$6.25 shrimp taco is totally worth it. Fresh ingredients and fast service. Grab & continue shopping while in the east village. I love this place tucked inside a market. Must visit.

One of their two locations, the daily menu rotates and is announced via Twitter, but the avocado and raw sweet corn Guaco Taco is a favorite. Tacos are all $4 each, and two should fill you up. Read more

Best tacos in NYC. Goat, chorizo & potato, and chipotle chicken are musts. Come often and order a lot so they can start a standalone space and you can enjoy these delicious things with margaritas.

Probably the best taco I've ever had, at least in NYC. Try the chilorio brisket taco, so savory & just simply awesome!

Tasting Table Top 10 Tacos: "no one does [the chorizo & potato combination] better. Soft pieces of potato, soaked in spicy chorizo fat under a pineapple salsa & cool crema"

this place opened in September 2011 and they are doing really well. The owner is very nice, knows his stuff well. You feel like coffee is his thing. This place suits very well for Sunday detox!

Fabulous tacos! Not sure how authentic a kale potato taco is but it sure is good! Guacamole was just perfect!!

Blue Bottle Coffee and tasty veg friendly options. The guys behind the counter always make you feel welcome even when they're swamped! Grab dessert at Tra La La or Roni Sue's.

Everything I had here was pretty amazing. Guaco taco, braised pork, and the GOAT - you can't go wrong. One of the best tacos I've tasted in NY.

Try the Chilorio brisket taco, braised for four hours with ancho chili, garlic and a mix of spices. It's one of NYC's 26 best tacos! Read more

Got the chipotle chicken taco & black bean and cheese tamale... both delicious! Love that the ingredients are imported from mexico - always fresh and yummy :)

Guaco taco is where it's at. The cola-braised pork is also super great.

The Blue Bottle hand drip coffee is delicious. try the el yucateco chile habanero sauce for a vinegary spice kick

It's all about breakfast tacos if you feeling a bit hungover from pianos.

Avoid the rude service at Shopsin's and stop by this stand & try the deliciousness of the Breakfast Taco + Mex-Cola (plus that take Square)

Brisket taco is stupid. Do not miss out on the green habanero sauce or you'll be sorry...

The tacos here fulfill gaps in my life previously mended only by $1,000+ shoes.

I don't think I've had a meatless day in 3 decades, but I'd gladly live on the kale & potato taco for a week or two.

Guaco taco is a must, especially with the crunch or the raw sweet corn.
