Whether you’re a local or just passing through, these three spots are guaranteed to satisfy every craving, spice up your Tuesday, and introduce you to flavors you won’t soon forget.
1. Plaza Ortega (@plazaortegany)
If you’re looking for a laid-back, taco-loving hangout with friends, Plaza Ortega is the place to be — especially on Tuesdays. With its fun decor, friendly vibe, and unbeatable $3 tacos (Tuesday only), it’s a no-brainer for a midweek pick-me-up. Our top pick? Their Al Pastor tacos, featuring juicy, flavorful pork and a balance of sweet, tangy notes that’ll keep you coming back for more.
2. Regalo De Juquila (@regalodejuquila)
Talk about an “if you know, you know” gem. This deli-turned-taco hotspot proves that great flavor can come from the most unexpected places. Open late and brimming with authentic Mexican dishes, Regalo De Juquila’s menu includes must-try Al Pastor tacos, hearty empanadas, and a birria quesadilla that’s practically legendary. Don’t be surprised if this becomes your new late-night go-to. (Kitchen is ope til 4am)
3. Nene’s Taqueria (@nenestaqueria)
With four locations (and counting), Nene’s Taqueria has quickly won over the hearts of taco lovers throughout NYC. Their family recipe birria is the stuff of dreams, slow-cooked until perfectly tender and bursting with rich, savory flavor. But here’s the kicker: on Tuesdays, Nene’s serves $2 tacos all day, so you can feast without breaking the bank. If you’re into discovering what all the birria buzz is about, make sure this spot is high on your list.
