Tacos now compete with slices of pizza as the culinary mainstays of New York City. Like your tacos rolled and fried? Or tiny? With beans and cheese? A dab of guacamole? Freighted with organ meats? Filled with rice, chiles relleno, and boiled eggs? Or wrapped
in a flour tortilla like shawarma? This city has them all, and more. Here are the most essential tacos around New York City. And for other excellent Mexican standouts, check out Eater NY’s guide to the best Mexican restaurants in the city.
