"The Adobado tacos come off an awesome presentation of rotating, roasting pork - looked like they were selling fast, too!"
"The Adobaba pork meat is marinated to perfection, I’ve not had anything quite like it."
"These compared very much to the tacos I ate in Mexico."
"The carne is seasoned to perfection, pork is very flavorful and chicken is a lil smoky."
"Grilled chicken is juicy and delicious."
"Delicious Mexican tacos, some of the best I’ve had in the USA."
"The flavors meld together beautifully, creating a taste sensation that lingers long after the meal is over."
Cons:
"The chicken one wasn’t that good."
"The quality of food was fine. But did it worth on this price? Absolutely not!"
"The steak could’ve had a little more flavor."
"The chicken and beef taco meat isn’t as well marinated and can dry out a little."
"They were okay lacking flavor for sure."
"The tacos adobada were too greasy had very little pineapple and they need a more variety of salsas."
"As a vegetarian the only available option for me were the cactus tacos, which were very average."
Service
Pros:
"Service was quick and efficient. 10/10"
"Their service was like a well oiled machine with orders taken swiftly and delivered in the right way too!"
"They take orders pretty quickly and serve up fast too."
"The atmosphere is friendly and you can see how they cook your tacos, the best part is that the cooks are very nice which means you have good service."
"The staff: are friendly but always rushed."
"Staff was very friendly from the young gentleman who helped us place our order to the man who prepared it."
"The staff was super friendly (mind you, I do speak Spanish, too…)."
Cons:
"When it gets really packed and they have a line outside, employees were waiting for you to finish eating, cleaning by your feet, they even open the door and gesture for you to hurry!"
"It was standing room only to eat so it was kinda hard to maneuver with kids but they didn’t complain."
"The only thing that has been tricky for us is the tables are standing tables without chairs - taking a young child means we have to take it to go each time because she can’t reach the table."
"Staff were friendly but not accurate! They got our orders wrong and then fixed it."
"We did have to wait a while before we got ours even though people behind us in the line got their food first."
"I would give this place 5 stars but the ordering seemed to confuse people in the line. Then there was def a language barrier."
"No opportunity to sit or go to the bathroom, they should definitely expand."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"Nestled in the bustling streets of New York City, Los Tacos No.1 is a culinary gem."
"Right in the center of NYC, right in the centre of Times Square."
"The environment is bustling, which makes it that much more of an experience."
"Wonderfully chaotic and charming atmosphere."
"The vibe is lit with joyful Mexican music and everyone dancing while they eat."
"The atmosphere was fantastic, I love the stand tables."
"This place has such a vibe. Standing room only, long lines but moves fast."
Cons:
"The restaurant is a bit crammed and small."
"It’s a very small and noisy place, but the food is worth it."
"The atmosphere is energetic and a bit loud and it’s literally standing room only (it’s lunch counter style, but without chair)."
"The place itself gets really really crowded during meal times, with everyone standing elbow to elbow along narrow tables."
"Seating/ standing room is hard to find."
"It’s not a sit-down restaurant, so don’t expect a cozy ambience and be prepared to wait for a space to stand and eat."
"The standing room only thing, its now annoying."
Value
Pros:
"Super cheap at around 4-5 dollars per taco and absolutely worth it."
"Relatively reasonably priced as well, with $4-5 per taco."
"Worth every penny."

"What's even better is that the prices were quite reasonable."
"Def a cheap and tasty treat worth checking out!"
Cons:
"Rather small and not super cheap but well worth it."
"But prices have gone up now. You are going to shell out almost $6 for a taco."
"Taco is banging but the price is not."
"They are pricey circa $6 each, but hey, it's New York!"
"The tacos are on the expensive side at $6 a taco"
"They are starting to get very expensive. The average price is $5 a taco but you can get everything on them for that price."
"Please, note that the tacos are a bit over priced."
