El Tepeyac Taqueria 97 St
8.1
Broad-menu taqueria on Lexington that runs from breakfast through midnight with tacos, burritos, and late-night combo plates. It works when you want a sit-down Mexican spot after most neighborhood kitchens have closed but still need a full plate, not just a snack.
Must-Try Dishes:
Tacos al pastor (2 pcs), Burrito al pastor, Al pastor pork combo with rice and beans
