Came here twice in 1 night.
We passed Taco Bar while looking for parking before our bar hopping adventure.
I was starving & hate to go drinking on an empty stomach & who doesn't love Mexican food?!
After B. Bar closes, it turns into an after hours lounge and you can sit & eat inside, they stamp your hand so you can leave & come back.
First time I got a chicken quesadilla and chicken enchiladas with green sauce.
Yummy in my tummy & it wasn't because I was starving either.
We had to stop on the way back home.
I got chicken tacos the second time around.
I woke up dreaming about tacos because of Taco Bar.
Three good reasons to go to Taco Box:
1) It's literally in the same building as B-Bar
2) It's open late
3) The food is relatively good
My only complaint is that they don't have the foresight to post a note on their window or menu explaining what they've run out of. They were out of like three different things, and every person who walked up to the window wanted at least one of them.
Anyway, we settled for the Al Pastor, Pollo, and Short Rib. The Al Pastor was my favorite, as it typically is. The chicken wasn't great. And the short rib was decent. For tacos, they're pretty pricey (check my photo of the menu), but for East Village late night food, it's acceptable. I think it was $22 for 6 tacos.
They also have a bunch of hot sauces on their counter to choose from, including Sriracha. So there's that.
Open till late delicious and fast tacos & nachos.
A bit expensive for street food, $4 for one taco, but they're open super late and have to deal with crowd of drunk people so I can't complain.
It looks like they attempted to rename themselves Taco Bar. I got confused for a sec when checking in.
It smells good and looks good, but even with tipsy munchies, I didn't like what I was eating. There were four in my group and we all ordered different things on the menu. Two of us knew we hated it right away and the other two had to think about it, but in the end leaned towards dislike.
Everything was bland and the seasonings were way off. Maybe I was wrong for expecting something Mexican-tasting or in the whelm of something familiar to Mexican tacos. There was a crowd out front and enthusiastic drunks shouting recommendations at us. "Highly recommended!" We went for it and decided we're not likely to go for it again. I'll take a dollar slice instead, thank you.
Me: "Is there a spoon in there with my chicken tortilla soup?"
Him: "Yes"
I return to my office to find a utensil pack with a fork and a knife. Thanks Taco Box for forcing me to think outside the box…
P.S. the carne asada taco is pretty dry, but the chorizo is not bad. The salsa is pretty good.
Great spot for a small quick bite…literally small quick bites. Tacos are even smaller than the authentic ones from Mexico and even though these tacos are gone within 2 bites they are worth it, just order 4 of them just in case so you won't leave hungry. Their guacamole is delicious even with no tomatoes and a little more lime than the usual guac. The outdoor sitting area is great for those late summer nights; I'm surprised at the amount of people that were here at 10pm when you have Hecho en Dumbo two doors down.
Really enjoyed taco box for breakfast. Much better than the authentic mexican breakfast we had a few blocks away in a hole in the wall. Wish Taco Box was open on the weekends as well. Fresh, tasty, lots of flavor, good salsa, GREAT corn tortillas. Yum.
Call it 3.5 stars eh… it's a good random find in the taco wars. I was leaving BBar in a rush to get back to Brooklyn before I turned into a pumpkin, and needed to grab a quick bite upon exiting. Looked left, looked right… what tacos?? You bet!
I had the chicken and the fish. They were solid on taste but my only complaint is that for the price ($3.50 for chicken, $4.50 for fish), they were a bit on the scant side. Still… good for a grab and go, and I'll probably end up doing the same thing again the next time I exit BBar.
