“I run The Bayonne Chess Society & Club. We have events all over Bayonne, different venues. I approached the owner, Ed, and he immediately said, "Yes" He's a chess lover, and had been waiting forever for chess to come to Bayonne. We have almost 300 adult members, no idea how many children. We also have a Boardgame Division. We did this in THREE MONTHS.We have two locations on members meet at on Fridays nights. Chubby's for a more mature atmosphere. People can go grab a beer, eat, and chill, while playing chess. If there are children, members meet at Joe's Pizza...4 blocks away. So, far I've had the cheesesteak sandwich and spicy fries. It was delicious. We meet at BOTH locations at 7 pm. No experience necessary. We have all levels of players young and old.We also meet at Cafe 26 on Saturday afternoons. We have a boardgame Event night on Thursday nights, at Bayown's Vendor Mart from 6 pm to 10 pm. Members bring whatever game they're looking to play. The venue has a few of their own. It's crazy fun. We've also had events at Houlihans. We have other venues in the pipeline, as we continue to grow, as we're now getting members from other towns, like Hoboken, Jersey City, Hoboken, Oldbridge, and Paramus.FINALLY, we have Free group chess lessons on Sundays at Chubby's. We're there from 2 pm until 5 pm. It's RSVP only, as space is limited. As we get more students we may go to another day for chess.But, all in all, Chubby's is a chill place to go, eat, chill, socialize, and PLAY CHESS !! They also have a video game night !!! How did I not know this ???For those interested in getting involved in a group that's growing like crazy, were on Facebook. Look us up. The Bayonne Chess Society & Club.Remember, the chess is free. The venue isn't. Please patronize whatever venue hosts us.“
“Working down in bayonne and needing a quick but flavorful real tasting meal for lunch Bubbkoos comes right into play exceptionally well . From the Crema get the Money to the Boom Shaka laka they are all packed with flavor , intensity and satisfaction. Come about 3 times a week and today the big boss made my Burrito with some extra care and hand tossed chicken and Mango Habanero ... Knocked it out the park ...Make sure you get the burrito cut in half tho because its jammed packed and explosive with the bite when its whole ...“
“Extremely fast service even if the line is long. Some of the best tacos I've ever had, my favorite was the adobada. Must visit if you're in the area.Vegetarian options: I think the cactus taco is vegetarian, but it's probably cooked on the same grill as the meats.“
“Los Tacos 1 is a must-visit spot for anyone craving delicious Mexican food in a bustling atmosphere. The pace is fast, but the food is the best ever! Their salsa is incredible—so tasty and spicy. Plus, the vibe in Chelsea Market adds to the whole experience. If you're in the mood for some mouthwatering tacos and a lively atmosphere, Los Tacos is the place to be!“
“I want to thank the managers Luis P and Rodrigo ABecause of the recipes they shared with me so I could open my taqueria in downtown Manhattan, those sauces are a delight and I will finally be able to make them the same, not to mention the exquisite flavors.“
“THEYRE THE BOMB ?Los Tacos No.1 is an absolute gem in the bustling streets of New York City.Despite the crowds of tourists, locals, and imitators, this taqueria stands out as the best of the best.From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with the enticing aroma of sizzling meats and freshly pressed tortillas. And let me tell you, the taste lives up to the hype.Today, we indulged in the adobada quesadilla on a warm flour tortilla and the classic adobada taco "con todo" on corn tortillas. Each bite was a burst of flavor and freshness that transported us straight to the streets of Mexico.While the prices may be a bit higher than what I'm used to paying, the quality, freshness, and flavor more than justify the cost. In fact, I'd argue that it's worth every penny.Having lived in New York City for over 30 years, I can confidently say that Los Tacos No.1 ranks among the top 10 taco spots in the city. It's a testament to their commitment to excellence and dedication to serving up authentic and delicious Mexican street food.Whether you're a tourist or a local, Los Tacos No.1 is a must-visit destination for taco lovers in NYC. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.“
“Jonnie was our server and amazing! I got 2 tacos and an empanada. The flavors are all outstanding and the seafood is very fresh. They also have homemade salsas which are unique and pack a punch. Definitely a place to come to whether or not you’re “
