replying to u/Sea_Pangolin1525: There are now a few good places in Manhattan: Carnitas Ramirez, Tacos 1986, Santo Taco. I wouldn't say any are better than Los Tacos. Each does their own thing. Los Tacos was an important step up at a time when there really weren't good taco places in the city. I lived in East Harlem in the 00s, the most mexican neighborhood in the city, and the places were not great. Since los tacos raised the bar other places are competing, also in brooklyn like El Chato, Tacos Ramirez, Tacos Guey, and Al Pastor in Bushwick. It's great that we have a selection now. If people think all these places are too expensive, that's different than saying they are bad. Of course food in NY is too expensive. What else is new?
“I think Santo is more overrated than Los Tacos.”

replying to u/justflipping: For your last meal, I would get something that’s hard to get back home. For example, if it’s hard to get tacos, I would do Carnitas Ramirez. Tsukemen? Then Tabetomo. Also, you’ve had mostly typically hyped places. You can consider something more off the beaten path.
“Loved those tacos.”
