I had such a wonderful experience at Tacombi! The food was absolutely delicious — full of flavor, fresh, and the portions were very generous, which made it even better. Everything came out just right, and you can really taste the quality and care in each dish.What made the visit even more special was the service. Grace, the manager, is truly outstanding. She’s attentive, incredibly friendly, and made sure everything was perfect during my visit. It’s rare to see a manager who takes so much time to connect with guests, and she really goes above and beyond. Grace is honestly one of the best managers I’ve ever met — she made me feel so welcomed and appreciated.Sara, my server, was also amazing. She took the time to ask me about allergies and toppings, which shows how professional and thoughtful she is. She really knows her job and does it with so much care and kindness. She made the experience smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free.Overall, the combination of excellent food, warm atmosphere, and such a fantastic team made this visit memorable. Tacombi is lucky to have people like Grace and Sara, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

Passing by Long Island city I spotted this nice Mexican restaurant on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Gave it a shot and it’s looking like another happy place. Place looks promising. Staff was very friendly and helpful 5 stars. I had 4 different tacos. They were tasty and good but I did not get any veggie sides or add ons to the taco. Overall food taste is 3.5 stars. I feel like their taste is something I would find at my local taco spot. The best one i had was the $9 rib eye taco. I feel like the look and vibe of this place must have a specialty or best seller item that I missed. I will ask next time and research too. Ima give it another shot and try other food they have. Had a pleasant time here. Love the aesthetics. Atmosphere is 5 stars

If you haven’t been to Tacombi in Long Island City yet, you’re seriously missing out! I had the shrimp taco and my boyfriend went with the pork taco both were absolutely bursting with flavor. Every bite felt like a flavor explosion, fresh, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. These tacos aren’t just good, they’re unforgettable. 🌮🔥Our waitress, Nayelli, was so kind and attentive, which made the meal even more enjoyable. The atmosphere is one-of-a-kind laid-back, cozy, and it genuinely feels like you’re enjoying tacos in your own backyard, but with way better food.This spot is a 10/10. Whether you’re local or just visiting, Tacombi LIC should be on your must-try list. Trust me, once you try these tacos, you’ll be coming back again and again. Highly, highly recommend!

This restaurant is great if you want to grab a quick bite or even if you want to have long talks with friends. Margaritas were great- I'd recommend the Hibiscus Margarita, and the tacos taste great )ima. Hard critic with food) - I'd recommend BAJA fried fish. Our server was Sara she was super nice which I always appreciate 🤍

Came in for lunch and was confused a bit with the multiple paper menus on the table. The server seemed to be a little slow and soft spoken so we couldn't really understand her. The tacos here are definitely overpriced and not authentic. Who charges $9.00 for a steak taco? In addition, a shrimp and fish taco costing $7? I got the masa crunch was basically an empanada with cheese made out of corn. The only good thing was the jalapeño sour cream. Their Birria taco was good but not as I would hope. We finished our bottle of water and the server never came over to refill the bottle of water. Definitely do not recommend this spot for authentic tacos and more so, these absurd prices. Flavor was lacking and portions are ridiculously small!!
