Sammy's Taqueria runs a counter inside Gansevoort Liberty Market at the Oculus, turning out fried fish tacos, burritos, and quesadillas built for quick service. Diners grab trays of tacos and nachos, then slide over to the market bar where all-day happy hour cocktails and margaritas make this one of the easiest Mexican-plus-drinks combos near the World Trade Center. It’s a fast, flexible option when you want something more flavorful than a basic food-court meal.
Must-Try Dishes:
Fried Fish Tacos, Chicken Tinga Quesadilla, Loaded Nachos with Guacamole
What Makes it Special: Counter-service tacos and burritos inside a food hall with all-day happy hour cocktails.
