PrintWhere to Find Serious Tacos for Cinco de Mayo
Whether you're celebrating the Battle of Puebla (woo, fourth grade history) this weekend or on its actual Tuesday holiday, here's a quick list of some serious tacos all over the city:
- Goat belly Tacos at Cabrito in the West Village
- Pork bulgogi tacos at Seoul Station in the East Village
- Egg-and-potato breakfast tacos at Downtown Bakery in the Lower East Side
- Al pastor tacos at Taqueria Coatzingo in Queens
- The taco trucks in Sunset Park
- Fish tacos at Pinche Taqueria in Nolita
- Tinga tacos (a Pueblan recipe of shredded chicken in a smoky orange chipotle sauce) from La Superior in Williamsburg
- Or the tinga from Metropolitan taco cart, also in Williamsburg
- Lengua tacos (yes, this is tongue, but fear not—the experience is akin to expert-braised short ribs) at Taqueria El Gallo Azteca in Staten Island
- Another tongue option at Super Tacos on the Upper West Side
- Chicken tacos at Lupita Grocery in Astoria
- Chapulines tacos (and yes, these are grasshoppers, but the bugs are crunchy, nutty, and slightly salty) at El Globo in Queens

The papas con chorizo and carne enchilada tacos at Chavella's are INCREDIBLE.
