"The carne asada really is the stand out. The spit roasted meat carved fresh to order is amazing."
"The tacos and quesadilla are bursting with fresh, authentic flavors that transport you straight to Mexico."
"The best tacos you will find outside of Mexico."
"These are the best tacos that I have tried in Mexico and the US."
"The tacos are fantastic and everything is great as well."
"Hands down, the best tacos I had in NYC."
Cons:
"If you’re looking for authentic tacos, this is not the place."
"Kinda overrated not really authentic mexican tacos."
"Some of the options are good you can taste the smoked meat in the asada tacos but the adobada is pretty salty."
"The steak, however, was slightly disappointing, kind of flavorless."
"The chicken tasted burnt. The steak had no taste."
"I probably have too high expectation on this from the overwhelming 5 star reviews, but I found it generally too salty and not hitting me and not the best tacos I’ve had…"
"The worst was the cactus taco which was very tasteless and wet making the tortilla soggy."
Service
Pros:
"The service was very efficient but my tip is to arrive 5 minutes before opening as the queue can get very long as the photos attached shows."
"The taqueros are hustling and work quick to get your food the way you want it."
"They pump out great tacos quickly."
"The staff is very friendly and always willing to help."
"They always greet me with a great smile no matter how busy they are."
"The service is friendly and very fast."
"The staff are very friendly and the quality of the tacos are amazing."
Cons:
"Server at the counter was kinda rude (she sighed so loudly when I couldn't hear her since it was so noisy with all the crowds)."
"The casier at the counter was very rude though, therefore only the two stars in total."
"The stuff was very busy and not helpful at all while I was selecting my tacos."
"Very noisy, a long queue and bit of chaos when taking the order."
"Will never come here again. Food was way too spicy for my 9yr old."
"Carne Asada - lacked flavor and the guacamole was refrigerator cold with a paste-like consistency."
"The staff was also really friendly and the service was quick."
Price
Pros:
"They aren’t cheap but nothing in this city is."
"It’s always buzzing with business always lines that go by fairly fast fresh drinks and all for a low price."
"Prices are reasonable and have gone up quite a bit over time but certainly worth every dollar."
"Good price."
"It’s quick, affordable and delicious."
"You can’t get better quality and consistency at $4.50 a taco anywhere else."
"Cheap, awesome & authentic."
Cons:
"It’s almost 6 dollars for a taco. FOR JUST ONE."
"At almost $5 per taco now, it's getting pretty pricey and considering the long wait at any time of the day, 5 stars is a stretch."
"The price is a bit expensive."
"Paying $10 for two tacos feels like a lot, and they were normal sized tacos."
"The food itself was good but definitely overpriced - the tacos were not big at all for their price ($5 each)."
"One piece of taco is almost $5 and the taste doesn't justify the price."
"The cost on the other hand was high. I paid a tad over $30 just for me."
Seating and Space
Pros:
"The store unfortunately had no seats (but there were seats provided by the Chelsea Market outside)."
"Keep in mind that it's not a sit down restaurant but there is plenty of seating options outside along the sidewalk."
"there’s seating outside so go on a good weather day if you’re wanting to sit and eat."
"There's no tables but there are plenty dotted around Chelsea Market and outside on the street."
"It is not a sit down place so you have to get the food and find a place inside the market."
"They have multiple locations around the city, this one is in Chelsea Market."
"The friendly staff and bustling market atmosphere add to the experience."
Cons:
"This place is tiny with little to no seating, so have a plan prepared for where you're gonna go to eat."
"Also, like all other LosTacos, there is NO SEATING!"
"This location inside of Chelsea market lacks seating options so you have to travel down the corridor to relax."
"Only problem is seating/ standing room is hard to find."
"My only complaint would be that I wish there was a seating area to eat the tacos."
"Also, be aware that there is no seating in the restaurant itself."
"I also wish they had more seating and tables, as we had to eat at the counter just outside of Los Tacos, and it was a stand up counter type of thing."
