Los Tacos No. 1

Chelsea·$

Adobada Taco

$5.25

Marinated spicy pork carved from a rotisserie, served with pineapple on a corn tortilla.

Tip: Get it on the corn tortilla. Flour is good, but their corn is hand-pressed right in front of you and has a much better flavor and texture.

#299% recommend

Taqueria Ramirez

Greenpoint·$

Campechano Taco

$5.00

A mix of slow-cooked suadero beef and spicy longaniza sausage.

Tip: This is the 'pro' order. The combination of textures—soft beef and crispy sausage—is what makes it. Add the green salsa for a bright acidic finish.

#399% recommend

Birria Landia

Jackson Heights·$

Birria Taco

$4.00

Slow-braised beef in a corn tortilla dipped in chili oil and grilled.

Tip: You MUST order the consommé separately to dip your tacos in. It's not a complete experience without the broth.

#498% recommend

Tacos El Bronco

Sunset Park·$

Taco al Pastor

$3.50

Marinated pork with pineapple and onions on two fresh corn tortillas.

Tip: Get the tacos with 'everything'—the grilled onions they provide on the side are sweet and salty, and they pair perfectly with the spicy pastor. Their salsa verde is bright and punchy.

#597% recommend

Los Tacos No. 1

Chelsea·$

Carne Asada Taco

$5.75

Grilled marinated steak chopped to order on a fresh tortilla.

Tip: Ask for it 'con todo' (with everything)—that includes their excellent guacamole, which is standard on these tacos and not an extra charge.

#697% recommend

Taqueria Ramirez

Greenpoint·$

Suadero Taco

$5.00

Slow-braised beef brisket finished on the grill for crispy edges.

Tip: Don't skimp on the onions and cilantro. The beef is very fatty and rich, and the fresh aromatics are essential to cutting through that richness.

#796% recommend

Tacos El Bronco

Sunset Park·$

Suadero Taco

$3.50

Slow-cooked, tender beef brisket seared on the grill.

Tip: The suadero is very rich. Make sure to squeeze plenty of fresh lime over it to cut through the fat. It's the most savory taco on the menu.

#895% recommend

Taqueria Ramirez

Pastor Taco

$5.00

Taqueria Coatzingo

Jackson Heights·$

Birria Tacos

$10.95

Corn tortillas filled with beef that's simmered in guajillo chile sauce.

Tip: The consommé is essential. Dip the tacos in it. Order four, not three — they disappear fast.

#1292% recommend

Taqueria Ramirez

Greenpoint·$

Tripa Taco

$5.00

Crispy fried beef intestines, boiled then seared until chip-like.

Tip: Ask for it 'bien dorado' (extra crispy) if you want the full chip-like experience. It's the best tripa in the city.
