Oh man, I own a business around the corner from el luchador and I am obsessed. The grilled Mexican corn , their quesadillas , sitting in an RV with lively music . Such a unique spot in NYC. I love it.

Ranu Rajkarnikar

Tacos on point not to mention everything else. A little airstream trailer, friendly staff & outdoor seating complete the picture. Try the short rib , steak or carnitas . Then back to your desk for a nap

Jin Moon

The fish cod taco and the carne asada and it was pretty good. I love the crunchiness of the cod and the freshness of the tortilla . Double tortilla is free.

Susan S.

Really tasty and cheap tacos ! I love their chicken tacos with guacamole . There is a cool old school bus that has seating in it parked just outside that is fun to eat in.

Lindsay S

Socal caliber fish tacos - lightly beer-battered with your choice of addicting hot sauces . Great burritos too. Enjoy from the cozy decorated airstream trailer out front ????

Cindy T

If you order anything but tacos here, you're a fool. BEST TACOS EVER!! The short ribs and steak tacos are my faves. Be sure to request (free) double tortilla ; otherwise, they can be sloppy to eat.

Meg Farmer

Should have higher ratings as a decent FiDi lunch spot . Super friendly service and adore the cozy atmosphere . Hard to find crispy fish tacos in FiDi, this is one of your better options.

Jess Lau

Kiss ass value for damn solid tacos . And the nachos - one of the best. Grab a seat in the streamer if u can. ????????

ᴡ Elliot

Go for the breakfast burrito and a homemade horchata . We stopped in after a long run, made for a perfect Sunday.

Jen Shin

steak tacos were great! perfectly paired with a pomelo jarritos. also get the elote & guac .

Emily Kane

Hidden little gem in south seaport, warm up on the coldest of days in the heated trailer with some chicken tortilla soup .

Avin Narasimhan

Solid taco takeout spot, grab some food to go and enjoy on the benches out on the east river promenade.

Kimmie Ohh

Get the short rib tacos or the carnitas burrito . Pair either of those with a homemade horchata .

Tantek Çelik

Very good fish burrito salad bowl and the queso is great!

Rob Atkinson

Cute hole in the wall with good tacos and burritos . Get double tortillas on the tacos , they're sloppy (in a good way)

Chris Pollone

Short rib tacos are on point. Grab a quick meal here before or after hitting the Hornblower cruise .

Andrew Gatto

The carnitas burrito was great. I enjoyed it a lot. Cool indoor/outdoor seating areas too

Sam Gil

Salad bowl with the chicken is surprisingly really good

Lauren

Good cod taco . Good guac . Welcomed addition to the neighborhood .

Russell Hirschorn

All the tacos are great, short rib quesadilla very good, sopa good, 3 salsas , service and seating not good. Intercom didnt work so they did nothing... very slow. Horchata not good.

Maneesh N

Amazing tacos - cod , short ribs , pork ...pretty much everything. Great prices too

My new favorite burrito downtown. Eat in the trailer in the parking lot .

Axel Nunez

Love the new look they got! Great lunch special !

Ruby Anaya

Even with no line , if you see anyone waiting somehow you'll wait 15 minutes. If you see a line and people waiting, cut your losses. Also no beer yet ????

heather dougherty

Great spot to grab tacos & burritos

Mark Sherman

Chicken quesadillas and a side of rice and beans are LIFE

Jay S

Lunch special : 3 tacos for $11. Can mix and match with some exceptions.

SUEBOO

Been there for a quick snack !! Fast service !!

David Hernandez III

Seriously amazing tacos . Great lunch deal !

Jacek Grę

Good food but DONT ORDER DELUS ERY FROM HERE. 2hrs Ina. Slow Saturday and we're still waiting for burritos . Best thing is we're a few blocks away. Total BS

Melissa Holtzer-Jonas

Vegetarian burrito was bland, but my son loved their cheese quesadilla . Pico de gallo tasted very fresh.

Vivian Kong

Pretty solid tacos - steak was on point. ???? I'd get 3 of those pls.

Danielle Purslow

Cod Tacos - messy but worth the saucy fingers ????

Ernesto Gutierrez

Disappointed with the quality of the meats. The steak , pork and short ribs were too dry. Their patio is a cool place to hang out during summer.

Honghui Yu

Tacos here are decent but the service is abysmal. Much better food options nearby at smorgasburg.

Samantha Y

Slow service so not a good option for a quick bite during lunch rush. If you gave time, great to sit outside with a beer !

WillMcD

Oh yeah, these tacos are the jam .

Njoud Fahad

The most delicious burritos I’ve ever had

Kate Furman

Sit in the heated airstream !
