    Al pastor
    Steven L.

    Large hole in the wall tacos. Al pastor tacos $4 each and packed with meat and very flavorful. After ordering, the food comes out fast. No seating but standing counter tables to eat only. Probably one of the best taco in NyC.

    Looking for something different on a late Saturday night, and this spot was pretty lively. Basic storefront with a menu up top and an awning to wait while your order comes out. Options are mostly based on tostadas and tacos, with some other Mexican standbys. Settled on the Al Pastor Burrito ($10) and a Pollo Taco ($4). Food comes out within a few minutes, packed well in containers. Are the taco on the walk back. Good tortilla and basic ingredients inside. Burrito has a lot of flavor, and the meat inside is plentiful (not just rice). Perfect with some hot sauce. No fuss place and better than the trucks nearby. Definitely worth going if needing a late night bite.

    Delicious super filling mexican food just a couple stops from Mets Stadium. I used to go to Taco Veloz years ago and decided to visit recently after visiting the US Open. Just as good as I remember. They have lots of different toppings and a pretty thorough selection of tacos, tortas (sandwiches), and burritos. The service is fast and friendly. Eating in means standing and eating at the counter which is perfect for late night with some friends. The tacos slap. The only change I would make is for fresh tortillas. Also watch out for the hot sauce. Its legit hot.

    Still on the hunt for the best tacos Went here on a late weekday night. I was one of only a few customers that was waiting outside. They do have good tacos but I wish they didn't reheat meats on the grill. It would have been so much better if it was fresh. However still good nonetheless, I recommend going on a weekend or maybe Friday night when there are more customers so you can get fresh meat and not reheated on the grill. Nonetheless still good tacos, also they serve it with good hot sauce and limes. Also they have a good horchata too 4 stars

    I beat the crowd and ordered my 12 tacos before others came after me so my order took up most of the grill. Service was fast, food was delicious and that red sauce was since it was making me sweat. Got the Al pastor, carnita, pollo and bistec. I can pass the pollo next time but everything else was good. $4 each taco!

    Spicy Chicken, Al Pastor, and Goat Tacos (Top to Bottom)

    How have I missed out on these 24 hour tacos until now!?!? The variety of available tacos is incredible. Is there anything missing off the menu that you could possible want on a taco? Everything is made super fast and comes out super hot with Cilantro and Onions on request. On a recent visit, I tried the Spicy Chicken, Al Pastor, Goat Tacos, Carnitas and Pollo Tacos. All the meats were tender were with the goat tacos being my favorite. There's not much room to stand and eat. Actually there is really no room to stand and eat. If you are able squeeze out what little counter space is available, be prepared to eat quickly. Traffic in this neighborhood is just short of a nightmare and parking is always tight. Visiting on foot is recommended. If in a hurry, call ahead!

    The best tacos north of San Francisco Tetlahnocan, Tlaxcala, Mexico. These are real Mexican tacos. Amazing.

    Disassembled steak burrito.

    Great tacos/burritos in the area. The best by far. You must try. They have increased their prices pre-pandemic (didn't they all), but would still get my tacos here.

    Tongue and steak tacos.
    Maram A.

    Don't be turned off from coming here just because it isn't a sit down restaurant. This taco stand delievers simple tacos to eat on the street or on the go. The meat is flavorful and moist. I had the tongue chicken and steak taco. It was t h.g e perfect sn az vi to hold me over for until dinner. The hot sauce was very spicy. They are not playing wh ed n it comes to that. Soon after I ordered the stand became very crowded. It's pretty good quality for the price tag. They also have Mexican sodas which are refreshing to have with your meal. Mera's Tip: watch out for that hot sauce. It's no joke!

    Love their taco! Authentic and meaty! Beef and trips tacos are off the hook. Especially their tripa taco is so tasty and unique but a bit salty though.

    We came from Manhattan to try these tacos and to say the least, they definitely had good tacos! I think they had many options and were good sized but the only great things about the taco were the meat. The tortilla did not really compliment the meat as they are store bought and not hand made there at the restaurant. The food came out quick and the people were super nice letting us eat there as well. The place was under the train tracks a little so it was loud as the trains past by. Overall decent spot, would still recommend.

I haven't been to their other locations in the city, but this was really quite good.

The standout for me was the Molcajete Norteño, the fried octopus with guacamole, which was delicious. The most annoying part of the experience was when a kid came in and turned the music up extremely loud, then started singing a solo and going around asking everyone for tips afterward. We gave him $3 for his effort, but honestly, it was more loud and annoying than entertaining. I'm not even sure if he worked there or was just someone who came in off the street. Overall, the food was solid and the service was friendly, but I'm not exactly counting down the days until my next visit.

Ay Guey is tucked away on an unsuspecting side street where you would not expect to find a bomb Mexican restaurant. When I walked in around 5 pm on a Friday this place was absolutely jumping. One server was not only handling the entire (albeit small) dining room, but was also serving all the drinks for said patrons. He was truly a machine, so much so that I didn't even mind that our drinks took a minute for him to get to. We sat at the bar with him which was small but cozy. He let us know it was still happy hour, so we had our fill of the strongest $10 margaritas I've ever experienced before happy hour ended at 7 pm. Palomas, sangria, and their signature watermelon drink are also included in this happy hour deal. We kicked things off with the best nachos I've ever had. Absolutely loaded with all the toppings, crunchy and delicious. Next, I had the ceviche which was fresh and beautifully made. My date had a sad cheese quesadilla because he's vegetarian - but our server let us know that next time they can throw some veggies in there if we ask so that it's not so sad looking. Our server, despite being busy AF, was in great spirits laughing and joking with us. I would definitely come back here for the food and ambiance. 10/10.

Cozy but not cramped, cute little spot that's great for Summer relaxed vibes and munchies. They're specialized in Latino food and drink. They apparently have a whole flight of Margaritas and/or Mojitos to sample - I'd love to try one sometime, however yesterday I stuck with a regular Margarita and was pretty pleased. Clearly made in-house, none of the store-bought drink mixes or anything involved. My mom and I split a few appetizers between the two of us and were quite full, even had some food to bring home. Went with the birria tacos (solid), a trio of other tacos (steak + chicken + pork), and a plate of fried plantains with beef and mushrooms that was really fun - first time we'd had that, glad the waitress talked us into it. Everything came with home-made guac as well. They have a full bar with quite the selection of drinks, lots of Happy Hour specials up on the walls, and a solid, straightforward menu of additional appetizers and also burgers and sandwiches. The staff are super nice and upbeat. My Ma was buying, and I believe she spent about $85 for 3+ appetizers and a drink. Not exactly cheap but it you think of it more as a filling and fairly tasty lunch for 2, roughly $40 each - it's not bad at all. Will definitely come back and give that flight of Margs a try!
