A quick internet search led me to this tiny little takeaway window. There were a few people waiting around for their orders, but the service was quick, and super friendly. The birria was amazing, super tender, perfect seasoning and came with two sauces for dipping. Unbelievably flavourful, and an impressive serving size. Great value for the money. Truly authentic Mexican street food. I'll be back.

The Guac was brilliant! Made the whole dish taste good. Good quantity as well. The lady at the counter was very friendly, despite the lines. Asked her what I should try next time. We agreed on Beef burrito bowl. And it is so close to Grand Central. Will make sense to do a take out here!

Stopped by Tacos del Barrio near Times Square with high hopes but was not too happy with my meal…read more The place was ok but fell short of my expectations. The place is fine and has a nice simple menu with a decent selection. I ordered the carne asada and al pastor quesadillas. The good part was that they do add a lot of meat inside the quesadillas and certainly did not skimp on the filling. However, I thought the meat was very bland. The meats had basically no flavor, but they did have a nice texture and tenderness. Additionally, I ordered mine with corn tortillas, and they fell apart almost as soon as I picked up the quesadillas, making it very difficult to eat them. Lastly, the quesadillas were very greasy. In terms of beverages, I did enjoy the piña agua Fresca. The location is convenient and the service was excellent, but the food isn't the best. It's not terrible but certainly not memorable enough to want to return again. There are definitely better options around Times Square to choose from.

Dropped by on a Friday evening a couple weeks ago for a quick takeout order…read more Walking into the store, there's casual seating for about 20 at two-top tables along the immediate left side and single bar-height seating at a bar along the right front window. The right back is where to get in line to order and pay. Like most burrito, salad or bowl places you go down the assembly line selecting the items to compose your meal. They serve burritos, tacos, bowls with a handful of sides and drinks; the distinction separating them from a few other popular burrito chains is in addition to chicken, beef and a vegetarian (cauliflower & tofu) option, they have a few seafood choices--crispy fish, adobo fish, and adobo shrimp. I was interested in trying the crispy fish or adobo shrimp, and the staff member kindly informed me that they could make either of those options to order, it'd just take a few minutes. Due to timing I decided to go with the adobo fish, which was already prepared. Sending appreciation to the staff member who made me a well stuffed burrito. The fish was tender and other veggies were fresh, I thought the fish could've used a tad more flavor though was also glad it wasn't too salty. Can't say it was the best burrito I've ever had though I'd be willing to drop by again and try something else if I was in the area.

Guac was super creamy and studded with jalapenos so it brought the spice. The Cochinta Pibil, served with some tortilla, was full of flavor. The chicken flautas were good, but the chicken itself didn't have much flavor. The rice and beans served with each dish were great versions. The flan was also tasty and a sweet relief from the earlier spice. Tulcingo felt like a little escape from the madness and crowds of Time Square.

Go to the smaller neighborhoods in Washington Heights, East Harlem, Brooklyn, Queens. So many small Mexican restaurants that are excellent. And this one now in Hell's Kitchen. Greeted by the loveliest woman who may be the owner, I'm not sure. Per her recommendation, my wife (who wasn't feeling so well today) ordered her soup which she believed would settle her stomach. My wife says it's one of the best soups she's ever tried, rivaling the Sancocho that her mother makes. I decided to go for the burrito and adding goat as the protein. Sorry if it looks kind of scary to break it open, but I wanted you to see the contents inside. The baked goat was absolutely delicious peppered with some sweet jalapeños throughout giving it just a nice kick. The queso fundido with mushrooms was very good, but I would've preferred tortillas with it instead of chips. Lovely people. Lovely ambience. I'm even showing you a picture of the bathroom because I think that's an indicator of quality for restaurants. Get over there and have a wonderful lunch.

You just don't have the long wait and you don't have to follow their rule with paying first, and then having to take your receipt and go stand in another line to find a chef available to make your tacos. So I'd say come where for your tacos. They basically taste the same and costs the same. The wait is a lot less and you don't have to go stand in another line to just get your tacos made. Plus the seating in Shaver Hall is a lot more appealing than at Los Tacos.

The team works fast, not a long wait, just a few minutes. I've been here 3x now. Dined in the food hall, communal seatings and shared napkins. It was nice to just people-watch. The other times were takeaways and were still in good shape - tho, the corn tortillas were a little soggy. I had carne asada 2x and al pastor 1x. I prefer the carne asada, probably bc I like steak more. I also got their guac & chips all 3x. That's worth it! The guac was creamy and flavorful. Chips were made fresh so not stale like some chain. Order: 2 tacos, guac and chips, and a jarito + tip, about $28. (Little pricey but it's midtown rent prices) I will for sure be a returning customer!
