So this is for the pop up shop in industry city over in brooklyn. It looks like the prices are (much) lower here, but across the bridge be prepared to drop $5 for one taco if you want lettuce and tomato on it. I really wish I was exaggerating. And perhaps I wouldn't be prompted to write this review but for the fact that this was probably the single saddest taco I've had in my entire life. Small, not seasoned, mealy/weird/overall bad tortillas. And come on. 50 cents to add lettuce to a taco that couldn't have been more than 6in in diameter? Won't be back. Also, $5 for guac- which they were out of at lunchtime. (But if you're in industry city, there are plenty of other vendors with much better food.)
this review is based off of take out/delivery experiences. The food tastes so fresh and has always been well presented no matter what. Kudos to them! I have had the tacos and burritos which were both equally delicious. I will however try a new sauce, I went for the chipotle which was a little too spicy for me so the avocado sauce is on my agenda for the next time. I work on the West Side and although Taco Mix is located on the East, they still deliver and the food is well worth the wait. Kudos to Taco Mix!
Excellent tacos here. Fast, friendly and the tacos are big. We tried chicken, beef and pork. All were tasty. Look forward to trying a burrito next time.
Heat Advisory! Growing up in California, I was taught the proper way to order a taco is always to say "with everything, and spicy" well, tonight I accidentally uttered this when I ordered two Huaraches (cecina for me, chorizo for my roommate), and holy hell, I will be regretting it for the next 24 hours! In the best possible way, of course, but still. Too much of a good thing was pretty damn amazing before it became painful, and it was my own damn fault for making myself eat the whole thing, but whatever. Next time I won't add either salsa verde nor salsa roja, both of which I added way too much tonight, I'll just stick with the tomatillo avocado, because they make it spicy already, my fault for doubting perfection.
Their meats are excellent, portions are huge, and because there is such high turnover, everything is always incredibly fresh and cooked to order, served within seconds! I've been a few times now, usually during the day when it's sort of low on atmosphere, but tonight it was overwhelmingly charming with its gigantic diversity of employees and clientele and a soundtrack that was completely confounding yet endearing. I've never heard I WANNA KNOW WHAT LOVE IS played so loudly before, and never expected to hear it eating extremely Mexican food in Spanish Harlem. Hmm. Oh, and I love that they serve slices of cucumber as well as the typical radishes and limes.
authentic Mexican tacos
Born and raised in Mexico I could not ask for a more authentic place. My stomach and my heart are pleased with joy and happiness.
This tacos place is a small local located in 116th St between 2nd and 3rd avenue. It offers assortment of tacos, huaraches, tostadas, quesadillas, burritos, tortas, Jarritos, Sidral, Mexican Coke, and more.
Flavors are extraordinary and avocado salsa seems to be made by my grandmother. Is simply amazing.
There's an option for everyone: spicy, non spicy, pork, meat, exotic meat cuts, chicken, vegetarians.
Vegetarians: please try huitlacoche and flor de calabaza quesadilla.
Meat lovers: Al pastor tacos are a winner.
Sitting place is very limited, most likely you will eat standing up. Take out is highly recommended. They have catering and delivery option as well.
And after eating all the deliciousness, do not forget to stop by the store next door where you can find corn tortillas, Mexican Popsicles, Mexican pastries and much more.
Good in a pinch for mexican delivery. There are no surprises or delights. Small half ounce containers of green and red salsa accompany sandwiches. Tacos al pastor are delicious but often cold or unloved. I usually put them in a pan when I get them to crisp the bottom and they end up being pretty great. The tort as are rich and flavorful and sometimes too bread-ey and other times too soggy. The best it gets is the bread absorbs the liquid from the meat and then you grill it on a plancha in your own home. A lot a work for food that is cooked by someone else if you ask me. It won't change your life, but, at least it is prompt, affordable and tasty. It's like its names suggest – Taco Mix.
As a recent transplant from American southwest, I am constantly on the lookout for good Mexican food. Something that is cheap and authentic. None of that Americanized sombrero-decorated restaurants stuff. So far Seamless and a trip to a restaurant my friend swore was "awesome" have been a huge letdown.
That is, until I found this gem while galloping around East Harlem.
Walking in on a chilly Sunday night, I was greeted by a familiar smell of fresh ingredient and sight of low prices. This is what I remember fondly from my dining days in Phoenix. And you know a place is good when all of the diners are ordering in Spanish. When the person taking your order is bilingual, and you get a feeling this might even be a family business (not verified).
I ordered two tacos ($3.5 each) – one chicken and another beef. The double tortillas held the meat and shredded lettuce which was of course topped with their hottest condiments. I stood by the wall devouring the deliciousness and saving the restaurant to my "must-return" list. Next time, I'll go for a burrito.
