Pink Taco New York City
Pink Taco opens its most recent outpost in New York City’s Times Square, where the local energy matches Pink Taco’s rock music-fueled vibe.
With killer tacos comes an incredible design for the newest 10,500 sq. ft. location featuring seating for 300 across two floors. A delightful fusion of rustic and industrial vibes fills the space, with reclaimed barn wood and exposed columns alongside custom neon signs that bring Pink Taco’s signature vibrant color palette alive. Energetic murals painted by Jason Ackerman of Soho Ink are placed throughout the restaurant, showcasing various traditional Mexican themes, including Día de los Muertos.
Upon entering the expansive bar, guests are greeted by party-vibe lighting reflected in the large first-floor windows, which hits the skull-shaped disco ball, igniting the party atmosphere before reaching the table seatings. On the second floor, another bar awaits guests with high-top and cocktail seating along with a private dining room off to the side, closed off with sliding doors.
Pink Taco’s menu always keeps it real with fresh ingredients prepared with passion to create an eclectic mix of traditional and modern Mexican dishes. This new opening also features the OG menu with the return of Pink Taco favorites such as:
- Fried Lobster Tacos with chipotle mayo, mango-habanero salsa, avocado, cabbage slaw, on flour tortillas;
- Coconut Shrimp Tacos served with red cabbage, orange chile salsa, mango-habañero salsa, and chipotle mayo served on corn tortilla
- Jalapeño Chile Poppers, paired with cotija cheese, served with cilantro ranch
- The Big Barbacoa Burrito, paired with Mexican rice, pinto beans, jack cheese, pico de gallo, chipotle mayo, flour tortilla, and topped with red chile sauce
The beverage program curates a cocktail menu to match the high-energy vibe of Pink Taco. Stiff Pink Taco favorites will be served such as The Frozen Strawberry, slushed and served in a Pineapple; The Lexis Spritz with Martini Rossi Fiero, mango puree, sparkling wine, and topped with soda; and the Espresso Tequila Martini made with El Jimador tequila, caffe espresso liqueur, and Disaronno Velvet. Additionally, a steady flow of tequila and mezcal spirits will be available on the menu for bottle service, shots or sips — keeping spirits high.
Brunch is an important part of the New York social scene and Pink Taco’s daily over-the-top, Hangover Brunch raises the bar. The menu features Pink Churro Pancakes; Mexican Bread Pudding French Toast; Breakfast Papas, made with beef barbacoa, breakfast potatoes, pickled jalapenos, Mexican crema, cotija cheese, avocado, and two over -easy eggs; and more. There will also be an excess of “hangover cures” like the Rainbow Mimosa Buckets, pitchers of Fiery and Spiked Agua Frescas, and a Frozen Pink Sangria.
