You need this in your life NOW!!!…read more This taco stand is open 24 hours a day, except Tuesdays. Three hardworking brothers and a team of staff operates this popular, but no name corner stand with a green tent. They have been open for over a year, and deserves to be recognized as one of the best tacos in NYC. This shop specializes in carnitas, which they cook in a cazuela, like in Mexico, and the streets of LA/SD. The menu includes all sorts of interest cuts from pigs and cows that some people may be wary of. To me, it reads like a book I don't ever want to put down. When you first arrive, the guys will give you a free sample taco with an assortment of pig parts such as ear, stomach, skin, and cheek. That's the hook! Because once you taste that addictive freebie, you're ready to blow all the cash you have left in your wallet for more of that crack. They have tacos and quesadillas, both are wonderful and filled to the brim with meats. Stationed on the table is also salsa and pickled onions/peppers. Add some hot sauce, and let the amazing taste wash over you. Protip: If you want off menu items like chicharron, you have to get there early before they sell out. There is a small wait on the weekends, but these guys work fast and furious. If you have no idea how to order, ask one of staff members or some the locals. Everyone is very friendly and willing to share because the food here makes them so damn happy. Honestly, there are almost no Mexican taco stands in NYC that I consider good enough to compete with what's available on the west coast. We need to support these guys and hope they will always be around. I will certainly be here as often as possible to get my fix.

Following Gordon's recommendations, I came here on a hot summer day to pick up carnitas tacos for a…read morepicnic in nearby Flushing Meadows Corona Park. There's some very impressive taco-craft happening at Los Tacos Hermanos Hernandez, and they're a great addition to the Corona food scene which is already pretty rich with Latin American options. The man cooking (whom I'm assuming is one of the Hermanos?) gave us the free lil sampler taco when we arrived, and we selected a few different parts of the pig from the carnitas list (truthfully had to use a lot of Google Translate to figure out what each part was) along with the chorizo. You can see the richly stewing carnitas in the giant metal pot that's on a continuous simmer, and I for one have always loved a forever soup across cultures. The tortillas are fresh and hot, and the staff packed everything up for us nicely along with a container of pico de gallo, some guacamole, and the salsa. Everything has a great homemade-with-love flavor, and we really enjoyed all the tacos. Come check this stand out; they're open nearly every day and have amazing work ethic even in the searing heat!

Free Delivery with $20 minimum purchase. Taco Tuesday: Five (5) Taco Al Pastor for $10! I randomly came across this Mexican Food Truck while shopping at Five Below, and it was screaming my name! We were so hungry...so hungry that we didn't realize 1). It was Tues and 2). They have a Taco Tues Special! Oh well, next time! On this visit, we got: - Chicken Quesadilla ($7): My 10 yr old niece had this and she rated this 4/5. She said more cheese would have made this a 5! - Tacos ($3 each): I tried their Al Pastor Tacos and a Chorizo Taco. They were fresh & tasty but could have used a little more seasoning. Note that the tacos are on the small side, and come in double tortillas. The tacos are topped with chopped onions and cilantro, and come with slices of radish and wedges of lime on the side. Don't forget to tell them which hot sauce you prefer! (4/5) ** You have a choice of green or red hot sauce. I chose the green sauce, and it was just mildly spicy. Next time I'll ask for both red and green sauce, and mix them. They also offer a variety of other items: Tacos ($3-$7) Quesadillas ($7) Birria ($ ??) Flautas ($15) Gringas ($11) Tortas ($10) Cemita Loca ($12) Ricos Esquites ($6) - Street Corn "salad" (not on the cob) Aguas Frescas ($4/small; $7.50/large) I'm not normally in this area, but I'd definitely return to La Troka Poblana. Customer service was very friendly and inviting; quick service. There are two tables with 8 stools in front of the truck if you'd like to eat there.

Even though this vendor sells tacos pequeño (small tacos, 2-3 bites), they are $3-4 each, which is not cheap. For that reason, I can't give them 5 stars. It's quite pricey considering that most full size tacos are selling for about $4.50-5.50 nowadays on the streets, but double in size. With that said, I appreciate the smaller size for me to enjoy more variety every time I stop by. My favorites change from visit to visit, but generally I always get Suadero (roast meat), Campechano (roast meat & sausage), Buche (pork stomach), Cabeza (beef head), and Lengua (beef tongue). I also like the extra weird parts like Cesos (beef brain) and Ojos (beef eye). However, the texture is very mushy and definitely not for everyone. As accompaniments, for every two tacos you order, they also give you a long stem onion that is quite tender and delicious. On the down side, instead of the traditional lime and radish that most places give, Tacos El Borrego offers lemon and cucumbers. I'm not sure why, except maybe they are cheaper options than the normal garnishes. Also, don't forget the flavorful green and red sauces on the table if you are eating there. Otherwise, ask for some to go. I miss the days when our group of friends would get a few tacos late at night after a party or night out drinking. The prices are no longer the same, but the food is still perfect for sobering up while having some laughs on the streets during the warm months. I think back to those days fondly whenever I'm at a taco stand nowadays, and Tacos El Botrego is one of my favorites in NYC.

Having never tried tamales before, I was pretty eager (thanks to her positive comments). We sampled both the adobo ($2) and birria ($2.5) tamales, and they were absolutely amazing. Personally, I found the adobo tamale to be slightly better in terms of flavor but both were equally well made with its rich, flavorful seasoning. My sister, who has tried tamales before, mentioned that these were even better than the ones she got from the random tamale table (near Woodside), thanks to the diverse flavor options available and how fresh they came out. The customer service here was exceptional. A friendly lady approached us, handed us menus, and took our order with a warm smile. Even though tipping isn't required, their service went above and beyond, making us feel genuinely welcome. We also couldn't resist trying the birria taco ($4), which arrived piping HOT. It was generously stuffed with birria, making it a hearty and satisfying choice. While it was a tad salty for my taste, my sisters thoroughly enjoyed it and had no complaints. Our total order came out to a little less than $10 for three people, which was perfect for a light snack before heading home for our protein dinner (get that protein intake in! EEEEEEEEEE)
