“This place is busy, and for the right reasons! We went here in the evening and got a Pollo Asada. The craft and technique with which the chef made our taco, was truly impressive. The chicken was so soft and flavourful. We really enjoyed it. Though we would've enjoyed some hot sauce on it too, but we didn't notice the sauce bar in the back in time. This place gives you a street vendor vibe, in a closed restaurant - which I liked.“

“Love birria-landia in brooklyn and decided to come to the roosevelt ave location. This one definitely seems larger as they had a whole section for orders and things. Food is always good but i will say it did get pretty expensive. Downside is that parking in this area is difficult.“

“Excellent!!! The Taco’s are so good!!“

“What happens when really great Mexican and Venezuelan seafood come together? El Rey de Pescado, culinary bliss! Such a great penultimate 2022 dinner tonight. So good that we devoured everything before any pics were taken, except for the warm, chocolate filled empanadas and strawberry ice cream dessert. Cocktails were perfection. And live Jazz! Go in 2023! We'll be. Feliz Año Nuevo everyone, be safe.?“

“I had got 2 bowls and 2 nachos bags with queso sauce for a responsibly price and the workers was very fast and polite . and not to Exaggerate I almost cried the way the food was so good I totally recommend everyone to come to this this spot !!!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

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

“They are always packed which is good but not when it gets too crowded which is often expect to wait about 30-45 min for your food however their food is decent. I had a chicken quesadilla and the chicken was dry. i tried it again but this time birria and it was much better but once you get to the center its dry overall their decent and good for cravings and btw there is no parking!!!!“

“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.“

“Très belle découverte. Nourriture excellente et très bon service.“

“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.“

“Very delicious Mexican spot in Park Slope !I had the best shrimp and birria tacos. I and my wife shared the homemade guacamole which was very fresh and tasty . Portions were very big and tacos were definitely amazing .The owner was very friendly and helped us with our orders ! I will definitely come back !!“

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

“Food is absolutely amazing, staff is totally respectful and fast.“

“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.“

“Small taco house but taste good. I passed by chance and it’s afternoon. Start with beef taco first and taste good so decide to have burrito bowl to complete my meal. They have small seating space in front of the shop that you can sit to enjoy your meal. Credit card accepted. “

“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!“

“Everything I've tried from here is amazing! Love the pork summer rolls, fried chicken dumpling, the broth in the pho is seasoned deliciously. Fast service! Everything is very reasonably priced for the amount and quality. It is cash only which can be inconvenient if you don't plan ahead. The atm next door has a really high fee to withdrawn.“

“My go to spot in bushwick for the best Al Pastor tacos and burritos! Very authentic style Al pastor - very reminiscent of the Mexico City style taquerias. The Al pastor meat is always flavorful, they have homemade tortillas and the beans are excellent. They have incredible horchata as well. For under $15, you get a generous portion.“

“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!!“

“The place is cheerfully decorated with colorful artwork, sneakers, and bright piñatas. It's a very fun vibe! We were there to celebrate our birthdays, and this turned out to be the perfect place. Upon walking in, the first thing we noticed was how loud this place was. They have a DJ, and the music was on full blast to the point where you have to yell if you want to have a conversation. We actually debated if we should stay or go somewhere else, but thankfully, we decided to stay. We ordered esquite, chicken quesadillas, tacos de alambre, birria tacos, and the mar y tierra. All of the food was really good and well seasoned. My favorite was the tacos the alambre, the steak was so flavorful! The service here was excellent! Even though they were busy, they continuously checked on us, bringing out fresh plates and napkins. My friend told them we were celebrating our birthdays, so they sang happy birthday and brought out the guy dressed as a luchador. The DJ was also great and played a variety of music. If you want to celebrate a birthday or just have a very fun time, this is definitely a great spot.“

“This place has the legit street taco that is so hard to find in NYC. Tacos are great (el pastor & Carnitas my fav) and remind me of my California days in LA where you can get that perfect simple street taco that lets the ingredients do the talking. The tacos are super fresh and fantastic flavor.They also do a $2 taco Tuesday deal which is pretty insane now a days.The atmosphere is pretty bare bones but don't let that stop you, the staff is super nice and quick service.Kid-friendliness: Great family spot, staff super nice.“

“Great service from Yesica. She was very kind, helper, and patient with my order. She took care of us so much, and those tacos were so delicious that I would come back as soon as possible. Keep in mind that if you want to eat and listen to great latin music, this is the right place,I recommend this please 100%“

“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've been meaning to leave a review for this restaurant for some time. From the moment I first came here, I knew I'd become a regular, and I definitely have. BEST Mexican restaurant in NYC. Food is always consistently amazing. I always order the chicken & shrimp tacos. Flavor is amazing. The margarita's are strong. The service is always spectacular. Every worker here is so so kind and attentive. One of my overall fav restaurants. I love it here“

“The best tortas ahogadas in Ny!!“

“Food is absolutely amazing, staff is totally respectful and fast.“

“Visited Friday 5/10/24 The vibe is really nice love the decorations. The music was a little loud. The service was great by Carolina and Gabriella. The bathroom was nice and clean and very comfortable. The only complaint that I had was that the octopus tacos a little tough to eat. I bought it up to the managers attention and he said thank you.“

“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.“

“Best tacos I have EVER had!!! Highly recommend. So delicious.“

“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!“

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

“The place is airy. Feel like you sitting outside. The service is fast and friendly. My favorite is the Baja fish. 2nd is beef Birria. 3rd is Sinaloa Shrimp. And you can't go wrong with the Al Pastor. I recommend taking advantage of the taco Tuesday. Buy one get one free taco!“

“Yesterday I ate in Taco majal and I am craving all day to go back and eat again. i dont even like indian food but Taco Mahal is delish. Nyc must“

“This place is super bueno. I recommend the tacos, sopes con carne, tortas, and of course the chips and guac. Their food is made with love! Very good burrito. Order was on time. I also had the mole de callo soup, it was good but i need to try the pozole.“

“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.“

“Great guys on the truck and seriously solid reasonably priced food...been going to them for a year ordering 2 or 3 go tos...BUT tonight switched it up a bit and had their Birria "sandwich" basically a Mexican Torta...my oh my that torta was UNREAL good and for $10 a bargain...can't recommend it enoughParking: solid“

“Food is super fresh and the owner is so nice and you can tell he takes pride in his food. Never had baliada before Mi Sabor and definitely a fan!“

“Spread Love & juice is the perfect place to get freshly made smoothies. Oh! did I tell you they also have wonderful customer service? Well they do!“

“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.“
