“Just the best Mexican food In NYC“

“Dos Toros has been my favorite fast casual Mexican for over a decade. The food has always been excellent. Further, nobody makes a tighter burrito. Shoutout to Jada today who made my burrito and perfectly! I didn’t lose a single grain of rice!“

“The tacos here are tasty and delightfully cheap given their location. In addition, the whole layout of the restaurant makes sure that you get your meal quickly and get on with your day. The entrance leads straight to the line for ordering, on the way to which you also pass by the place's short but comprehensive menu. After ordering, you receive a ticket to bring to the chefs in the counter right besides you, who then make your order on the spot and give it to you.
The tables here have no chairs, only room to stand. While I'm sure this is inconvenient for some, it also ensures that people don't take their time eating here and why you'll almost never need to wait for a table once you get your food. The standing-up tables might not be for everyone, but I like it.
This trifecta of fast, cheap, and tasty is what fast food is all about in my opinion, and in a time and place where it is becoming increasingly rare, it's very nice to see that places like this are still going strong“

“went to the west 43rd street location in Manhattan. huge portions and excellent food“

“this place is the best, the food, the atmosphere, the drink!!!“

“Best Latin fusion joint in South Brooklyn“

“This place was amazing! We tried the birria tacos and they were absolutely incredible, super flavorful, juicy, and so fresh. The pollo quesadillas were also really good, perfectly cooked and satisfying. Everything tasted fresh.
Definitely a spot we’d come back to again!“

“Playa Betty's has great tasting tacos and the staff and atmosphere is awesome! ❣️ frm:🇯🇵🇺🇸“

“AMAZING tacos! I happened to be wandering around when I came across this place. Was hungry so I stopped in. I got 3 chicken tacos and 1 steak. They were very nice and even directed me on what to avoid because of my shellfish allergy! Can’t wait to eat here again!“

“Great fresh halal Mexican food. At this point my baby is going to come out wearing a sombrero because of how often I eat here 😂. In all honesty, the food slaps and I always leave feeling satisfied. Preggo lady approved. 👍🏼 I always recommend the loaded nachos(birria of course), birria quesadilla and the birria tacos. Chicken burritos are also delish, I personally avoid the California burrito because I feel it’s too salty.“

“On a rainy day exploring the city, this little place didn’t disappoint! The tacos were full of flavor and a great price! The barbacoa taco was so tender! My hubs had the steak quesadilla and chicken taco- all perfectly seasoned! Everything was better with the salsa bar. Great portion sizes. Do not sleep on the hibiscus aqua Fresca- delicious! The place was clean and easy to eat at while the rain fell!“

“Carnitas Ramirez is one of the most authentic taco spot I tried on the East Coast. We went there on a Saturday night and tried six different type of meats, all flavorful and melting in the mouth, with a special mention for the crispy pork belly. Do not hesitate to try the most unusual cuts! These are among the most surprising and delightful one.“

“Hands down the best spot around here. Unfortunately I'm moving to Brooklyn. But I will be definitely come back here! Amazing tacos and burritos. Better than popular chains nearby. Authentic food is always winning! Also, the guys are great, pretty fast and positive!“

“After hunting for good Mexican food for over a year, it’s safe to say this place checks all the boxes. The staff are always friendly, the food is divine, and the portions are reasonable. There is limited seating, but it is cozy and nice if the weather is good. I will say, if you order through an app, the portions are quite a bit smaller so it’s worth going in-person. Everything is good so you can’t miss, but I especially love the beans they use in the Al Pastor burrito and the salsa verde.“

“The pork chop was succulent and had the most amazing spice combination. The barbacoa was the best I have ever had. Not a fan of the mezcal, but I gave it a try. Other more common drinks looked great with a good pour. Good vibe and open late with a super friendly staff!“

“They are the most authentic tacos I have had since my last visit to Mexico. Great flavor Great Price and Great service“

“Great find. Saw a crowd and ordered. Wow one of the juiciest, most flavorful tacos and mulita I've had. Definitely try their mulita. The owner was kind enough to make me try the soup and it was one of the most flavorful soups I've had. This is spot on. Must try.“

“TAQ has quietly become one of my go-to spots in Tribeca — a solid, no-nonsense bar that nails the balance between strong drinks, improved food, and an atmosphere that doesn’t try too hard but still hits right. It’s not just another crowded downtown joint; it’s the crew that keeps things running smooth even when the place is packed wall-to-wall.

