Getting a burrito at a taco spot, user error. It was the size of my face and stuffed with rice and beans for four. Meanwhile, my guy John had a tray of immense craftsmanship and limes. Fragrant limes. Science was always a tough subject academically, but I can spot chemistry from a mile away. The duo inside this cart was akin to prime Han Solo and Chewbacca. Minimal communication was necessary to make my park bench dinner feel like so much more. Cash only businesses are a dying breed, but these guys have the best plot armor south of 33rd. I'd visit here again, but I could understand an aversion from one who's built Charmin soft to roadside cuisine. Street tacos, thank you. Park bench sack dinners, thank you. FTD suggestions, thank you. Tacos Cholula, thank you. read more

I was staying in a FiDi hotel when I saw this taco truck. The lineups at 11 pm for food piqued my interest when I was coming home for the night. I ordered pork taco and a fish taco. Wasn't expecting them to be so big when I opened up the container they were in. The pork taco was absolutely delicious. Wasn't as wild about the fish taco though. Surprised that they would use salmon as the protein source, and there wasn't a white sauce with it. Otherwise, very happy with the meal. read more

This taco truck is on a relatively calm street. You can post up next to the truck at a folding table to eat. The people in the truck are friendly and helpful. I ordered chicken tacos. The chicken was nicely marinated, but not quite as juicy as I prefer. The tortillas were handmade and fresh. The toppings were generous and fresh. I recommend tacos here if you're in the area and craving tacos. read more

Good people who make damn good food. Hidden food truck the entire East Village loves. Operates like an old school neighborhood spot.

Tried the steak and al pastor tacos. Both are super solid choices. The meat is juicy (not dried out like other places), it's a big taco, and it's a good price! The sauce helps to bring everything together too. I'd have this any day over some of the chain places. read more

This taco truck feels a bit like a hidden gem. Came across it while wondering around the Wall St. area and gave some tacos a try. I tried a new type of taco that I never had before which was this goat barbaccoa (chivo), which was amazing and very flavorful. I can't recall any taco truck or brick-and-mortar that I've been too that offers this, so I felt that was very unique and will get me to come back. The Al Pastor was also pretty banging. Fresh, juicy with pineapple, and very flavorful. We got some Jarritos as well and they were really cold which was delightful on a hot summer day. This truck definitely exceeds expectations, I highly recommend hunting it down and giving it a shot. read more

For street cart tacos: Tacos Cholula is surprisingly good. My girlfriend and I needed a bite to eat before grabbing a drink one Ave A one Friday night and decided this was a better choice than dollar slice pizza. This tiny cart has a big menu (tacos, burritos, cemitas, et al), and all for pretty cheap. She ordered two chorizo tacos and I snagged an al pastor and a barbacoa. At just $3.50 a piece (a dollar more for the barbacoa), it was a good deal. The al pastor was juicy and just smoky enough while the barbacoa was fall apart tender. All in all: a solid choice if you're out and about on the block. read more

Wow, I've been walking by this cart frequently and am so glad I stopped to try their burrito. No wonder there's always a line. The chorizo burrito was so good, warm and filling! I would definitely come by to try the other options on the menu. read more

Although their beef burrito is delicious, the guy who works there tried to overcharge me until I caught him. When I asked him how much I owed him, He reluctantly said $15. The price is on the truck ($12 for chicken and and add $1 more for beef) and you cannot simply add two dollars. If he didn't, I am more than happy to tip him! read more

There has been no bigger pleasure in my life then to writing this review. You may walk past this truck like it's any weird street meat in NYC, but god you would be an idiot to do that. I have been eating burritos my entire life and I still can't believe this place. The first time I went I was drunk. I had the steak burrito and was amazed. I woke up and thought "huh that was a delicious drunk burrito." The next week I went sober after soccer. It was even better. The 2 people working the cart have friendly eyes, but don't let that fool you they can make a spicy burrito. Beware of the hot if you are spice intolerant. Seriously, go to this place. They deserve a restaurant! This is my friend Tyler enjoying his first burrito - boy was he happy! read more

I've gone to this spot a decent amount of times pre and post covid and well, it doesn't disappoint. (Although, it does taste better the later and less sober you are). Okay, don't get me wrong, It's not anywhere close to California Burritos, but it's good for NY standards. I go here once in awhile to grab a quick burrito and it does the trick in filling me up! If you are looking for a decent burrito, then come on through to try this spot out. read more

Best ever! Flavorful, fresh. The vegetable tacos are perfection, which is rare. And the people are SO nice.

