Had an incredible night at Dirty Taco's TacOmakase the other night. Chefs Jake and Tay curated a delicious meal filled with high-quality ingredients paired with delicious beversges curated by Sam. In talking with everyone, we felt right at home. My partner and I loved learning all about the inspiration behind the TacOmakase experience, their backgrounds, the ingredients they had selected, and much more. The menu itself is very fun, featuring emojis to give you a sense of what you'll be enjoying with still giving an excitingelementof surprise. With that in mind, I won't dive too much into the dishes themselves, outside the fact that each one was better than the next. We both felt this experience was well worth the price of the ticket and will be recommending to all of our friends. Looking forward to returning and trying DT's usual menu, along with any upcoming concepts!! read more

Dirty Taco GCT is located at the Dining Concourse of Grand Central Terminal, near the subway, Metro-North Railroad, and Long Island Rail Road. The service and employees were great! The food is the reason the establishment receives a low score. Dirty Taco GCT definitely gives a lot of meat. The problem comes in the lack of seasoning/flavor. Additionally, the Birria and Duck Taco came off very fatty. I would not recommend it on a regular basis, but I am curious about their Omakase. read more

I heard good things about the duck taco from Dirty Taco GCT but it was unfortunately disappointing to say at the least & ridiculously pricey. Yes I know that it's GCT but I don't think that's a valid reason to charge literally $7 for a taco that one can finish in 2 bites & has a sliver of duck on it. Was the duck good? Yes, so two stars but won't visit again. read more

Dining Concourse at Grand Central Terminal 89 E. 42nd St. New York, NY 10017 Dirty Taco Duck Carnitas The taco was moderately piled with duck meat and topped with medium salsa and chopped onions. The taste was excellent, but based on this minute size it should not be classified on the menu as a regular size taco. read more

Completely average tacos and a below average bowl with nary a trace of spice or flavor. The food was hot and the service was good. There's no way we would have stopped if we weren't incredibly hungry from our travels. We will plan better next time and eat somewhere else. read more

Stopped here for lunch and got the pork carnitas bowl. The food tasted good and the pork was cooked well. The issue I did have is why give out such big containers for food and then fill them only a quarter of the way. I didn't expect it to be filled but what I got would've made my teenager still hungry. read more

Except for the tortilla chips, the two tacos and salsa were disappointing. Dirty Taco, located in the lower ground floor of the Grand Central Station, has been open for one and a half years. It's quite possible that commuters and visitors stop by to have something here. Yesterday I didn't want to have my usual picks so came here for tacos. I chose a pork carnita and a pork belly taco. Plus chips and salsa. When I opened the bag to stand and eat at a table the plate had juice all over which had made the tortillas soggy. The fillings were not flavorful. I didn't care for the salsa either. This was a waste of $17+change. read more

Eh! I've had better. I went to Dirty Taco located in Grand Central Terminal because the rest of the food spots had long lines. I selected the food spot with no line to make my train that was going to leave in 15 minutes. They offered a wide variety of taco choices. I had what's called the 'Dirty Grandma' and it was okay. Very greasy. Service was prompt so that helped. read more

I came here for lunch after my foreman had gotten me a duck taco to try. I said I would be going back and trying some more tacos from here! I went and got a duck skin taco that was crispy and very flavorful. With onions Cilantro. And had a beef and a pork taco too. These tacos are very very good. The meats are juicy and fresh and you get served pretty quickly. It's located on low level of grand central right next magnolia bakery. I probably will be back here again tomorrow to try some more tacos! read more

Picked up food to go during lunchtime. Not a huge line and I appreciated placing my order on the kiosk so I could take my time selecting what I wanted. I ordered a duck quesadilla with mild sauce. Not overly greasy, not sure I got sauce and I forgot the sour cream. Otherwise it's good and a lot of food. I also got it to go, and it was wrapped well. Would definitely recommend coming here. Everyone was very pleasant too. Just remember that it's located in a food court and seating is limited. read more

