The version at this Noho newcomer adds steak to the formula, and man are these tacos juicy! Baja fish and carne asada tacos, as well as Yucatecan panuchos, also available. Named after a village in southern Puebla, this place started out as a deli, added some seating for an informal taqueria in front, and eventually annexed the next-door storefront, turning it into a full-blown restaurant where customers can wash down tacos with beer. Check out the rolled and deep-fried taco dorado, stuffed with chicken, beef, or cheese.

Opened just before the virus hit town, Taqueria Al Pastor seemed very new and modern among the historic bodega taquerias of Bushwick, from the super graphics on the walls, to the open theater of a kitchen. The al pastor remains one of the city’s lushest, particularly when deposited with pineapple on a volcan, a tortilla turned up at the edges and deep fried. This outpost of a New Jersey tortilleria slow-cooks its goat in huge pots, then heaps the tender meat onto fresh tortillas.
We’re really a floatingMezcal Bar!
Wherever you sit, you’ll have a great view of a TV that might be showing some football (not the American kind) or a Yanks/Sox game. Their tacos (listed as taquitos on the menu) are a great deal at $2 each, and all are really tasty, but we especially like the ones with tiny bits of grilled peppery steak. Casa Carmen is a fancy restaurant in Tribeca where you can go for a nice night out, and they also have some of the more fancy tacos on this list. At $16-$19 for two, they’re pricey, but quite large, and all of them come piled with so much filling that it’s challenging to close them. The ones with huge slabs of tender and juicy beef tongue are the best lengua tacos we’ve ever had, and we're also fans of the tacos with lamb barbacoa.

All Aboard La Barca Cantina, New York's Only Floating Mexican Restaurant.

According to operator New York Cruise Lines, La Barca Cantina is New York’s first and only floating Mexican restaurant. Also at Pier 81 is their sister restaurant, North River Lobster Company, the popular lobster shack also located on a boat. Once I was on the boat, the sailors’ enthusiasm was quickly justified—the boat itself is nicely outfitted for a river cruise, with ample seating both at standard tables as well as lounge-like couch areas. On that note, the cocktail menu by Craig Kanarick and Wesley Rincon, the beverage director for New York Cruise Lines, features agave-based spirits, such as mezcal, tequila, sotol and racilla, with a diverse bottle list and flights for sampling. Most cocktails can be served in large format to be shared among couples or groups.

Watching the carver at work makes the taco twice as tasty, and there’s an impressive array of toppings, running to dried red chiles, chiles in oil, pickled jalapenos, and an array of colorful salsas. The battered, Baja-fresh fish taco is the star of the menu at this Crayola-bright Mexican canteen. The tempura-fried crust shatters around flaky tilapia, with lime-infused crema adding richness and red cabbage echoing the batter’s crunch. Alex Stupak’s masa proves the hydrocolloid skills he honed at wd~50 and Alinea are still intact.
The boat includes an expansive outdoor top deck with a bar and table seating and a two-story interior space with two additional bars, table seating and booths. Artist Tlisza Jaurique has created vibrant, custom pieces throughout the floating restaurant. There’s a good chance you won’t actually be able to eat these tacos today, because Border Town is a pop-up, and pop-ups are elusive. If you can't possibly wait, Border Town’s tortillas are sold at Big Night, and Marlow & Daughters. They won’t quite measure up to the full experience, but anything you put in them instantly tastes good, even if you don't know how to scramble an egg.
But with La Barca Cantina—and sister ship North River Lobster Company—you’re not only presented with a sweeping panorama of the Manhattan skyline, but can also do so with the added benefit of ordering from a full menu of Mexican favorites. After paying the reasonable price of $10 per person to set sail, the menu ranges from $15–$26 for food and $9–$16 for drinks. When you get to Taqueria Ramirez in Greenpoint, you’ll see a choricera and comal (both custom made in Mexico City), colorful plates, and a long line. Get the suadero—which is stewed in lard and spices for three hours and served in a fat-soaked corn tortilla—or order our favorite taco, the tripa, which is blowtorched seconds before it arrives in your hands.

The best views are on the top level with a deck featuring a full bar and table service. Of course, regardless of which of the three levels you’re on, thanks to the abundance of large windows, you’ll be sure to catch a unique vista of New York City and its landmarks (including the Statue of Liberty on some cruises). Most tables on the two interior levels are set directly next to these windows with either the New Jersey or the Manhattan skyline viewable while dining.
The travels of Craig Kanarick, Chief Executive Officer of New York Cruise Lines (the company that owns the ships on Pier 81 and 83) throughout Mexico informed the drinks menu just as much as the food offerings. “Having spent the last three years learning everything I possibly can about agave-based spirits, including mezcal and tequila, it’s a thrill to cast a spotlight on a beverage category that is just as diverse and terroir-driven, yet not as well-known, as wine,” he said. Dina Leor is the visionary behind “La Sirena NYC,” a beloved Mexican folk art store that has been a cultural hub in New York City since its opening in November 1999.
From museum-quality pieces to traditional marketplace merchandise, La Sirena offers something for every taste and budget.What sets La Sirena apart is its unwavering commitment to authenticity and cultural preservation. Many of the items available are crafted by families who have preserved their art-making traditions for generations. This practice not only supports the livelihoods of these artisans but also helps sustain the continuation of their traditional crafts. Plaza Ortega in Bushwick is a vibrant, colorful explosion of a restaurant, which also has a bodega section in the front where you can buy basic groceries, as well as a separate area for paletas and ice cream. At Plaza Ortega, though, you can easily down a trio of two-bite birria tacos and a cup of consomme while leaving plenty of room to sample the rest of the menu.
Soft chunks of rich, pungent cow's-head meat are spread on a pair of griddled corn tortillas with salsa verde at this Sunset Park stalwart. The expansive outdoor top deck is, of course, the main draw, but there’s also a bi-level interior space with two additional bars and seating. Artist Tlisza Jaurique, the first woman of Mexican-American descent to exhibit at the Met, is creating a custom art piece for the restaurant. For starters, let’s address the fact that the city views from the water are a) Beautiful, b) Relatively hard to come by, and c) Infrequently come with club vibes and strong drinks.
His tortillas—made from nixtamalized Indiana corn (the grains are cooked in limewater and hulled) and pressed in-house daily—are thin and springy, with a delicate maize sweetness, and best filled with the spot’s spit-roasted namesake. La Esquina's sit-down café and takeout taqueria offers a number of dependable bites, but we particularly like its straightforward treatment of fish—a hunk of grilled market fish, speared with a skewer and brightened with shredded cabbage and salsa verde. Chef-owner Akhtar Nawab felt distinct similarities between the cuisines of Mexico and India, his parents’ native country. At Alta Calidad, he’s created a marriage of the two cuisines with exciting flavors and satisfying standout dishes. These crispy shrimp tempura tacos showcase just that, packing plump shrimp, crispy tempura and salsa negra into house-made shells. Whether you’re celebrating something, looking for some tacos with a view, or just nodding hello to a Tuesday evening, check out La Barca Cantina for an unexpectedly good time.

The mixed crowd spanned from couples on a date night or large groups celebrating occasions like a birthday, to families with children. As part of a couple myself, I was pleased to see several other duos who were seemingly equally interested in both trying a new Mexican eatery against a stunning backdrop. Bats are essential to the pollination of the maguey plant, from whence mezcal and tequila come. The Mexican long nose bat, the lesser long nose bat and the long tongue bat evolved with the maguey plant.