“Los Tacos No. 1 is my favorite taco spot. When I found out about this seafood version of their restaurant, I knew I had to try it.Especial Ceviche - Love the crunchy tortilla bottom and creamy avocado slices on top. Very refreshing.Fish Taco - The fish was so fresh and fried perfectly. Absolutely delicious.Spicy Shrimp Taco - Not too spicy. So flavorful and tasty.It's awesome that Los. Tacos No. 1 is right next door, too. Next time, I'll grab a chicken taco before heading over for another shrimp and fish taco.“
“This place is a fantastic cocktail bar! ? Donna serves a wonderful selection of cocktails ?, wine ? , and alcoholic drinks.? Definitely try the Hall Pass cocktail! The staff ?? is super friendly and the service is quick. ⏲️ The ambience ? is great and the place is nicely decorated. ?️ I wish I came here sooner!“
“Ate a late brunch here and we really enjoyed it. Such a diverse menu, the food was so flavorful and the ingredients seemed quality. I got the Za'atar roasted cauliflower and loved it -- it was perfectly cooked. We also got chimichurri skewers as an appetizer which were also great! I was surprised how quiet it was, although it is probably more popular in the evening. This place deserves more traffic!“
“My friends and I ordered a burrito, enchiladas, torta, and guac. Everyone was very satisfied. The food is delicious, portions are sizeable, and price is reasonable. The vibe of the place is quiet nice and cozy. The service was great, everyone was very hospitable; I split my water all across the floor and the server was very understanding and kind. I really liked the salsa and salsa verde. Oh and the cherry on top was a dose of nostalgia with the chicklets we got at the end, hadn't seen those in their little cardboard box in years!“
“I'll keep this short and to the point: this is the best burrito I've had in the city hands down, and it's not close. Everything fresh and phenomenally seasoned, the lengua is succulent, the al pastor just the right spicy-sweet mix, I can't wait to try a few more meats. The staff is super friendly and the food comes out quick. As far as ambiance, getting in and out of there in record time is all you really want from a food truck. The best.“
“We got the pork and shrimp spring rolls, chicken dumplings and the chicken tacos. All items were really tasty. Very quick service. And reasonable prices. Would recommend coming here again if you’re shopping in SoHo and want to eat a nice meal after all the walking. It was easy to get a table on a Friday night too! The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was not bad. Want to come here again and try the banh mi sandwiches next!“
“Ive been here a couple of times and as a LA native, this place definitely makes tacos that remind me of home. There is only outdoor seating so I would keep that in mind if you plan on visiting during colder weather. But The tacos were delicious and I got way more queso and chips than I was expecting. They were sold out the last time I stopped by so that should give you a good idea of the quality of the food.“
“Best tacos in New York CityWhen I come to New York, all I think about is Rostaco.It's really delicious here tooTacos and Consome are steamedIf you see it while passing by, be sure to try it!!!This is a really good restaurant that locals know!!!“
“simple and fresh! not the most flavorful tacos i’ve ever had, but on the flip side i really appreciated the lower salt content and lack of grease. this is a great homestyle option you could eat regularly and still enjoy every time as much as the last.my one critique is that the beef definitely needed the lime and sauce to make up for being on the drier side.i’ll be coming back!“
“Amazing and authentic taco spot!! The staff was super friendly, the service was relatively quick, and the food was so good. Honestly one of the best Mexican spots in the east village! I got this Al pastor burrito, which was great, and my buddy got the tacos. He said they were the best he's had in a while. Don't hesitate to try this spot it's phenomenal!“
“Recent dinner at Tacombi definitely hit the spot. The tacos are packed with well seasoned meat, the crispy fish was nicely dressed with slaw and sauce, the salsa are delicious and pack a nice little punch. The tostada was crispy with a flavorful avocado topping and the quesadilla just barely visible under the mountain of Al pastor. My michelada was nice but I'd give the agave wine margs a pass if you're a marg purist. Juan Carlos took great care of us. On hand just when we needed with what we needed, friendly, and left us plenty of time to chow and digest before sending us on our merry way. We really enjoyed the little cabana - it's nice when the COVID inspired street cabana matches the good vibes indoors so even the dog can enjoy the night out.“
