Taqueria Al Pastor

the hype was legit as these al pastor tacos will transport you to mexico -mexico city to be exact. the chicken and nopal held a close second and third but the al pastor were just right; tender and tasty. toppings way beyond expectations, spicy and tasty. horchata and jamaica were crowd favorites but they have ample supply of other beverages should one feel the urge for a glass bottle. EXtremely friendly staff -both at the register and in back pressing tortillas and chopping up the ingredients.

This place just opened up about 3 weeks ago, so you know I had to try it. My first order ever was the classic chicken burrito which was good and flavorful. I went back today to get a carne asada quesadillas which also did not disappoint. Being how this is East Harlem, the competition for Mexican food is fierce. If you throw a rock in this neighborhood you have a great chance of hitting either a bodega or Mexican restaurant. With that said, make sure you go there before the lines get long. I hope they get an option to make online orders soon.

Absolutely amazing! The food was so filling and fresh. Everything on the menu tastes great and the owners were so kind. They gave great advice on foods to try and got me well out my comfort zone. First place I seen with a variety of juices. Definitely my new favorite spot

This place has some of the the most Amazing food and customer service, I highly recommend you don’t walk but run to try their food, guaranteed fresh authentic flavors every time … all I can think about is coming back and trying everything!!

Best tacos in Manhattan and I say that confidently! 🌮 I am generally disappointed with Tacos in the city, but Taqueria El Pastore has restored my faith. The Al pastor and carne asada are cooked perfectly, high quality meats (no chewy meats) and the sabor is 👨‍🍳 💋

Wow. Some of the best tacos I’ve had in a while!! Can’t wait to go back!

I will recommend this place to anyone who will listen. The volcán was amazing! It’s a hard shell packed with lots of flavor and very very juicy. The horchata was so so good and fresh. Everything on the menu is worth the price. The place is very clean and appealing

Walked in and immediately greeted with a friendly warm smile and Latino music. Ordered two Al pastor tacos were delicious, perfect cooked tortilla, very well seasoned pork, signature sauce giving it a nice kick but not too over powering. All the flavors come together. Recommend 10/10. Once again the best thing is the friendly staff very welcoming. Thank you guys 8^)
