LOS TACOS No.1 was created after three close friends from Tijuana, Mexico, and Brawley, California, decided to bring the authentic Mexican taco to the East Coast. The authentic taste comes from family recipes and fresh, simple, and tasteful ingredients straight from home.
Bustling taqueria serving tacos, quesadillas & aguas frescas in a street-style setup (no seating).

Reviews
The food was absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and authentic. The service was top-notch and the atmosphere was lively and enjoyable. They have a salsa bar that goes well with the tacos …Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to. Highly recommended! More than a 5 ⭐️ restaurant
We ordered tacos and quesadillas (pork and chicken), and everything was delicious. The portion sizes were generous, 3 tacos and 2 quesadillas were enough for two people. The tortillas taste fresh, and you can customize the heat level with different salsa options depending on how spicy you like it.
I was impressed by how clean and well-organized the space was. Staff members constantly walk around clearing tables and keeping everything tidy. One of the employees even came over to check how we were doing, offered water, and kindly brought us a small complimentary item to try, which made the experience feel extra thoughtful.
If you love delicious, authentic-style Mexican food at a fair price, and don’t mind standing, this spot is totally worth it. The fast service, great flavours, and warm hospitality make Los Tacos No. 1 a must-visit in NYC.
The line gets long quick but moves very quick and once you order there someone to direct you so you know who is available to make your food.
Staff were super friendly, went I sat I was offered some tap water and a free side of grilled vegetables which I thought was really nice.
Very close to grand central so trains are nearby.
I had the marinated pork corn taco (adobada) and the marinated pork tostada. They have a station for toppings which is nice and you can add lime at the time you pick up your order. Standing room only but they have tables so you can eat while standing, if you squeeze under the table by the window, there’s a window ledge you can sit on, but it’s not easy and won’t be accessible for everyone of any size/mobility.
The taco was nice, I like that you can choose corn or flour tortilla. The pork was decently tasty, not too much fat and had a very nice char which I enjoyed. The portion size is nice, two orders were plenty for me. But I must say I’ve had tastier pork tacos (Al pastor).
I was not a fan of the tostada shell itself, very dry and tasteless, could use a good pinch of salt to start with. I’ve never had such a bitter tasting tostada. Maybe that’s the way it’s made traditionally, but if I return I’d stick to the tacos.
I added the mild salsa and radish before taking the picture, I took some green salsa on the side. The salsas are wonderful- flavorful and chunky.
The atmosphere is nice, the staff keeps it clean and I think it’s great that they offer água fresca which looked great, just not willing to spend 5 dollars for a cup. Tacos were decently priced at about 6 bucks each.
Disappointed that this location does not offer margaritas, I think that would’ve went well with the tacos. I was looking forward to it but honestly completely forgot about it while I was there, since I was mostly focused on getting tacos. It appears the other locations offer it.
Overall, decent tacos at a decent price with lots of options to customize it to your liking. I recommend.
This place has my heart.
Los Tacos No. 1 is, generally speaking, very average. I’ve had better tacos from random street carts.
That said, I know I need to grade on a curve here because the taco game on the East Coast is generally not great.
On a NY curve, sure, they are above average—maybe even the best I’ve found here—but that’s like being prom queen at summer school.
I’ve been lucky enough to hit up some great taco places during my travels, and Los Tacos really hit the spot! I was surprised how good it was.
Prices are good and service is fast. The line moves at a good pace.
