Ilegal Taqueria

Fantastic new little taco joint! Great to sit down and have a quick bite or for takeout. I had the Al pastor tacos and one cactus taco. It was clean, and the staff were kind. Highly recommend paying this place a visit

I've eaten here a couple of times, and do highly recommend Tacos Ilegal. The tacos are very good, and are truly in the style of Mexico City street vendors. The service is very friendly and the decor is fun and modern. It's good to see that this business seems to have taken off. It's a five minute walk from my house, and I very much appreciate having them in the neighborhood. However, two things keep me from giving them a perfect five. My partner and I ordered an agua fresca and a soda, which of course, unlike a cocktail, don't require a lot of prep. The drinks arrived five minutes after the tacos were served, and only after I asked after them. Secondly, it would be great to see more vegetarian options on the menu besides the esquites, guacamole, rice and beans, and the nopales tacos. Ultimately, though, I do highly recommend Tacos Ilegal.

I was dropping off 5 million packages at Bushwick Post next door when I passed this relatively new restaurant I'd never seen before. I decided to stop by and the verdict is...Yummy yummy yummy! I just finished my takeaway dinner and it was great! I ordered 2 al pastor tacos and esquites. The tacos were delicious, but that is expected when you see how they are made! The esquites were a bit too watery with not so crisp corn, but still tasty! I totally recommend this place!

Love this place! Right off the Wilson L, which desperately needs some restaurants and I am so happy we now have tacos! These are legit, good authentic tacos. I've had the chorizo, al pastor, cecina, gringo (chicken) and what ever they have for specials, shrimp, barbacoa, etc, etc. Any tocos I've had here have been awesome! They also have a full bar, nice micheladas as well as a really great dining area in the back and a patio with fire pit.

The Tacos and different side dishes are just amazing. i highly recommend this restaurant.

Great! When I first past walked Ilegal Taqueria I wasn't in the mood for tacos, but since I'm originally from Texas and always looking for good Tex-Mex in NYC, I took a glance in side. A woman, who I can only assume is the owner or manager kindly greeted me and gave me a full tour of the restaurant. I loved the atmosphere and the simple condensed menu. I was back in the neighborhood tonight and paid them a visit. The same woman was there and kindly welcomed me again. It's always wonderful seeing someone be passionate about their business. The Al Pastor tacos were fantastic. It was some of the juiciest pineapple I've ever had on a taco. For the price point, flavor, and location Ilegal Taqueria is a great place to grab a quick bite. I will for sure be coming back!

Great vibe and friendly service. The barbacoa burrito is really delicious! Highly recommend this new gem in the neighborhood.

ordered tacos for the first time from this location, delicious but too expensive because of the size and the ingredients, which are pork. I don't think they should be so expensive, but anyway, good luck in the neighborhood

had been looking for a good mexican spot in the city for a long time now, came upon this one randomly and it didn't disappoint. knocked down a star simply for limited menu but realistically, its a taqueria, and they have tacos. great al pastor and their tortillas are amazing as well. too many spots in this city don't accompany al pastor w piña due to succumbing to white culture but this place refused to do so. i will be back

Highly recommend. My husband and I had a lovely date night dinner here. Great food, great service, and warm staff! So happy to have it in the neighborhood!
