Openings: Tacos Domingo on 1st Avenue

A quick post to say that Tacos Domingo officially opened yesterday on the southwest corner of First Avenue and St. Mark's Place. 

As previously reported, the Mexico City-based taquería is making its first expansion outside its home market with the East Village outpost. 

Tacos Domingo is known for its charcoal-grilled meats and handmade flour tortillas. They are also only focusing on a few menu items...

The space also includes several standing communal tables... and per one reader, a fixings bar with various salsas and guacamole. 

The restaurant arrives with a fan base, thanks to a series of NYC pop-ups and collaborations, including well-received events with Apollo Bagels and Esse Taco. 

An EVG reader left us this report: "Charcoal-grilled meat is my thing, these were quite good — but the bean and cheese was even better," CHFDigital said. "Definitely a great addition to the neighborhood."

Current hours are noon to 1 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, and noon to 3 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

Workers installed the Tacos Domingo signage yesterday on the SW corner of First Avenue and St. Mark's Place...

As we first reported a few Fridays ago, this will be the first outpost for the Mexico City-based taquería specializing in charcoal-grilled tacos.

A Mexico City taquería is heading to the East Village.

Tacos Domingo is taking the SW corner of First Avenue and St. Mark’s Place — the former Brooklyn Dumpling Shop space — for its first U.S. outpost. 

The concept, which has multiple locations in Mexico City (including Reforma and Pacheco), focuses on charcoal-grilled tacos, with an emphasis on carne asada and house-made salsas. 

Per its Google description, Tacos Domingo aims to blend traditional technique with a more contemporary presentation — "a celebration of Mexican culture, hospitality and the ritual of gathering around exceptional tacos." 

The brand is currently partnering with Esse Taco in Williamsburg for a pop-up through Sunday. 

No word yet on an opening date.
