Amazing tacos, margaritas and staff! I don't understand why this place has less than five stars so I will do my part to boost the rating because it is a hidden gem! I try different tacos every time ai come and all of them have been amazing...I never would have thought scallop tacos would work but they do! The staff, different people at different times have all been friendly, patient and polite. They give family vibes! This place is great and the beat part is the drinks taste great and are reasonably priced as well as the food! read more

TAQ is a great taqueria and bar with a fun, laid back vibe. My friends and I sat at the bar and started with margaritas and nachos before ordering a variety of tacos, all of which were delicious. The tacos here alone are worth the visit. Loved the chill atmosphere here and would definitely come back. read more

It's so hard to find good (vegetarian!) mix and match tacos...luckily Taq delivers! This place truly is a hidden gem and has great options for everyone, along with reasonable pricing. Their classic margarita is delicious (they have a lot of different flavors as well). To begin, the Esquites are a must (love how they make them here, it's more like a corn dip!) and the Nachos are also solid (although I wish they used a queso rather than just melted cheese). There are so many vegetarian options for tacos - my favorites were the Buffalo Cauliflower and the Falafel. The Eggplant was also solid, but could have used a bit more sauce. Service is quick, and the vibes are casual. I can't wait to come back again! read more

Tacos were delicious and flavorful, they offer a variety of different flavor tacos which I enjoyed as someone who likes to try a bit of everything. The chips and guacamole were good as a starter. Staff were friendly and attentive. Would definitely be making this place my go to taco spot. read more

TAQ - Griego Barbacoa Chipotle - Tacos Near Me - New York, New York

Cute spot located downtown. I met my friend after work for dinner and it was really nice. The outside patio was busy, but we dined indoors and it was very relaxed/ casual. Our server was super friendly and attentive. We ordered chips to share and a few tacos, all of which came out pretty quickly. The menu has both meat and vegetarian options, too. Overall, everything tasted great. I do think they make their own tortillas because the tacos were stuffed but didn't fall apart. Definitely worth a return visit. They also have a Happy Hour on drinks and tacos. read more

Popped in to grab a quick bite with my one and only and our little mini. The space is cool and open. Modern vibes of a bar and tacos for sure. Not as busy as it should have been. He service was great quick and easy. Tacos were really really good. read more

I used to come here quite often when they had the lunch promotion where you get 3 tacos and they take 5 dollars off. That deal made it a great spot for lunch and honestly I probably ended up drinking more beers than eating tacos. They no longer have that promotion and now it starts later in the afternoon at 3 which makes it less appealing as a lunch place. I came this time with a group of 7 and while there was enough room for everyone, the overall experience just didn't feel the same as before. The food was fine but not as flavorful as I remembered. Without the old promotion it loses some of the charm that used to make it a go-to spot for me. Still a good place but I would probably take more time before coming back again. read more

I Tried Toa Tacos in Tribeca and wow I'm officially hooked. The nachos were stacked and loaded just right perfectly crisp chips, melty cheese, fresh pico, and all the toppings without getting soggy. But the real star was the shrimp tacos. Juicy, seasoned shrimp with just the right amount of spice, topped with a creamy sauce that pulls it all together. Fresh, flavorful, and definitely worth the hype. I sat at the bar and the service was great!! The food came out fast and the drinks were Amazing. The watermelon mint margaritas are refreshing and soooo delicious The Ambiance was very nice! Chill vibes all the way through from the neon signs and the back seating. I will definitely be back!!! Catch me here on the next Taco Tuesday!! read more

Ordered takeout via DoorDash and had a good quick lunch. The order was prepared promptly and was well packed. Had the Camaron, Sesamo and Frito tacos. Each was creative - although the taco shell didn't travel very well (a little soggy), the fillings were great. Need to try eating at the restaurant next time. read more

Great food and amazing service! Stopped by here on a Thursday night without a reservation and got seated immediately. The waitress was extremely friendly and helped us decide what to order. The standout for me was the barriga taco. This also seemed like a great place to grab a drink- will be back to try the margs! read more

