef and the pork tacos are the way to go. Crispy fish tacos get an honorable mention. You cannot beat the place's amazing laid back ambiance.
Francis UdlerJune 28, 2012Great place! Loved the corn esquites. Also good to know that each taco comes with two tortillas and a lot of meet so one taci can be turned onto two :) Best taco is the crispy ensenada fish
Avoid the table under the skylight when it's raining! Also, eat as many tacos as you can. Crispy fish and shrimp are the best.
Favorites: crispy fish, short rib, huevos con chorizo, maiz y poblano. Make two tacos by spreading the fillings into the two tortillas provided and try a bunch with a friend.
Definitely get chips & guac to share with the table. Also, can't go wrong with the crispy fish taco & pork belly tacos. Lastly, try all the sauces on the table!
Leah SchallerMarch 29, 2015The fresh pressed juices and tacos are great. But the atmosphere is even better! This is a summer day kind of place.
