Los Mariscos
Los Mariscos is a Mexican taqueria in Chelsea Market that prepares traditional street tacos with handmade corn and flour tortillas filled with grilled meats, fresh vegetables, and house-made salsas. The menu includes options like nopal tacos featuring grilled cactus alongside standard fillings.
Three friends from Tijuana and California founded this restaurant in the 2010s to bring authentic Mexican street food methods to New York City. Their goal was to offer genuine regional cooking from their home areas to a new audience.
The kitchen keeps alive traditional Mexican taco-making methods, with cooks working over open grills and making fresh tortillas by hand throughout the day.
The restaurant accepts card and cash payments and operates from 11 AM to 10 PM Monday through Saturday, closing at 9 PM on Sundays. You will find it busy during lunch and dinner hours, so arriving between meal times gives you a better chance for a shorter wait.
The kitchen makes tortillas fresh from masa every day instead of using store-bought versions, ensuring each taco has a warm, just-made foundation. This daily craftsmanship at the tortilla station sets it apart from most other taco spots in the market.
