Taqueria Diana 7.5
Hell's Kitchen
Vibes: Cheap Eats Budget Brilliance Late Night Legends Comfort Food Classics Solo Dining Sanctuaries
The Hell’s Kitchen branch of Taqueria Diana, a California-inspired mini-chain established in 2013, serves tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and big trays of nachos until late night. It’s a reliable stop for hefty, cheese-forward comfort food within walking distance of Port Authority and the Theater District.
Must-Try Dishes: Al pastor burrito, Cheese nachos with salsa and jalapeños, Carne asada tacos

What makes it special: California-inspired tacos, burritos, and nachos served all day in Hell’s Kitchen.
Who should go: Late-night burrito fans wanting hearty portions near Port Authority.
When to visit: Evenings and late nights after shows or neighborhood bar crawls.
What to order: Al pastor burrito, cheese nachos with salsa, carne asada tacos.
Insider tip: Portions run large; split nachos or plan on leftovers if you add a burrito.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is limited and competitive near Port Authority; rely on nearby paid garages along 8th Ave and 9th Ave.
Dress code: Completely casual — come as you are, from jeans to post-theater attire.
Noise level: Moderate; counter-service bustle but still easy to hold a solo meal or quick conversation.
Weekend wait: Usually minimal waits; brief lines may form after theater let-out.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait, though takeout orders can stack during office lunch rush.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Several options, including bean-and-cheese burritos, nachos, and veggie tacos.
Vegan options: Limited; simple bean tacos or burritos without cheese or crema are possible, but customization is required.
Gluten-free options: Corn tortillas are available, but no dedicated gluten-free prep area.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better suited for casual, no-pressure meetups; it’s counter-service, fast, and more functional than romantic.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — it’s walk-in only with quick turnover; you’ll typically find a seat or grab takeout.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for older kids who enjoy tacos and burritos; limited seating and late-night crowds may not suit very young children.
Best For
Better for: Late-night burritos, large portions, and ideal proximity to Port Authority for quick comfort food.
Skip if: You want regional Mexican cooking, a quieter sit-down experience, or extensive dietary accommodations.
