Homemade Taqueria Midtown

Mexican restaurants in Midtown often lean toward tourist menus or corporate chains, but Homemade Taqueria keeps it local. The spot on 539 9th Ave New York, NY 10018 serves lunch and dinner with a focus on speed—ideal for solo diners or anyone who needs a quick bite without sacrificing flavor. They offer dine-in, takeout, and curbside pickup, plus alcohol if you're in the mood for something stronger than horchata. The setup is Latino-owned, a detail that shows up in the small touches, like the way the tortillas hold up under salsa verde.

You won’t find a sit-down experience here, but that’s not the point. The place moves fast, which makes it easy to grab a meal between subway transfers or after a long shift. For pickup or a table, call (646) 609-1060. The stretch of 9th Ave near Port Authority has its own rhythm, and this taqueria fits right in—no frills, just food that doesn’t overcomplicate things.
