Just stopped into Taqueria El Buchon for a take out order for the first time. We were greeted by Ray who was very friendly and happy to talk with us while our order was being prepared. You can see a lot of love and care goes into this business. My wife and I ordered 6 different tacos and I'm happy to say they were all excellent! The carne asada was my favorite and she loved the birria. We will definitely be back soon to try more items. Easily some of the best tacos I've had anywhere in NYC.

AMAZING tacos! I was never a taco fan until recently and now I'm obsessed. Finding Taqueria El Buchon just hits the spot! The octopus is my favorite, the shrimp is my husbands and my son likes the ribeye. I will try all of these over time!

Hands down the best Mexican in Staten Island and beyond. Ordered Steak Burrito, Al Pastor taco and Mexican Street Corn (Elotes Tajin). Went there Sunday afternoon for takeout and the burrito meat was cooked well but still tender and juicy as well as the pork taco. They make it with the perfect ratio of meat to cheese to rice and beans. The beans were not mushy and were in fact fresh and felt like they were just made.

The kernels on the street corn were the size of Chiclets and were almost like a meal themselves. It seems like the freshest corn around for the size of the kernels as well. The flavor profile on both the burrito and the al pastor taco were phenomenal. If I can only add one thing, it would be that the hot sauce could be a little hotter. This is a gem of a place that really should branch out to more neighborhoods. This seems like Mexican made with love and soul.

Incredible! The margaritas were sooo delicious and made with freshly squeezed lime! Great selection of flavors too. The tacos were soo fresh and delicious since they’re served with their hand made tortillas it makes a hell of a difference in the flavor just amazing all around can’t wait to go back!

Guacamole was terrible. All you taste is lime. Burrito most likely came out of a microwave. Very disappointed, especially after reading previous reviews. I couldn’t finish the guacamole. Pretty much inedible.
