The heights always has hidden gems and they never disappoint. If you're in a taco mood for authentic Mexican food this is a pleasant surprise to try. You walk in and are greeted by staff warmly and amazing decorations, statues, paintings and great music. It's a decent cozy spot but what they lack in space they make up in flavors! The bathrooms were nice and cleaned smelled nice. If your planning on drinking do not drive here lol take an uber or the train the drinks don't lack or disappoint they are very delicious and strong it sneaks up on you and I am not a light weight. We got the passionfruit Mojitos and mango Margaritas we made it to 3 each lol . We Definitely you order the Picadera it's like an appetizer sampler it comes with cheese quesadillas, fries, jalapeños, Dominican grill cheese, smoke pork chops, beef stake, chicken wings, Mexican sausage, tequilas fritas, guacamole, and shrimp but I'm allergic to sea food so we asked for no shrimp. It was all made well and very appetizing delectable, flavorful, luscious savory and spicy only on the jalapeño but to summarize it was deliciously yummy. I honestly got full with that and it's a good amount for 2 people to split. But we had already placed our main dish orders lol so we had to try it. We got greedy lol and my husband wanted to try the ceviche he said it was good lots of flavors but they need to give you more tortillas to balance the ratio of ceviche to tortillas. I couldn't try it again due to allergies. But I'll take his word for it. I got birria burrito style with consommé it was delicious as well but the consommé was a bit to water down for me otherwise an amazing experience. We definitely would come back and if you catch happy hour drinks are $7. We got lucky woo walked in at the right time. read more

I don't know why i keep wasting my money at this restaurant. Every time i order, the food is bland and poorly cooked. Never going back!

Pesimo el servicio la mesera que nos atendió estaba borracha o que show? no escucha bien o que ? Le dijimos que la comida que nos sobraba que para llevar y se hizo la que no escuchó ,y lo tiró ala basura ...al último pedimos una cubeta y ya se quería llevar la cubeta con una cerveza llena y cerrada que quedaba adentro ! read more

I had read good reviews of Taco Inn on neighborhood groups, but had never been enticed enough to pass by. In fact, I did not intend to go there today (was going to visit another Mexican spot which happened to be closed). All in all I would probably rate this a solid 3.5, but am bumping up to 4 because the drinks (tamarindo margarita) were good, and my shrimp quesadilla was filled with shrimp! I do feel that the quesadilla could have used some more seasoning. My friend didn't fully enjoy her gordita. Bites of chicharrón were too small and the dough lacked flavor. We would go back for drinks but maybe skip on the food or order tacos instead. Complimentary chips were crispy. Salsa was different- I liked it but my friend was not a fan. Place looks a bit dark from the outside but it's a huge spot with plenty of seating and good number of Mexican patrons and staff, which is always a good sign. read more

I've been eating here ever since I stumbled upon it two years ago. Taco Inn has never let me down. This is my moms favorite spot, they have the best horchata juice and it's the only place you can order delivery and your food won't get soggy. My favorites are the flautas and the guac here. Everything is fresh and the staff is super cool and fun. The place is spacious, clean and well decorated. They have Karaoke some week nights and for a night out with friends it's also fun. 100% recommend. I ordered again last night and wanted to update my review because they legit have never let me down. read more

They used to be good and now it's trash plus the prices went up. Charged me $41 dollars for a small order that used to be like $25. They don't season the chicken so the tacos tased like nothing. read more

It's pretty big in there. We went on a weekday around lunch time so it was quiet but had a steady flow of guests. We got sat & our orders taken pretty quickly. These birria tacos were amazingggg, we went weeks ago & still talk about them. Absolutely would go back, 10/10. read more

TACO INN - birria tacos - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

Been here at least 4-5 times now for either take out or dine in. The food is great but also the great service is what keeps me coming back. My wife and I love the fresh tacos and they even make the tortillas fresh in house! The music is not too loud and there's a great bar area with tap beer available & a bunch of liquor. Worth checking out, a gem in Washington Heights. read more

Just like most restaurants anywhere, the food cannot stay consistently good. Last time I had Taco Inn, the food was disgusting... I mean DISGUSTING! I ordered a carnitas quesadilla; the meat was nothing but fat pieces. I was spitting out every bite into a napkin since I could not even chew on the "meat." I also ordered breaded chicken cutlets. The chicken was black and freezing; it smelled horrible. How do you serve freezing cold chicken cutlets on top of hot microwaved bland rice. You could just tell it was old chicken grabbed out of a refrigerator and thrown into my order.  I called immediately to complain, and spoke to Anna. She said she would refund me or send me another replacement order. I did not take the offer, and just threw out all the food. Maybe they had an off day, but I am not eating here again to find out if they have anymore. ** Due to Guillermo's comment:: The pictures that I have are from other/past visits; you can see how old they are. I was a returning customer. I have been to the actual restaurant and ordered multiple times. Should I have taken pictures of the food in the garbage? As I stated before your employee ANNA offered me a refund or the order to be sent out again... It was so NASTY that I said NO THANK YOU! -- Learn from Yelp reviews, instead of being so defensive. read more

