Because There’s Never a Bad Time For Tacos — Here Are 5 Trending Taco Spots in NYC
Tacos are many things. They are first and foremost one of the greatest culinary inventions of our time. But despite their guacamole-infused glory, what they are not is neat and tidy. But fear not, New York City, because with Postmates on your side, you don’t have to worry about salsa dripping down your arm or carnitas falling in your lap.
On-demand delivery means we can bring the city’s best Mexican food to your door whenever the hunger hits. To help get you inspired, we’re serving up five of the best, trending taco spots in NYC. Your next taco (or two, or twelve) awaits:
Los Tacos №1
They don’t call ’em №1 for nothing. You’d be hard-pressed to find someone serving up a better adobada taco (marinated pork with pineapple, known to some as “al pastor”). Then again, if you’re of the vegetarian persuasion, the grilled nopal (cactus) should be right up your alley.
Otto’s Tacos
They’ve got a shrimp taco here that’d make Bubba Gump blush: a perfectly seasoned roundhouse kick to the tastebuds that’ll leave you wanting more. Level up your order with extra guac, plus grab a side of masa fries, which are straight up addictive. Trust us.
La Esquina
This place is nothing less than an institution in NYC, and we suspect it has a lot to do with the no-frills, highly satisfying taco selection. You can’t go wrong with any of the meaty staples like pollo (chicken) or bistec (steak). Just don’t forget to balance it all out with a side of authentic elote (Mexican street corn) — you’ll thank us later.
Goa Taco
Not everybody comes through on fusion food, but Goa Taco knocks it out of the park: a combination of Mexican and Indian, the end result is incendiary. (Read: It’s lit.) They use paratha (Indian flatbread) in place of a tortilla to give your taco an Eastern twist. All of the fillings are set to impress, but you can’t go wrong with the chicken chorizo. If you’re going meatless, the tofu banh mi is next-level. Just be sure to save room for a chocolate hazelnut mascarpone paratha churro — a mouthwatering mouthful to say and eat.
Rosie’s
It can be tough to find a fish taco made right, but if anyone proves it can be done, it’s Rosie’s. The pescado taco offers the perfect balance of spicy crema and crispy fish nestled in a corn tortilla. At just $4 a pop, the value is almost too good to be true. With a side of the guac, you’re all set for a foodie fiesta!
Not feeling tacos today? No big—we’ve got plenty of Chinese delivery spots, Italian delivery spots, fast food delivery spots, and beyond, all on Postmates.