“Sloppy and yummy Mexican tacos. So so so good! The taste was great, so flavourful. The soup next to it was perfect. I would highly recommend this place. Price was a little steep for my understanding but maybe that’s just the area. Friendly staff, cute atmosphere and great taste. What a dinner! Be prepared to get your hands dirty!“
“When I find a gem, I share it! Yes, yes, yes! Hallelujah to good food! We were trying to find some tacos to eat before going home and I came across a little taco truck that I had to try! They have the pastor tacos in the traditional rotating-roster, and they were delish! I also had an elote ? with everything, and a tiny bit of the powder-picante was enough for me to get a kick of spice in my mouth that turned on all the right taste buds! The lady who took care of us was polite, fast, and so kind! I will definitely be back to try the other tacos they have!!“
“Run don't walk to get the egg biscuit sandwich! Literally one of the best breakfast sandwiches I ever had. Don't sleep on their coffee either. VERY reasonably priced as well, friendly staff and just a great place to work on your laptop. A gem of a place in Sunset Pk.“
“I was so happy when this place moved into the area, because there are very few good options for Mexican food, or at least there were. This place is really amazing there meat is fresh, their vegetables are fresh and their tacos are really great. The staff is super nice. The taco al Pastor here might be among the best in the city only because the pineapple is cooked on the grill and it’s really nice. That charred caramelized pineapple as a real beautiful flavor. Reasonable prices too.“
“absolutely amazing!!! great local spot to visit in bay ridge. such a warm and welcoming environment, although the space was small the vibes were not haha. the staff was very welcoming and friendly and stopped by often to refill water or ask if we were in need of anything :) highly recommend because the food was AMAZING!!!“
“I had a lovely and memorable dining experience. I ordered the Spring rolls (which were delightful by the way): fried goodness served with lettuce wraps and julienne veggies. Super fresh and No guilt! My server, Alex, was what made the night! Although the spring rolls are served with fish sauce (delish!) Alex told me about the restaurant’s homemade soy sauce and offered to bring me a sample. What an amazing flavor profile: I happily alternated each bite between the two sauces. Sweet than savory—repeat. Also fun is the speakeasy style restroom and the sign above the toilet gave me a chuckle: “seat yourself.” Thanks for making my Friday night, Alex and 5Spice!“
“This has become my favorite spot on St. Marks Street. I often come here for tacos and tostadas when I’m in the area. The tostadas have crunchy shells with moist and tasty beef. Everything I’ve had here is full of flavor and delicious. Always fresh - the taste and texture is just right.“
“This is without a doubt the best banh mi in town. The bread is utter perfection, the ingredients always fresh, and just the right level of spice. The staff are very friendly and the owner is actively involved. I had a problem with my order, which he personally resolved. I was very impressed why his commitment to customer satisfaction. I will be a customer for life. Keep up the great work!“
“I was feeling down and needed a happy moment or two. Found both with good food and great drinks at Street Taco. I was in the neighborhood and saw the sign out front for happy hour. Mood lighting accentuated with bright colors, and not too crowded. Just my vibe. There's a bright orange VW van in the back that serves as the kitchen counter, and the best part- Bad Bunny is in the drivers seat! There are big murals, brick and wood decor. Stepped up to the bar and it felt cozy. I ordered a Passion fruit jalapeño margarita $9 and mini nachos $6 (which were not so mini) off the HH menu. Loved the margarita. Sweet but not overly, with a spicy kick. As for the nachos, they were big enough for two me's, because I had leftovers. Needed to try one more thing, so I ordered a mini Brussels Sprouts Taco $3 and a Tecate $5 from Arturo. He was a lovely bartender. Friendly and attentive. Especially when he included me in a smooth tequila shot. That was nice. Parker from the restaurant was sitting at the bar next to me and made my glum, lonely night into a much better one. Chelsea and Andi rounded out the bar scene. With a disco ball, Street Taco Bingo, Taco Tuesday specials and a DJ on the weekends, Id have to imagine it gets rowdy here. For a Sunday night, it was quiet and perfect. I'm looking forward to coming back!“
