What People Are Saying About Pinche Taqueria
Featured Review
Keith Wagstaff

This small Nolita spot takes one small step towards quelling complaints about New York's lack of good Mexican joints. The atmosphere is festive and rustic, with chili pepper lights, a brightly painted mural over exposed brick and two rows of wooden tables crammed into an incredibly narrow space. This taqueria just might be up to California standards, mainly due to the tacos: crispy carnitas, moist fish or juicy carne asada stuffed into a soft tortilla brimming with guacamole, onions, cilantro and spicy salsa.
Editor's Tips
- The Extras:
- Not enough meat for you? Add more to any item for $1.
- Know Before You Go:
- Luckily for hungry office workers in the area, Pinche Taqueria delivers from 14th Street to Canal Street and from 6th Avenue to 1st Avenue ($10 minimum).
- BYOB:
- Stop by Whole Foods on Bowery; it's only two blocks away and has a selection of around 200 different beers.

Great Take Out, Too Small to Eat In
by EstarGuars
I love coming here in the Summer. It's great to grab your food and then head out to a nearby park. The agua de orchata is great on a hot day and their fish tacos are really good. Also, I love tortas and this place gives you a nice big one, really hits the spot. Beware, if you're planning on eating there it gets crowded pretty fast. The space is small, but other than that it's great.
- Pros: inexpensive, tasty, tortas, aguas frescas
- Cons: small space

average mexican, better eats at nearby la esquina
by ccjigga
i ordered this as delivery figuring I'd try one of the newer neighborhood mexican joints. food arrived quickly, was fresh, and certainly quality made...however, the tacos and the buritos were definitely lacking in flavor. i was really hoping for a new go-to mexican place, but to me, la esquina is still hands down the winner. overall, a good staple mexican, but without any standout qualities and better eats a few blocks away.
- Pros: fresh quality ingredients
- Cons: lacking in flavor

BEST NYC AUTHENTIC TACOS
by jaghouse
As a HUGE fan of Mexican food I have never been more satisfied than when eating the tacos at Pinche. The carne asada and fish tacos are AWESOME!!! Nice juicy steak, ALL FRESH vegetables, soft corn-tortillas that are just right, and some really AMAZING salsa to top it off. The prices are totally budget-oriented and portions are perfect for a quick grab. Alternatively, if you sit down to eat, you'll be entering a fun atmosphere for this type of joint - I'm talking chili pepper lights, Mexican cactus lamps, and other sorts of vibrant yet really cozy pieces of decoration. To complement an already genuine meal, Jeff (the owner) will encourage you to try one of his authentically prepared Mexican beverages... the Horchata really stands out. In the end, I just had to take some pictures of this place before I left, to retain a piece of such a memorable dining experience. And thanks, Jeff, for some great stories about Mexico and the delicious food you guys serve.
- Pros: Fresh Ingredients, Pricing, Ambience, Authenticity, Location

Awesome!! super super awesome
by barb2
This place is great! The food tastes very fresh, it's so close to Cafe Habana but I have been going here instead. The best burritos around and the corn on the cob is great. It is also affordable. It's great when the weather is nice you can sit outside. They are quick enough so it's doable on a short lunch break. The music they play is really great but too loud and they need to turn it down, and then the guy doesn't have to shout the orders so loud!.
- Pros: Fresh, tasy, affordable
- Cons: music too loud
