Taco Bite is back. This hound-endorsed taqueria, once situated on the side wall of an Italian restaurant, vanished more than a year ago. Last month it resurfaced around a mile south, in a larger space near where the BQE rumbles through Southside.
First reports are promising. “OK this was insanely good,” raves apossibleworld, who describes the carnitas as “like the most perfect pulled/roast pork, flavorful without being too overwhelming,” rolled into a well-constructed burrito. Also worth a try: fresh guacamole.
A block or two away is Taco Santana, another good bet for authentic Mexican. Bistec tacos are terrific, apossibleworld reports. wleatherette loves the cecina and carnitas fillings. Santana is mostly a takeout shop, apossibleworld adds, but those with a high tolerance for blaring jukebox music may eat in.

I used to live around the corner from the old Taco Bite. It was the best! They should have closed the Italian restaurant and let those guys set up a Mexican place. Glad to hear there are still good tacos in W-burg…I could use a Taco Bite around the corner from me here in LA!
Sorry the partial title in the right hand column threw me for a loop.The taco-Williamsburg association was too much for this westcoaster to comprehend.
