Tacombi:
If someone told you to go to a garage downtown and eat tacos from an old van, would you do it? Well, if they were talking about Tacombi at Fonda Nolita, it might be worth your while. Visitors may first worry they’ve stumbled into some kind performance art (what with a chef maneuvering inside a gently rocking old-school Volkswagen, a shack at the back of the room and ticket-holding hipsters roaming between the two…), but everyone’s really just there to eat. Patrons buy tickets and beverages from a counter, then use the tickets to acquire soft tacos from the van and the shack—$4 per ticket, one ticket per taco. The next step is to enjoy your varied goods on folding chairs at folding tables and hope the venue gets its liquor license soon. Then again, the ticket system is easy to understand while sipping horchata (a sweetened rice drink, $3) or hibiscus tea ($3), but might prove trickier after a tequila or three.
