Steven MeyersSeptember 4, 2011Chicken Chiqulicqulas (spelling?) and margarita will make your weekend much better!!!
Mexican corn here is out of this world. Always get this and the fish tacos!!!
Michael Fox-RabinovitzMay 5, 2017Eclectic but fun decor, decent drinks, highly mediocre and uninspired food. Not bad just nothing special
John HanningJuly 13, 2013Cute waiter...but the frozen margarita was not do great and the food was bland!
- Watch out for the seating on the left side. A/C is set to polar ice cap.
Mary DuffyAugust 1, 2010Yummy mushroom quesadillas, and skinny girl margaritas...never enough guac though ;-)
Rhea 🌺 PMay 10, 2015Horrible service!! Taking order and getting food too such a long time. They barely refilled water. Food was ok- burrito was too crispy and very wimpy on rice and beans!!! NOT COOL!- Lobster tacos are good, but lobster is kinda drowned out by fried batter. :-/
Steve BearJune 9, 2012They charge for refills on iced tea. Gimme a break! Petty things like that keep me from ever coming back!
AJAugust 2, 2010Even when packed we got sat right away! Waitress definitely was concerned with flipping tables didn't have much personality but everything was good.
Chilaquiles are off the chain and their mole negro is a revelation.

"Large private room in the back sat 14 easily. Loved the duck carnitas and merengue corn desert. Will definitely be back"

"Very friendly service. Top three are the lamb, cabeza and the pork. Closest thing to LA style tacos I've had so far."

"I try to visit Tacombi whenever I am nearby. I love their Tako, it is delicious. They have outdoor tables which are mostly busy and better to reserve in advance."

"This is my favorite watering home in NYC. It's pretty quiet before 8. But then it comes alive with fun. Great country music and dancing bandits on the bar. What's not to love?"
