Los Tacos No.1

It’s official! Food markets are taking over New York City anddd I’m not complaining about it. Gotham West Market, Chelsea Market, and the new Hudson Eats; food markets are sprouting up everywhere and giving fast casual restaurants more venues and more opportunities to shine. Recently, I stumbled upon Los Tacos No.1 located in Chelsea Market and I couldn’t be happier with my discovery. With an ambiance that resembles Tacombi in NoLiTa and tacos that remind me of Otto’s Tacos in the East Village, I knew Los Tacos No.1 would be nobread approved before I even had my first bite! …
At Los Tacos ordering is simple. You can choose from one of three gluten free meats (skirt steak, chicken, or pork) if you’re a carnivore, or you can choose cactus if you prefer nomeat. The flour tortillas are NOT gluten free, but the corn tortillas are 100% GF! You will then be asked which toppings you would like added to your taco. Toppings include salsa, guacamole, onion, and cilantro, and all toppings are gluten free! Viola; your taco is served. To add variety to their menu, Los Tacos offers your creation as a taco, tostada, or mula (quesadilla that uses a corn tortilla). I ordered the chicken taco with ALL toppings on a corn tortilla shell, and a side order of the chips and guacamole, and I loved it! The guacamole is amazing, but there IS dairy in the guac, so if you are sensitive or allergic to dairy I would stick with salsa. Also, the chips are fried so if you are sensitive to cross contamination I would skip the chips, too. Lastly, the nopal plate is NOT gluten free due to the beans.
