LOS TACOS No.1

"Los Tacos No. 1 offers flour and corn tortillas for pork adobada tacos, similar to pineapple-tenderized al pastor tacos. Grilled steak (carne asada), pollo asado, and nopal fillings are also available, and any one can be ordered as a double-tortilla mula or a quesadilla. There are multiple locations around the city." - Melissa McCart

"The Chelsea Market and Tribeca locations of Los Tacos No. 1 are now open for takeout and delivery. In addition to their normal menu of quesadillas, tacos, and mulas, they’re offering a huge DIY family-style taco platter. You can place your order in person or ahead of time online here. Taco gods, thank you for looking out." - hannah albertine

"If Los Tacos isn’t mobbed when you get there, your tacos are on us. The people behind this mini-chain keep opening locations in the busiest parts of Manhattan, but we get it—we need every tourist to know that there’s exemplary adobada in Midtown Manhattan, of all places. Though popular, this outlet is spacious enough for everyone to get a turn at one of the standing tables. Get pork, carne asada, nopales—whatever. It’s all good, and it all comes on your choice of an impressive handmade flour or corn tortilla." - neha talreja, bryan kim, hannah albertine, molly fitzpatrick

"This Tijuana-style taco shop started in Chelsea Market in 2013, and you’ll still consistently find lines there any time you go. But now they also have a handful of outposts around Manhattan—including useful locations near Grand Central, Penn Station, and Times Square. There’s nowhere to sit, but there are counters where you can stand and eat asada, adobada, or nopal tacos with all the fixings, and we encourage you to expand beyond tacos to try some of their cheese-layered mulas." - willa moore, bryan kim, will hartman, neha talreja, carlo mantuano, sonal shah

"Our favorite taco mini-chain is doubling down on their commitment to feeding you tacos before you travel out to the suburbs. Los Tacos No. 1 has their sixth location just outside Penn Station, making the sun shine just a little bit brighter on all the scaffolding around here." - Will Hartman, Willa Moore
