On Thursday, January 11th, Tacombi opened its fifth and largest taqueria in the iconic Empire State Building, brining warm Mexican hospitality and authentic taco culture to Midtown Manhattan.
I had attended the opening party the night before it opened to the public, where guests sampled Al Pastor, Barbacoa and Black Bean y Sweet Potato tacos, mini bites of Tuna Tostada, Esquites, and chips and guacamole. Guests enjoyed margaritas and Modelo beers.
Tacombi Empire State Building is inspired by the grand, disappearing art-deco taquerias unique to Mexico City, with an on-site Vista Hermosa tortilleria, open kitchen and wide bar with a selection of Tequilas, Mezcales, Cocteles y Ice-Cold Cerveza.
Tacombi had become one of my go-to taco hotspots when I came back from vacation in Sayulita four years ago, craving authentic tacos (Baja Fish Tacos and Tuna Tostadas are my favorites). I had stumbled upon Tacombi's first location in Nolita and have been hooked ever since. Other Tacombi locations include Flatiron, Bleecker Street and Montauk.