I wasn't going to add a review because I felt maybe I should give this place another visit, and maybe I would because I wanted to try the duck skin taco and they told me they were not ready, bummer! So I decided to go with Grandma's Korean Steak Taco. That was a disappointment. The meat was chopped up into mini size pieces, and in my opinion, you should never treat a steak that way, so I did not care for it at all. As a matter of fact, the two stars are for the toppings and taco itself. Im being generous for now. I also didn't care for the vibe of the place. Although it's in a train station underground, they could have been more available to give me more attention because they had no other customers around. I mean, it was like I was invisible, and that wasn't a good feeling. I give them no thumbs up. They should work on customer service skills, and I may return in the future or not. There are too many taco spots in the city for this not so good experience. read more

My partner and I got a relatively late meal here on Monday night, just before they were going to close. It was palpable how kind the guy behind the cash register was, even though I'm sure it had been a long day. I appreciated his cheery demeanor. We got some guac and chips as well as duck carnitas and grandma's steak tacos. We were impressed by the size of the guac - stand out! The tacos were also very juicy and good. Sure, I like some other topping options, but they were easy to scarf down and also of good size. read more

This was my first time grabbing a bite at the dirty taco. I had a chicken taco, which was filled with meat and delicious. I also ordered chips with the guac, but my favorite was the chicken tortilla soup! It was so yummy and enough for two people. The servers were great and suggested I get a plastic bag from a neighboring restaurant as the weather was pouring rain outside. I wish they had a standalone restaurant so I could've sat down and enjoyed my meal. I just took it to go and stood up in Grand Central Station. I would definitely recommend this place for a quick bite. And I can't wait to return. read more

I have been here twice and the tacos are great. It is located in the food hall of Grand Central Terminal in Midtown Manhattan. On this occasion I got the Korean steak taco. The taco was a bit doughy and had too much of a floury taste for me. The Korean steak was good it had a spicy tangy taste. I also got the green sauce which they make and is amazing they said they may be bottling and selling it soon. read more

Yes, we know the tacos are on the pricey side, but they're absolutely worth it. These might be the best tacos I've ever had. I'd choose Dirty Tacos over Los Tacos No. 1 any day! My favorite is the Korean steak taco--it's super juicy and packed with flavor. The al pastor comes in as a close second, so tender and delicious. Every now and then, I treat myself to the crispy duck skin taco--it's to die for! And if you love hot sauce like I do, you've got to try the XXX hot sauce. It's insanely spicy with a great kick. I'm obsessed! read more

The food look and tasted as if it was an afterthought. The food was so greasy and tasteless. I like to use my meals out to have great food but this was a waste and theeeeee worst tacos I ever had !!! Yes the menu looks really good prices not The worst But nope Complete fail. It doesn't help that the food court area and the table area has smelly homeless people all over dirty tables and nobody is doing a thing about it . It's not Dirty tacos fault but the food court mangers need to get rid of them and clean the place up . It made the experience much worse especially if the tourist come and see this . read more

The tacos did taste very good but also basic for the price. I got the regular chicken tacos, 3 for around 15$. Very nice workers.

Solid street tacos- very simple and no frills! Got one of the steak and one of the chicken. These are served street style, the same way I had them in LA- so simple corn tortilla, some yummy grilled meat, and then raw onions and cilantro on top. The meat could afford to be a smidge more spiced and tender, but honestly fantastic for a quick bite and super generous with the quantity of meat. I found my taco shell to be falling apart. Service was fast- would come by again! read more

You're looking for breakfast before your train. You're about to get Shake Shack but then you see a taco place with breakfast burritos, you think "Nice, a little flavor, spice it up!" Wrong. Stay at the shake shack. This is a warning. You will pay $11 for a dry microwaved egg and sausage patty wrapped in a tortilla with a drop of American cheese. Ask for it spicy? There will be a drop of something orange you can't taste mixed in. Ask for avocado? You'll get a few pieces of unripe avocado shoved in at the bottom. No pico, no beans, no rice, no potato, nothing at all that would make this taste like a burrito, it's like a Dunkin' Donuts breakfast sandwich dressed up like a burrito except less flavorful. read more

The Pork Carnitas Burrito is the best I have ever had in NYC...The tortilla, meat, rice, salsa, and everything in between are top notch. A++. These guys are clearly ingredients first! read more

Had an amazing dinner at Dirty Taco Port Washington! Matteo was an outstanding server -- super friendly, attentive, and made great recommendations read more

I think service was fine, but what really disappointed me was the food. I got a total of 5 tacos. Unfortunately, each and every taco tasted dry, bland and greasy. The salsa had no kick or flavor. But considering that I'm actually from Los Angeles, this is a really sad representation of LA tacos. I was really really rooting for it, but unfortunately it missed all the marks for me. read more

I had the pork carnitas which were bomb! You can customize your tacos and choose the level of spicy. I will be back! Service was great.

