The Wall Street Journal: Try the black truffle quesadilla or lobster tacos. The trio of guacamole, which includes a hot chipotle version and one with mango, apples and and pomegranate topping, is also a good bet. Read more.
Alyssa Henry Gonzalez: Guac was the booooomb! But seriously, order the trio, it's so delicious. Quesadillas are also a must.
Amanda Schneider: Frutas guacamole is amazing! Also love the mushroom and black truffle quesadilla.

Oskar von Hauske: Quesadilla instead of burritos, and definitely try the crunchy tacos they're great, to drink get a Tamarind Jarritos, real mexican soda
Dianna H.: The carnitas quesadilla with guac, sour cream & the mildly spicy sauce was DELICIOUS! I can't wait to go back :)
Village Voice: The menu is simple and straightforward: burritos, tacos and quesadillas stuffed with either carnitas, grilled chicken, steak or rice and beans, plus a healthy serving of cheese, salsa and sour cream. Read more.

Lorraine S: Love love love this place. Great atmosphere, service & food. Margaritas are crazy good! Try the ceviche Acapulco (best ever!), quesadillas, octopus tostadas, the ribs and the plantain chips!!!!
Rachel Foster: Tacos are super delicious, but husband ordered the chorizo quesadilla and I will be dreaming about that flavor for the rest of my life!
Sonal U: Vegetarians should get the vegan tacos (off the menu), yuka tostadas, grilled corn, and grilled string beans. The queso fundido and quesadilla are also really good.

Monica Juniel Byers: Have the chicken quesadilla - tasty!
Russell Hirschorn: All the tacos are great, short rib quesadilla very good, sopa good, 3 salsas, service and seating not good. Intercom didnt work so they did nothing... very slow. Horchata not good.
Leigh Ann: Oh man, I own a business around the corner from el luchador and I am obsessed. The grilled Mexican corn, their quesadillas, sitting in an RV with lively music. Such a unique spot in NYC. I love it.
Jess Naldo: Love Tacombi Nolita but heard iffy things. Honestly & surprisingly loved my Al Pastor & Crispy Fish tacos + the deliciously cheesy corn quesadilla. Cute spot and great for a quickie -- meal that is ;)
Oz Lubling: My favorite taco place in the city. These tacos are incredibly delicious. Try the crispy fish,quesadilla with corn and the black bean and sweet potato.
Ernesto Gutierrez: Grab a monopolio negra beer and enjoy tacos al pastor, Berkshire pork carnitas, Acapulco shrimp and the gringa quesadilla. You just can’t go wrong here.