Ok ok. I was in the neighborhood and hungry?l! I popped in a sat at the bar. The place was fairly empty but people were sitting outside. I started with the chips and pico. The chips were very hard but tasted somewhat fresh. The pico was fresh but needed more spices. The tacos were hit and miss. The pastor was very good but was not hot. The grilled mahi was ok but somewhat tasteless. The lemonade had a chemical taste. The staff was attentive but also busy socializing. I wanted to like this place but with Los tacos down the block it's an easy choice. The inside it's cute and clean. The bar seats are comfortable. Likely would not go back. read more

Fabulous tacos. Fabulous margaritas. Fresh ingredients. Lovely service. A bit too noisy at times. The bar can get really loud and the acoustics there amplify the sound. There is no kids menu but kids are good with 1-2 tacos. The tacos are regular sized and not small street tacos. Some tacos are slightly dry and could use some sauces on the side or drizzled on top. The watermelon citrus margarita was amazing and one of my favorites. Will be going back all summer! read more

Tried this neighborhood spot for the first time this weekend. We came in around lunchtime on the weekend and was surprised to see it was just us and one other party. Service was pretty quick and there's a couple different unique taco offerings. What we tried was good but nothing blew us away (also at $7 per each taco it is a bit pricey). Best ones would be the chipotle and barriga tacos! read more

First time here. Staff is great. Drinks are great. Very cool vibe. Unfortunately, the tacos look a lot better than they taste. Disclaimer: Several of us are not fans of corn tortillas - they have that taste like you're eating wet cement, so there's that. Not sure why most places don't offer a flour option that doesn't interfere/alter the taste of the food. The guacamole was decent. A bit too acidic for me, and I much prefer chunks of avocado, like Dos Caminos. This was a bit too creamy. The corn is great however. That is probably the best dish on the menu. That being said, the overall issue we had with the tacos we tried, and we nearly tried them all, is they're dry. Only two exceptions - the frito which has dill sauce, and the pastor. The rest of the tacos had very little flavor combinations and were overall lacking sauce/moisture. Again, we're probably in the minority as most seem to love this place, but we're big time sauce/topping people and we felt the tacos look much better than they taste. read more

Great service! Came here for a directors lunch and they made the food and drinks pretty fast, the tacos were pretty good and unique, ambiance was calm & welcoming. Thankfully wasn't packed and we had our own space & seating in the back. Drinks were great too! read more

This spot just opened in Tribeca as an outpost of a place from Ann Arbor MI. The staff is super nice and accomodating, and it's pretty good for people with dietary restrictions because you can remove most ingredients. Tacos are sold individually and run about $7 per taco. That sounds steep until you realize how gigantic these tacos are. I got the frito (fried chicken) and eggplant tacos and both were good! They also serve alcohol. It's a sit down spot. read more

Good portions and the drinks, margaritas I had, were pretty good. The tortilla chips are made in-house, the way they taste feels authentic. Good spot for happy hour. read more

Really great tacos with creative combinations here. Very fresh ingredients. The fried chicken and waffles with maple syrup taco (comes with bits of bacon) is better than the actual real thing. The Scallops Taco is amazing! I also love that the pork taco that comes with pineapple comes with real pineapple that's grilled and not from a can. The chocolate dessert taco was also delicious. My server was amazing & explained everything to me. During brunch on weekends, And maybe also during certain happy hours, It's $5 off when you get three tacos. Most tacos are about $7 dollars each. Ambience is friendly. It was just a little chilly on a cold day. read more

Awful experience. Some staff were unhelpful, some were arrogant And some were both. service was slow. atmosphere was non existent. I would not recommend it. read more

