Taqueria San Pedro

During my search for more authentic Mexican food, we found this place. The inside is really small, with just few tables. But, I also heard that they have recently done some renovation, and expanded the space a bit. And there it was, to the left side of the cashier counter, a new space with interesting wall murals which was still work in progress.
The menu had ample amount of offerings, but we didn’t really know what to order. That happens when you are not super familiar with authentic food items… I wish if they had more pictures on the menu, so that we know what they look like, and make it easier to order. While we looked over the menu, they brought us some chips and very small amount of salsa. They were ok, nothing special.
We had some fruity milkshakes which were pretty good. Then ordered three tacos each, which were very reasonably priced and they were tasty. While the tacos and milkshakes were good, the service was not so much. We didn’t even get a glass of water, but maybe we had to ask for it. I don’t think they came to ask if everything was ok, not even once, but this is not that kind of restaurant here, it seemed. It is more of a quick bite or to-​go order kind of place. But, that also makes you feel not very welcomed. I always appreciate warm service at a restaurant or any eatery place. I don’t think I will go back, but it was a good to experience an authentic joint. Read my full review of this restaurant and food on my food blog, foodlovergirl.

I’d give them a 4 star except for the fact that they charged me for 4 tacos (I had ordered 4), but when I opened the package once I got home, there was only three. Plus, they skimped on sauces, and their portion of beans and rice for their fajitas was incredibly small considering how much fajita there was. Flavors of the meats were great, and the tortilla was hot and soft, but I was very disappointed by the service.

Comida pesima que ni savor tiene y el servicio ni se diga
Pedi un molcajete que el bistwc esta demasiado cosido y el pollo tambien

The tacos are ridiculously fresh and the burrito is HUGE! Don’t let the aesthetics fool you, it’s so delicious

Prices are affordable and the tacos were delicious. The service was prompt and friendly. I orders guacamole and chips but did not like the guacamole it was very spicy and bland.

Fresh & delicious! I love that the tacos already come with complementary guac on top, instead of charging you extra. Never had a bad experience, would definitely recommend to whoever wants authentic tacos!

Check this place out if you’re craving a good burrito or tacos. Fair pricing and fast service.

I’ve not reviewed what has become one of my favorite places in a while. Food is fresh, made to order and served with a smile. Everything I’ve tried is very tasty. Recently I tied breakfast and it was equally fresh and excellent. Ice cold cerveza. The perfect combo to a taco. Also — The seating area has expanded.

When San Pedro stopped answering our calls, my boyfriend and I were devastated. Could one of our favorite taquerias of all time have closed its doors? Thankfully, no! The taqueria was just remodeling and has since opened a new section. The food is just as delicious as it ever was. Burritos are delicious and the tacos are A+. Not to be missed!

Not closed (relax), just did remodeling and expanded into the space next door. More seating now. Food is still great. I love all the tacos. Good breakfast too. Food is homemade and fast. What else could you ask for?

Fast delivery. Authentic and tasty tacos. Very affordable (almost seems too cheap). And a complete hole-​in-​the wall. What could make a taqueria better?

Okay, I’m obsessed with this place. 2 soft tacos (1 chicken, 1 pork) with all of the toppings came out to $ 7 and I was beyond full. Fresh and flavorful ingredients and there are lots of tables to eat in! My friend loved her burrito. I’ve gotten tacos to go, too. I’m moving in here.
Update ⁵⁄₂₀₁₆: the renovation looks great! Tons more space.

Unfortunately my experience with this place was terrible. Because of the reviews I decided to give it a try and placed an order for delivery. I live 9 mins away and waited an hour and a half for a burrito!!!
After calling multiple times to follow up on my order they began ignoring my calls. The food arrived very cold and mediocre to say the least. I will never order from here again and would not recommend it. Save your time any money!

Sopes sopes OMG! Love this place and they have squirt wich is my favorite soda next time I’ll try the tacos

Unfortunately, I live just outside the delivery range of San Pedro, and I have no great desire to hang out in the place. But the people are nice and it’s real, good Mexican food. Delicious tacos!
They even have cold bottles of Squirt, which I haven’t seen since I was a kid in California.
Would be worth it at twice the price — as it is, this is one of the great bargains of New York.

