April Bloomfield’s answer to six-foot-long subs? Large-format tacos.

This Super Bowl special ($200) also includes spicy beer nuts and chili-cheese nachos, pumpkin tres leches cake, and homemade margarita or michelada mix with chili salt and lime— as Tom Haverford would say, you’re covered on apps and ’zerts. • 212-865-5800, salvationtaco.com

Feed a crowd with crispy chicken wings (30–120 pieces, $40–$168) in your choice of three sauces: spicy Mexican buffalo; lime and pequin chile; or sweet and sour, which gets a kick from cider vinegar. Though the game-day favorite is a onetime special, you can get a taste of the refined South of the Border joint’s year-round fare with a to-go portion of the house-made guacamole ($35–$95); the largest size sates 16.• 212-937-4245, hechoendumbo.com.

And don’t forget small bites, such as Mexican street corn, sweet plantains and refried beans (each $12), that are good for nibbling during those long commercial breaks. • 212-645-0193, eltoroblanconyc.com

Slow-roasted pork shoulder is served with a host of condiments (kimchi, Korean BBQ sauce) and lettuce cups for wrapping. Touchdown-dance-worthy snacks, such as confited-chicken-wing buns and chili-cheese nachos, accompany the joint’s namesake dish, while the two dozen Milk Bar cake truffles (in pretzel and chocolate malt) probably won’t make it to halftime. • 212-254-3500, momofuku.com
