Came here for lunch on a Saturday and had no issues getting seated right away. There's a mix of seating outside, indoors and on a covered patio. It's def a casual ambiance, but you do have a server who will take your order so it's not like Los Tacos. There's also two restrooms available. The hostess and server were both super nice! We ended up staying for 2.5 hours and didn't feel rushed to leave. We got a large guac and chips to split, and then I got a horchata for myself as well as the crispy fish taco and shrimp taco. Everything was sooo good and I actually felt pretty full at the end. The only thing I didn't love as much are the totopos aka chips that come with the guac, but that's just because I prefer thinner chips. I would def return if I'm in the area! read more

Came around 5- not super busy. Friendly and fast service. The agua Fresca was SO delicious. I got watermelon & pineapple combined. YUM. all of the tacos were yummy, the sauces went perfect with each taco. Only complaint is that the chips were overcooked and really hard. read more

Very disappointing lunch experience at Tacombi on 25 Lafayette ave, Brooklyn. I ordered a fish taco with a side of rice and beans. The first water cup they gave me had a lipstick mark on it. I asked for a clean one, but it appeared they brought back the same cup after simply wiping it off. My fish taco arrived, but my rice and beans never did. I also asked for a fork and never received one. After waiting a long time, I ended up eating my taco while everything else was forgotten. When I went to pay, a server finally showed up with the rice and beans, but by then I had already finished my meal. They removed it from the bill, which I appreciated, but that's not really the point. I understand it was a busy Sunday, but "every customer deserves attention', even when dining alone. Between the dirty cup and the poor service, it was a frustrating experience, and unfortunately, I won't be returning. read more

Decided to have lunch here while Xmas shopping at the Apple Store nearby and glad I came. I feel that Tacombi is slightly better quality than Los Tacos and less chaotic as well. I sat in the well themed and decorated dining room on a rainy Tuesday which was perfect since it's BOGO free taco Tuesday! No complaints there I ordered a carne asada and shrimp tacos which were excellent and in addition the corn cup which is a unique appetizer that I've started to love! My waiter was excellent and the overall service was exemplary which always helps the dining experience I'll be back and I'll bring friends ! read more

Food is unseasoned , drinks watered down, and service is sub par. They seemed to be understaffed on a Saturday which is crazy. Skip!

Came here for lunch was blown away I had the steak tacos crispy fish taco and birria. And it's was all very good the steak was so good I got another. The crispy fish was very good just need the smallest amount is salt and it would have taken it over the top the birria was good too. Nice vibes, the food comes out fast. Will definitely come back read more

This is a retro looking restaurant. Its kind of fast food but sit down. They have a simple menu. They have a few vegetarian options, few seafood, few chicken, and a few meat ones. They offer them in a taco, quesidillas or burrito option. My favorite was the sweet potato taco. We also got the chicken tinga taco and quesidilla. The taco and quesidilla are different in the type of tortilla they use. It was tasty with authentic flavors. We also got the street corn. Its served in a paper cup. Its good but needed a little kick with hot sauce, which they have on the tables. I washed it off with a mango margarita. It was nice and strong. The Pina colada was refreshing but needed a little a better mixing. The service could have been a little faster but it was busy. read more

I've been a long time fan of Tacombi, and this location is conveniently located right across from BAM for be as when I see a show (or more accurately, Ina Garten's book tour). I have my regular order at Tacombi which usually consists of the corn, the al pastor taco, and the fried fish taco. Fish tacos are one of my favorite things, and here they have both fried and seared as options. I also loveeee their Paloma cocktail -- do yourself a favor and get the pitcher. On a Tuesday around 6pm before a sold out show, it was about a 30-45min wait. We ended getting a seat at the bar which he first come first serve after about 15min. A great spot to come if you're looking for reliable Mexican food with a consistent menu and good drinks. read more

Tacombi is a perfect pre or post event meal especially if you are near BAM Opera House or Brooklyn Paramount. The staff is efficient and does their best to accommodate all guests. The beef birria tacos and the side of dipping sauce was very flavorful and filling. It can become busy quite quickly with customers dining and also take out and delivery orders. read more

Not sure why they only have a 4.3 rating--this place is amazing! The food is super authentic, and it honestly feels like I'm in Mexico. I had a margarita with Tajín, and even the Tajín is homemade! I'll definitely be coming back. I had beef Birria and Pollo taco and my husband loved beef ribeye quesadilla. Their sodas are good too! End with Churros. read more

Fast, Flavorful & Full of Good Vibes Tacombi - Lafayette St, NYC Yelp Elite Review Stopped in for a quick bite with two of my sister-friends and was seriously impressed with how efficient and delicious everything was. The vibe is casual and cool--perfect for a mid-day taco fix or a chill dinner meetup. Shoutout to Nat V for providing 10/10 service--friendly, fast, and on point the entire time. Now for the food rundown: * Fish & Shrimp Tacos - Solid 8/10. Fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot. * Avocado Tostada w/ extra spicy sauce - 10/10. Creamy, spicy, and completely addictive. * Shrimp with Black Beans & Rice - 8.5/10. Hearty, satisfying, and well-seasoned. The kicker? Everything came out lightning fast. No exaggeration--they don't play about timing here. We were in and out, full and happy, with a total tab of just $36. Definitely a win. I'll absolutely be back when I have more time to sit, snap some pics, and dive into the drink menu. This spot is a hidden gem for a quick and tasty bite in Downtown Brooklyn. read more

