"First came Taqueria Ramirez, which opened in 2021, and has consistently drawn lines. Then came Enrique Olvera’s Esse Taco earlier this year. Now, the neighborhood has a new contender for destination tacos: Taqueria El Chato. The most recent of the three comes from the team behind South Williamsburg modern Mexican restaurant Aldama and down-the-street nightclub Ponyboy. As at the others, seating is limited to just a few stools and on a recent visit did not yet include a takeout option. Taqueria Ramirez is still our favorite of the bunch, but these juicy tacos are a welcomed addition to the city’s growing number of new taquerias." - Emma Orlow, Eater Staff
