Taqueria El Buchon — Restaurant in New York

Hands down the best Mexican in Staten Island and beyond. Ordered Steak Burrito, Al Pastor taco and Mexican Street Corn (Elotes Tajin). Went there Sunday afternoon for takeout and the burrito meat was cooked well but still tender and juicy as well as the pork taco.

Just stopped into Taqueria El Buchon for a take out order for the first time. We were greeted by Ray who was very friendly and happy to talk with us while our order was being prepared.

The carne asada was my favorite and she loved the birria. We will definitely be back soon to try more items. Easily some of the best tacos I've had...
