LOVED this cute little set up with a hole in the wall order with sweet little booths on the road for outdoor / covid-safe dining. I LOVED the two tacos I got, the mushroom and vegan chorizo — so tasty!! Absolutely would recommend both. The salsa was solid, the chips were good. Food came out so quickly and service was very friendly. Would absolutely come back again.
It's a GEM in this neighborhood! Bone marrow tacos are delicious!!! Around 2-3 tacos are really enough per person and they are decently affordable + a nice small menu. Also for a gluten-free option, they make corn tacos but you need to give them a heads up! If you want to have a full experience then they have a little secret bar.. hmm what's that vending machine for there.. and of course the best staff you could ask!
Got these to go restaurant doesn’t have indoor seating. Food was well packages and so tasty! I ordered 5 tacos because I was told they were small but they’re actually quite filling and I could only finish 2
Borrachito is around the corner from my apt and I stopped there for a quick bite before running errands. I had the short rib tacos and they were yummy. As you can see from the pics the tacos are quite simple....corn tortilla and short rib meat in it's stew sauce, that's it. 3 sauces to choose from are added on the side. The tacos were tasty, but not quite filling as a lunch...unless you ate at least 4-5 of them! But as a quick snack to hold you over they're perfect.
This is one of our favorite spots in the neighborhood! My boyfriend and I have brought both of our families here when they come to visit. The SHRIMP tacos are INCREDIBLE.
First time having tacos at Borrachito. I love their authentic flavor and their service was great . Definitely my favorite taqueria in the neighborhood. I tried their short rib and chicken tacos . Both were amazing, fresh and filling . I recommend you visit this neighborhood spot !
i missed the frozen horchata during my most recent visit but went back because the mushroom and short rib tacos are delicious -added bonus for giving the option of corn or flour. outdoor seating is spacious and offers festive vibes, and on the inside… who doesn’t love a secret??? not quite a speakeasy but certainly a neighborhood gem.
**Updated review** Since my original review below, I was contacted by Mackenzie who couldn't have been more helpful. I received a full refund and the offer of a future reservation being organised for me the next time I'm back in NYC! I really couldn't fault the customer service and hugely appreciate my issue being dealt with so swiftly. *Original review* **Be careful using card at this venue!** My card was overcharged by $50 on my visit - I was charged $82 dollars in total for one beer and two tacos. I have tried calling and emailing to address this issue directly but have never received a response in over two months hence this bad review.
The food is good but their Apple Pay system never works. Service is very fluctuent depending on who you get to order at the window. It’s hit or miss. Despite being a local and regular customer there has been many instances where the staff is not friendly at all. Won’t be coming again until this is addressed.
The taco bar inside the Garret East on Avenue A. They make their tortillas in-house and it’s on the thicker side which I like. The menu is small and not all the items are always available. They just started doing Tecate beer + popsicle float and now you can order your tacos with a fried egg on top for brunch
