Master Critic Review
Los Cunados
7.8
Los Cunados is a street-side taco operation just off Hanover Square where office workers treat early evening as an unofficial taco happy hour. It’s walk-up only, but the tortillas, salsas, and generous fillings deliver more flavor and value than many sit-down spots nearby.
Must-Try Dishes:
Carnitas Burrito, Al Pastor Tacos, Chicken Tinga Burrito

What makes it special: Sidewalk taco stand where office workers line up for surprisingly serious tortillas and salsas at commuter-friendly prices.
Who should go: FiDi regulars wanting fast tacos instead of a sit-down bar tab.
When to visit: Late afternoon into early evening before the post-work line spikes.
What to order: Start with carnitas or al pastor tacos, then upgrade to a tinga burrito if you’re hungrier.
Insider tip: Bring your own canned drink from a nearby bodega and eat on a Hanover Square bench to turn it into a low-key outdoor happy hour.
