Casual taqueria specializing in al pastor tacos and chicharron
"Tacos El Porky is basically a fast food taco spot—in the best possible way. The taqueria specializes in al pastor tacos shaved right off a trompo and served with pineapple, onions, a spicy red chili sauce, and their “porkie sauce” (cilantro and mayo). Those are good, but our favorite taco here is the cochi taco with chunks of chicharrones, pickled onions, and a green chili sauce. The third taco on their small menu is the cheesy and delicious gringa taco, which is actually more like an al pastor quesadilla than a taco. That’s it—just three tacos on the menu—all pork and all fast. It's a perfect quick and affordable lunch option." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo
"For those craving al pastor tacos, this is your spot. As the name alludes, the pork tacos are the star at this tiny taco spot in Downtown Miami, which specializes in all things swine related." - Olee Fowler
"Tacos El Porky is a casual little taco spot in Downtown. They specialize in tacos al pastor, carved right off a trompo. They’re good—the best thing you can get on the small menu—and this spot works great for a quick lunch break where you don’t want to spend more than $10. It’s a bright, quiet space where you can eat alone in relative peace." - ryan pfeffer
"This gleaming taqueria that seems like it might have come from California is really from Florida, and originally went by the name of El Primo Red Tacos, tendering only birria in many permutations. That tanked, and the lively interior has been repurposed to sell a still-limited menu of taco fillings that include al pastor, chicharron, carnitas, and grilled steak. Get the gringa — a pair of flour tortillas stuffed with al pastors, slathered with salsa Porky, and glued together with cheese." - Robert Sietsema
"Tacos El Porky in the East Village is the first NYC location of a Miami taqueria that our Florida colleagues describe as “basically a fast food taco spot—in the best possible way.” And they’re spot on. After you order your tacos from a kiosk, they’ll come out individually wrapped in mess-proof parchment paper cones, keeping the fillings in the soft corn tortillas in place. Carne and pollo asada can be a bit dry, so stick with the juicier al pastor served with a tangy red sauce. Order a bunch after going out in the East Village, or come here for a quick meal with a couple of $5 Tecates." - Will Hartman
