50 Best Taco Restaurants near Carlstadt

“Popped in to this delightful restaurant on our first night of a weeks stay in Biarritz. Welcomed by the brothers and sat at a circular table (for 8). This place did not disappoint. Food was divine (especially squid starter, monkfish mains)., good choice of wine, attentive service - just what we wanted. There’s a good chance we will return. Hadn’t realised there was sports screens showing golf and rugby (a plus for most), but with sound turned off this did not annoy the non sports lovers).“

“Los Tacos No. 1 is a fantastic spot for street-style tacos. Despite peak hour lines, their speedy service ensures you won't wait long. I recommend getting the al pastor tacos. Don't miss their delicious breakfast burritos, especially the chorizo option, which they serve at this location in the morning.For seafood lovers, Los Mariscos at Chelsea Market offers a delightful selection paired perfectly with a cold beer or margarita.“

“Los Tacos No.1 is an iconic spot in New York City. The tacos are really fantastic and fresh (though the pork may be a bit too salty for me). This counter order spot at the Chelsea Market gets very busy and popular during peak lunch times. There is not seating at the counter inside, but there are a number of tables outside (and if you walk west there are more, covered tables along the next street. The price is fine and the food is great - very much recommend if you are visiting the Market.“

“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.“

“Welcome to Birria island. Delicious well seasoned marinated beef Birria. I had the grilled cheese and dumpling. It was E V E R Y T H I N G!! What a immaculate taste. Service was amazing. Ashley took her time while assisting me and Evenin recommended her favorite dish. She was super sweet. Overall I'm extremely satisfied that I gave this franchise a try. It was very clean, spacious and organized. Thank you to the amazing chefs and wonderful staff.“

“Some of the best tacos I have ever had. Both the chicken and the steak were amazing along with the quesadilla which was better than I even expected. The service is nice and the workers are extremely helpful. This location is less busy than others I have seen so if you want to check out Los Tacos come to this location!“

“The view is beautiful of Manhattan, the mango margarita and tacos are delicious. The staff were very friendly and attentive as well. I had an overall great time for happy hour. Tacos are small $4 each (Birría taco in pic.) and Margarita $10 -$12 each if I remember correctly because of mango flavor.“

“After being delighted by our first Los Tacos No 1 experience, we headed to Los Mariscos for our last food stop before leaving NYC. We ate it on the bus, so my memories are a bit blurry.The ceviche especial ($7.50) was delicious! I loved the crispy tostada and the savory citrusy flavors. I think there could've been a higher seafood:vegetable ratio, but the flavors and textures made up for the sparse amount of seafood.I tried the tacos a bit past their peak, but they were still pretty good. Overall I think I prefer the meats I had at Los Tacos, but it's hard to compare since I didn't have the seafood tacos fresh.I definitely want to return and dine in!“

“Honestly the food is AMAZING! AMAZING !!!!! BUT ...... The environment is not the best. It's tight, too serious, the food isn't the fastest and it is pricey. but I will say the food is worth it. I would just love the ambiance to change. Then it would be perfect. Absolutely perfect!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing restaurant ! Food is a chefs kiss! I order the. Crispy Cajun Salmon sandwich with a side of salsa when I want to be fake healthy haha! Staff was very welcoming, I will be back!Kid-friendliness: Place is located at the Hugh and plethora restaurants and options with table and chairs“

“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!!!“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“The birria tacos were yummy but they were exceptionally good after dipping in the consomé. A flavorful combo that you shouldn’t miss. FYI all the meat used are halal! This is a great quick bite spot for cheap eats before I get my pay check.＊Beef Al Pastor Birria Taco**＊Chicken Birria TacoThe taco shell was thin and slightly crispy. I was really skeptical about adding pineapples to beef tacos (I don’t like pineapple…) but the fruit actually went along well with fresh cilantro and meat.For the protein choices, the slow-cooked pulled beef was so juicy and tender. We found the chicken a bit dry, but it still tasted delicious after dipping in the soup. Both the meat and the sauces served on the side weren’t spicy.＊Consomé (small)There were plenty of shredded beef and cilantro in the consomé, so so so flavorful. I felt like a small size was good enough for dipping, as it was quite salty to drink the soup by itself.“

“Being from southern California, I had high high hopes for this birria and consome and I was not disappointed! A great deal for 3 tacos for $12. Their mulitas were absolutely heavenly and that consome was cooked to perfection I drank the entire thing after dipping my tacos and mulita. We took these to go and sat at a nearby dog park to eat it. There was on line when we went (a Friday at around lunch time) which I was pleasantly surprised by! While we were waiting, another patron eagerly exclaimed that she had been looking for this food truck and wasn't aware that they had moved locations so it's evident this spot is beloved and sought out. Will definitely be returning in the future.“

“I’m addicted! The menu is simple, the food is flavorful and well presented. Service is wonderful and great value. Casual setting with beach-y/food truck vibes vs a restaurant-proper. I suspect that this place would have a lot more foot traffic if it were in town near Bloomfield Ave or Watchung, but I’m happy to have it so nearby in Upper Montclair, and I hope they are a long-standing fixture here (have seen a few places coke and go in this spot). The food here stands out miles ahead of a couple of nearby Mexican options, albeit smaller menu.“