The food was very dry, tasteless, soggy and old. Maybe because I came at the end of the night, but it seemed rushed and was freezing cold by the time I arrived at my destination 8 minutes later. When I called to express my dissatisfaction of course the gentleman who answered the phone literally talked my ear off about how this couldn't possibly be the case (because obviously we sat together in my home to share this said meal). So much to the point that I had to let him go because I could tell I was getting no where. Why dine at a place that feels there's never any room for improvement or atleast listen to the customer so the next person wont have the same experience. But hey, when you average about 6-8 customers a night, you have it all figured out huh?? Please dont eat here where the customer is always WRONG!! There are many more places that use fresh ingredients and the food has flavor. Please go enjoy those places. You'll be much better off. But PRO tip: if you do eat here bring a gallon of water, your throat and jaw will thank you once your done chewing your way through food that tastes like wet cardboard sprinkled with lead paint covered in day old queso!!!! You're welcome in advance read more

Has Korean tacos which were very good. And the street corn/cheese starter with chips which was also very good. Corn definitely big enough for twoz with unlimited chips if needed. Good prices for Manhattan . And quick service. Went on a Monday at 7p after work and it was pretty empty. It would be pretty loud if crowded, so not a quiet date place. Definitely will go back again read more

Great for a casual lunch or meetup with friends. They have a few tables outside when it's nice. Good selection of cocktails, the mango margarita was great. Large selection of tacos. I like that you can mix and match. The staff was super friendly and helpful! read more

Definitely get the elote! Drinks and food were also great. Service was wonderful as well.

this place was cute on the inside. very modern and sleek. very friendly staff. clean bathrooms. but my food. -_- i had the panko crusted chicken taco. the chicken itself was good and they have it in huge cutlets in the shell. with radishes, cilantro, and a sauce. i took a bite and it was good the chicken but the shell was dripping oil! dripping greasy all over the shell. i have never seen so much grease in my life on a taco shell. i just ate the chicken with a fork, which wasn't dripping. i dunno what they do to the shells but i didn't wanna eat that. i wouldn't come back. read more

Everything fine. They do good promotion in happy hour. I tried three tacos. Yeah. Taste problem. Not enough tasty to come again. Its like mixing whatever based on one main meat. Hope owner improve some dishes there. Chipotle taco was fine but still it was too wet. So everything fell apart when I grabbed. read more

nd a IG DM over the course of two weeks for anyone to initially get back to me. Only to tell me that they would respond the following week as they were in the middle of restaurant week (instead of just using that energy to send the invoice as I stated I was ready to pay for the catering order in full at the time of ordering (over $1,000 order by the way)). Two weeks passed and I reached out once more. Didn't hear back from them until an additional week had passed. At that time I had given up on this place and booked with another vendor who is MUCH MORE PROFESSIONAL IN ALL ASPECTS! And so I told the general manager at TAQ that we decided to book elsewhere due to their lack of response and the unprofessional email is the response their manager gave. This company does not know that I'm well known, and not only did they missed out on a returning customer, but referrals and not to mention that a $1000+ order. I will NEVER recommend anyone come here nor will I again. I own a small business and answer EVERY email in a timely manner no matter how busy we get. They should be ashamed! read more

TAQ - a message from a restaurant on the iphone - Tacos Near Me - New York, New York

Came here and had the best time with my friends and the food was genuinely good! Bubbys around the corner had a long wait so came here last minute and Adam was the server who took care of us! He gave us honest recommendations and everything turned out really authentic, flavorful and tasty! Definitely coming here again for a more fine atmosphere but affordable and nicely presentable food! read more

I was here tonight, on a Friday night from 6-8pm. The place was empty, which should have been my first sign. Every single staff member that we encountered was rude, arrogant or condescending. From the host, to the waiter (a blonde new hire), to the manager. The food sadly was woefully inauthentic, bland, and boring. When paying the bill we asked the waitress to put $30 more on one card to which she responded with an arrogant attitude, "I can't do that. Our system doesn't allow that. We don't do that here." (So which one is it?) She clearly didn't want to be bothered. I told her that was highly unlikely, but asked what can be done. She begrudgingly said "Well, I can itemize it". As we began to tell her what we wanted on each bill she grew further annoyed. I stopped and instead asked her for a pen so we can mark the items for each card to make it easier (since itemizing was her idea!) She then with an increasing attitude said "I dont know. I don't have a pen. People don't usually ask for this." As if it was beneath her to have to split a bill with one person paying more than the other. I had to insist that she get a pen as she just stood there resistantly. She proceeded with a huff and a puff to the bar as I watched her theatrically act out her version of what transpired at our table to the other staff! The level of arrogance and lack of professionalism throughout this venue is an embarrassment. I would never go back. Don't waste your time here. If in the neighborhood instead go to the restaurant next door "Warren Place", which had every table filled and when I passed by the staff was nothing but kind and welcoming. If wanting Mexican there are plenty of other options worth the money. read more

