I asked explicitly what was in the burrito, beans were not mentioned. I am allergic to beans. Portion is ridiculously small for the price anyway. read more

Jo's Taco in NYC serves up really good tacos in a cozy, small space with super friendly staff. The only downside? NYC taco prices hitting $5+ each really stings. Great spot overall, just be prepared for higher prices! read more

The chicken tinga tacos here are some of the best I've had in NYC. This is my new go-to spot when I crave authentic tacos with fresh handmade tortillas. Can't wait to try the burritos next! read more

Excellent shrimp tacos and asada tacos. Great location, friendly service, an dreasonable prices. There's not much seating, but it's near Union Square where you can eat outside anywhere. Definitely one of the best taco places in the city. read more

I didn't care much for the chicken burrito as they use shredded chicken which I dread . Other than the chicken , the beans and flavors were on point. The burrito is on the smaller side so be aware . I'd return for the birria tacos . The meat was tender and plentiful and a lot more filling and satisfying . read more

Okay Jo's!!! If you're near Union square and looking for a quick bite, this might be just the thing! They have burritos, quesadillas, tacos. Very delicious. Minimal seating inside but good for a small group or solo eats. You order at the counter and food comes quickly. read more

Hands down the best quesadilla I've had maybe ever!!! The ladies were smiley, so warm, and fast. I was nervous there were no seats here but I snapped a pic for future patrons awareness - there are 3 tables and a mini bar for 3. The birria taco with consume dip was really good. Back to the quesadillas though lol she served it with spicy green sauce. I asked did she have regular salsa instead. Her answer was no but she said they have chipotle mayo. Listeeenn the quesadillas are flavorful & juicy you don't need sauce but the chipotle mayo every for every two bites was niiiice. If I'm in the area again I'd absolutely come here!!! Affordable, suitable, & delicioso! Go, enjoy!!! read more

Extremely yummy! I got 2 orders (each order is 2 tacos); one shrimp, the other chorizo. The texture on the tortilla is perfect, the shrimp was succulent, with a tad of aioli; the chorizo was a tad salty, but otherwise deeply flavorful and actually quite spicy (in a way that was nice and worked out). The pico de gallo was fresh and provided great counterbalance to the proteins. read more

Geez, we've been sleeping on this place. I had no idea that Jo's was so close to my apartment. It's a tiny space, but the food is bomb! Their birria tacos definitely rank in my top three around the city. Sadly, our fave, Kuxé, closed awhile back. As a close runner-up, Jo's satisfies, plus it's a lot closer to home. I'm not sure I'll ever understand the whole selling-the-consommé-as-a-separate-item thing, mostly because I feel like birria tacos are just a delivery device for the broth, but... I don't run the business. I just think it's a crime to order the tacos sans concomitant elixir. And the chicken quesadilla was easily one of the most jam-packed, delightful renditions of this dish I can recall having in the past year. It was bursting at the seams with fillings, and made for a great backup birria consommé sponge after we'd finished the tacos. Will definitely be back -- just have to time it so that we can score some seating; I'm skeptical that this grub would travel well. read more

Extremely small taco shop in the heart of the East Village. Seating for about 10. We enjoyed dining in as the food was extremely fresh. The two member restaurant team was welcoming and efficient.

I have nothing but good things to say about Jo's. It's a cute, very small restaurant near Union Square. It seats about 5 people total at a time but the food is impeccable. Some of the best Mexican food I've had in a while. The quesadilla and tacos were so flavorful and authentic. The staff were incredibly friendly and answered a lot of questions that we had. I definitely will be going back and I hope you guys show the small business some love! read more

Amazing and authentic taco spot!! The staff was super friendly, the service was relatively quick, and the food was so good. Honestly one of the best Mexican spots in the east village! I got this Al pastor burrito, which was great, and my buddy got the tacos. He said they were the best he's had in a while. Don't hesitate to try this spot it's phenomenal! read more

Jo’s Taco - Al pastor burrito - Tacos Near Me - New York, New York

First off, immediately when walking in, you feel surrounded; but in a familiar way. Not suffocating and stressful, but like walking into your favorite childhood Mexican food spot. Service was quick, efficient, and straight to the point. However I saw a care in this employee's eyes that I never quite got from Tacobell or hell even Chick Fil-A. I see passion. A real Mexican food spot with real people. I ordered a carne asade burrito and my friend ordered Birria tacos. We both thoroughly devoured our servings and also had assorted flavors of Jarritos to accompany the savory flavors. Great place, great people, a great familiar feeling. read more

Delicious quesadillas, good value, very friendly service! So good we went twice in one day.

Had a chorizo quesadilla that was top notch. Crisp, light tortillas, well seasoned chorizo and that great soft cheese inside. Go easy on the green sauce they give you on the side. It is NOT messing around. read more

Some of the best tacos I've ever had! Definitely top 5, might even be #2...and I'm from Southern California. The Al pastor was incredible! Definitely worth the money. read more

$17 for a burrito with shredded chicken and almost no beans, dry, green salsa could use something other than just spicy flavor. Very disappointing after a day of work. Do better Jo read more

The Barria tacos were delicious but they give you a little small size of the consome broth. So if you order the special of 2 tacos for $11 you don't have enough consome broth and that is what makes Barria tacos. They want you to buy a cup of the consome broth for $3.50. When other places give you a big cup of it when you order tacos. This is how they get you to spend more money. I felt cheated because Barria tacos are meant to have the consome broth. Good spot for tacos but make sure to expect a little small consome with your tacos! read more

Good taco I'm a fan and I'll be back. Also few options on 14th so this fills a nice gap

I absolutely LOVE this place!!. Give this place a try if you're ever on east 14th street and want really good burritos/tacos/quesadillas!. read more

Amazing food, great service and nice ambiance. I love this place. It's my favorite in America.

Stopped in a moment ago to check out the menu when I saw they offer shrimp tacos. I ordered two, they came out in 3-4 minutes, and were absolutely delicious. Perfectly spiced, healthy, fresh, super tasty. Very friendly people working and the service was street. This is my new go-to for grab and go. read more

We've been to Jo's Taco twice now and it is definitely a hidden gem. Best birria tacos in the city, and quite possibly the best quesadilla. We tried both the chicken and chorizo quesadillas; they're both fantastic but chorizo might have the edge. The chef, who I assume is Jo, is always friendly and greets you with a big smile. The place is tiny, with just a few two-tops, but they serve the food on real plates with a cute consommé bowl for the birria tacos. Definitely add this spot to your list, even if just for take-out. It will not disappoint. read more

I helped take some videos of Jo's and their products. Afterwards, we ended up ordering food from them and, I can say with total honesty, it was incredible. The chef is such a perfectionist that he works to make sure everything not just tastes good, but also LOOKS good. I appreciated his attention to detail and how they take the time to make housemade drinks, salsas, and sauces! It's a new spot in EV so not much traction yet, but I'm positive this place is gonna blow up. read more

Yes yes yes!!! Jo's Taco is soooooo good!! We tried multiple things (vegan and non-vegan) and everything was so fresh, tasty, and perfectly cooked. Plus everyone working there is incredibly nice and sweet. I recommend this place 100%. My only complaint is that it's TOO GOOD and I had to use all of my self control to not eat absolutely everything off the menu. Thank you Jo's Taco! read more
