The corn husk meringue was to die for! Served on top of a vanilla ice cream it was delightful. Service was super fast. Food and dessert was out in under 5 minutes. I also had the duck carnitas taco. It definitely reminded me of the Cosme entree. Carlos the cashier was really nice and accommodating. Fast casual ambiance.
Packed on a Saturday but they were super efficient. You order at the screen. No seats inside. Tables are these metal barrels. Hand wash station at the end. Food was also delicious. I ordered a little of everything and it was satisfying. I would def come back.
Some of the better tacos in NYC. Definitely made Mexico City-style. Ordering is quick on a tablet and all the tables are standing tables which helps keep the place from overcrowding. The Todos Los Tacos sampler is a great way to try them all, but my personal favorite was the pork adobado. Also surprisingly enjoyed the mushroom one, and thought the ribeye one was the most plain of the bunch. Worth a stop for a quick bite!
After about 5 minutes, my friend and I's orders were ready. The Quesadilla had the meltiest cheese. It was thin and small, but it was just what I needed. The Ribeye Steak Taco had the juiciest beef I've had in a taco. It was simple but good. This spot was busy but wasn't too loud or crowded.
Solid taco spot that was much needed in this neighborhood. They offer a variety of tacos, a few alcoholic beverages, non-alcoholic Mexican drinks and a corn husk meringue sundae. When you walk in you place you order at a kiosk and then wait for your name/number to get called. You can grab and go our eat at their standing inside barrels. They also have a few tables outside with seating. My go tos are the oyster mushrooms taco (5.95) and duck carnitas taco (6.95). I tried the ribeye taco and agree with the other reviews that it's not it. The other tacos are well seasoned and the ribeye taco wasn't seasoned and was extremely underwhelming. If you're in the area and looking for a quick bite, I definitely recommend checking them out! The tacos are on the pricier side, but it's Williamsburg so I get it
Being from SoCal, I'm always looking for a great taco spot in the city that can remind me home. Esse Taco was definitely one of the better options, but still doesn't beat Los Tacos No 1. We tried the chicken, ribeye steak, and pork adobo tacos -- all were well portion sized and fairly fresh although the flavor of the chicken was on the bland side. Overall the tacos were decent but a bit overpriced for what they were. All that said, I'd definitely come back to Esse Taco if I was already in the area and hungry. However, I don't think I'll be going out of my way for it anytime soon.
I'm not a taco aficionado by any means, but I think this spot is a solid 4 and worth checking out if you're in the area and hungry. I think a lot of the more negative reviews were around the ribeye taco and it seems like they've made changes. I actually think these tacos are more flavorful than Los Tacos No. 1. Ambiance / Additional Details: very casual. I got my tacos to go. Literally no physical seats. There are barrels to eat around and in nice weather the windows fully retract, which is nice. You order at the front. There are a few different sauces you can grab for free with varying spice levels. Food: as expected, the tacos are quite small. I got 3 plus chips & gauc and it was a good amount of food. I ordered the: Chicken, Ribeye Steak, & Pork. I actually enjoyed all 3, but felt the pork was the most flavorful and had the most tender meat. I also did the flour tortilla option for the pork and preferred this over corn (softer texture). I also got the Guacamole & Totopos (chips). Guac needed a little salt, but overall it was good.
