Best tacos in New York

No. 7 on that list
Worth it
  • Cost$5-6
  • From my guide, updated May 2026.

Multiple locations across Manhattan and Brooklyn. Tacos run $5-6 and the space is designed within an inch of its life. I’ll be honest, I was skeptical at first. Trendy taco spots are usually all vibes and no substance.

But Tacombi actually delivers. The crispy fish taco is excellent and the fresh juices are a nice touch. It’s the spot I go when I want tacos but also want to sit in a real chair at a real table like a real adult. Sometimes that matters.

Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.

Founded in 2006 on the sandy shores of Mexico, Tacombi is a popular taco chain NYC. Love it or hate it, there’s. With $5 Mexican Micheladas, $9 margaritas and sandia santas (the restaurants’s signature watermelon tequila drink), you won’t go thirsty.

I love the energy in here, especially on weekday mornings when it’s mostly locals grabbing their usual orders. If it’s your first time, I’d.
