Los Tacos No. 1 (Chelsea Market)
Los Tacos No. 1
A taco stand that started in Chelsea Market in 2013, whose spit-roasted pork tacos are a budget-friendly meal loved by both tourists and office workers.
Opening its first location in Chelsea Market in 2013, this has now become a small local chain in New York; the location listed here is the founding shop inside the market's main concourse. The signature is the adobada taco, made with pork marinated in red chilies and vinegar shaved straight from the spit, which is also highly recommended by New York's official tourism website. You can also add quesadillas, chips with guacamole, and hibiscus water. There is standing room only; queues are long during lunch and dinner but move quickly. A single taco is about USD 5; three make a light meal, and four or five make a full dinner. Within walking distance from the 14 St subway station, perfect for visiting alongside the High Line.
Opening hours
Daily 11:00–22:00 (some platforms show Sundays until 21:00)
