Excellent no frills tacos, some of the best in the city. Grab a few and eat at the standing counter.
Kevin DudleyOctober 18, 2019The line moves fast. The cheese taco shell is AMAZING and keto! I might have been able to eat three tacos, but two were plenty.
HklingFebruary 20, 2019Come early to begin queuing... service is fast and friendly and tacos are super yummy with their homemade sauces- Omid MoradshahiJune 20, 2017Carne asada tacos are great and the corn tortillas are so fresh. Line a bit long but worth the wait.
Joe MontesFebruary 17, 2017Authentic, quick tacos! Definitely gets really busy during the lunch rush. The vegetarian options are great!
Carlos RussoNovember 27, 2017Definitely get an adobada taco or quesadilla, whichever you prefer. But make it AN ADOBADA. You won't regret it.
Gregory FisherJune 8, 2018Carne asada quesadilla is worth a wait, though the line is actually super fast moving, so no real issue there!
Divya MenonJanuary 7, 2015My favorite place for delicious, authentic corn flour tacos! Get the special rice & cinnamon drink to savor all flavors!
Teresa ElliottJuly 2, 2013Quite possibly the best taco I have ever had. Tortilla perfection. Get the pork. Perfect avocado to cilantro ratio for the guac, too.
jon ferrerAugust 23, 2014excellent tacos and salsa bar. high quality ingredients and well priced for Chelsea market, but there's always a line.
My favorite tacos in NY - I hope other NYC taco places come here and study the tortillas.
CarolMay 21, 2023I finally get why so many people preach this place! No frills taco shop- only sadness is that they don’t have elotes/ esquites. But tacos are cheap and tasty
Megan JohnsonAugust 2, 2014The best tacos in NYC. Freshly-made corn tortillas. Chicken, pork, steak were all delicious. 2 tacos actually filled me up.
Markéta ŠkvorováMay 29, 2018Delicious tacos! Located in Chelsea market, just one disadvantage - they do not have their own place where to sit.
Cheen The CuriousJuly 28, 2022Simple menu/pricelist. We stuck to tacos, since that’s what they are popular for
Mark McQueenSeptember 3, 2019Chicken tacos where banging. There was a large que but went down v fast and the staff where v helpful.
Lou DAugust 21, 2013Quite possibly the best tacos in NYC. Must try an adobada (pork) taco and if feeling hungry, add a carne asada quesadilla.
Marianella MoralesFebruary 14, 2017Authentic mexican tacos. The carne asada quesadilla with corn tortilla was so good! Juicy meat and fresh ingredients.
Gabriel GarridoMay 28, 2017The adobada taco is the best taco i have had in my life, and i have had them all. dont waste your time looking, you have found el taco no. 1
This place understands what a real quesadilla is. They just add melted cheese to a taco and dont make it a different dish.
EaterMay 22, 2017Turns out Chelsea Market is home to Dev and Chef Jeff’s favorite taco in New York: Los Tacos No. 1’s al pastor. [Episode 5]
Jin MoonMay 5, 2016One of the best authentic tacos in NYC. No seat though... great for take out. Maybe eat it on highline?
order the carne asada quesadilla and adobada taco. one of the best spots for tacos in the city
Luke MayesMarch 12, 2018Really, really good tacos. I don’t think it matters what you order. Just get whatever sounds good. It will be good.

jiresellMarch 26, 2018Really great tacos, made to order. The line moves fast, so don’t be intimidated by it.
Adobada is the best - add everything and grab extra napkins
- Shirin HAugust 31, 2013California-approved. The best tacos I've had in NY. The adobada taco on corn tortilla with everything was SO good.
Pinar DenizOctober 19, 2014Steak quesadilla and tacos were great! Add the extra spicy dressing and salsa and thank me later :)
Julian ModestoJune 1, 2019The line’s long, but the tacos are delicious. Try Los Mariscos around the corner of the line is too daunting- Josh HJanuary 11, 2016My favorite place to eat in NYC period. Nothing close, get the carne asada tacos! Like 40 of them, with everything.

Jc TrabolsiJuly 5, 2015A-ma-zing! Totally worth the wait! You'll probably won't find better handmade corn Tortillas outside of Mexico!
- aJune 24, 2016Excellent adobada tacos, but don't be a gringo and smother them in guacamole. Leave that shit for your tex-mex.
Taco Adobada on a corn tortilla is all you need to know. Add a horchata and live the life.
Jonathan SimmonsDecember 13, 2014Authentic Mexican food. Best tacos I've had in years. Carne Asada quesadilla was the best! Cali approved