I would never order from this place ever again. Not only they messed up our order, they sent us possibly expired food. Their operation is extremely slopy and possibly not sanitary. My fiance and I made a pick up order here. I arrived 20 mins later and my food was ready to be picked up on their table. But all the servers were just busy taking new orders on the phone and made at least 4 groups of people and their food waiting in line. After about 10 mins, I reached out to the server directly and made them package my food before they become completely cold. The server seemed like she was rushing packaging my order. Putting things in and out of the bags constantly like she doesn't know what she is doing. So I asked straight to her face, "did you put tortillas in there?" She looked and me and said "yes." I arrived home with our food and surprise, not only there were no tortillas, they completely forgot to put our dessert which we already paid for. So my fiance called again. They made us pick up flan and tortillas in person, so I went. We even ordered additional dessert on top of it. I came back home the second time with my orders. My fiance took her first bite of the flan and she immediately spits it out and head to the bathroom. She said her flan didn't taste right at all. I smelled it and it smelled like some sort of tap water and heavy scent of refrigerator was coming from the flan itself. This flan smelled like it has been sitting in the refrigerator for weeks, possibly months. Doesn't have any individual expiration date marked on it to verify if it's safe to eat. And of course, no tortillas were included again. I am extremely disappointed. It seems like they just don't care at all. They constantly messed up our orders and even gave us questionable food that made my fiance throw up. This is possibly one of the worst dining experiences in this year. Would not recommend this place at all. read more

Eh sido clienta de Taco Inn desde que abrieron años atrás. Fui testigo de cómo poco a poco fueron crecieron y ampliando el restaurante. Y no es para menos, la comida es deliciosa. El servicio al cliente es excelente y el ambiente es excelente. Hacen Karaoke y uno se divierte mucho. read more

Great food, good prices and awesome vibe. Especially night time. Really good drinks. This is a gem in the heights for good Mexican food.

The girl on the phone is an animal, she doesn't know how to take orders and she blames you when the wrong food arrives at your house. Expensive and bad service. read more

This is my second time ordering and I am in LOVE! The tacos are sooooo good! It says on their menu that the tortillas are handmade and you can definitely taste the difference. I usually order their food on Uber Eats and the have followed the order notes every time, so I love that too! Definitely would recommend ordering from the super good! I really hope they don't change!! ¡Esta es la segunda vez que ordeno y estoy ENCANTADA! ¡Los tacos son muy buenos! Dice en su menú que las tortillas son hechas a mano y definitivamente puedes saborear la diferencia. Por lo general, pido su comida en Uber Eats y siempre han seguido las notas de pedido, ¡así que eso también me encanta! ¡Definitivamente recomendaría ordenar desde el súper bueno! Espero que no cambien!! read more

The red "sauce" that comes with the food has nuts in it, unlabeled. My wife had an allergic reaction because a dish with no nuts, tagged to have no nuts, came with hidden nuts. read more

Would not eat here again that's for sure. My wife and I came here last night and ordered steak nachos and a steak burrito which tasted like it was made with ground beef . It took 1 hour and 10 minutes just to get our order! Our waitress took so long that 40 minutes in, she finally passed by and asked if we wanted the check? We didn't even get our food yet! She laughed it off as we waited another 30 mins. Our fault for even waiting past 20 mins in the first place. We regret not leaving earlier. My wife wants to ask why do they put shredded lettuce in their nachos and sliced avocados instead of guacamole. It was so weird. Never again. For a street corner restaurant, they need to get their service and production speed up. read more

I ate here and it's cute. Social distancing is on full effect. Beers are really cold and they give them to u in these cute frosted cups or whateverrrr. Tacos are good! My friends got pollo and camarones. I got a burrito, which was so big! They were generous with the camarones which I appreciated!!! I also appreciated how they sliced the avocados and placed them on top of some lettuce and tomato with corn. That was cute. They also gave the table chips and 3 different dips in this cute lil container read more

Now that I know everything is practically made from scratch, which explains the long wait time, it was worth it. The tacos are delightful and tastes wonderful. The taquerias are also a great food selection. Brings me happiness to taste the amount of effort put into the food. Wonderful hidden gem! read more

I've been a client s one day one... when the restaurant was very small... I've witnessed first hand the growth and expansion. They went from a simple joke in the wall to a uniquely made establishment. I've tried so many dishes none disappoint. I went from tacos to alambres and hurraches, burritos and sopes... my husband and i love it so much we have been gifted chiles to make our own Mole negro.La comida , el ambiente , i la gente son fantástica. read more

Great spot in The Heights. We order here pretty frequently and the food is consistently good.

