Los Tacos No. 1

One of the best 5-minute meals in Times Square can be had here. You’ll walk up to a counter seemingly airlifted from a roadside in Tijuana, order either flour or corn handmade tortillas, and then watch as busy chefs fill them with chicken, cactus, pork, or beef, all of which is cooked right in front of you. Then you’ll grab a space at the tile counter (no seats) and gulp it down. Totally authentic, totally unpretentious.

This is an NYC chain with a number of outlets. See the website for other NYC locations.
