MarcJune 12, 2014Tasting Table Top 10 Tacos: "huevos a la Mexicana are made w/scrambled eggs are cradled in slightly doughy flour tortillas w/slow-cooked peppers, caramelized onions & house-made tomatillo salsa"
All the tacos are good. All the sauces are very spicy. I have no reason to believe the fire safety is anything less than excellent. What more could you ask for?
Stacey StewartNovember 9, 2014Such an interesting and unique set up in this restaurant. The VW van where the tacos are made is a really cute addition. The food was good and reasonably priced.
Arjun RamOctober 1, 2018Amazing options. Avacado tostados & sweet potato/bean 🌮 with watermelon 🍉 juice is amazing!!
The only move with these mini tacos is to separate each tortilla and split the contents - instantly double your order for free! 3 tacos is the perfect amount for lunch.
$3.50+ for a taco is kind of ridiculous especially since these are some tiny tacos BUT they are pretty damn good and the Michelada was one of the best ive had.. alambre, fish and roast pork combo BOOM- Fancy a cold and refreshing beer? Get a Chelada! Beer, ice, lime juice and a salt rimmed glass... like a Michelada except no hot sauce in this one.
Christian DickmannFebruary 6, 2017Puerco de pasilla was superb. Pollo quesadilla was excellent too. and the interior is a hit. I will be back for sure!
Matthew FergusonMarch 18, 2017This place is outstanding. The Pollo Adobo and the Beef Piccadillo tacos are the best. The margaritas are also great, and I'm very particular about margaritas.
If it's your first time, go with a crispy fish taco and a breakfast chorizo. If you've been before, just work your way down the list – everything's awesome.
Mexican street cart inspired decor and food. Best fish tacos from the inside of a VW Bus with delicious freshly made sodas and sangria
Adam DJuly 11, 2016Try all of the tacos they are the best you will find anywhere. Jalapeño sauce is the best.
Attention Foursquare employees! If you get this tip as a Pilgrim ping, do me a favor and grab screenshot! And then find me after lunch and tell me you got it! (anyone else, ping me @dens - thx!)
Talia FisherSeptember 27, 2014Definitely get the crispy fish taco and sparkling sangria. I don't really love sangria but I loved this one. Also, the breakfast tacos are huge.
RefikMarch 14, 2016This is heaven :) fish tacos, guacamole and lemon grapefruit margaritas are my favorite. Number one taco place in NY
Ryan CampbellMarch 27, 2018Great atmosphere, love the outdoor small side street in mexico feel. The quesadillas are a better value than the tacos in my opinion.- Jessica ANovember 7, 2014Sometimes a long wait but what an amazing place. Love the food, drinks, and environment. Come with a group of just a friend. Top notch.
Sabrina WangJuly 9, 2015good to come on weekdays with a shorter wait. good veggie tacos too and the breakfast taco is delicious.
- Christian DickmannFebruary 14, 2017Had to come back, so good! Tried all tacos this time. Get beef picadillo, barbacoa and of course puerco de pasilla.
Polina WeitzSeptember 22, 2021Great tacos, and fun vibe with the van inside. Seating is a bit crowded, and service can be slow. But overall, a great spot. Especially for groups.
Josephine SonOctober 18, 2012Love love this place!! My favs were crispy fish & pork. Mgmt is so lovely, gave us a free tostada just so we could taste it. Officially my fav taco place in NYC!
Use all of the hot sauces. All of them. Order two tacos; I prefer crispy fish & barbacoa but it's literally impossible to go wrong.
Jesse LaneMay 12, 2017All about that fried fish taco, but you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The margaritas are also nice and strong.
Andrew CMay 31, 20142 tacos is the right amount! They come with 4 tortillas and plenty to fill them. Don't miss the guac and all the sauces!
Kaylee CampbellMarch 21, 2013I'm going to fantasize about that chorizo breakfast taco for a loooong time. I wanted to order as many more as I could physically get inside my body. The interior is romantic, the servers sweet. ★★★★★
Kelsey LeeMay 30, 2014The pollo adobo and chips and guac are all excellent, but don't forget to add every kind of chipotle sauce they have! Hibiscus chipotle!? Unreal.
Fergus GallagherOctober 28, 2014Me and my girlfriend are vegetarian, and there options are so fresh and the micheladas were great. Awesome!
Jen ShinMarch 8, 2015really delicious tacos! wish they werent sold out of the crispy fish, but i'll definitely be back to try it!
KaijaJune 2, 2013Two types of taco are *more* than enough for a hungry customer (tip: use both tortillas to get two tacos out of one)--but be sure to get the esquites, if even to share!
- Solène MaîtreNovember 5, 2014Get the fish tacos. If you love this place. go to Fonda on 7Av in Park Slope, you will love it more.
Sam WinnickJuly 13, 2015Best tacos!! Great vibes, cool spot and amazing food. Get the barbacoa tacos!
Marie PorrasApril 16, 2019Staff is super nice. Tacos are excellent. Really cute deco and ncie atmosphere.
Carolyn TOctober 23, 2012Split guac and corn esquites with a friend and then get the crispy fish and pastor tacos. I wanted to like their Michelada, but couldn't get past the Worcestershire sauce - get Carto Blancho.
Nitzan BJuly 16, 2017Cutest place and awesome guac! Mark your order with pencils on the paper menu and be sure to get the margarita pitcher- Lears FoolNovember 23, 2015Yes the tacos are great, but the ambiance is FTW. I felt like I was outside of Austin, TX. Get a Michelada for a new beer experience.
Avyanka HernandezJanuary 27, 2013So happy we found this place. It feels like you left NYC when you walk through the door. Must order the short rib taco and the crispy fish taco!
Alessandro WürglerMay 3, 2018Worth the wait, the tacos are super fresh and made to order. 🌮 Can’t go wrong with any of their choices.
Clara EloyApril 3, 2022Kinda disappointed. The avocado tostada is absolutely amazing but it’s the only thing that blew me away. Maybe I need to try the whole menu but the soft tacos were dry and not mind blowing
Lisbeth LazalaSeptember 18, 2015The crispy fish taco is easily the best thing on the menu. The hibiscus sauce is really good too.
Best tacos outside of Ciudad de México. Get al pastor for most classic, maiz for sweet 'n creamy, crispy pescado to give you LIFE. Don't forget agua de sandia.
BettyJanuary 25, 2014Go early before the club-like crowds and you can grab a yummy inexpensive dinner. $18 = corn esquites, pork belly taco, fried fish taco.
John BoothJuly 7, 2016Awesome Mexican taco restaurant, with an outdoor but indoor feel. Get the Barbacoa and Puerco de Pasilla tacos.
Heather FameSeptember 17, 2014The aguas fresas are good here. They are the real deal coming from a girl who lived in El Paso, TX. Good food and great fun atmosphere by little Italy.
FreyaMarch 27, 2019Yummy tacos and a fun atmosphere. Stop by here for margaritas before visiting Joe’s Pub 🌮 🍸
Greg RazzanoApril 9, 2016Amazing atmosphere, good quality food. They upsell their alcohol and appetizers really well, so be aware of that if you're on a budget.
BenJanuary 21, 2015Go here in the summer and get a good drink and sit by the street. Have some tacos and enjoy the weather and people watching.
CompassMay 20, 2014It’s not everyday you see a taco truck inside a restaurant, but never question the affordable, authentic, and delicious Mexican bites from Tacombi’s trademark old-school Volkswagen.