Great addition to the neighborhood. Friendly staff. Solid nachos and guac. Our kids also enjoyed it. read more

Adam was incredible! Helped us narrow down our food and beverage choices. Vibe is so cool! Food is OUT Of THIS WORLD! Tortillas are made from scratch! You will NEVER have a more authentic taco! TONS of vegetarian taco options! read more

Reasonably priced food and drinks - I only got the half portion of nachos and it was still substantial. Friendly staff and chill atmosphere, I was comfortable reading my book with a beer at the bar while I waited for my partner to arrive. read more

We sat for awhile before being acknowledged but that was not the worst part. Although we ordered drinks before ordering food, our drinks arrived as we were finishing up our meal. I like to drink my margarita with my tacos as I think most people do. Although we received a quick "I'm sorry" from our server, nothing further was done to try to make the situation better such as a visit and apology from the manager or a comped item. It was a really awful experience and we will not be back. read more

So delicious! Got the Griego chicken tacos, which were yummy and filling! But the highlight of the meal was the corn dip- MUST TRY!

Finally got to this restaurant, having heard good things. What a cool spot! It's got a nice vibe, super service and a wide selection of innovative food and drinks at a reasonable price. Can't wait to go back. read more

We were immediately greeted by knowledgeable and attentive waitstaff. The atmosphere is both meticulous and inviting - accented by chic decor and cozy candle light. The Berenjena eggplant taco was delicious and will definitely become a staple for my visits at Taq. I will forever dream of the chips + elote from this menu!!! Must try if you're looking for an elevated taco experience with deliciously strong margaritas. read more

TAQ - Blueberry Margarita, Pineapple Margarita, and NA Smoky Paloma - Tacos Near Me - New York, New York

I am worried this place may not survive. I want it to live! - The drinks are very good (genuinely quality tequilas, interesting cocktails, reasonable prices.) - Some of the appetizers are excellent, especially the nachos and the elote (they make their own chips and they are good) - Some (not all) of the 'weird' tacos are tasty, if probably a tad spicy for most people. The problems are that the place is very cold feeling, especially when it's empty as it usually is, and the main dish, the fusion cuisine tacos are mostly meh. Worse, they are almost impossible to practically eat without getting the food everywhere, because the corn tortillas (which make excellent chips when refried, see above) collapse immediately when you add the wet fillings. And there's no plates or cutlery, just these stupid taco holders on trays with lining paper. So the tacos fall apart, and you can't even eat the filling because it's stuck in these stupid metal racks and/or the pulpy paper. I wonder if anyone behind the restaurant has really tried to eat the food. I sort of doubt it. read more

The staff was very knowledgeable and attentive. They were in great moods leaving us feeling good. The atmosphere was classy. Great mexican food. Numerous vegetarian options which is lacking at other neighborhood locations. I enjoyed the eggplant tacos and mushroom tacos. They are pretty large and stuffed. Other reviews are too harsh and unfounded (tacos are served nicely in plates and they are pretty filling and worth the price). It's a must try. read more

Been to this place twice, and it's a great addition to a neighborhood that doesn't have a lot of good affordable restaurant options. The tacos are great: innovative and tasty, the space is quite nice, the service is friendly, andthe prices are a terrific for what you get. You can get a good meal for a party of 3 or 4 for under $50. Highly recommended. read more

We had a great meal here! Food was fresh, drinks were cheap, service was great, and the ambiance was quaint and cool. Great addition to the neighborhood, will definitely be back! read more
