50 Best Taco Restaurants near Long Island City

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

“I tried their Birria Tacos and they have the best in the area. A couple dollars more than what you get charged elsewhere but it's so worth it because the taco never falls apart, which can be hard with Birria. The flavor, service, and overall quickness is why i always come to these guys. Where else could you get birria at 3am?“

“I grabbed the Burger a La Mexicana & Fries from Eggstravaganza Mexican through MealPal and wow, this beef burger with pepper jack, jalapeno, avocado, and pico de gallo was super indulgent and flavorful. The brioche bun held everything perfectly—so satisfying!“

“my 1st time I ordered to go and I was amazed, tacos were thick so today I decided to dine in and unfortunately I found out there was no mole or pozole in their menu 😔 waiter requested my C19 card but he had no mask on ... anyways Food is good“

“The service and the food is really good, the lady in the front make sure I have everything, utensils and sauces. I have to mention that i went back to get food last week and the man who was taking orders don't speak English and it was difficult to communicate with him, the loud music make it even worse I think, the man was drunk. The service is usually outstanding just that day it was a horrible experience.“

“Perfect crew, perfect food! Many thanks to Piero and all his colleagues.“

“Nice causal place for a date. Nice music, great Hospitality and Healthy food!“

“I come often to this eatery for lunch. The owners are extremely friendly. The food is fresh and cleanly prepared in front of you. There are quick and have never made a mistake in what I have ordered. They have a burger on their menu which is amazing. I am glad to have this place nearby my workplace.“

“The premier easy take out spot in the West Village. I’ve been coming here for 3 years now, incredible and consistent tacos and burritos. My go to is either a steak and shrimp burrito (spicy), or a steak burrito bowl.

Unbelievable staff, with even better food. Couldn’t recommend enough!

“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!“

“I ordered 2 Santo's Steak trompo tacos and 2 chicken tacos as well as the Agua Santa. The quality of the steak trompo was phenomenal. It's tastes so delicious and cooked to perfection. I'd have to say the same for the chicken tacos. It was some of the most juicy chicken I've had in a long time. I originally ordered only one but went back for another one! The Agua Santa was decent but nothing crazy. The food and service was fantastic!“

“This place is delicious! They run like a well oiled machine and the staff really knows what they are doing. We really enjoyed the chicken and steak tacos plus the chips and guacamole. Highly recommend a visit! Prices are reasonable too. Just be prepared to stand to eat. They don’t have chairs.“

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

“Best Latin fusion joint in South Brooklyn“

“I just ate here and everything was on point. The staff was welcoming and genuinely friendly, the kind of service that makes you feel taken care of as soon as you walk in. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned you can tell they put pride into what they serve. The atmosphere is laid back and comfortable, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. And the prices? Extremely fair for the quality and portions you get.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“A friend recommended me this place on my trip to NYC and I had to stop by. Not only were the staff so kind, but the food was delicious. I bought two tacos, walked to a bench and ate them, and immediately went back for two more tacos. My only regret is not getting more consome 😫. I love that they give you pickled onions and hot sauce on the side for you to add yourself.

It may look like a “limited” menu to some people but when you perfect a taco this good, you don’t need a million options! Get the birria with consome on the side!

If you’re in NYC or visiting you HAVE to try this place. Skip Gus Tacos and get the real deal.“

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

“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!“

“I absolutely LOVEEEEE this spot! I would always prefer my tacos from this spot over any other. I was in tears of joy, jumping up and down when I peeped they opened another location on myrtle but they're all worth the distance! I recommend anything on their menu they do not ever disappoint!!!!!!! Taco Bell WHO? lol“

“This place is such a neighborhood gem. The happy hour is awesome, and the falafel and chicken frito taco are delicious. Chips and guac are crack. I wish they had a kids menu but they were so wonderful at accommodating some modifications which we appreciated!“

“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.“

“This location for Los Tacos is delicious and efficient. Very close to Hudson Yard. Clean and bright. I headed there for lunch and was in and out within 30 minutes. The lines were long and took about 15 minutes to get to me. Another 5 minutes for them to prep the order. 10 minutes to eat. You get a ticket after you order, then hand it to the prep counter and wait there.

Their hand-made corn tortillas are the way to go. I thought the tacos looked small, but you'll feel sated because there is a generous amount of meat. The meat was tender and flavorful, very juicy and not dry at all, while still being lean. Adobada pork has a kick, order something else if you don't want spicy. Add your own lime slices at the pickup counter. Additional fixings on the far wall. Stand and eat. Bring your own wet naps and hand sanitizer if coming from touching NYC surfaces, lol. 😂 These get messy to eat!

NOTE: I tried to order 1 corn and 1 flour tortilla, but it's not customizable like that, so pick one for your whole order.“

“Strange but wonderful fusion food!“

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

“Delicioso y económico....“

“was afraid to post this review because places this good should stay secret. the food was incredible. so flavorful and fresh, truly magnificent. would post pictures but the food was so good i licked the cardboard tray clean before i got a chance to even think about photos. amazing portion sizes. food is filling, tastes incredibly fresh, and seasoned perfectly. looking forward to coming back“

“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“

“I was craving tacos in the middle late at night and was struggling to find anything open that would have decent quality. This place pleasantly surprised me – their tacos were delicious and very well-made. I ordered shrimp, veggie and barbacoa with guacamole as an extra. The portion was huge, and each type of taco was great, not worse than in any nice taco restaurant. Definitely recommend it.“

“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!“

“great place located in Brooklyn. come out and support!“

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

“Amazing tacos! Stopped in for a quick bite to eat and was blown away. Super friendly staff and the tacos were fresh and delicious! I was also pleasantly surprised by the salsa, it had a fantastic sweet heat to it, I could have drank the stuff! Highly recommended.“

“increible servicio comida muy deliciosa lugar muy agradable“

“Great Al pastor burrito and super friendly staff!

I had just finished a late workout and was heading to meet up with friends when I needed some food. I saw the food truck and stopped by. I ordered the Al pastor burrito because I was super hungry which was $13. He melted the cheese which to me is always the most important thing and the rest of the ingredients are fresh and the meat was delicious.“

“Right off the 7 train, you come down & it’s a white truck in front of dime bank/ k choice market, best tacos & salsas available late! Super friendly guys, always give you a tiny sample taco while you wait, you can’t beat their prices are pretty good for the quality of food you get!“
