Taqueria al Pastor

I’ve been to Taqueria El Pastor a few times now, both ordering in person and through Uber Eats, and I’ve always had a good experience. The atmosphere is really nice — friendly, calm, and not overly crowded, which I appreciate. It’s a comfortable place to stop by and actually enjoy being there. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, and the staff are genuinely kind. The girl who works the front register is especially sweet, fun, and friendly — I actually met her last year and ended up making a friend there, which says a lot about the kind of environment this place has. Food is consistently good, service is pleasant, and overall it’s just an easy, feel-good spot to go to. Definitely a neighborhood place I enjoy and recommend.

I really loved the atmosphere here. As soon as I walked in here i was greeted so kindly by the workers . The food was so flavorful and great. I tried the volcano for the first time and I will definitely be ordering it again. Everyone their has such a kind vibe. Victor was so nice to me and gave me a great costumer service! I will be back🥹✌️

I stopped in just for the tacos — and that’s all you really need to know. The al pastor taco is the star of the show: perfectly seasoned pork shaved right off the trompo, topped with pineapple, fresh onions, and cilantro, all wrapped in a handmade nixtamal tortilla that holds everything together like it was meant to. It’s not the cheapest taco in NYC (around $5.75 each), but the quality backs up the price. The meat was juicy, not greasy, and the sweetness from the pineapple balanced the richness of the pork. Flavor-wise, it’s easily a 9 out of 10. Didn’t try the burritos or other menu items, but the taco game here is strong. If you’re into real-deal tacos that remind you of a Mexico City street cart, this is worth the trip. Would definitely go back — especially to try a few more while they’re hot off the trompo.

I love this place! The servers are so helpful and friendly. The place is clean, cute, and a lot of fun. Here, I have tried the birria tacos, vegetarian tacos, and their tacos al pastor. And I have also tried their volcán with carne asada. Everything is so tasty, divine, and fresh. They make their own tortillas, and they are so good! The tamarind juice and hibiscus water are delicious. I have come here many times, and I always leave satisfied and with a smile. Thank you!

We wanted to try this place for the longest. The wait was worth it!! The food was actually really good. They took a little while because they were busy. The quesadilla was incredible the salsas were not spicy; that would be my only complaint. Besides that, great!!! Everyone was friendly and food was incredible!!

Pretty good tacos. The pollo asado and carne asada were my favorites. I liked them more than the pastor burrito. Fantastic horchata too!

The other day I had El Volcán and it was delicious!