I knew the tacos here would be amazing once I walked up to the tiny cart plastered with menus of all kinds of cheap Mexican food, and manned by two no-nonsense Mexican guys. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the tacos were just $2.50 each, since I've been getting used to these silly small plates restaurants charging $10 or more for a few tacos. I was even more pleased once I had a Steak Taco and a Chicken Taco here and discovered that these are some of the best, cheapest, most authentic tacos I've tried in NY (so far second only to Los Tacos No. 1 maybe). This cart is just great. You should definitely come try it, especially if you whine about how there is no good Mexican food in NY. I definitely want to come back ASAP to try some of the amazing-looking Tortas and Cemitas. read more

The burritos and tacos are amazing highly recommend this NYC food truck if you're looking for fast but authentic Mexican.

Tacos Cholula serves some good ass tacos. For $3.50, they really pile on the meat. Located right in front of Slice, the truck is there most days of the week. They have more than just tacos but I haven't tried anything but. I don't see why anyone would hit up Casa Enrique for tacos that cost almost $10 for two when you can get three for $10 here. read more

Definitely check this Mexican street food cart out whenever you're in the area drunk or sober. They offer a variety of burritos, tacos and Mexican sodas here all for under $10. The people that run this cart are genuinely nice folks and their love for Mexican food is apparently in the food that they offer. They're actual Mexicans, so that how you know this cart is the real deal! The burritos and tacos are all amazing and prepared right in front of you. The location of the cart is smack-dab in the middle of Alphabet City, right in the vicinity of nearby bars, so there's no need to trek out to Queens to get your authentic Mexican food fix. Personally, I've only had the chip and guacamole and it was a delicious appetizer. Only complaint I had was that there were too many chips with a small container of guacamole haha. I will definitely be back in the near future whenever I'm craving Mexican food in the area. read more

Five stars for service and food! I passed by this taco "truck" a few times and in my quest to find the best Mexican food in East Village, stopped there on the way from work today. I believe it is a couple that runs this place and they're pretty efficient! I got two vegetarian tacos, extra spicy (it was not spicy enough though). It has rice, beans, lettuce, tomatoes and other goodness on it. The tacos were pretty large and I was full with just two! This still ain't California standards but pretty good! They have other Mexican yummy dishes such as quesadilla. Recommended for pick up! read more

I saw this place featured on Aziz Ansari's Netflix comedy Master of None where him and his buddy Arnold were on a quest to find the best tacos in NYC. I didn't really think it existed until I looked up tacos in NYC and it appeared lol! Funny enough I just happened to be in the Village walking by the place and randomly walked right into it. Just like on the show it's basically a food truck/cart parked on the corner of Avenue A & 2nd. The guys in there were really cool and helpful in picking the best tacos. I got the carne asada and al pastor spicy. Very nice sized tacos that were really good with all the toppings. I stood right there on the corner and scarfed them down. While I'm not sure if they are the best tacos in NYC, but I can say they are some pretty good ones. read more

Sometimes you pre-game Yelp events, and sometime you post-game them. Tacos Cholula was perfect for post-gaming. I went with the chicken tinga and the al pastor. Loved them both.

Ugh Aziz was right- these ARE the best Tacos in NYC. And they come from a cart. Ventured here twice-- once mid-day and once mid-night. Both times DELICIOUS. Ive tried the chicken, carnitas, and al pastor. Must say I like them all but the al pastor wins every time. Do yourself a favor and get them with EVERYTHING On top. It might be slightly spicy but worth it. Also, about 3.50$ but so worth it- theyre pretty huge. 2 tacos does the job, 3 if you're starving (i've seen this work for large guys and small gals that can put it away.) Really nice guys that work there and play fun music. [ loved hearing the theme song to one of my favorite telenovelas.] Cash only! Enjoy. read more

