"Long may you ponder why a taco storefront on West 94th Street is called Taqueria 86 (it commemorates the year the World Cup was held in Mexico). A full range of tacos is offered, to be washed down with beer in a comfortable, sports-bar setting, but the best tasted was filled with a shredded and chile-laden birria. The braised meat was totally up to par, and cheese and cilantro were generously applied, but the consomé seemed a bit thin and pallid, so you may want to skip the dipping part." - Robert Sietsema
