Pedro Couto e SantosFebruary 15, 2016Unmissable! 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 MackeyAugust 25, 2018Excellent place to take a group. Call in advance to reserve, and make sure to get the tuna tostada and al pastor.

New York PostDecember 3, 2014The 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 TeoSeptember 26, 2017They 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 RainertSeptember 2, 2014The 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 NaldoSeptember 22, 2014Love 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 ;)
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 XerriApril 12, 2019Cant 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...
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.
Foursquare InsidersOctober 7, 2015"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
Kimmie OhhDecember 3, 2019Order 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 BrookeJanuary 12, 2015Atmosphere 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.
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 TchamitchianOctober 23, 2016Amazing 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 TashJanuary 10, 2015Omg. 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!!
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.
Rami MassoudAugust 18, 2017Beautiful 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 SiekmeierApril 16, 2016The 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.
Veronique VSeptember 8, 2017Great 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.
Tim DengJuly 8, 2018You will not find much better Mexican food around here! Get the shrimp & fried fish tacosUpvoted May 8
Whitney FishmanMarch 28, 2016The 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 LublingNovember 21, 2014My 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.
MrsCorksterJune 16, 2015Possibly the best Palomas I've had. Fantastic tacos, lively atmosphere that transport you to Mexico City. Service could be better though.
Daniel McDonoughMarch 27, 2015The chorizo verde toluca and the baja crispy fish tacos are really good. Tacos are small so get 3-4 different ones to try.
Ms HeleneJune 10, 2017Guac 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 JarvisFebruary 12, 2017Amazing guac and the al pastor tacos in particular are amazing. Try all the various sauces/salsas.
Ernesto GutierrezMay 13, 2018Grab 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.
Raphael LangenscheidtOctober 10, 2015The 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 BrewOctober 18, 2015Really great Mexican place as all the Tacombi locations are. Good cocktail list as well! Try the Mezcal Mule
Giorgio AuguadroOctober 23, 2016Guys 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 CAugust 26, 2016Yummy tacos, great drinks and good ambiance!! Good pick for an afterword bite! ***Cinco de Mayo prices vary!
Andy BraunstonAugust 9, 2014Do the guacamole for sure, then hot cakes & spiked horchata! Such friendly staff too, love the vibe. Very stroller friendly :)
Chez OngJuly 17, 2015Puerco Toluca is amazing. Crispy fish is the better fish taco. The al pastor was underwhelming. The guac is crazy good too.
Honghui YuAugust 7, 2014The 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.
geeJune 4, 2015Went with a large group and we really enjoyed ourselves. The food and drinks were delicious and the service was great! Will definitely return.
Cara FriedmanJuly 9, 2015Generally love this place. Had one sub-par taco but the management was SO accommodating. Very impressed with service/management. Will be back 100%.
Lori LuoJanuary 17, 2015Pricey 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.
JulieJanuary 13, 2016Generous portions of guacamole, and the al Pastor is a favorite. Good atmosphere, if a little loud. The juices are delicious, too!
Camilla CJune 11, 2014The best agua frescas around... I love the sandia (watermelon) and piña (pineapple). Might be better than some of their tacos.- Bjoern WeidlichDecember 20, 2014The crispy fish tacos are the bomb. Also get the guacamole. Haven't had much luck with the cocktails though.
- Caroline ChungMay 30, 2014Same owners as Tacombi (Nolita) Lobster tacos - pricey (market price $15 each) but totally delicious! Ceviche was also yummy. Horchata was a little too sweet.
AmberMay 15, 2017Good spot for groups and sharing. Tasty guacamole and simple, straightforward menu with something for everyone.
Kelsey LeeJune 7, 2014The 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 SantiagoJuly 17, 2016This place is a great example of nyc irony. Decorations and $4-$6 for one taco. redeeming factor is their hot sauces.
Ira IneshinaJanuary 7, 2016My best experience in NYC. Service, interior and cocktails are just priceless.
Annie ParkJune 20, 2017They always ask if you want to to start with guacamole and chips - it's over $11, say no if you don't want it!
The breakfast taco with carne is by far the best choice
