Taco Vista is all about the location. You’re eating tacos in a postcard, with insane views of Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge. The beachy, laid-back atmosphere makes you feel like you’re on vacation. Then the food and service remind you you’re not.
The fish tacos were under-seasoned and forgettable. Shrimp ceviche had potential but needed acid and more flavor. Chips were straight from a bag, no effort. The hibiscus lemonade was actually great. Finally, something that delivered.
$15 for two basic tacos, and you can’t even mix and match. For that price, at least let me be disappointed by two different flavors. Ceviche was $16 and just okay.
Service was meh. They looked like they didn’t want to be there, and this was just after opening. Can’t imagine their mood by 3 p.m.
Would I go back? Yes, but only for the views, not for the food or the vibes behind...
Read moreSo first time going to governors Island. My friend had visited two weeks prior and stated that the tacos was good. We visited today. I got the tacos and I thought it would be hard tacos so that's my first disappointment. When it came quickly I should have known it would be terrible. It had no taste, I mean nothing on the taco had any flavor. I struggled to finish and they put a few shrimps in there. I also order a margarita which.my friend warned me to not to get anything to drink.I got it because i wanted something cold. This to was horrible and extremely sour. She got a fish burger and fries and also did not like it. She stated that her bread tasted old. It was to expensive and was not worth the price. I paid $25 for two small unseason tacos and a sour drink. If they had more competition it might help in some aspects like either better...

It was hot and I was craving a frozen beverage soooo bad. What better option that a frozen margarita!! They had a watermelon marg which was their regular frozen marg with a watermelon juice floater. This watermelon juice was incredible. Although I do love some artificial watermelon flavor, this one was real juiced watermelon!!! So light and flavorful, mixed with the lime margarita that was tart and smooth. I could've drank a whole pitcher myself.
For food I tried the nachos with pork and these were pretty good. Perfect balance of all ingredients including the chips, so nothing was overpowering anything else. I thought the pork was cooked well and all the other ingredients tasted...
