Tacos El Porky in the East Village is the first NYC location of a Miami taqueria that our Florida colleagues describe as “basically a fast food taco spot—in the best possible way.” And they’re spot on. After you order your tacos from a kiosk, they’ll come out individually wrapped in mess-proof parchment paper cones, keeping the fillings in the soft corn tortillas in place. Carne and pollo asada can be a bit dry, so stick with the juicier al pastor served with a tangy red sauce. Order a bunch after going out in the East Village, or come here for a quick meal with a couple of $5 Tecates.
