Tacos 1986 West Village

Went to try the tacos at tacos 1986 and yes this tacos was definitely some of the best I’ve had . Flavourful, delicious, excellent potions, the staff was very welcoming and friendly. The owner was very friendly and polite and definitely had a great time as my first visit. Definitely will be back all together it’s definitely a 11/10

Best tacos in West Village by a long shot. The quesadilla and tacos with pork and/or steak were the best. Can’t wait to come back.

Tacos are amazing here and so is the service! Best manager! Cannot wait for the burrito to debut :)

WOW ! My coworker told me about this place and I checked it out right away . It’s kicks Los Tacos As* ! Had chicken quesadilla and al pastor taco . Insane . Will be back for everything else in the coming weeks . Praying they open one in Hell’s Kitchen ! Best service , in and out .. super friendly ! Damn I want more now 🤤

Best taco I’ve found in NYC. Wowie! I ate the paper wrapper. Almost got emotional bringing me back to the Best Coast. This is going to become a west village staple. Can’t wait to go again.

This was definitely a social media hype. I went there with high expectations because they were coming from my homeland of LA. And sad to say that these are not it. The adobado was OILY with no flavor. The asada and chicken were so dry. I had to add extra lime and the green salsa to make them edible. The rice and beans were really good. But yeah, that’s sadly it. The home made tortillas has good flavor but definitely the reheat makes them dry. I’m sure people like the quesadillas because the cheese can mask anything but a taco is the tell tell. Also, yes be warned that the space is tight to eat there. Please know I’m being generous by giving a 3.

Delicious tacos, the best in the city. Also 10/10 service

This place is absolutely incredible!!! 10/10 recommend to any real taco fans

I came here on opening day and was pleasantly surprised by these tacos--they're perfect for a quick bite or snack! I wasn't able to try the burrito or burrito bowl on the first day, but the taco and quesadillas really hit the spot. Everything is made fresh right in front of you, and it's actually pretty fun to watch them assemble your food! The meat was super tender and tasted absolutely amazing. I would definitely get the steak again! One thing to note: the place is pretty small. It was extremely crowded when I visited, so you might want to eat on a bench nearby or even take your food to Washington Square Park (about a 5-10 minute walk away), since it can get packed inside.

Tried the carne asada, al pastor, and chicken tacos. All of them are great and a good size. (A good 4-6 bites per taco) The set up is a bit crowded inside with only enough space for 5-6 people to eat at the counter. It's hard to get to the salsa station too. It'd be nice if they had some standing tables outside to eat your tacos.

Tacos 1986 is the new kid on the block. I went at 5pm on a Sunday and didn't have to wait that long (maybe 20 min total). There's a little window ledge for people to stand and eat (can fit about 5-6 people). The service was okay but their TV screens weren't working. I used their menu online but they didn't have the combo meal sets yet. You order and can wait outside for the order because it's small inside. They'll send you a text or scream your name to notify you. I tried 1 of each of their tacos (carne asada, chicken, Al pastor, and mushroom $5 each), chicken quesadilla, and their Jamaica (Hibiscus tea). The carne asada and chicken was juicy but was lacking some flavor/salt (salsas helped). The mushroom was a little burnt on my end. The best was Al pastor- not too salty. Love their salsa bar towards the back. You can def try many kinds of salsas and can help enhance the tacos. The chicken quesadilla was better than regular taco because the saltiness from the cheese made it better. Sadly, my Jamaica drink was bland and watered down. Also, when I went, they didn't have any cup covers, so be careful with your drink. Overall I think tacos 1986 is good. I'll come back in a few months to re-try.

Insanely awesome, especially enjoyed the quesadilla preparation but you can't go wrong with any of the meats. Salsa bar and fresh tortillas were a nice touch. Everyone who works there is super friendly. Go!!

Tacos 1986 is Cornelia Streets newest restaurant and a welcome addition to the block. I had the Pollo Asado and the Adobada taco, both were very good. The staff were super friendly and the service couldn't have been faster. The perfect spot for a quick bite in a casual, clean, and convenient environment. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu

Unreal tacos and amazing staff!!! Have had many tacos here in NYC and these are at the top. Great portions and super tender meat. Tacos came out very quickly and it's right next to the West 4th station, making it a convenient option. A must try if you haven't yet. The staff members were all so friendly and made everyone feel welcomed.
