New York PostAugust 25, 2014You won’t find the mixed special — which consists of wonderfully seasoned and unctuous pieces of flank steak, pork ear and beef stomach piled over tiny corn tortillas — on the menu! Read more
Time Out New YorkJuly 18, 2018This East Harlem hole-in-the-wall may serve the city’s best al pastor tacos, sliced to order from a rotating spit crowned with a hunk of grilled pineapple. Read more
Kimmie OhhSeptember 28, 2019Al pastor tacos for the win! There is very limited seating in the store but there is a standing area to eat your tacos where you can find all their hot sauces & some other toppings.
Aaron PangMarch 13, 2021Los tacos does a better al pastor but make sure to get the stewed meat like suadero, lengua, or tripa.
By far the best Al Pastor in Manhattan. Also, try the Gringa Mix....you won't be sorry :)
ZenFoodsterApril 23, 2013TONY's top 25 tacos! Chicken & carnitas tacos: juicy & flavorful meat stuffed in two tasty corn tortillas! The green sauce is da bomb! ;9
- Open late. Al pastor and chorizo tacos were delicious. Lots of options on the menu.
Krista Sande-KerbackMarch 11, 2012The al pastor and chicken tacos were delicious. Be prepared for a hole in the wall (get the one table or stand at the counter) and it seemed a little pricey, but I was thoroughly satisfied.
Lillian RodriguezMay 22, 2017Chicken tacos are yummy burritos are even better. Super filling and inexpensive.
Megan DoMay 6, 2013Best fucking tacos in Spanish Harlem. Try the suadero (braised beef), al pastor (roasted pork) and tripe. Fix 'em up with pickled onion, radish and lime!
Erika GrijalvaOctober 15, 2014Original street style tacos. The only place that I've found tripas. El pasto is very good. Super inexpensive.- Felipe LeonSeptember 11, 2017I love it ,is the real Mexican flavors. Excellent tacos,and gorditas,next time I wanna try the tortas.
CompassApril 25, 2014Pleasantly overstuffed tortas and savory tacos al pastor have made the tiny servingroom and takeaway counter one of the area’s biggest hits.- Time Out New YorkOctober 5, 2011Try the al pastor tacos. The juicy meat is redolent with lime juice, earthy chilies, sweet pineapple and cumin. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more

I'm from SoCal and these are legit. Try the chivo, lengua, or cecina.
Elvis RodricksOctober 12, 2020Skip the rest and get the Pork ears and pork tripe! One of a kind delicacy!
antonio robinsonSeptember 20, 2020been going to taco mix for years, never disappoint the vegetable tacos are my go to.
Tacos al pastor, carnitas and suadero! The best tacos outside of Mexico! This is not Tacobell or La esquina.
Liquid ToddJanuary 12, 2013This raw little spot on 116th St in Spanish Harlem has the best tacos in Manhattan. And they are open till 5am!
This maybe one of the best taco places in NYC. Get the Al Pator or the Barbacoa tacos.
Emily WilsonAugust 8, 2015Despite their popularity, the al pastor tacos are not better than the carnitas or the chorizo
New York HabitatFebruary 25, 2014This "hole in the wall" restaurant serves amazing tacos for an affordable price! Check it out!
Seven12 MagazineApril 21, 2011This is a great late night spot. Open all night and the tacos hit the spot. It isn't a sit down place but you get what you need.
