These are some dreadful tacos. The corn tortillas are stiff and dry. The pastor tacos are dry and tasteless. The fish tacos are dry and boring even with a dollop of mayo. The chips are dry and stale. The limes that accompany the dishes are, you guessed it, dry and you have to squeeze them so hard to get a paltry few drops of lime. Are you sensing a theme?
I guess the esquites was rather tasty and the table salsas are good. But that just isn't enough for Mexican food in the heart of Manhattan.
I also didn't really enjoy the "garage" aesthetic or the low-to-the-ground chairs that gave me mummy legs when I stood up. The service was adequate even though they couldn't keep checks separate.

The tacos were decent, though not extraordinary. However, the atmosphere and setting were delightful. I arrived with a reservation, but there was a mix-up on their end, and they couldn’t initially locate it. Fortunately, the staff handled the situation well and were able to accommodate us quickly. Overall, the service was attentive and friendly.

Very rarely do I feel like I was scammed into wasting my money. But Tacombi really said “hold my beer,” then put a crap ton of water in the alcohol rendering it just as flavourless as its food. Run! Don’t walk! To literally anywhere else ..

Went to try the Michelin star collaboration they had and it disappointed. It was pretty bare bones so I was expecting massive flavor from the meat which wasn't there. It basically just comes with a the meat and the tortilla. They were also cooked unevenly, with my friend getting 2 tacos nearly burnt out (meat was dry af). I will say one of the tacos was pretty good and juicy but expected more from this collab.

I feel scammed. There was a collaboration with a “Michelin “ star restaurant from Mexico City so I ordered the special item on the menu. What came were thinly sliced meats on a taco with NOTHING else in it. It did not even taste good. Felt like something you can pull out of a box in the frozen aisle and heat up. Is this some kind of joke or social experiment. Never trust any influencers again.

LMAO SCAMMERS!!. Did they claim it’s Michelin star taco?! They should refund me. It’s one SMALL pics of DRYYY meat with dry corn wrap. Charging $7 for ONE TACO, a pic of beef meat and bread. Hard to chew and tasteless. Worst restaurant in nyc and I live in the city. They did not provide sauce unless you ask. lol

I wish I could give zero stars. A rat ran under our table while we were eating, we still had to pay full price. Service was HORRIBLE! By the time I got pico de gallo my taco was cold. Taco was already mid AF. Horchata tastes like water. Will NEVER COME BACK HERE!!!! Instead, go to the St. Marks Taqueria, the food is amazing and they’re rat free. This was a massive fail.

The server that served us told us & brought our drinks 10mins after we got seated that there was going to be a delay because of the new cooks. BUT THEY DIDN'T TELL US IT WAS GOING TO BE 1 HOUR DELAY! Took us a whole hour to get our tacos & the tacos were cold. We got our salsa served 15 mins after we received the food. I also noticed that the White customers that got seated after us received their food before we did, I'd understand if it was just entrées but they were getting their tacos. The chicken tacos were pretty alright even when cold so that's a plus, but the Al-pastor & beef tacos were not good, but that is probably due to it being cold.

To be honest, it’s not my first place to go, but I’m craving some Mexican food but every time I go, I’m constantly reminded of the quality at the service. I took my team there following the staff meeting and everybody loved it.

A very nice, simple, yet delicious Mexican restaurant. The location and decor were really to my liking and fit the whole theme perfectly. The food was plentiful but tasty and the service was lightning fast. All the dishes were super fresh tasting and light except the burritas which stood out as the only heavy and somewhat dry dish in the bunch and could benefit from some sort of sauce. The tacos and quesadillas on the other hand were really very good and I would happily come back to try the rest of them.
Vegetarian options: Not as large of a selection as a Lebanese or Italian restaurant but our vegetarian friend found a few dishes to suit them and enjoyed the whole experience.
