San Loco, New York

Fifteen minutes inside of San Loco will have you reeking of taco for an hour or two. Bathed in red light, San Loco’s interior doesn’t really focus on atmosphere, though they have put up a few bull skulls and license plates on the walls to maintain the theme of Tex-Mex décor. The prices have risen from the ¢75 tacos of a bygone era: a hard-shell taco with your choice of filling runs for about $2.50. Coronas are recommended if you dine in. Introverts, be warned: San Loco can get pretty crazy with all the punk-rock kids who trail in from Saint Mark’s place. San Loco has an additional location at 151 Avenue A, between 9th and 10th streets.
