Taqueria 86 serves up authentic Mexican street tacos in a cozy, 1986 FIFA World Cup-themed space, perfect for casual hangouts and tasty treats.
"Long may you ponder why a taco storefront on West 94th Street is called Taqueria 86 (it commemorates the year the World Cup was held in Mexico). A full range of tacos is offered, to be washed down with beer in a comfortable, sports-bar setting, but the best tasted was filled with a shredded and chile-laden birria. The braised meat was totally up to par, and cheese and cilantro were generously applied, but the consomé seemed a bit thin and pallid, so you may want to skip the dipping part." - Robert Sietsema
"Named after the year that saw the World Cup in Mexico City, Taqueria 86 is a Mexican sports bar with exceedingly comfortable seating and not as many video screens as you might have feared. The 10 taco choices — two to an order, and geographically themed — are nicely turned out using Nixtamal tortillas. The tacos are supplemented with other obvious sports bar snacks, including corn on the cob, guac and chips, flautas, plus burritos, quesadillas, and tortas." - Robert Sietsema
"Taqueria 86 opened this week with a menu of tacos named for cities and states across Mexico." - Luke Fortney