Delicious and authentic Mexican food and soft tacos made while you wait. I've had the chicken, goat, roast pork & beef tongue tacos. All tacos include fresh cilantro, onions, guacamole, spicy sauce, & they throw in fresh slices of radish. All delicious and for $2.50 a taco, a great value. My favorite so far are the beef tongue and roast pork. The beef tongue was soft & tender, cooked just right. Altogether you get a choice of about 10 different meats, including a vegetarian taco. I've yet to try the other assortments of quesadillas, burritos, etc. (how do they make all these delicious treats in that tiny little truck?!), but I've no reason to believe these are any less great. I'll find out soon enough and let you know. :) Btw, they also deliver! read more

The most legit Mexican food I've had in New York. As a SoCal girl, my motto has always been, the simpler the better. The hole in the wall places are the best. And yes, this place may be a cart, but for that...all the better! The men who work in the cart are absolutely amazing. They're super nice and the food comes out quick. What more could you want? I normally opt for the steak quesadillas ($5.50) and chicken tacos ($3). The food has never disappointed, especially for the price! They only take cash so make sure you have something on you and watch out for the spicy sauce. It's a kick in the mouth, but it burns soooo goood. read more

Does anyone know what happened? Did they move spots? Hasn't been on Ave A & 2nd st in weeks.

Great late night spot after having much mezcal. Only gripe was the tostada was soggy and falling apart

Definitely one of the best places to eat late at night, be ware there is usually a wait and if you are not clear with your order or don't double check it with them something will go wrong. Ive lost chips, gotten the wrong ingredients, even been missing guac a few times (and once you walk away don't even bother coming back to argue bc they will just ignore you). Yet time and time again I am back waiting in line (yes there is always a wait normally more for food than for ordering) and you will be too. I recommend the carnitas bowl :) read more

I always pass by this taco stand near my apartment. The menu always look mouth watering and I wanted to order everything there. I bought 2 soft shell tacos. Carnitas which is pork and chicken. It comes with cilantro, onions, guacamole, and spicy sauce is optional. They will ask if you want any. Do not get the spicy sauce if you can't handle the spice. The sauce was too spicy for me. One thing is that I feel like their pork taco was too dry. I didn't know if it was pork or beef. Tasted like steak to me. I would go back to try their quesadilla and tostadas. I wish they filled the tacos. Soft shell tacos were hard on the edges. But still a cheap and fast place to grab a quick bite. read more

I'm a fan! Went to their tiny (8 seater) hole in the wall restaurant at 438 E 9th St. between 1st and A and was mightily impressed by the cochinillo (suckling pig) taco. The beef taco was good too. Good amount of filling, a good 50% more than the typical hipster place. The home-made corn tortillas were light and flavorful; dare say some of the best I've had. I ordered the goat soup, thinking it was $3.99 rather than the $8.99 I paid. While I might have expected a bit more goat and vegetables at that price, I was glad I tried it: the goat itself was very tender and the red broth had an unusual, slightly sour, flavor that, once past the first few sips, was appetizing. Felt authentic. They offered me some tasty rice and beans too; guess that came with the soup? -------- Ok, I've since eaten here another four or so times, and had some dishes more than once, so I thought I'd update my review. The menu's changed since my first visit: no more goat soup. The cochinillo taco has never been quite as rich as the first time, but I do still like it. I've had the shrimp taco twice, first time mouth watering, second time plenty good. As for the yellow rice and black beans, the rice has moved on a spectrum from delicious warm and tender to not quite warm and a tad dry; the beans were generally creamy and rich, once a bit less so. The guacamole was very mild, no kick whatsoever. The flavors of the al pastor--pork with pineapple--didn't quite meld. I've tried the chicken with mole poblano: a thigh in lots of rich gravy which had a slightly sour, slightly medicinal, taste, that didn't appeal to me. The corn tortillas have ranged from fragrant to decent: still worth the extra $1 in any case. The guy in charge is friendly and was very concerned when mentioned the dry rice: he spoke to the guys in the kitchen. To summarize, when I want a more sophisticated balance of flavors I go to Barrio Chino, but when I want to eat locally, this is my spot. Hmmm, just writing about this place is bringing up an appetite... read more
