One of my favorite lunch places. The short ribs tacos are delicious! I always get to sushi and you can't go wrong. The chips and guac are probably my favorite sides. I try to come here at least week. The food is fresh and the teas are my favorite. Always natural and fresh.The service is always quick and I enjoy the Latin music.
A very satisfying option for those of us in West Chelsea.
The menu is innovative, and the flavors are great. I highly recommend the yellowtail taco.
Prices are a little high, but given its location, this food truck can maintain these prices without losing much business. I only wish the portions were a little bit bigger.
Some foods go together like PB&J…. After trying Takumi Taco, I'm not sure if Japanese and Mexican food go together that well.
Got a bento box with two tacos (spicy tuna and sapporo braised short rib) and a side of chips & salsa. The tacos were small but pretty tasty – the spicy tuna was definitely more unique and satisfying than the short rib taco. The spicy tuna taco came in a hard shell, and was basically spicy tuna poke in a small hard shell taco. Small, but it was yummy! The braised short rib taco was just alright, nothing too special there.The salad that came with the bento was pretty small, but the side of chips and salsa was very generous.
Overall, I thought the food was alright but the two different cuisines don't complement each other as well as, say, Mexican and Korean food. Japanese food is often subtle in flavor, which is often completely the opposite of the flavorful Mexican cuisine (which is why everyone loves Kalbi tacos, yummmm). Analysis aside, Takumi Taco is worth a try for what it is.

I would say the price a bit high for this much portion of food. Big flavorful lunch during workdays is what I live for, so I a little disappointed.
