Our Food Philosophy
As a Mexican company founded on the beaches of the Yucatan, the Tacombi food philosophy is a reflection of a long and rich cultural heritage. We believe we have a responsibility to our guests and our employees to preserve and share Mexico’s culinary traditions — and to do it sustainably with local, organic ingredients free of antibiotics, hormones and additives.
Food
All of our taqueros work hard to select the best ingredients from purveyors that share our values. We source locally and ethically from farmers and fishermen who raise and catch hormone and antibiotic free meat and fish. When we can’t source locally, we work with American and Mexican companies that operate under fair trade principles to get us the highest quality produce, chiles, cactus and other ingredients essential to our cuisine. Traditional Mexican cuisine is ingredient rich and labor intensive. Tacombi works extremely hard every day to deliver the highest quality tacos at great value.
Prepared from scratch everyday, Tacombi takes the diversity of home-style Mexican cuisine from its distinct culinary regions and serves it up in the simplicity of a taco. We have put together a recipe book from our travels around Mexico’s 31 states and capital city, Mexico D.F. At each of our locations, you will find a curation of authentic flavors and wholesome food that can be eaten daily as it is in Mexico.

Vista Hermosa
Our mission is to provide healthy, nutritious and authentic food that keeps the culinary traditions of Mexico alive. Tacombi believes that the tortilla, used for centuries in Mexico, not only holds food together but enhances the flavor so we take great care in producing fresh corn tortillas everyday free of additives & preservatives.

Tortillas
From the Aztecs to the taquerias of today corn tortillas have been the foundation of Mexican cuisine. A quality tortilla is essential to a quality taco experience. Like bread, tortillas are best made and served fresh. We produce our homemade, gluten & preservative free corn tortillas and totopos onsite throughout the day. In addition we also produce vegan flour tortillas the way using pure avocado oil pressed from Mexican avocados rather than with artificial vegetable shortenings. Our line of Vista Hermosa tortilla products are currently available at a number of retailers in the New York Metro area.

SALSAS
Salsas are cornerstones of Mexican kitchens and are an accompaniment to every meal and as varied as the country itself. We make our own salsas from fresh vegetables, chiles, spices and natural seasonings avoiding canned, bottled and pre-packaged ingredients containing preservatives or additives.
La Antigua
Since it's introduction in the late 1800's coffee has become an integral part of Mexican food culture and it is now one of their most valuable export crops. Coffee culture runs deepest where the beans grow the best -- in Veracruz and Chiapas -- and is where we source our beans for "La Antigua" coffee.

Coffee
For our La Antigua coffee we source arabica beans from estates in Chiapas, Veracruz and throughout Mexico. The beans are then roasted here, locally in New York City, to bring out the best aspects of the coffee and to highlight the particular accents that make it uniquely Mexican.
Lupita
Lupita is Tacombi's proprietary brand of in-house natural sodas, aguas frescas, jugos y curativos (healing recipes). It has become a way for us to offer our guests the fresh slice of Mexican daily life full of the natural colors, flavors and abundance of tropical fruits and vegetables found all over Mexico.

Fresh Juice
In Mexico, freshly pressed juices are a part of daily life. Sold from carts and stalls on almost every street corner, these juice makers highlight the country's variety and abundance of tropical fruits and the natural health benefits they provide. We prepare our juices the same way, with nothing but the natural sweetness and nutrients of fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs.
