"Truly qreat tasting Mexican food. The service was friendly and quick. I love the condiments area for adding you individual finishing adjustments. The Green and Red Hot Salsas are outstanding...you must try these. I will eat here again on my next visit to New York."

"Great place to eat a good Mexican dish! Tacos are delicious and fresh. Asada is my favorite meat. The chicken quesadilla is the best quesadilla that I have ever eaten! Everything is so good. Toda la comida es deliciosa! PS: Hope they can open one in Jersey!"

"Numero uno taqueria in the city! So, so good! Both food and staff are great. The asada tacos are so flavorful and packed with everything. And you can add anything from the salsa bar to your order. This is an authentic Mexican place in the city and where you should go to satisfy your cravings."

"This is arguably the best restaurant in the neighborhood! I work around the corner and come nearly every other day. Everything is delicious. My favorite is the chicken tacos. There are also great vegetarian options - mushroom tacos and nopales (cactus) tacos! Beyond the food, I have to highlight Carina who you order from. She’s so sweet & genuinely just a bundle of joy. Me & my friends love it here & love her!!"

"It's hard to find a place that competes with the standard that Los Tacos No. 1 has set. Though, this spot does a lot of things really well. The vibe, menu, and flavors are all on point and the staff is very accommodating. All the food comes out fresh and the tortillas taste hand-made. The highlight is the self-serve salsa bar with complimentary pinto beans. Portions are on the smaller side given the steeper prices. For almost the same price, my steak taco fix goes to the OG, but if you want to avoid long lines and get more menu variety, this is a solid stop in NYC. Below is a breakdown of what I ordered, along with my thoughts. Asterisks (*) indicate items I especially enjoyed and would recommend ordering again. *Chicken Burrito ($14.50) - Straight up just meat, guac, cilantro & onions wrapped in a flour tortilla. I appreciate this style without all the extra rice and beans. Steak Taco ($5.89) - Flavors are all here but the steak is a bit chewy. Perhaps more marinade time could help tenderize it. I would give it one more chance considering how good everything else is. *Cucumber, Lime & Chia Agua Fresca (Comp.) - Super refreshing and not overloaded with sugar. This is perfect for a hot summer day. Hibiscus Agua Fresca (Comp.) - This has all the complex spices and notes that you would expect. A bit on the sweeter side compared to the others, but very well-balanced."
