damnlines.comdamnlines.comCult Tijuana-style taco stand's FiDi outpost: a walk-up counter, no seats, and a line treated as part of the deal.
Los Tacos No. 1 opened its Financial District outpost at 67 Exchange Place on February 24, 2025, per the Downtown Alliance — its eighth NYC location and second in Lower Manhattan (Tribeca Citizen). The format is the chain's usual one: a walk-up counter built to feel like a Tijuana taco shack 'dropped in Manhattan,' with no seating. You queue, order, and eat standing.
The line is the venue's defining feature. A newyork.com review describes it snaking 'down hallways' and 'past storefronts,' and frames the place as 'a fast counter, not a linger spot.' The Downtown Alliance tells visitors to anticipate waits during lunch hours. Several accounts stress it moves quickly, though — a Yelp Q&A regular says 'It moves very fast,' and another describes a busy Friday night as 'a fast and pleasant wait.'
On timing, the same Yelp Q&A points to the pre-lunch hour as the quietest window; after that, the respondent says, 'it will be busy all day until the evening.' On opening day the shop was busy enough to sell out of tacos (Downtown Alliance). We don't run a camera at this location, so none of this is a live count — it's what regulars and local press report.
No camera here yet — but these lines are on camera right now:

Reports agree there's usually a line, especially at lunch (Downtown Alliance), but it's consistently described as fast-moving — a Yelp Q&A regular says 'It moves very fast.'
A Yelp Q&A respondent says the pre-lunch hour is the least busy; after that it's 'busy all day until the evening.' So arriving before the noon lunch rush is the quietest window regulars report.
No. Tribeca Citizen and a newyork.com review both describe it as a walk-up counter modeled on a Tijuana taco stand, with no seating — you order and eat standing. There are no reservations.
The newyork.com review is titled 'Is It Worth the Line?' and treats the queue as part of the experience, advising you to move with purpose and eat standing. We don't rate the food — we only note that reports consistently call the wait fast-moving.