Came for the Califa de Leon tacos at Tacombi with friends. We tried both the steak and pork tacos. Starting with the good and great, the ambience was lovely, plenty of seating, and things were organized well within the restaurant. Our service was fantastic and super quick, attentive, friendly. The biggest let down was actually the tacos!!! I have had street tacos for half the price that tasted far better... It felt like the meat wasn't seasoned at all. The tortilla was pretty delicious and the flavor reallyy pops. I tried both the steak and pork tacos (4 for $22) during dinner and was not satiated... The vibes were good and the service was great, but the food was a let down. I've had tacombi before and I almost feel like the regular tacos are better. read more

I walked in to this place before the show at BAM, it's busy has a great vibe. and we thought we would just come in for a quick bite becasue it's taco should be fast. but it took almost an hour for two taco orders. not sure if they forgot our order, but we asked three times finally another waitress came over to help us sort it out . food is good but dont have time to try more becasue it was too slow. read more

Have eaten here to go and seated multiple times and have a few thoughts. Delivery hasn't really been worth it for us, aside from the to-go cocktail (the Sandía Santa is fantastic and comes in a cute little jug with a resealable lid). Other than that, the small guacamole leaves a lot to be desired in terms of portion size, and the food just felt lacking compared to eating it fresh at the restaurant. Now as far as dining at the restaurant, I have nothing but good things to say. We ordered guacamole and corn esquites which tasted fresh and were sizable portions! The beef birria and al pastor tacos were incredible and you can really taste the quality of the ingredients. All of the salsas shined in their own way, with the green Gobernador Salsa being my favorite in terms of spice to flavor. We sat outside which was pleasant and service was good, nothing out of the ordinary. Overall, I would eat here again, especially in the summer! read more

Tacombi - Beef Birria Taco. - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've heard so many mixed messages for Tacombi but decided to try it anyways because it was very close to the Barclay's Center. We ended up having to sit outside as we were quite a large party but that's alright. - Corn Esquites - I really need to try Mexican Street Corn because I love corn and I love Mexican seasoning. This was my first time trying Corn Esquites and I loved it as the sweet corn went perfectly well with the cheese and other seasonings. What a great way to start the meal. - Seared Fish Tacos - This taco was not too memorable. Can't really remember what the flavors were anymore, and also it was a bit expensive. - Agua De Sandia - Why was this one of the best drinks I've had in NYC? I don't know why, but this juice was so incredibly fresh, the watermelon flavor was very full. It also wasn't too sweet as well which would make me feel like they put an excessive amount of sugar in there. Highly recommend getting this drink! Overall, not bad experience at Tacombi especially as everything but the tacos (the corn and drinks) were delicious. Definitely would come back if going to Barclay's Center again. read more

Tacombi - Corn Esquites - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Usually before seeing something at BAM I play a game in which I try to remember if I like Tacombi. So already you can tell that the food is not memorable enough to be loved or hated. Recently I played this game and was reminded that it's a 2.5-3 star experience. It's barely passable Mexican food. Usually over-salted but also too bland, no spice unless you use the salsas. It serves its purpose in terms of preventing purchases of overpriced concessions at BAM but doesn't go beyond that. Service is good, ambiance is fine. But if you're looking for good Mexican food you will want to keep searching. read more

Tortillas have great corn flavor. The pork is dry but the salsa gives it good moisture. The beef is very thin and harder to eat. The tortilla falls apart while biting through the beef. Neither were particularly stand out but like many have mentioned the salsas are great. read more

Tacombi - A Al Pastor Taco. (Left) and Baja Crispy Fish Taco. (Right) Corn Esquites. - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This Tacombi has really good food. Way better than the Wall Street one. This place gets packed especially if BAM has a performance. They won the location lottery. I love the Al Pastor burrito with an extra side of red sauce, the corn app and the fish taco is truly as amazing as they say it is. I've had a lot of fish tacos in my day and I do think it's one of the best I've ever had. It's a madhouse in there to pickup. They do so much takeout it could literally be its own separate thing. Their staff works really hard, you can tell and the host has a very hard job. Sometimes it seems like it's a little understaffed. Sometimes the restaurant will be completely full front and back and a million takeout and delivery orders. Phone ringing off the hook and only like 2 servers and 1 host. It's kinda insane. I've worked at a lot of restaurants, so I know their business could support having more people. read more

Service was nice and quick. I found the fish taco to be nice and crispy with flavor. But the birria ramen was underwhelming. The ribeye taco was alright. Didn't really leave a good or bad impression. read more

