2. Korilla BBQ (various NYC locations)

Even though these tacos aren't of the traditional Mexican ingredients, it honestly doesn't matter. 

With an amalgamation of tastes: spicy, sour, salty, sweet, and tangy, and all-natural, healthy, GMO-free ingredients, these mobile food trucks and its stationary East Village location (3rd Avenue and Saint Mark's Place) are definitely the bomb for taco non-traditionalists. 

Korilla BBQ's trucks are manned by friendly, cool taco lovers, and they definitely serve the best Korean-inspired flavored tacos in all of NYC.

3. Tortilleria Nixtamal (104-05 47th Avenue - Queens)

Fernando Ruiz and Shauna Page, Tortilleria Nixtamal's owners, are rocking the NYC taco game one tortilla at a time.

They use a process central to the cultures of Mesoamerica, cooking and soaking white dent corn in a calcium-hydroxide solution, to make nixtamal.

Then, they pack their tacos with fish, carnitas, chorizo or lamb.

Topped with cilantro, onion, avocado salsa, or even pineapple, the tacos here are fresh and delightful.

If you're from Mexico and missing home, or you just want authentic Mexican tacos, you absolutely need to pay a visit to Tortillera Nixtamal and eat your fill.

4. Toloache (various NYC locations)

Another non-traditional choice, but just trust us on this one. 

Do you want lobster tacos, shrimp tacos, or even suckling pig carnitas? How about grasshopper and pork belly tacos? Why wouldn't you want to eat crispy bugs wrapped in a corn tortilla?

If these aren't enough variety of delicious tacos for you, then try the brisket tacos. They're out of this world.

If you're interested in innovative, creative tacos that will blow your mind, Toloache should be where you buy and scarf down your next taco. Or, we mean your next three tacos. Because only crazy people just eat one taco.

But seriously, with ten taco options, Toloache has got to have the largest assortment of tacos in NYC. And they're all amazing.

7. La Cabana (2277 1st Avenue)

This East Harlem taco joint is rooted in the taco culture of Mexico and the Dominican Republic, so once again, La Cabana offers authentic Mexican tacos galore.

Their tacos are served with two tortillas, so the dripping and falling apart that typifies taco eating is avoided here. Their top offerings are their carnitas and carne enchilada, which is pork served with red sauce.

You don't even have to pay extra for guacamole, as every taco comes with a fresh slice of avocado.

But if you don't speak Spanish, you might want to brush up on how to order a taco in Spanish before your visit La Cabana. Or just bring a friend who speaks Spanish.
