Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in The Infatuation, The LO Times (Ryan Sutton), and Eater NY. Updated August 2026.
Taqueria Ramirez · Greenpoint
Mexico City-style tacos al pastor, suadero, and tripa on custom comales imported from DF; the Infatuation's highest-rated NYC taqueria.
Birria-Landia · Jackson Heights
The Tijuana-style truck that gave birria mainstream status in NYC. Still the city's best consommé-dipped quesa-tacos.
LOS TACOS No.1 · Chelsea Market
Chelsea Market Tijuana-via-San-Diego standard. Adobada and carne asada on fresh-pressed tortillas; the most universally recommended NYC taco for newcomers.
Carnitas Ramirez · East Village
East Village sequel from the Taqueria Ramirez team. Every cut of the pig behind a pea-green counter, Michoacán-style.
Tacoway Beach · Rockaway Beach
Rockaway Beach fish-taco standard. Baja-style tacos a top option in the five boroughs outside of birria.