Simple. Quick. Chicken tacos definitely hit the spot - I liked the medium over the hot sauce/salsa. What more could you ask from somewhere in Grand Central when you're trying to catch a train? A good go to spot that I'll be back to in the future read more

Can't believe Dirty Taco made it to GCT. The tacos are pretty decent. The sauces are good too. The onions were so fresh and crisp. Staff was nice. It's in the dining hall, so it gets very busy during lunch time, but you have plenty of eating space throughout the entire concourse with plenty of high top tables. The price is a bit high but makes sense because of the location. read more

I stumbled upon this place looking for a new spot to try for lunch and I was not disappointed. I ordered the chicken, Korean steak and duck tacos and opted for mango salsa on the chicken and duck. Everything was delicious! They have a self-ordering system which was easy to navigate and service was fast. I definitely recommend! read more

Given that this place is in a train station, I give five stars. The best restaurant of all I have visited in train stations. Tacos are delicious. It is not a sit down place but you can take your tacos and sit down in a nearby pizza place owned by the same owner. read more

Stopped here on the way to a metro north train. I ordered a taco threesome and wanted to love it but found them to be pretty bland. And they didn't have real to go containers. I had to get on the train with a plate wrapped in foil. That seems odd for a place that only does take out food. read more

New spot! Love it! Employees are so kind and friendly. I ordered three duck carnitas combo which is 3 tacos, you can definitely mix and match if you want. There are 3 levels of spice mild, medium and hot. I'm Jamaican so the hot was not really hot but it was so flavorful. I was offered some other hot sauce samples and they were great! The tacos were hot, seasoned well and the tortillas were soft and warm. I'll be back read more

Just tried their crispy duck skin taco and was absolutely blown away. These are definitely happening way more often when I stop by here again. From the moment I started to sandwich up my taco I could feel the crispiness of the skin through the toritlla. Once I took my first bite, it was game over. Flavor heaven. It's way too expensive for such a little taco, but if I'm gonna pay nearly $7 for a delicious taco, it might as well be this one. Don't sleep on this one. read more

this place reminded me of chipotle. that should tell you to stay away. i got the veggie taco and its just mushrooms, peppers, onions, and i think cabbage. i got these a month ago so i don't remember the last veggie. the taco was overflowing with veggies which makes it hard to pick up and eat. i got chips and salsa on the side. they put mild salsa on the taco. i used my fork becuz it was so much. i just had a piece of onion and when i ate it, it was so freaking spicy it burned going down! i have mexican food all the time and its never too spicy to where i cant eat it. i just ended up getting a refund for the tacos but i kept the chips. those were actually good. but if you like spicy maybe this is for you. it also looked like a soggy mess. doesn't look appetizing at all. read more

Had the Al Pastor, lengua, suadero, pork belly and tamarindo agua fresca. The meats were well seasoned along with the different salsas. Highly recommend the Al Pastor tacos and tamarindo water. read more

Without a doubt the best tacos I have ever had in my entire life. The quality of the ingredients are spectacular. The pork belly breakfast burrito is out of this world.

So I passed by here a few times, I was intrigued by the duck skin tacos but unfortunately they didn't have it when I was there. So I got the duck carnita taco instead with onions, cilantro, and hot sauce. It was fatty, and super tasty, I can eat like 17 of these lolz but had dinner plans later...Will definitely come back to try the duck skin taco next time. read more

I love a good taco. I love, even more, an exotic taco. However, this taco was duck skin and was $6 for pry a 3 inch in diameter taco. The prices at this place are pretty steep for a taco place. The tacos are small and I'm sure that they get this often because when I looked at the taco in shock and asked the cashier "this is $6!?" She immediately called to another staff member to come over. I didn't ask for anything. I ate it but I'm not spending $6 on a taco again. For sure.... read more
