Tacombi got its start as a taco stand out of a converted VW van before growing into a full restaurant group, and its Nolita flagship on Elizabeth Street kept that colorful, garage-door-front, taqueria-meets-cantina identity — a lively bar, fresh tortillas made in-house, and a margarita-and-tacos scene that draws a steady crowd of locals and tourists in the neighborhood.