“Saw this place in social media and I knew I had to try it, so I did and it did not let me down. The concept is a blend between mexico and India but the food if absolutely fantastic and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended to try! They have two locations, one in Hells Kitchen and another in Greenwich Village.“
“The churros are good, and I really like the mushroom tacos. And when I got mushrooms in my burrito bowl. The chicken taco was a bit spicy for me. I wish I can ask for no spicy things when I get delivery, but there isn't the option to request adjustments or changes via door dash.“
“The chicken tikka masala and the naan feels authentic and is just a comforting but binge worthy meal to have. Their tandoori chicken wings are quite good as well. The naan tacos are better than the roti tacos cuz the rotis just disintegrate when you add all the toppings. Love all their chutneys as well!“
“Great spot in Red Hook! Came in on a Saturday afternoon and was not too busy at all. TLDR: Staff was attentive, food was solid! Food: came in with a group and we got the shrimp tacos, Carne asada taco, guac, cheese quesadilla, and butternut squash quesadilla. Everything was good but I definitely preferred the quesadillas!Service: wasn't too busy when we visited and the staff were very nice and attentive. They had run out of tortillas for burritos and a couple taco meats but our waiter was helpful with suggesting alternativesGood for: casual spot to catch up with friends Inside tips: nothing really, just highly encourage you get the butternut squash quesadilla (:“
“Came here for the first time today and I’m kinda a picky eater I ordered chicken and biria boa buns, biria ramen, beef taco Al pastor, and the biria pizza. Everything was delicious and the spotlight orders being the pizza and ramen. Interior decor is gorgeous service was great, I will be back.Also loved that it’s a halal spot and they have cute mocktails !!“
“cute restaurant, bangin tacos and tostadas. wish we had this back home ?Vegetarian options: took the veggie tacos with black beans to go, had some extra guac, the sauces are spicy but delicious (to my painfully white palate)i actually had to wait like half an hour after getting the food to eat it bc planning reasons that are on me and the food still was delicious.“
“Top notch! I was skeptical of the high ratings since many of the places we've been to in Manhattan have been higher rated than I would give them but ZAZA'S has earned it. The turkey bacon was the best I've ever had and the French toast was divine. My husband also said it was 4.5 stars for him, the highest rating he voiced for any place we visited this trip.“

“I've been here twice and both times the staff were super nice. The logo is super cute as is the design. The food was great;On the first visit, I got a bunch of different items because I hadn't seen any of them before. I got a mixta, an order of pupusas, a shuko, and a rellenitas. They were all delicious. I had never had a pupusa before so the staff were super nice and taught me how to dress it up properly.On my second visit, I had the tacos, fresh lemonade, and a terminator shuko. The terminator shuko was massive. You ever watch Parks and Rec and Andy recommends the Meat Tornado to Ron? The Terminator shuko is how I'd imagine the meat tornado looks. I could not finish it. The lemonade was not too sweet and perfect for a hot day. It had these little chia seed things in it.I will definitely be visiting again.“
“Chef Juan is a magician in the kitchen, producing great tasting creations. Leeland spoiled us with an ultimate sampler table spread. Bite after bite my taste buds went crazy over the food. Everything we had was delicious. Try the pineapple salsa you'll love it. If you are ever near the lower Manhattan area, stop by. Thanks again Leeland and his crew for a memorable night.“
“The tacos were delicious. Just pick one. You won’t be disappointed. It’s more of a take out place. A few tables inside and out. The people working there seemed like they all had a gun to their head. No napkins in the dispenser and there was no hurry to fill it although a steady stream of customers were in and out. It happens I guess. Take out is the way here.“
