Los Tacos No. 1 - New York, NY

The restaurant competition is fierce in the Big Apple, and yet, if you're looking for some of the most authentic Mexican food on the east coast, you simply have to pay a visit to Los Tacos No. 1. On top of its three other locations, the original stand in Chelsea Market is still going strong, with that charming, no-frills Tijuana street stall vibe and a limited yet amply sufficient menu.

Get this: Adobada (marinated pork), steak, chicken or cactus tacos in housemade tortillas flavored with lard; they also do quesadillas and a stellar guacamole.