Honestly I think this place deserves a chance, despite the few bad reviews here. It's a restaurant, things happen. I worked in the hospitality business for years, there are people that appreciate what the establishment offers and there are those that feel the need to make sure no one ever thinks of stepping foot into your establishment ever again. Sadly it's the world we live in & after seeing so many negative reviews I'm actually baffled. My boyfriend brought me here on a rainy day after I got out of work & I enjoyed the food so much. I am a sucker for authentic Mexican food and this was exactly that. The food was great, way better than expected. Everything was so fresh! The service was just as good & they offer complimentary chips & salsa ? That's just the cherry on top of everything. read more

The food is delicious the service is quick and the ladies at the phone are very nice.

Taco Inn is our GO TO delivery spot for Mexican food in Washington Heights. My partner and I have been very spoiled in our prior home in California with a plethora of great, inexpensive Mexican food, and that is nearly impossible to find in Manhattan. We tried every taqueria in our area and Taco Inn is the best HANDS DOWN. The quesadillas are to die for. The Al Pastor is kick-ass. The burritos are FAT and tasty. They even have Flor de calabaza and huitlacoche! I've never seen the latter in the states. Do yourself a favor and order from them, you will not be disappointed. read more

This taco cost 3.50. More like .50 cents.... they lucky it taste mad good though. Should visit them though read more

Ladies and jelly spoons... the taco game in NY has officially been elevated. If you think you've found a more thorough taqueria in the 5 boroughs, you're fooling yourself. Slap yourself 5 times... HARD. Go! You finished? Good! Now repent! For Taco Inn is here to pardon the transgressions of NY's often maligned taco scene. For starters, their hand made tortillas are the right thickness. Perfect! Strong enough to hold a good amount of meat but thin enough to not take away from the flavor of everything you eat. I went with some classics: Bisket, Pastor, Pollo and Carne Enchilada. Half regular, half estilo Americano. Fantastic either way. Their sauces are also fantastic. Just enough heat to get the sinuses echoing but without taking away from the flavor. Price is perfect. Service is great. There is only one single drawback which is in no way the fault of the restaurant. They are close to a nail salon so that chemical smell from polish and the like may be off putting when you first enter. Brave it and treat yourself to amazing tacos. If you don't like it... slap yourself even harder for being a Gunther! I'm right, you're wrong. Period. read more

Good food at reasonable prices. The Alhambra is my favorite dish they serve. All told, I spend about $15 for enough food to keep me for three meals. read more

This place is really a hit or miss and sadly most of the times it's a miss. Last time I came here, I ordered the steak tacos, they didn't taste like anything. At first I thought it might of been the really watered down sour cream, until I actually tasted the steak, well lack there of. It seems the steak may be boiled instead of grilled? And the whole thing was just bland. My partner had gotten the burrito at this place before and had the same predicament. You can get better elsewhere for the same price read more

PLASTIC IN FOOODDD!!! The worst place to order tacos from in Manhattan. Aside from finding two pieces of sharp plastic inside of my food, the woman who answered the phone is extremely rude. Every single time I request to speak to a manager or someone who speaks English, she hangs up. There is no type of customer service! They serve terrible food. Someone can get extremely hurt from eating here. I've ordered from here twice in once year and both times there were objects in my food!!! read more

Everything from the carnitas tacos to the steak burrito are absolutely amazing! This place is my go to at least once every week.

Substandard tacos. Stay away better tacos around the corner. Favorless and over price

Don't recommend this place at all. Went in to take my grandparents to eat near their neighborhood. The wait for the food was extremely long! All together it was a group of 10 and went with an open mind for the wait time but they took more than 1hr and a half. They might remember my family and I referencing watching a full soccer game there and not being served. About the 2hr mark we received our food and a one of waitresses accidentally dropped some fries on my brothers face and didn't apologize. This has been the worse service I've ever received and the food was not enough for us to even say it was worth the wait. read more

Milanesa Torta, easily one of the best Tortas I've ever had. I ordered it for delivery and when I got it, it was still warm and came with the most amazing green sauce I have ever had. Seriously delicious. Can't wait to try their other menu items. Major yumminess. read more