“The best burritos ? on the island. Everything is made with love, i mean LOVE. This is an amazing restaurant on wheels from fresh fruit juices to great home cooked fast foods. Next time I'll take a picture before stuffing my face lol. I can't wait for her to expand the business ?“
“I was looking for a restaurant that serves Mexican food ? due to the face the only other one I been too is like 40 minutes away so we decided to find one closer to home before going to work n honestly I was amazed how nice we were treated and the food was delicious I mean I still full and the serves and cook ask if we would like veggies in are food due to the fact we don't eat meat and the price was cheap so thank you for serving us a delicious meal I will be coming back againVegetarian options: They can make anything Vegan-friendly if you don't eat meat.“
“I’ve been coming here for years (even back when it was in Hoboken). Best Mexican food you will find anywhere in the area. Each item is more delicious than the next. The flavors are incredible, the ingredients are fresh and top shelf. Every time I eat here, I fall in love with the food. DELECTABLE!“
“The torta was excellent, the space clean and tidy, and the service was great. The cashier and the staff in the kitchen made sure to explain the sauce spice levels. It seems like a small family run business and the pride they showed in their storefront and food was mirrored in the flavor of the food.“
“Their catering service is amazing! I wish I took pictures but everyone at the event ate every birria taco before I can take a picture. Ordering was great and the guy who picked up the phone was extremely sweet. They give you the salsa red and green. It was just amazing and great flavor. They work with you and make sure you get what you need. The consome was so tasty. Thank you guys for the amazing service !! ❤️❤️❤️❤️“
“My husband and I lived in Harrison in 2019-early 2020 and this was our local taco spot. We were obsessed. We moved due to the pandemic and to this day we haven’t found better tacos than these. We compare every taco we ever have to these, hoping to find some that will compete and they never come close.“
“Unfortunately I am attempting to finish this review in 2024, long after visiting this establishment so I do not recall my visit here besides giving it 5/5 stars. So in my very trusted book of ratings, I absolutely enjoyed this spot and the food was amazing. So I'll be back and do a better job reviewing next time.“
“Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian tacos and they were so fresh omg. Delicious. I also got guacamole and chips and it was made on the spot, hot chips and all. 10 out of 10Kid-friendliness: So polite and calm. They were helpful with making choices, prices were great . These people need to be noticed. It was an amazing experience.“
“I believe Tacombi is doing great in the way they hire their staff.My first experience with Tacombi was at their location at 79th street and Amsterdam Ave. Their manager was a Latino man, who I observed going out of his way a few times to help on the floor and to greet customers even delivery workers. Unfortunately I do not remember his name but he must still be there since he does an amazing job.At this establishment, I ate both a chicken and steak quesadilla. The chicken and steak were flavorful and it is something that I would definitely order again.I also visited Tacombi on 70th street between Third and Second Ave. This time, I only went for a beer but I observed their hostess working the floor while taking care of the delivery workers. Every interaction was completed with effectiveness and a smile.Kudos to Tacombi and their belief in customer service.“
“Oh my god Reyes is an absolute gem. I got the Al pastor burrito toro bravo (rice beans pico jalapeño cheese) and it’s one of the best burritos I’ve had in NYC.Also their chips are so fresh and salsa (which they sell separately if you want a little jar) is so good—flavorful and smokey and fresh.Can’t wait to come back.“
“Authentic Mexican taqueria; excellently marinated meats; quick service. Protein cuts are standard variations of chicken, pork (al pastor with the pineapple was chef's kiss), beef, with some vegetarian and pescatarian (shrimp, fish) options as well.“
“My son goes to Woodrow Wilson near this restaurant, and every time that I visit him, or pick him up. We go here. I highly recommend this restaurant, because the food is amazing, and the family that works at this place are very kind, and have great service.“
