Authentic Mexican street tacos w/ marinated pork, steak & chicken. Popular salsa bar elevates every bite. A must-try in NYC! [1]
A popular Mexican eatery that started in Chelsea Market in 2013 and has since expanded across Manhattan. Known for its efficient service and a popular salsa bar, the restaurant offers consistently delicious marinated pork, steak, and chicken tacos on your choice of flour or corn tortillas. Their clean, tiled aesthetic contributes to a fast-moving line experience.
Los Tacos No. 1 specializes in authentic Mexican street food, with tacos being the main draw. Popular choices include marinated pork, steak, and chicken tacos, served on either flour or corn tortillas. The accompanying salsa bar is a significant highlight, allowing customers to customize their spice and flavor profiles. While generally lauded, a few reviews mention them being 'mid' or slightly overpriced, though the majority recommend the food highly [1].
"The marinated pork, steak, and chicken tacos are highly recommended, especially when paired with the variety of salsas from their salsa bar. The Adobada taco and Carne Asada taco are specifically called out as delicious options."
Overall customer sentiment is highly positive, with many praising the quality and flavor of the tacos, particularly highlighting the marinated meats and the extensive salsa bar [1]. Some diners find it to be a bit overrated or overpriced, but this is a minority opinion.
Important Note
Some diners feel the restaurant is overrated or overpriced compared to expectations, particularly those with experience eating Mexican food in Texas. The breakfast burritos, while recommended, are noted to be on the smaller side and may require two to be fully satisfying.
