    I love the ambiance at this sit-down taco joint. Hip, colorful, tasty. If you're drinking, try the michelada - a spicy beer-based concoction they do well. I get the veg or fish tacos, never disappoint

    Get the tortillas with guacamole as an appetizer. A bit pricy, but the Tacos are amazingly good.

    Really cool authentic taco place- I loved the fun decor and the taco truck cash register! It's $6 per taco and they are really small. You end up spending a lot for a little & they don't come w chips

    Everything about this place is great...crispy fish tacos or bust. Also fantastic jams. 10/10 would eat here again 👌

    So I was wrong or my NYC Mexican expectations have tempered, but these are some of the best tacos downtown. Crispy fish, chorizo & egg stand out...plus the fun atmosphere and reasonable price.

    A "combi" is a Volkswagen Type 2 bus: made in Puebla and ubiquitous in Mexico until the mid-90s. I rode the back of a combi to pre-school every day; now you can watch your tacos made inside one.

    Honestly disappointed. Tacombi used to be my favorite Mexican spot in the city. Now a lot of the tacos are just meat on a shell. The avocado one however is still perfect

    Loved. Real mexican Times and flavors with great ingredients. Chilango, barbacoa, carnitas all amazing. Only miss is al pastor, skip that. Jalapeño salsa is amazing.

    Small Mexican joint in Nolita that serves up amazing tacos - we especially love tacos al pastor. The best part: tacos are served in corn tortillas, so your gluten-free friends can still enjoy!

    Mouthwatering Tacos.Horchata is a great drink to go with their spicy sauces. Their chips are on point. Really cool space, perfect for parties or large groups. Don't miss out on this dining experience.

    The "huevos con chorizo" breakfast taco is amazing and a perfect level of "slightly spicy." Larger than a taco / about the size of a small burrito, it's the right size if you're moderately hungry.

    Coolest. Taqueria. Ever. Bringing the outside inside made for a unique and memorable meal. Like everyone says, get the fish tacos, but try a bit of everything!

    Don't fuck around, get the tacos – hot and greasy, much like the hour long que for a table. Where else you gonna go, some back-street taco truck? Please.

    One of my fave places for mexican food in the city. Solid guac, with nice portion size. All tacos are great, esp the breakfast tacos, try chorizo and egg on soft flour tortilla.

    Love the casual vibe & the tacos! The guacamole con totopos is awesome - perfect homemade crunch, and the corn esquites is yummy w/out the mess of eating corn off the cob (& not as small as they say).

    Fantastic atmosphere and delicious tacos! The corn esquites were to die for! The corn chips and guacamole starts/sides are generous. Great place!

    Fresh pressed juices that will make your mouth water for literally days afterward and some of the best tacos in the city. I recommend the corn (omg, the corn), two tacos, and a juice!

    corn esquites are the highlight: creamy, spicy, and citrusy with a subtle smoky flavor, one order is more than enough for two to share - if you're willing

    When you see a taco shop slinging tacos out of a retro VW van with a pineapple bienvenidos sign, you stop and get a taco. No questions asked.

    You asked for it and I tried it :) Micheladas, fish tacos and corn esquites. Combined with hip atmosphere and cool vibes. This place is a winner.

    Probably the best tacos I've had in NYC hands down. Get the pork belly and crispy fish tacos. Split the tortilla shell to make 2 into 4 tacos. The sauces are also delicious. Habanero is spicy!

    Avoid the table under the skylight when it's raining! Also, eat as many tacos as you can. Crispy fish and shrimp are the best.

    The only move with these mini tacos is to separate each tortilla and split the contents - instantly double your order for free! 3 tacos is the perfect amount for lunch.

    So incredibly good. The corn is 2nd best on block but that's only bc cafe habana is down street. Corn is much easier to eat though as its off the cob. Don't leave here without a spicy fish baja style

    The tacos were pretty delicious. I definitely want to go back to try the ceviche. I love the way the place was decorated. Good for dates and friends.

    Horchata was very refreshing on a hot steamy day. Watch the red sauce... it was REALLY spicy. Fish tacos were yummy with avocado crema. Corn with Chipotle mayo was addicting.

    I go out of my way to visit this place whenever I'm in town. Either of the fish tacos - veracruzean or crispy - will treat you right. Wash them down with a glass of horchata.

    Each taco comes with two corn tortillas which you can easily make two tacos with! Great chips with guac, chips are thick and remind me of Juanita's chips from the west coast.

    Being from the west coast, my standards for legit Mexican food are pretty high. This place exceed them. Try the esquites, the pork taxis and of course the guacamole. Skip the tea, go for a marg.

    Perf. Taco. Spot. Personal favs are the crispy fish taco and the pollo adobo. Complete the meal with fresh sandia (watermelon juice). Atmosphere is darling and authentic.

    Everything about this place from the food, the drinks and the interior- it's so well designed. Get the two types of fish tacos and try all the sauces on the table. Some of the best tacos in NYC

    $3.50+ for a taco is kind of ridiculous especially since these are some tiny tacos BUT they are pretty damn good and the Michelada was one of the best ive had.. alambre, fish and roast pork combo BOOM

    Such an interesting and unique set up in this restaurant. The VW van where the tacos are made is a really cute addition. The food was good and reasonably priced.

    Tacos are of the off-the-hook variety. Favs are the puerco de pasilla tacos and the chips/guacamole. They do a great mezcal mule as well.

    If it's your first time, go with a crispy fish taco and a breakfast chorizo. If you've been before, just work your way down the list – everything's awesome.

    The Ground beef and the pork tacos are the way to go. Crispy fish tacos get an honorable mention. You cannot beat the place's amazing laid back ambiance.

    Favorites: crispy fish, short rib, huevos con chorizo, maiz y poblano. Make two tacos by spreading the fillings into the two tortillas provided and try a bunch with a friend.

    Definitely get chips & guac to share with the table. Also, can't go wrong with the crispy fish taco & pork belly tacos. Lastly, try all the sauces on the table!

    At lunch time, take a comfortable seat at a high-top table and indulge in a delicious array of tacos. Fish are especially tasty. (note: 1 taco order can be 2 if you split the tortillas)
