if this is the second best taco place in the city, it's only because their other location is bigger. best al pastor I have ever had.
Bond StreetOctober 7, 2016"The trick is to ask them for the special menu - not too many people know about it, but go to that special menu." - Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne, founders and creative directors - Public School Read more
AdleyFebruary 26, 2018Ohhh best tacos place ever! I had the one with chicken and guacamole! One is not enough - order at least 3 pieces per person ;)
MarcJune 12, 2014Tasting Table Top 10 Tacos: "Chel Mkt stall makes its own corn tortillas & everything is great... spicy & tangy adobada made w/chile-rubbed pork, diced onion, cilantro and a bit of pineapple"
spoiled NYCOctober 31, 2015Heads-up, this Californian-Mexican street food stand has no seats, but is so worth it. The adobada pork is freshly cut from the spit & served in handmade corn tortilla tacos or in a quesadilla. Read more
ZenFoodsterApril 30, 2017Prefer 3 (medium salsa verde, pico de gallo & hot) on bottom from Los Tacos over 2 (like Chinese chili sauces) on top from Los Mariscos.
Alex BosworthAugust 24, 2016Can't really get much better tacos anywhere, get the quesadilla option which is basically still a taco but more cheese
Johnnie SkywalkingSeptember 5, 2016You choose which taco to go at order then you choose flour or corn at the kitchen. You can mix flour and corn. Flour tastes a little better to me.
Cheen The CuriousJuly 28, 2022If there are enough of you, try all their tacos! We found the corn tortilla (instead of flour) enhances the flavours
Nidhi KayApril 5, 2019Pork tacos are amazing!!! Steak quesadilla too best tacos here they just cook their meat well and corn tortilla is good
Jeremy FisherOctober 2, 2014I didn't want the carne asada quesadilla to be the single best Mexican food item I've had in NY, but it probably is. Outstanding
Wes BechtelOctober 24, 2014The line is worth it. They do take cards, but not AmEx. You can and should definitely order three tacos and chips and guacamole. Eat them standing up somewhere.
Zara KhanNovember 1, 2018Fresh, simple and filling! Perfect for a quick bite, these fish tacos make for a great lunch or for a snack!
Naish MMarch 24, 2017Any of the tacos! I prefer flour over corn and usually get the carne asada and adoboda tacos which are really good.
Michelle MJuly 7, 2017The tacos are truly authentic Mexican street tacos but with additional ingredients (they add guacamole sauce on the taco). Beware if you ask for everything on it they put spicy hot sauces on it.
Kimmie OhhDecember 5, 2019This is their OG location. Get their quesadilla especial with carne asada (basically like a huge deep fried quesadilla).
dawn.in.newyorkOctober 5, 2016Tacos still taste so good although I was already full after finishing a whole lobster. No seating area, and always crowded with people having tacos.
Meaghan KennyAugust 11, 2016Best tacos I've ever had, the pork is phenomenal I wish I had ordered more! Can't go wrong with the quesadillas either!
Felipe MinellaOctober 18, 2013Hands down the best tacos in the city! This taco joint hidden inside the Chelsea Market will blow your mind. Fresh corn tortillas carefully wrapped around beefy juicy awesomeness. AH-MAZING.- David MilbergDecember 29, 2016This is my go to spot for tacos! Their adobada taco is fantastic and I highly recommend getting one at this place. Their quesadillas are great as well!
Rock RainesJune 2, 2019Pickup system is not ideal for larger groups but works well for solo orders. The tacos are the best you’ll get in nyc so it’s worth it.
Elvin G. MarmolSeptember 15, 2017This place is really amazing, and prices are great too. Try the especial, adobada or with steak. The line might be long but it moves quickly.
Chris SsentongoJune 22, 2018Check out the high line, finish at Chelsea market where you can devour the excellent pork tacos at this establishment.
