Dorado Tacos & Quesadillas 8.0
East Village
Vibes: Quick Bites Champions Cheap Eats Budget Brilliance Solo Dining Sanctuaries
A compact counter-service spot leaning Baja, best known for crispy fish tacos and straightforward grilled fillings. Portions are small-ish, so ordering a couple is standard, but flavors are clean and well-seasoned. Great for a quick taco fix near Union Square.
Must-Try Dishes: Grilled fish taco (Baja style), Chicken tinga taco, Cheese quesadilla with salsa roja
