Great place to eat a good Mexican dish! Tacos are delicious and fresh. Asada is my favorite meat. The chicken quesadilla is the best quesadilla that I have ever eaten! Everything is so good. Toda la comida es deliciosa! PS: Hope they can open one in Jersey!

Numero uno taqueria in the city! So, so good! Both food and staff are great. The asada tacos are so flavorful and packed with everything. And you can add anything from the salsa bar to your order. This is an authentic Mexican place in the city and where you should go to satisfy your cravings.

This food is DELICIOUS. The food presents accurate to the pictures. I had the adobada burrito and it was mildly spicy but so flavorful and filling. Prices are reasonable. And the lady working the register was so kind in recommending something when it was my first time there and unfamiliar with the menu. The music playing in the background is fire too. 10/10; this place be the first restaurant I visit when I'm back in NYC.

Awesome variety, good prices, incredible salsa bar. The breakfast burritos are great too. Hard to find any faults. Definitely a contender for top manhattan taqueria

This is arguably the best restaurant in the neighborhood! I work around the corner and come nearly every other day. Everything is delicious. My favorite is the chicken tacos. There are also great vegetarian options - mushroom tacos and nopales (cactus) tacos! Beyond the food, I have to highlight Carina who you order from. She’s so sweet & genuinely just a bundle of joy. Me & my friends love it here & love her!!

Great wee place. Lean to eating spaces inside and a few tables and chairs outside. The service was good. Authentic tacos, delicious . You could help yourself to sides and sauces. Reasonably priced. ❤️❤️

This place was great. Decided to try it because our hotel was across the street and it seemed to be busy all times of the day which was a good sign. We actually wound up not waiting in a line or anything but the staff gave us warm chips and guacamole at no charge. Had some stellar breakfast burritos for a great price.

From the West Coast in San Diego Taqueria by El Prieto brought some serious authentic Mexican flavor to the East Coast in NYC. Order your meal, grab a drink, load up your favorite sauces and scoop up some hearty beans by their sauce bar. Drizzle fresh lime onto their perfectly seasoned grilled protein. The flavors are bold, satisfying, and clearly made with love. Portions are impressively generous especially in the city plus the prices are surprisingly affordable. Come get your taco fix with Taqueria by El Prieto! ㅜ

Very good tacos! The fish taco was amazing and beef follows straight after. The place looks nice and cozy. The staff were nice and welcoming. The salsa bar is nice and the beans pot is a novelty. I’ll definitely come back to taste the other dishes. Suerte!

Oh my gosh these Asada tacos are soooooooo goooooood. Is this what a california taco tastes like? If so then it's my favorite kind. The man at the counter is so nice. The restaurant is small, take out or standing room seating for about 6 people. The hot sauce station with the limes and sauces are so good. Do you sell the sauce there too?? I wish to buy some sauce. I've never had such a tasty hot sauce. You can tell it's all freshly made. Very clean and refreshing. I wish the best of luck to your restaurant, you deserve all stars❤️

The day I came was very packed, and there was only 1 cashier to attend a line of customers. Seemed pretty unfair considering it’s a small space. Carne asada tacos: was alright, it’s good but nothing spectacular. It just tasted pretty regular. I really like their topping bar and you can add whatever sauce. Horchata: was a little watered down but surprisingly sweet? It’s ok but I’ve had better. Wait time 10 minutes

It was really good, the fried fish was crunchy outside but perfectly moist inside. Guacamole was good, missing a little bit of seasoning. I would return !

It's hard to find a place that competes with the standard that Los Tacos No. 1 has set. Though, this spot does a lot of things really well. The vibe, menu, and flavors are all on point and the staff is very accommodating. All the food comes out fresh and the tortillas taste hand-made. The highlight is the self-serve salsa bar with complimentary pinto beans. Portions are on the smaller side given the steeper prices. For almost the same price, my steak taco fix goes to the OG, but if you want to avoid long lines and get more menu variety, this is a solid stop in NYC. Below is a breakdown of what I ordered, along with my thoughts. Asterisks (*) indicate items I especially enjoyed and would recommend ordering again. *Chicken Burrito ($14.50) - Straight up just meat, guac, cilantro & onions wrapped in a flour tortilla. I appreciate this style without all the extra rice and beans. Steak Taco ($5.89) - Flavors are all here but the steak is a bit chewy. Perhaps more marinade time could help tenderize it. I would give it one more chance considering how good everything else is. *Cucumber, Lime & Chia Agua Fresca (Comp.) - Super refreshing and not overloaded with sugar. This is perfect for a hot summer day. Hibiscus Agua Fresca (Comp.) - This has all the complex spices and notes that you would expect. A bit on the sweeter side compared to the others, but very well-balanced.

Cute taco shop. Salsa bar had a nice selection of salsa, complimentary pinto beans, and had a nice ambiance. My friend and I ordered the breakfast burritos- which were a major disappointment! Extremely tiny, no filling, and bland flavor. I was excited to try as a native of San Diego, but does not come close to the an authentic breakfast burrito.

I'm totally not understanding the high rating. I came here because it has 4.9 stars, but I thought it was the worst Mexican food I've had in the area. Very strange.