Great. Food. But. Months. Like. The prices change. All the time. I am a regular there but looking to move on to a different place. I like a place where the management smile great you and treat you with respect some of the employee there like to make there own prices or have attitudes and give you small portions and charge you extremely

This place is literally a hole-​in-​the-​wall. I have walked past it at least a hundred times and finally decided to give it a try. I ordered two Enchilada Tacos and two Chorizo Tacos. Each taco came dressed with fresh cilantro, onions and guacamole. My order was take out and served with lime, radish, as well as green and red hot sauce. The tacos were 100 percent authentic Mexican and delicious. I highly recommend!

This a great place to grab tacos if you’re in the area! In my experience, taquerias in Manhattan don’t give you a ton of food per taco, but these tacos were stuffed to the brim with delicious food. I was wayyy too full after 3 tacos (which costed about the same amount as a 2 taco meal somewhere downtown). The food and drinks here are pretty cheap and pretty good. If you’re not a fan of having a ton of noise where you eat, you might want to get takeout — the restaurant was pretty loud when my friends and I visited last night. And it’s open late! Pretty solid taco place; I’ll definitely come back here if I’m around.

Buena comida servicio rapido … Que mas se puede pedir… Solo necesitan prender el aire cuado es necesario ya que aveces hace mucho calor

I live a block away from this place and it’s fantastic. I’ve been here a few times, but they also deliver. Have tried the roast pork tacos, the carnitas tacos, the chili relleno platter and the tres leches cake. I’ve only had tres leches cake a few times, but theirs is the best I’ve had so far. Everything I’ve tried has been really good.
The tacos are only $ 2 or 3 each, and the platters can definitely make two or three meals.
I also love the various little candies and snacks they sell, and the people working there are really nice.

Absolutely a hidden gem of the neighborhood.
The tacos are by far the star here, and for $ 2.50 each, you’d be hard pressed to find better within 15 miles. My favorites are the chorizo and the tinga.
It’s worth noting that the burritos, for $ 8, will end you for the night. They are so big. I cannot reiterate this enough. So big.
Finally, the only downside, the chips. I want the chips to be so good… and sometimes they are… but too often are they greasy and flavorless. Only complaint, though.

Best tacos in the Heights! Be sure to try the Tacos al Pastor and Tacos de Carnitas, they wont disappoint!
The place is kind of like a cafeteria and very small, but if you’re looking for great authentic mexican tacos this place is fantastic!

Al ver que hay tacos económicos cerca de mí, me aventé para ver qué onda. El lugar siente muy mexicano y muy a casa estar con raza :). Los señores eran muy amables. Pedí tacos de chorizo, tinga, y bistec. Primero, el de chorizo: esperaba este sabor grasoso, cuya grasa caería al plato tras morderlo pero no lo fue. Es chorizo pero no chorizo mexicano. De tinga y bistec… sin duda alguna mi paladar quedó satisfecho. Otra pregunta que tengo con los tacos era que eran muy grandes, como una tortilla normal que haces para la comida. Me resultó un poco lleno después de comer 3 tacos, cada uno con 2 tortillas de tamaño normal, en vez de tortillas más chiquitas para tacos (lo sé porque soy mexicano). Aparte de esto, excelente trabajo, no hay pex. Iré otro día :) mi calificación es realmente 4,5/5

This place is the tac’o the town!
Had a trio of tacos: chicken, beef and the roast pork (al pastor). They came fully dressed with onions, cilantro and a nice green plop of guacamole. House sauces come in tall squeeze bottles and the green one is delicious — just enough zing to make your mouth sing. The al pastor was my favorite of the bunch, not the least bit dry, and oh so flavorful.
The boy had the giant beef burrito and loved every bite. There was enough to have the next day, and it tasted just as good. He agreed that al pastor was tasty but that it might be too tasty to eat a lot. This is the moment I knew I was dating a crazy person.
PS. The horchata is spot on.
