  • I'm sitting here eating the grilled corn salad with skate fish. It's awesome. Flavorful and satisfying. %0A by Johnjeenahn Thu 08/02/2012 12:00 AM NYC Joined Aug 2012 1 Posts 2 Restaurant Visits

FourSquare Tips

  • Time Out New York
    Try Pepe's al pastor taco at this small café, available Friday through Sunday only. It's one of NYC's 26 best tacos!
  • Jorge O.
    Worth the trip to Queens. Get the tamales while you're there, and bring back some tortillas so you can remember this place long after you've left.
  • Nora G.
    Definitely start off with the guacamole. The fish tacos are amazing. Check out the tortilla machine!
  • Matt P.
    This place is delicious. Be sure to get the fish tacos, all the tamales (but especially the chicken mole and Italian ones), and horchata.
  • Eater
    Try the chicken mole enchiladas, the fried skate tacos, or the never-dry tamales. Many Mexican food snobs say that this is the best taqueria in NYC. [Eater 38 Member]
  • Julie T.
    Try some tamales - apparently its the only place in NYC that makes fresh masa!
  • Village Voice
    Their Chili Releno with Tuna and Mole Tostadas (Crispy Tortillas with a chili sauce, chicken, and cheese) were featured dishes at Choice Eats!
  • John W.
    Nixtamal's tortillas made from fresh masa add dimension to all the dishes they touch. Humble chips & salsa become elevated to awesome, fish tacos have great flavor & texture, pozole is hearty & meaty.
  • Serious Eats
    A tortilla factory that makes masa from freshly Nixtamalized corn. Fresh tortillas, masa, and pozole available for takeout; good nachos and some decent tacos and tamales for dine-in.

    WOW I HAVE FOUND THE BEST FISH TACO SPOT IN ALL OF NYC. SEE YA!
