Brendan Hasenstab: Don't miss the simple, delicious chicken tacos! Covered in fresh cilantro, just-cut onions and spicy green salsa.. two-for-$5 -- one of the best lunch deals in Midtown. Highly recommended!
Kevin Thompson: El Rey serves up some of the best Mexican food for lunch in the city. Can't go wrong with 3 tacos (al pastor &spicy pork personal favs). Otherwise the torta sandwich is delish and similarly satisfying
Time Out New York: Try the lengua taco at this popular cart, the soft tongue is simmered for four hours and tucked into two warm griddled corn tortillas. It's one of NYC's 26 best tacos! Read more.

R: The beets, braised beef, kale apple salad and specialty grain are my go to items. Really good.
Christie Griffin: This place is basically a hot guy parade at lunchtime. Lol.
Mikey Milnar: 52nd street location is super stingy with their serving sizes...mama is still hungry.
