Tacombi - Flatiron

I’m Mexican , I live in Mexico City, and I was visiting NYC , my boyfriend took me here because he loves Mexican food. I’m always incredulous about Mexican food recommended by North Americans or gringos but this time really impressed me because the taste is the same as A real Mexican taco. I cannot be surprised bcs The restaurant is running by Mexicans , the chefs are Mexicans , the environment is like a Mexican taqueria . I love it . Congratulations

Solid tacos. Great service. The baja and carnitas are my favorite, but they recently added birria which is also good. They also have quesadillas, breakfast tacos, and burritas. The green sauce on the table is also amazing, not spicy which is a great option for folks who just want a little extra zing on top. I love that they kept the paper option to order - quick and easy!

I was not supposed to come here, but I'm so happy I did. I was supposed to be eating at a fancy restaurant, but last minute change of plans brought me to Tacombi. I had the best tacos ever. I started off with the Corn Esquites and it was really tasty with a spicy sauce. I didn't know corn can taste so good. My waitress Genesis suggested I try the shrimp taco and the avocado tostada and I also took the slow-roasted pork taco. Luckily I listened to her as the shrimp one was the highlight. I walked out of there stuffed and happy. These were the best tacos I've ever had.

We ended up at this Mexican restaurant unexpectedly on our first night in NY. It was a great find. The food was flavourful and very quick to arrive. We got the classic guac and chips. While the guac came from the fridge (not freshly made when the order was placed), it still had good flavour. I do prefer it was freshly made. We also got the corn - also tasted good and was pre-made, kept in the fridge. I tried the sweet potato and black bean taco. It was pretty good but I do wish the taco was a bit more warmer. We also got the avocado tostado - which is very crispy. The speed our food arrived, I can see a lot of their dishes are made and they simply bring it to you. Not sure if that’s because we arrived one hour before closing or that’s the typical flow of their kitchen. They had many server staff and kitchen staff working so not sure. I was glad that the food tasted good so it worked out. Server staff were all very nice and checked in with us a few times.

Great spot to stop at for a cocktail and group gatherings. Their ambience is really open and airy. The staff was very friendly and personable even though I just stopped in for some to-go drinks. They put a fun spin on miniature juices and made them miniature margarita cocktails. So if you do not do anything else, spot pass and grab yourself a to-go drink or two.

Literally cannot say enough good things about this place WOW. Delicious birria and guac, highly recommend, and their pollo taco was probably my favorite out of the ones we tried, though the Al pastor was pretty good as well. The steak in the carne asada was a bit chewy, but overall good flavor. The music and atmosphere was super casual, fun, and bright, and all the waitstaff was very sweet and friendly! We went early in the day (5pm) and the food came out literally within minutes of us ordering, but from the comments this seems fairly standard for this place. Seems like it would be a lot of fun with a big group! I liked that you could just order single tacos which allowed us to try multiple ones without getting too full, but for the price I think I was just expecting something a bit more unique/quality? But I live somewhere with taco trucks on every corner, so take that with a grain of salt! All in all a great spot!

Enjoyed the food and drinks here a lot. Simple menu and everything was very tasty. Mezcal mule was great! Fish taco and the avocado tostada were my favorite. Easy to order one off tacos here so you have the opportunity to try different ones. The outdoor seating wasn't the most comfortable, but inside looked very nice.
