West Village Tacos to Go, Open Until 10 PM

For West Village tacos to go, The Little Taco House at 246 W 4th St is a small independent counter built around takeout, with tacos, burritos and a build-your-own burrito bowl on the same short menu. The decision most people face here is simple: walk out with the order, or sit down in the compact nook that holds only a handful of seats.

Hours are 11 AM to 10 PM Monday through Saturday, and 11 AM to 6:30 PM on Sunday, so a weeknight dinner runs later than a Sunday one. Delivery is offered if a West Village pickup is not the plan. The kitchen keeps to classic Mexican flavours instead of a long fusion menu, and the spicy shrimp burrito and the burrito bowl are the two orders reviewers name most often, alongside friendly, fast service.

The caveat worth knowing is size. This is a tiny, budget-minded spot rather than a table-service restaurant, so it suits a quick meal and a small party. For a proper sit-down with drinks, the margarita and taqueria pages in the list below are the better fit.

There is no long menu to work through, which is the appeal. Tacos and burritos anchor the order, and the kitchen also builds burrito bowls for anyone who wants the same flavours without the tortilla, a customisable option reviewers treat as the practical pick for a bigger appetite. The spicy shrimp burrito is the item reviewers return to, and the salsa is the one detail to treat as variable: praise for the cooking is consistent across flavour, affordability and speed, but one long-time regular flagged a recent change to the red salsa, so go in open-minded rather than loyal to a specific heat level. Portions read as generous for the money, and the staff are described as friendly and quick, which matters more than usual in a shop with almost no room to wait. Ordering is a takeout transaction: choose at the counter, then eat on a nearby bench, back at the office or at home through delivery. If you want a full sit-down Mexican dinner with margaritas and outdoor tables, this is a taco run, not that meal.

The weekly hours are the practical detail: 11 AM to 10 PM Monday through Saturday, then a shorter Sunday that closes at 6:30 PM. That split matters in a neighbourhood where late dinner is the normal plan, because a Sunday visit has to happen earlier than the same meal on a Friday or Saturday. Weekday and Saturday evenings give you the widest window, and a lunch stop works on any day of the week. The kitchen runs takeout as the main service, so an order placed late in the evening is a pickup or a delivery rather than a long sit in the dining nook. Delivery removes the trip entirely, which is the better answer on a wet night or when the nook is full. Check the clock before a Sunday trip: that is the one day the 10 PM window does not apply, and the closing time moves close to three and a half hours earlier than a weekday.

There are three ways to eat here and they suit different trips. Takeout is the default: most customers order and leave, which is why the shop reads as a grab-and-go stop rather than a dining room. Delivery is offered, so a West Village address can skip the walk entirely, which helps when the blocks between W 4th St and home are the slow part of the evening. The third option is the compact dine-in nook, a small set of seats for eating on site that works for one or two people who want the food hot rather than boxed. What it does not offer is space or table service: this is a tiny independent shop, so a group of four or more will be happier at one of the taquerias in the tail list, several of which have outdoor seats and drinks. Aim for an off-peak dinner if you want one of the few seats, and treat the visit as a stop rather than a whole evening.

Does The Little Taco House deliver?
Yes. Delivery is listed as an available service, so you can order without making the trip to W 4th St.

What are the hours?
Monday to Saturday 11 AM–10 PM, Sunday 11 AM–6:30 PM. Sunday is the one day that ends early.

Is there seating at The Little Taco House?
Yes, but only a compact dine-in nook with a handful of seats. Most customers take their order to go instead.

Can you build your own bowl?
Yes. Burrito bowls are one of the customisable options, alongside tacos and burritos on the standard menu.

How is it rated?
4.6 out of 5 from 363 reviews. Reviewers cite authentic flavours, generous portions for the price and friendly, fast service.

Where exactly is it in the West Village?
At 246 W 4th St, New York, NY 10014, on West 4th Street in Manhattan's West Village.

Is it good for a group?
Not really. The dining nook is small, so groups are better off at a taqueria with tables, chips and drinks.

What should I order first?
The spicy shrimp burrito and a burrito bowl are the two orders reviewers mention most often.

Is it expensive?
No. Reviewers consistently describe it as affordable and budget-friendly, and it is a counter rather than a table-service restaurant.

Do I need a reservation?
No. There is no reservation system; you order at the shop or send a delivery order instead.

Keep going after your taco stop. Lena Ortiz opens with Manhattan tacos from birria to plant-based fillings, open to 2 AM, then Casey Wu moves to massive burritos on East 14th Street with delivery available. Marcus Vale picks an East Village taqueria on East 3rd Street with complimentary chips, and Matt Rowan adds Mexican bites with frozen margaritas at sidewalk tables. Lena Ortiz closes with tacos and fruit margaritas from St Marks to Avenue A, open late. All five sit within two kilometres of W 4th St, so any of them works as a second stop or as the sit-down alternative when the nook is full.