“We recently had the pleasure of dining here today. This restaurant brings out the food of its people with great prices. The tacos are made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and the flavors are truly authentic. We tried the fried pork, beef birria and chicken birria tacos and churros they were excellent. The tortillas are made fresh daily. The staff were friendly and attentive. Overall, we had a wonderful meal. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves authentic Mexican food.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Their service and tacos is crazy good, because they make it simple but fantastically perfect. Their whole thing is tacos only and nothing else, because they don’t need anything else to prove how good of a taqueria they are. Only authentic taqueria in the area I’ve been to that their tacos come out fresh, hot, delicious and fast all for $10 for 4. Pura calidad y nada mas“

“The food is AMAZING !!! was a last minute thing and we are so happy we went ! Taste so authentic, and family owned. Out family had an amazing time ! Fries , Barria tacos , horchata, burritos.. all recommended! We will be back to try there pupusas. “

“Damn. I should have gotten a picture but THAT’S HOW GOOD IT WAS. We got chicken tacos, an al pastor quesadilla and an asada quesadilla. Everything came with a bunch of guac, was freshly cooked, with good portions, and very (and I mean very) spicy salsa on the side. Al pastor was my fav, but that’s cause I’m a sucker for the savory/sweet. Get anything here and I’m sure it’ll be good.“

“Tried their birria tacos, tacos al pastor and the horchata and everything was perfect. Everything was fresh and delicious. Probably some of the best birria tacos I’ve ever had. The customer service was also very good. Definitely going back!!“

“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 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.

“Mandatory tip of 20% if you spend over $100 with a credit card. They don’t tell you, so a lot of my friends and colleagues were double tipping for over a year - the staff doesn’t say anything. Otherwise, best vibes of any bar, amazing food, amazing drinks, amazing music, amazing ambiance.“

“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.“

“Wowwwwwwwww I’m not kidding when I say I crave this place on a regular basis. I love this spot so much!!! I always get the Al pastor tacos but I gotta say, the garlic shrimp I had for the first time tonight was PHENOMENAL!! My boyfriend always gets the Birria tacos… oh. My. Gosh… FIRE. Food is spot on every time we come here. Dependable food. Even when we order Uber eats, the food is always fresh and warm. Look for Luis when you go there, he will take the best care of you“

“This is a quiet unassuming spot. It's great for takeout and has delicious, hearty soups. They have a pretty good, well stocked selection. Their sandwiches are amazing and the prices are reasonable. Overall very filling, healthy food and a great spot to get lunch on the go. The staff is also very friendly, helpful and efficient.“

“The flavor, the freshness, the ingredients are an explosion of exquisite flavors, the sauces are delicious, and the waters are very refreshing and low in sugar, they are exactly the same as a Mexican water, and the hot churros are delicious.Everything is fresh, you can tell that theTortilla is made fresh and when you order it fried it is a spectacle, its cronchi is very very deliciousWhat I obviously recommend are the most delicious tacos in all of Cliffsade Park and its buff surroundings.“

“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.“

“Wonderful menu. The cocktails were impressive and I recommend getting their fruity mocktail with vodka or tequila! Delicious! Will definitely try to get the sea bass next time (they were out when we were there). Feel free to enjoy a little dessert drama with the flambe key lime pie!“

“Food was delicious. So much to choose from, it was hard to decide. I don't think you could go wrong choosing. Served hot, nice presentation.Seating is limited, no table ordering but server brings your food to the table. Highly recommend!“

“We drove right past it but THANK GOD we were able to turn around and get to it the food was heavenly juicy hot and suuuuper tasty the cook we spoke with was amazingly patient as he could see we wanted the entire menu but didn’t know how to order it lol the man was a saint and got us exactly what we wanted we were in such disbelief that such amazing tacos came from such a small spot but it’s clearly a top shelf establishment and will continuously recommend this place“

“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.“

“The Food was incredible . We had the crispy fish and seared fish tacos. So goooddd. We also had guacamole and the corn esquite. 10/10 . Oh and the shrimp tacos has a crispy layer of cheddar in it! Also 10/10 . The restaurant is very spacious and has a nice big outdoor seating area for the nice weather coming up . Coming back for cinco de mayo. Matt the manager was very accommodating“

“Place is not bad. First time we went was for my wife's birthday. We were excited for Birria tacos. The consome was not bad. My wife enjoyed it. Taco shells are crispy and cheese was just the right amount. Meat was good portion. The place is very small. Its my only complaint. The waitress is good but there's only one in the place so if it's busy it's hard for her to tend to every table but she tries her best. They should add ground beef as part of their meat options. I would recommend this place if you're in a mood for some good tacos.“

“taco truck right outside vital that seems to be open late-ish (00:30 on a wednesday). pretty nice chicken burrito. satisfying size and i’d rec the hot sauce on the side. nice owners. i’m interested to try some of the other stuff they have tooTakeout: Yes“
