    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.

    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.

    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.

    Elisa H.

    $3 per taco with 10-12 options to choose from. They are generous with the chopped meat grilled with onions and cilantro... and you can have at it at the sauce and condiments bar. But if you took to-go like I did, they give plenty of green sauce, red sauce and radicchio slices. Wow o wow, in order of Best to good: 1. Goat (Chivo) 2. Compechano (chorizo & beef) 3. Al pastor 4. Bistec 5. Tongue 6. Carnitas 7. Tripa We will so be back for the rest of the menu. It doesn't surprise me there's always a short wait here even when it's 24/7 or close to. Amazing prices for incredible flavors.

The menu is entirely in Spanish but the waiters can help if needed. We ordered the Gobernador taco, a half dozen shrimp, the regular guacamole and the aguachiles verdes. The Gobernador was a large size - really more like a mini quesadilla than a taco in my mind. It was flavorful and filled with seafood. The half dozen shrimp were cooked well, but a little hard and messy to peel. The guac was good, a little oily but tasty. The aguachiles were really good but borderline too spicy for me. The spice continued to build as I ate them and it did feel less enjoyable but it was good to start. My main grievance with this restaurant was how loud it was. I was yelling and struggling to hear what my friend or the waiter said, but the food was delicious. Maybe if it were less crowded it would be ok, but definitely not a great atmosphere for having a conversation.

The food looked great as far as I could tell , owner was sitting at the front of the Restaurant, didn't ask tables at anytime if customers are happy with their food and service. I don't get it I he noticed me sitting there with an empty table and a coke . I don't think Food or Location is the problem, it's missing customer service, and wait staff should be trained properly. My food is still in the fridge , lost my desire to try . Place wasn't even busy . I am giving 3 stars just for the chef , wasn't her fault. Table service and management 0 stars .

Once again, I achieved mediocre results at the city's only option for this messy, delicious torta of epic ambitions. The sandwich itself, however, is done wonderfully, with the right sloppy texture to the filling that you hope for. Of course, the appropriate chilaquiles verdes are employed. (A note of caution for vegetarians: it automatically is served with a chicken milanesa, so ask them to remove it if you have restrictions.) The sopes we tried were a bit bland, but that's just more reason to stick to the specialty here. The bread for the cemitas and tortas is also baked in house.

They make really tasty Cemitas, tacos, tostadas, quesadillas, etc. in-house (even baking the bread for their sandwiches and making their own potato chips), and they provide hearty portions for a reasonable price. I hope they are successful because they're a welcome addition to the neighborhood, and especially that particular block of 69th street. My husband loved their Cubana Cemita, which was massive, and I really enjoyed the pollo quesadilla, which came with rice and salad on the side. I look forward to trying other dishes soon.
