Tacos Cano (formerly known as Taqueria Y Fonda) still has the freshest, tastiest food in the neighborhood and the friendliest service. For a 'hole in the wall', the atmosphere is cozy and uplifting. If you are local to the neighborhood, you need to try this place. They are also great with dietary restrictions such as vegan.

Just arrived in New York and came to this place near where I’m staying from the great google reviews. The owner was so friendly and chose a sensational Mexican beer for me. Lovely local friendly atmosphere with fun Mexican YouTube playlist. Amazing fresh food and good helpings, and very reasonably priced for New York. Would recommend to everyone and even come again!

Like most holes in the wall, this place is an absolute banger.

The portions are generous, the food is fresh af, there’s FLAVOR (sorry cilantro haters the burritos here aren’t for you), and the vibe is cute.

10/10 recommend and if you love yourself get the flan. If you hate yourself, also get the flan, it’ll be a delicious distraction from hating yourself.
