LOS TACOS No.1 is one of the best mexican restaurants in New York for group dinners, especially if you want a strong option in New York.
Los Tacos No. 1 is the Chelsea Market counter that has become New York's default answer whenever someone asks where to get a taco that actually tastes like a taco. The setup is deliberately spare — a standing-room operation, a tight menu, a griddle, and a self-serve salsa station — and that restraint is reportedly the whole point. No seats, no ceremony, just a line that is apparently constant and a kitchen that has committed to doing three or four things better than almost anyone else in the city at this price level.