StevenJuly 23, 2016Adobada Taco. Corn tortilla. That's all you need to know. Been to LA a few times - and this is as close as it gets. My go-to spot for tacos in NYC.
Brian SellSeptember 10, 2014The best tacos in the city. Hands down. Step up and eat a messy drippy adobada at the counter. The pineapple sets it off. Quesadillas are delicious as well
KristiaMarie Pastor BalatbatJune 26, 2015We tried a bit of everything and all agreed that Carne Asada was be best. Medium salsa added a great kick without being so spicy that it was all I could taste.
Serious EatsJuly 15, 2013Great tacos quesadillas on handmade tortillas—your choice of corn or flour. The pork adobada is our favorite filling.
Alexandria LangFebruary 23, 2018If you’re in chelsea market you have to make your way to los tacos. The tacos and quesadilla are equally amazing. Fast, fresh and delicious
Ashley 🌵August 26, 2014O.M.Tacos! As a native arizonian... These are close to the best! So yummy! I usually prefer pork tacos, but the chicken was better! Could have been my mood...
Get the queso taco that’s not on the menu. The tortilla is deliciously cheese based. #nom
Catherine C.June 5, 2013Their pollo asado is insanely good! Totally worth the wait! I got the pollo taco (soft corn tortilla) and carne tostado. Don't forget to grab a grilled jalapeño.
Dan DarouvarSeptember 5, 2016Yes! Moved here from Phoenix and thought we'd have to give up on great tacos in exchange for good bagels & pizza. Very happy to find Los Tacos No. 1.
Julie MorseJune 24, 2016One of the best taco places in NYC. The "carne asada" is fresh and juicy and the pork "adobada" super tasty. 100% recommended! Guacamole!
Tara DîanaJanuary 16, 2018Hard to find a place to eat the tacos, but they’re delicious. We liked the chicken tacos! The pork tacos have pineapple on them, FYI.
Courtney LewisJune 25, 2018Best tacos in NYC! Must try the Adobada tacos and pollo tacos on a corn tortilla. Chips and guacamole are awesome, too.
Kimberly FisherApril 30, 2014I live right by here, so whenever I get a taco craving, this is the spot. One of the best tacos in NYC.
Alex FishJune 1, 2015Surprisingly amazing tacos in Chelsea Market. Get the Pork tacos and be ready to be amazed. The unlimited sauces make a difference!
Josh TaroliJune 25, 2015The steak taco is amazing. They have one with grilled cactus if you wanna try something special.
The best tacos in new york city. Get the adobada no matter if you're getting a taco, quesadilla, or the especial (if you're feeling particularly dangerous).
Ben K.May 17, 2014Adobada pork taco with pineapple on a corn tortilla is one of the better I've had in the city.
First We FeastAugust 3, 2014Order an excellent “especial” deep-fried quesadilla if you must (actually, you must), but all we're saying is this place is called Los TACOS No. 1 for a reason. Read more
Margherita B.April 26, 2016My experience at Los Tacos stood by the reputation they have! Awesome tacos, I surely have to go back to try some quesadillas
CBJune 18, 2014Spectacular Tacos- Three kinds- Pork, Chicken and Steak. Keep in mind that deleting is in the hall way food court area and there is very little of it
Paige CDecember 10, 2021Not a lot of flexibility with what you can order. Surprising that you can’t even get rice or beans. Also, what they call a “quesadilla” is more like an open taco.
You know a place is legit when they don't have any burritos on the menu. Try any/all of the tacos on a corn tortilla "con todo" - you won't be disappointed.
Richie StarkAugust 25, 2015After I got back from Mexico, I went through all the tacos I've had. Minus the price, these hew pretty close to the tacos I devoured in CDMX. That's good.
Cliff WilsonJanuary 30, 2016Best tacos I have had in New York! The pork is great. I recommend just doing the quesadillas, they're just bigger tacos.
SolDecember 31, 2018No matter the filling, get the fresh corn tortillas and watch them work. One of the best you can find in NY.
