Hear us out—while nachos aren’t widely known as authentic Mexican food, they did originate in Mexico and the ones Carlitos makes are too good not to feature. Using corn chips as a base, these loaded nachos are piled with guacamole, pico de gallo, pickled onions, grilled jalapeños, black beans, menonita cheese, and, of course, spicy pulled pork.
Chinelos Tacos NYC
Chinelos is the destination for you if you enjoy inventive tacos. Chinelos will quench your hunger for tacos with everything from their traditional beef Birria tacos and Birria Torta to their chorizo nachos and street-style steak tacos.
Take a bit out of this: The Birria Torta
Chinelos offers authentic Birria style tacos as you've likely seen around NYC before, but it is clear that a lot of work and care went into making each dish. The attention to detail in these tacos will wow your event attendees to no end, especially because they come with a variety of various sauce and salsa options to go with their pre-dipped Birria tortillas.
El Toro Rojo
If you’re looking for classic Mexican cuisine, with ingredients flown in straight from Central America, El Toro Rojo offers consistent quality. Select your protein from birria de res, al pastor, grilled chicken, or veggie, and pack it into a taco, burrito, or bowl. Grab chips and guacamole and a Mexican soda to complete your meal.
Take a bit out of this: Al Pastor Burrito
A mouthwatering combination of al pastor meat, Mexican rice, pinto beans, lettuce, oaxaca cheese, crema, guacamole, salsa, and pico de gallo, the Al Pastor Burrito is a powerhouse meal packed with seasoning. Served with chips and salsa or guacamole, or rice and beans for those who like a little extra bulk.
Los Viajeros
On the menu at this Latin fusion food truck, the question is simple: should I eat a taco or burrito? Your options include fish, chicken, veggie, shrimp, or ropa vieja, and there’s a burrito equivalent for every taco, each with a chipotle aioli drizzle in common. The shrimp tacos are doused in a guava chipotle glaze and a pineapple salsa that’s absolutely succulent. Find Los Viajeros around the 5 boroughs by visiting their instagram page, or book online through NYFTA!
Take a bit out of this: La Flaca Burrito
Carnivores won’t believe their taste buds when they bite into a La Flaca Burrito for the first time—that irresistible blend of peppers, onions, sweet plantains, and jack and cotija cheese, drizzled with chipotle aioli on top of brown rice, is almost too good to be meatless.
