Los Tacos No. 1, NYC, 5/6/26

Los Tacos No. 1 was created by 3 friends who wanted to bring authentic Mexican tacos to the east coast.   They did a superb job keeping their product simple and fresh and now have multiple locations around the city.  There was no seating and a line to order but it moved quickly and choices are limited so that helps.  Once you order and pay you take your recipt to the line of “taco makers” and they assemble your order after asking if you want corn or flour tortillas.  There was a station with hot sauces and pico de gallo which one of the employees was nice enough to point out to us.  From there make a beeline to whatever counter has a space for you to put your drink on while you eat some fabulous tacos.  Limes were on the counter where you picked up your tacos and napkin dispensers are located on many counters.  They sell no liquor or beer but have lots of sodas as well as bottled water.  Our mouths left with a wonderful glow – you should try one of their branches when in New York City.
