Taqueria Lower East Side

About this restaurant

Taqueria Lower East Side is a small, hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant located in the heart of New York City. This little restaurant is easy to miss, but is an excellent place to stop in and try many of the classic Mexican dishes. Taqueria has a fun atmosphere, being lit up primarily by red and greens ring lights that have been woven throughout the restaurant. Taqueria's menu is primarily split by item type. Guests will find several variations on carnitas, tostadas, burritos, tacos, quesadillas and enchiladas. There are also several varieties of tortas, which are traditional Mexican sandwiches. There are three signature entrees of the house, a salt-cured flank steak with chilaquiles, Mexican steak and onions and a pork chop in a house blend green salsa.
