Sajid MehmoodApril 26, 2013I usually need to go to a place a few times before I'll save it to my "NYC Favorites" list, but this was an instant classic. The quesadillas here are more like large crispy tacos and they're amazing.
Deej RatnaniOctober 8, 2015First time here, the guy recommended the barbacoa the chorizo, lengua and AL pastor. I'd rate em in that order and all of them were pretty damn good, except for AL pastor. That was decent
Serious EatsApril 23, 2013Barbacoa: tender, moist shreds of goat that are relatively mild as far as goat goes, but you might find yourself with a couple of gamey bites here and there.
Time Out New YorkAugust 1, 2011Try the cheap and satisfying Suadero taco here: Chewy, charred slices of brisket are pepped up with a mix of onion, cilantro and guacamole. It's one of NYC's 26 best tacos! Read more
If you're looking for a snack at 1am on a Sunday, this is the spot. Currently located at 2nd and A.
Juan CruzJanuary 20, 2016Lengua (Beef tongue) and Barbacoa (Goat) tacos are great. Try saying "Hola Primo" (Oh-la pree-moh) before ordering for better service.
Tim VetterJune 16, 2011The picada I got for $3 came on a handmade tortilla, was heaped w toppings, and bursting w flavor. Mexican food that's so superior to the stuff from the current wave of NY hipster taquerias.
Hakeem BilalApril 11, 2012Tinga. Cecina. Tacos. Quesadillas. The only four things you need to know. I'm nominating them for best drunk food in nyc, Hell best anytime food, period.
Try the goat meat, but you can't go wrong with anything else. Great prices and open all night for those last minute food runs.- Nate BeattyJanuary 18, 2016Proving that the best tacos can also sometimes be the cheapest and are always from a cart.
Absolutely hooked on the Steak Tacos. Flavorful, juicy and consistent. If I'm in the area I'm there!
Lauren MacAugust 21, 2015Cheap, quick, and tasty. What more are you looking for from a night time street vendor?
Geneva AuduongAugust 2, 2013Suadero tacos all the way! Get more than you think because you won't be able to stop eating.
New York HabitatDecember 14, 2011Really cheap and flavorful mexican food comes from this truck. Try not to miss out on the barbacoa, just don't be sad if they're out of it, it's a quick seller.
The al pastor taco with little pineapple chunks might be my favorite.
Annie BJanuary 17, 2013Tacos Morales is my absolute favorite spot for authentic mexican. And it's extremely affordable!
The funny thing is that I try to give Taqueria LES my business, but they're always closed. Morelos is just as delicious, if not more so.
Best Cemitas I've ever had. Hands down. Do not forget to tip :)
Thomas WoodJuly 25, 2012Best chorizo tacos in the city. Not a moving target, it is 24/7 at ave a and 2nd.
Johnny LanciaMarch 17, 2011Finally! Good Mexican food in NYC! Chorizo anything is good here. Also. GOAT TACOS are the BOMB!!!!!!!!
Ari SternOctober 22, 2012Tacos de lengua are dope. Don't sleep on the chorizo either, but not as good as @culturefix
Rock RainesNovember 21, 2016Regretting getting this pathetically tiny burrito. Prob better off getting 3 tacos for the same price.
Look no further for a quick cheap bite on the go. They're so fast you may not have to stop walking
Lengua tacos are things of beauty. Best new addition to the EV/LES in ages.
I have no idea how that flavor comes out of that small cart, but wow. Tortas are incredible for $5.
Protip: Squirt the lime on your taco, not in your eye.
