Finding The Best Tacos In NYC | Todos Los Tacos


Francisco Gómez debunks the myth that there are no good tacos in NYC through a citywide 'taco tour' while discovering how food creates vibrant communities. 

He starts at La Morada in the South Bronx, trying their mushroom tacos with an Oaxacan touch and local ingredients. 

Next, he visits Birria-Landia, one of the first taco trucks to bring Tijuana-style birria tacos to the city (slow-cooked beef marinated in a secret adobo blend). 

Finally, in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, Taquería Ramírez's party atmosphere complements their traditional tacos inspired by the street flavors of Mexico City, such as Pastor and Tripa. Francisco not only enjoys diverse and incredible tacos but also immerses himself in the cherished taqueria communities. This taco tour is presented in partnership with Camarena - The Most Awarded Tequila.