Behind the bar, **Sam and Dom** are a straight-up dynamic duo. Sam’s got that sharp efficiency and personality behind the stick, while Dom as barback hustles like a machine, always two steps ahead. Their synergy is unreal; they read each other so clean that even on the busiest Friday crush, drinks flow without a single hiccup. It lowkey puts most other bars in this city to shame. You can tell they’ve been grinding together long enough for that telepathic rhythm — the kind that makes chaos look effortless. (Pause)

**Derek and Alyana** bring their own flavor to the floor, and it works. They’re funny, attentive without being in your face, and quick with a dry one-liner that makes you feel like a regular from jump. They don’t just serve; they entertain in that understated NYC way.

Then there’s **Cole**, the manager. I first crossed paths with him back when he was bartending and, real talk, the food wasn’t exactly setting the world on fire. But Cole’s the type who knows his product. One night I swung in just for drinks and caught a whiff of their nachos from his plate — smelled like straight paradise, perfectly seasoned and fresh. I made a comment, and he lit up, explaining how the whole menu got revamped for the better. Man was so convincing I gave it another shot. Turns out he was right, and now I’m hooked. That kind of lowkey confidence from management is rare.

I’ve gotta give it up for the **Tuesday and Friday specials** — straight gas, and my favorite days to pop by in. Whether it’s the drink deals or the plates, they deliver real value without phoning it in. Tuesday’s a perfect mid-week reset, while Friday brings that unbeatable energy. Both nights consistently slap with flavor and vibes.

Overall, TAQ isn’t some overhyped Tribeca scene spot — it’s a place where the team’s chemistry and hustle actually show up in every round. If you’re in the neighborhood looking for solid service, upgraded food that delivers, and a crew that seems to actually enjoy the grind, pull up. You’ll walk out fed, buzzed, and already plotting the next visit.“

“excelente servicio, muy buena comida y muy buen local, recomendado!!“

“I finally decided to try Los Tacos No. 1 at Hudson Yards after hearing so much about it, and honestly, I don't understand all the hype.

The tacos were decent, but nothing that stood out compared to many other(Authentic) taco spots in New York City. There are plenty of places serving better tacos without the long lines and at a more reasonable price.

For one asada taco, two adobada tacos, and two sodas, the total came to about $30 before tip. Considering the portion size and overall flavor, it felt overpriced for what you get.

The food isn't bad, but in my opinion it's overhyped and overpriced. With so many great taco options throughout the city, I don't think it's worth the wait or the premium price.“

“The Best Pho in NYC, the broth is delicious & Service fast and friendly. It been my 3rd time here. I was not disappointed. I recommend all my friends.“

“Delicioso y económico....“

“Great place to watch the sunset over NYC! Great drinks and good food! Excellent service.“

“Strange but wonderful fusion food!“

“Absolutely incredible place I even got to meet the manager. The guy was awesome. I recommend this place completely to anybody else is off the hook fantastic“

“Tacos Comal is following what every taco spot in Ny is trying to do; and that is to mimic the ever popular Tijuana style taco of course originating from its name sake and an ever popular option in California. And just like these taqueria in NY that try to mimic the look is there but the flavor cannot seem to get it right. These tacos are 3.5, although I cannot give it in my review it’s not deserving a 4 but mediocre is not by any measure and definitely does not deserve a 3. It falls in a 3.5 category. It’s not that the flavor is bad, it’s more that I don’t taste the authenticity. The salsas were weak and the biggest saving grace of this taco spot is its tortillas, which are definitely delicious.

If you’re looking for a good New York taco this is your spot! If you’re looking for an authentic Mexico or California taco they are to be found elsewhere.“

“Atmosphere, amazing! Food, top! Jeffrey, BRAVISSIMO!“
