Planet Taco now orbiting 2nd Avenue

Planet Taco debuted on Saturday at 141 Second Ave. between St. Mark's Place and Ninth Street. (Thanks to Steven for the photo!)

There are a variety of tacos grouped by geography: local offerings include the Brooklyn Taco with corned beef; Around the World features selections from Cuba, Italy and Japan; and Out of This World sports names with Saturn, Venus and Mars. There are other items, which you can find on the menu here. The Instagram account is at this link.

We're told that David Sirinek, who previously has been involved with Maoz Vegetarian and Rub BBQ, is behind Planet Taco.  

The quick-serve shop is open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. 

H/T Upper West Sider!

    Maoz was such a great place, although its mostly indifferent disgruntled staff, and it left a hole in our falafel hearts.

    I looked at their menu. First taco place that I know of that does not have guacamole on the menu. Also Bechemel cheese on the nachos? I have to check it out and see.

    always excited to see taco options in the area.
    23 different tacos on the menu is ambitious....
    hoping for the best

    Dropped by at 3pm on Saturday was told they were “closed.” ... ok? Might give them another chance but off to a bad start.

    Picked up lunch tacos from here yesterday, it was quite good. Glad to have another option around.

    I've heard the same thing in the years since I left the company. I can assure you that you won't find that in our team at Planet Taco. Yes, we have guacamole. It's listed in the menu under chips and extras.
