Shrimp Tacos with Barely a Seat by Union Square

Pick up a quick meal beside UCB, where fresh fillings get a light touch of onions and cilantro.

Plan a takeaway stop.

🌮 Fresh Fillings, Small Footprint

Shrimp and carne asada are among the fillings at this tiny takeaway near Union Square. Tacos and quesadillas anchor the menu, with fresh fillings that are not frozen. The kitchen gives meat the lead and takes a lighter hand with onions and cilantro. Pick a filling, choose a format, and think of the order as something to carry into the rest of the outing.

The setup has almost no indoor seating. A bag to eat nearby fits the room, rather than a long meal around a table. At 226 East 14th St, UCB is next door, making a show there another way to pair the stop with plans.

Hours run Monday through Friday from 11 AM to half past nine PM, and Saturday and Sunday from noon to 9 PM. Keep the different weekend opening time in mind when choosing when to head over.