Tacombi - Baja Crispy Fish Taco. - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is another Mexican place recommended by my brother-in-law. He said he and his boyfriend come once a week. I think they come so often that the hostess knows their names and they know her name. This place is a chain. There's actually one location on the UES. They sat us in the back patio under a red light, which is why all the pictures have a red glow to them...sorry about that. I actually really liked this place. It is authentic Mexican. My BIL and my husband got the burritos. My BIL's boyfriend got a quesadilla. I started with 2 tacos and I was still really hungry after wards so I got a third taco. It was a mistake because I ended up feeling super full afterwards. But I think the food was really good and if it weren't so far, we'd go more often. read more

Oh my YUM!!! When I visit Brooklyn for work I purposely stay at a hotel within walking distance of this place! I eat as many meals possible here, working my way through the menu! Extraordinary food and service- every single time! I have had almost every kind of taco. Each has its own unique flavor, rich and colorful. The guacamole is perfection- it would taste amazing on cardboard! The atmosphere is warm and friendly no matter what time of day I have been there. Tonight I got to meet Gio and it all makes sense- this food is made and shared with us with love. Totally worth going out in the freezing cold!!! read more

On a sunny Sunday after a workout. We sat in the indoor/outdoor sun room, which had a warming greenhouse effect. We ordered Baja fish tacos, guacamole and birria tacos. And some margaritas to enjoy the afternoon. The birria tacos were delicious and super crunchy, which I recommend. I usually get the Baja fish tacos and they were consistent, though the tortilla was slightly soggy by the time we received them. Guac was on point! Great place for a quick lunch or drink. read more

Ummm I love it here! Tacos are great well priced good vibes + and our server Irene was sooo lovely!!!

A few friends and I ate here before seeing a show nearby at the Irondale Center in Fort Greene. The restraunt is located in what used to be Berlyn, across the street from the BAM opera house. Its super close to the Atlantic Terminal as well. I was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful interiror and outdoor heated patio. There was lots of room to socially distance if you wanted to. We started indoors and ended up moving to a larger table when more friends joined us. Both were very cool! You start by filling out a paper with what you'd like to order. We shared an order of the chips and guac, I got a watermellon cocktail, and a few types of tacos to sample. My friends also ordered drinks, tacos, and a quesadilla. I was surprised the quesadilla came "open face" or without a lid. It must be a Tex-Mex or Americanized version I'm familar with. Anyway - I loved all of the tacos and would order them all again. The chips and guac was a standout - and my watermellon cocktail. I can't believe the portion size for the chips and guac! Literally half the plate was guac, and the chips were homemade and thick. 10/10. My cocktail was made with real watermellon. It was a great experience, and I would deffinitely return. read more

Last week, I came here and ordered a couple of things. The fish taco was actually really good. I also got a drink, but when I went to take a sip the glass literally split in half and the drink spilled all over me and my friend (new fear unlocked ). I didn't drop it or anything, it just came apart in my hand. Such a freak accident. The only thing the server did was comp my drink.. nothing else. I guess because I was wearing black, it didn't seem like a big deal to them, but it definitely was for me, my shoes were completely ruined. I don't usually leave reviews, but I keep thinking about how crazy that moment was, and everyone I tell says something more should have been done. I was in such a good mood prior, that i really didn't let it bother me. Anyway, the food was ok, but if you come here, maybe keep your drink on the table and ask for a straw... just in case. read more

Do not consider ordering from here with UBER EATS. You face the likely risk of finding out that your delivery time grows from 30 minutes to 40, then to 60, and later above 2 hours, and raising; and if you cancel it you are charged the full check by Uber, for getting nothing. NO FOOD, by FULL COST. Can it get any worse? It has happened to me. The Tacombi team tries to help but there is nothing they can do. They should just abandon Uber, as I did last night. Don't put yourself in this situation. I used to love this place. Now it gives me very bad feelings. I removed it from my list. read more

I came here for a friend's birthday celebration and I was excited because I love a good taco but I should have known it was going to be expensive because of where it's located. I know everything is more expensive but when I saw that the tacos are about $7 each, I expected it to be stuffed or a bit bigger than the tacos I get for $3 in my neighborhood. I got the complete opposite. I got like 6 pieces of carne and a slice of pickled jalapeños. There wasn't any cilantro or any other garnishes on it. They did serve a bunch of bottles with different sauces and that's what ended up saving my taco. I ordered the Baja fish taco because i had read that this place serves the best Baja fish and I've got to admit that it was pretty good thanks to the poblano mayo in it. This place does serve the best corn esquites I've ever had. I ordered Jamaica aqua fresca and I got a little cup with it. I told the waiter that I had not asked for a shot and he told me that it was actually a tiny cup of aguave honey for the Jamaica. I had a sip and realized that the honey was necessary and that made all the difference in flavor. The ambiance was chill and we sat at an outdoor tented area, which was well-heated and lit up like the Red District at Amsterdam. I dug the lighting and the service. The staff was very helpful and quick with the orders. They make it easier for everyone to order by placing menus on the table with pencils where you can check what you want to eat. It was definitely different but it was quick and efficient. Oh read more
