El Prieto is a great addition to the Chelsea food scene. The tacos and burritos taste super fresh and the salsa bar is a huge plus because you can customize everything to your spice level. Service was quick, prices are fair for NYC, and the overall vibe feels like a real West Coast taqueria. Definitely coming back.

The day I came was very packed, and there was only 1 cashier to attend a line of customers. Seemed pretty unfair considering it’s a small space. Carne asada tacos: was alright, it’s good but nothing spectacular. It just tasted pretty regular. I really like their topping bar and you can add whatever sauce. Horchata: was a little watered down but surprisingly sweet? It’s ok but I’ve had better. Wait time 10 minutes

This was hands down some of the best Mexican food I've had in nyc. Better than Los tacos no1. The salsas are incredible. The quesadilla was unreal. So good. Would go out of my way to come here in the future.

★★★★★ 5.0 katrina alegria · Oct 2025

Numero uno taqueria in the city! So, so good! Both food and staff are great. The asada tacos are so flavorful and packed with everything. And you can add anything from the salsa bar to your order. This is an authentic Mexican place in the city and where you should go to satisfy your cravings.

★★★★★ 5.0 Shirley Zheng · Dec 2025

This Mexican spot SLAPS!! From the first bite, I felt like I was transported to Mexico. This tastes so authentic! They had an open salsa bar where you can refill your own sauces, beans, and pickled veggies in aluminum takeaway boxes. I ordered the chicken burrito, I could probably eat two of them it was so delicious. Absolutely amazing.
