El Rey Tacos - Times Square, Manhattan, NYC

One steak taco, one lamb barbacoa taco, one Panucho Yucateco taco

Fast casual taco spot from the same team behind Casa Carmen in NYC. They clearly lifted a lot of visual cues from Los Tacos’ setup, but the tacos here are actually a bit better than what you get at Los Tacos in my opinion. They make all their tortillas in-house, and their salsas are incredible.

Their steak taco is S tier. One of the best I’ve ever had. Same with the Panucho Yucateco. They don’t have al pastor, so you can still get that at Los Tacos (which I think is still fantastic btw).
