    Paratha tacos! One of the best things I have ever put in my mouth. Chicken chorizo was amazing. Brunch tacos, margaritas, and bloody Mary's as well. Will definitely be back.

    Swapping out the tortilla for a buttery, flaky paratha is a stroke of genius. And the fusion-y ingredient combos (like paneer, spinach pesto, fried chickpeas and pickled tomatillos) seal the deal. Read more

    Holy crap this place blew my MIND. I got the pulled pork (yum!) but the all-veg taco was also incredible. Good margarita. Great spot! Note: tacos are not big enough to be a meal, plan to get 2.

    Must tries include the slow roasted pork belly taco (with pickled red cabbage and chipotle mayo) and lamb shoulder marinated with achiote paste from Oaxaca(served with tzatziki and an eggplant salsa). Read more

    Goa Taco is reconfiguring the very idea of a taco, deploying flaky parathas rather than corn tortillas, and heaping them with all sorts of savory but unexpected ingredients.

    A great rare twist to a kati roll. First off there is nothing about Goa- parathas are not in anyway part of Goan cuisine despite advertised. As for the food, the pork was amazing! Worth a bite!

    Don't be smart, just order the pork belly and feel really good about yourself. The meat is succulent and that taco shell is incredible. It's one of the best snacks I've ever had. Love it here.

    Ordered the Pork belly, chicken & turkey tacos. Not your traditional taco skin, but was delicious! I thought it was a bit pricey & the size of their 1 taco was not quite=to 2 normal tacos advertised.

    Incredibly flavorful, large Indian tacos with a great flaky pastry-like consistency. Brunch taco only available on the weekends. Their lease is month-to-month so don't miss out!

    It's been awhile since I've felt actual feelings for my food but that succulent pork belly and/or savory lamb shoulder in what is basically a cross-tortilla/croissant pocket... Literally wet dreams.

    These are not your regular Mexican tacos but tacos with a twist. Every flavor is unique so it's worth coming back to try them all

    Absolutely phenomenal. Great concept. Wonderful ingredients. Refreshing take on a classic. I can't rave about it more. A must try.

    The pre-made parathas taste like the thick ones you might get at a Malaysian specialty food store. A bit sweet, chewy, and buttery. Their execution on the griddle adds some flakiness though.

    The roasted butternut squash taco is the real star here! It explodes with a wide range of contrasting flavours that meld together perfectly.

    Try the churro. It is more doughy than crispy, and is stuffed with the chocolate hazelnut mascarpone. A little pricey, but worth trying.

    Pork belly taco was delicious. Tacos are pretty big and are pressed on a griddle. Almost like a taco making sweet love to a panini.

    That innocent looking sauce on the counter is made from scotch bonnet pepper so watch out! Regardless, this is a very tasty take on tacos. 🌮

    Underrated taco spot! It’s hard to find good Mexican in NYC but this place is worthy.

    The paneer taco with pesto is infuriatingly good. Must have for any vegetarian.

    The crumbly chicken chorizo combines well with the brussels sprouts slaw and fontina cheese. Highly recommended.

    Amazing pork belly taco. I never thought that the Indo-mexican flavor combination would work so well.

    using Indian paratha as a taco shell is simply ingenious. It's like biting into a croissant taco shell - flaky, fluffy, buttery goodness

    Interesting take on tacos. The pork belly one is the best. Try it out before this pop-shop eatery closes up

    The Pork Belly Taco is yummy. It can get pretty messy to eat, so grab a lot of napkins.

    A bunch of too-cool-for-school rude hipsters that make the most amazing taco I've had. Makes up for the obnoxious service. No eye contact. No questions. No smiles. No thanks. No problem.
