So good. I love eating here. Would come again for sure. Highly recommend. Is this place open?

Still one of my favorite taco spots in NYC 20+ years and counting but I worry that they're losing their original charm but catering to a gentrifying neighborhood by offering bowls etc a la chipotle. They still have all the traditional staples. Ear, tongue, tripe, and everything else simmering in their pot of goodness and finished on the flat top. The Al pastor rotating on the vertical spit is also a must have.

My favorite taco spot. Not cheap like back in the 90s but who is? Large variety of meats to choose from. If Spanish is an issue then use the app and you get a discount. They serve burritos, bowls etc.. ETA in your car or go home. There is outside seating. The staff are busy so don't bother them with nonsense. This place does tremendous business. My go to is tacos Oreja and carnitas. Occasionally I'll get a bowl with Oreja(pig ears). PS I have been several times a few doors down to Dona Maty. I ordered chicken tacos for a friend and they pulled out pre cooked dry chicken. I cancelled it and never went back again I asked at Taco mix if the chicken is pre cooked and they said no. I watched them make it in front of me e. Ow there is never a reason to go to Dona Maty

they are lazy as hell, I put a order in uber eats, I asked for avocado and tomatoes on the side, and they "couldn't" do it. I called the store the lady made up a whole story how they have to chabrge extra for every topping you request on the side, so you basically telling me I have to pay extra to put the toppings that come with the entre on the SIDE

Ordered food on uber eats. Delivery came fast but food was bland. No seasoning. Sour cream wasn't cream was blocky. Didn't enjoy the taco which btw I should've read it. Didn't realize it was just 1 taco. And the torta was buns too. Threw everything away waste of bread.

I called to see if this place was open was told it was open till 5am and at arrival I got rejected and could no place my order. This is unbelievable as I always order from this place and this time they denied my service. Please get this people trained as I'm a local near by and always order from here. Thank you.

First impressions: N/A I ordered to go via seamless The Noms: Al Pastor tacos - not bad, generous portions. I would order this again, but pretty expensive at almost $5 a taco. If there's somewhere else to eat, I'd probably pass. Love that it comes with a slice of pineapple... some places either skimp on the pineapple or skip it altogether. Tacos Dorado - THE WORST! When I ordered they have options for 1) chicken 2) cheese 3) chicken and cheese. I selected option #3 thinking that it would be chicken and cheese both inside each tacos dorados... but instead I was give two chicken tacos dorados (fairly good, but a bit dry) and two cheese dorados (gross!). The cheese dorados were inedible because the cheese was solid, not melty or cheesy, it was a still solid block of cheese that tasted stale and tough. I had to abandon the last two (see picture) after one bite of the cheese dorado. Gross gross gross! They should have been more explicit in saying that it wasn't mixed chicken and cheese. Totally gross. Will not order again. In Conclusion: 2/10. I probably would not order here again and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else either. NO!

OMG, so GOOD! I love tacos. I had the Birria tacos, with black beans and yellow rice, and they were amazing! Great menu of extra toppings available at reasonable prices. Pina Asada and grilled pineapple) for dessert, all washed down with a tamarind jarrito! Amazing, thanks guys!

Horrible horrible horrible packaging. This is the second time my food has arrived damaged.

This was a good choice for Mexican food. I had hongos, nopal, huitlacoche, and vegetarian tacos. They were all served with radish, cucumber, lime wedges, and salsa (I opted for the spicy one). The vegetarian taco tasted the best to me because of the variety of ingredients in one taco, but that also made it a tad overfilled. I also really enjoyed the huitlacoche one for the texture on the mushrooms. The tortillas tasted nice and fresh. The price was also reasonable overall.

The food is so so good. They really put a lot into the flavor. The service is excellent they always get it right. I have never been disappointed. I will continue to order from here.

Have tried a variety of things from here; tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and cemitas. Can overall say this is a fantastic place for quick Mexican street food. Everything is quality, and I thoroughly enjoyed everything. The burrito was alright, but everything else was fantastic, particularly the pollo asado quesadilla and chicken tinga cemita. Some of the best I've had in Manhattan.

Best tacos in Manhattan! I order from here almost every week, also highly recommend their burritos. Great price and quality

Amazing the tacos, quesadillas and guacamole were all wonderful. We are from California and it's always hard to get Mexican food that is good but this is spot on. Highly recommend
