Unmissable! The atmosphere is great, service is good, food is delicious! Everything is made in-house, even the tortillas , and right in front of you. Go, now!

Ben Mackey

Excellent place to take a group. Call in advance to reserve , and make sure to get the tuna tostada and al pastor .

New York Post

The new space evokes the traditional taquerias of Mexico City and adds authentic breakfast dishes to the menu, including eggs tinga ($14) and huevos rancheros ($11). Read more

Kay Teo

They make their own corn tortillas in house- and from freshly ground corn , not just corn flour! You can smell it when you walk in. Cool environment. Fresh juices are great, so are the homemade salsas

Alex Rainert

The Gringa Madison taco is really outstanding and the Sonoran Shrimp taco is so damn spicy , you'll want to take a cold shower when you finish it.

Jess Naldo

Love Tacombi Nolita but heard iffy things. Honestly & surprisingly loved my Al Pastor & Crispy Fish tacos + the deliciously cheesy corn quesadilla . Cute spot and great for a quickie -- meal that is ;)

Sumeet Shah

You know the food is authentic because the owner grew up slinging tacos on the Yucatan Peninsula. Too many wonderful things to say about here besides you'll see me here at least 3x/week.

Tony Xerri

Cant go wrong with the crunchy fish taco . And the chilli relleno was insane as well because I had no idea it comes in taco form. Well done sir. Well done...

"Taco Tuesday , all day, all for under $5 a pop. The Al Pastor taco is my favorite, but their special tacos are always great too." - Alexa Mehraban, @EatingNYC Read more

Cole Kennedy

Tastiest fancy tacos in the city . Get the crispy fish and some others. Don't you dare forgot that Black Gold spicy oil . Also: guacamole for the table.

Kimmie Ohh

Order the chile relleno taco , the baja crispy fish taco & the al pastor taco . They have some online only specials like their burritas (not burritos ) & tortas .

Lindsay Brooke

Atmosphere and vibe A+, tacos B+. Go for cheap tacos . Definitely get the famous taco , as well as the guac . Really fun spot to go with a fun group.

Jaimee Estreller

Great for after-work drinks and dins with friends. My go-to: michelada , chips & guac for the table, esquites , and a crispy fish taco . If I'm still hungry, then the carnitas taco too.

Joy Tchamitchian

Amazing tacos !!!!! the best in NYC. The service was perfect and very fast. It's a great fun place for dinner and lunch and the staff is very friendly . love all the tequilas ....!!!!!

Eric Tash

Omg. Very hard to find authentic Mexican in NYC. Huge space , didn't have to wait on a Friday night. Incredibly attentive wait staff too. Can't wait to go back. Btw, get the corn !!

Max Sklar

I usually go with the Baja crispy fish . The breakfast carne (steak and eggs ) is a good one! It’s more of a breakfast burrito .

Veronique V

Great tasty tacos -- get three for a full meal. I'm a sucker for all things al pastor and it doesn't disappoint. Service is generally really quick but the wait times can be brutal.

Rami Massoud

Beautiful open space , and everything here is great. The fresh made corn tortillas are excellent and I can't come here without getting the Baja Crispy Fish taco

Ben Siekmeier

The margaritas are good, the spiked horchata , and the 'rubia' (watermelon juice , tequila , and lime ). Tacos are awesome and the atmosphere is swanky in the most lighthearted way.

Tim Deng

You will not find much better Mexican food around here! Get the shrimp & fried fish tacos

Whitney Fishman

The food comes out fast so be ready. Any Fresca is delicious and the tacos are 1 per order so mix and match! The chips and guac are fresh and on point.

Oz Lubling

My favorite taco place in the city . These tacos are incredibly delicious. Try the crispy fish ,quesadilla with corn and the black bean and sweet potato .

Daniel McDonough

The chorizo verde toluca and the baja crispy fish tacos are really good. Tacos are small so get 3-4 different ones to try.

MrsCorkster

Possibly the best Palomas I've had. Fantastic tacos , lively atmosphere that transport you to Mexico City . Service could be better though.

Ms Helene

Guac with homemade sauces $12 and corn esquites with cheese and lime $7. Shrimp taco was dry $7. Fresh juices $7. Good service and atmosphere

Alec Jarvis

Amazing guac and the al pastor tacos in particular are amazing. Try all the various sauces/salsas.

Raphael Langenscheidt

The vibe, music , decorations all work. The food leaves a bit of room for improvement. Still - this place does make you forget you're in NYC, which is a huge compliment.

Jason Brew

Really great Mexican place as all the Tacombi locations are. Good cocktail list as well ! Try the Mezcal Mule

Ernesto Gutierrez

Grab a monopolio negra beer and enjoy tacos al pastor , Berkshire pork carnitas , Acapulco shrimp and the gringa quesadilla . You just can’t go wrong here.

Giorgio Auguadro

Guys is a must if you like tacos !!Amazing different choices of tacos !!The tequila mezcal is awesome!!Service very fast and they are friendly !!

Jennifer C

Yummy tacos , great drinks and good ambiance!! Good pick for an afterword bite! ***Cinco de Mayo prices vary!

Vanessa Peña

Esquites & Carnitas taco !!

Andy Braunston

Do the guacamole for sure, then hot cakes & spiked horchata ! Such friendly staff too, love the vibe. Very stroller friendly :)

Chez Ong

Puerco Toluca is amazing. Crispy fish is the better fish taco . The al pastor was underwhelming. The guac is crazy good too.

Honghui Yu

The lobster and fish tacos were delicious. Lobster was a little overpriced though - $17.50 and it has less lobster than a lobster roll . Also got the rice and beans, which were surprisingly dry.

gee

Went with a large group and we really enjoyed ourselves. The food and drinks were delicious and the service was great! Will definitely return.

Cara Friedman

Generally love this place. Had one sub-par taco but the management was SO accommodating. Very impressed with service/management. Will be back 100%.

Lori Luo

Pricey Mexican food in a loud environment? Check. Try the Al Pastor Taco , and be sure to share the Salt Cod Tostones and Guacamole to start.

Julie

Generous portions of guacamole , and the al Pastor is a favorite. Good atmosphere, if a little loud . The juices are delicious, too!

Elizabeth Burstein

Nice family style tacos and soup

Camilla C

The best agua frescas around... I love the sandia (watermelon ) and piña (pineapple ). Might be better than some of their tacos .

Bjoern Weidlich

The crispy fish tacos are the bomb. Also get the guacamole . Haven't had much luck with the cocktails though.

Caroline Chung

Same owners as Tacombi (Nolita) Lobster tacos - pricey (market price $15 each) but totally delicious! Ceviche was also yummy. Horchata was a little too sweet.

Amber

Good spot for groups and sharing. Tasty guacamole and simple, straightforward menu with something for everyone.

Kelsey Lee

The decorations and little bar are adorable. The tacos aren't as good as at tacombi, and there's less of a selection, but fun place to go with friends for a drink and a snack .

Anna Santiago

This place is a great example of nyc irony. Decorations and $4-$6 for one taco . redeeming factor is their hot sauces .

Ira Ineshina

My best experience in NYC. Service, interior and cocktails are just priceless.

Annie Park

They always ask if you want to to start with guacamole and chips - it's over $11, say no if you don't want it!

John Cline

The breakfast taco with carne is by far the best choice
