Great tacos/burritos in the area. The best by far. You must try. They have increased their prices pre-pandemic (didn't they all), but would still get my tacos here.

My opinion is 5.14/10. Cecina: 1/10 I had the cecina (salty beef) was too salty Lengua: 8.5/10 I had the lengua it was good Chivo: 9.2/10 I did have the chivo really good too Campechamo: 1/10 I had the campechamo sausage and beef way too salty no flavor Al Pastor: 6/10 I had the al pastor a while ago it was ok but they don't use the trumpo anymore . So probably it's not as good as it used to be. They don't have tripa a lot and a lot of things go out of stock so I feel overall this is an ok place. Good to pass by only if other things are not open and your super hungry. Check out my in depth video reviews on any of the platforms below.

Really fun to walk up order and eat right at the window with good authentic food and a cool colorful busy stretch of queens to watch go by as you eat, day or night, it's open 24 hours a day.

Hands down the best tacos, Al pastor and bistec are my favorites! I eat a lot of tacos (yes and I'm not ashamed to admit it) and this is my favorite spot by far.

This is good and what makes it even better is that it's open 24 hrs. It's more a food stand spot no seating

I beat the crowd and ordered my 12 tacos before others came after me so my order took up most of the grill. Service was fast, food was delicious and that red sauce was since it was making me sweat. Got the Al pastor, carnita, pollo and bistec. I can pass the pollo next time but everything else was good. $4 each taco!

Absolutely delicious! and they are super fast and friendly. The tacos are super well packed and they are not greedy with their guacamole either

One of the best tacos spots in New York City. The al pastor tacos are a must. Perfect blend of spice and fat. Also, very affordable

If you're hungry late at night there aren't too many options but this sure is a good one. I came here around 2am and they still had a small line of people. I had the steak and carnitas tostada and to my delight the tostada still tasted fresh. That's a pretty tough feat but I guess they're almost 24 hours so they know how to make it work. I thought the carnitas were on point and had enough fat and to me thats one of the best indicators of a good mexican place. I'll be a customer anytime im in the neighborhood.

This place was awesome! The portions of meat were generous, and the green sauce helped balance the taco. They offer radish and limes as garnish, and double the corn tortilla so that it doesnt get wet and fall apart on your paper plate. Theyre also speedy- Four tacos took like five min to cook. I liked the spicy pork the best, but the steak and regular pork were also fire. You can scarf down your food on the counter top, but maybe dont take too long because it gets crowded? You pay at the end, and i think my total was $13 or $12? Something very affordable. Ugh.... you need to go here!!
Love their taco! Authentic and meaty! Beef and trips tacos are off the hook. Especially their tripa taco is so tasty and unique but a bit salty though.

Gonna keep this review nice and simple. This is the MF spot. Yummy, juicy, cheap tacos loaded with your choice of protein. One of my favorite spots in Queens.

Oh my God, Taco Veloz was incredible. I can see the charm and the reason that so many like Taco Veloz. We had Huarache... absolutely outstanding! Not to mention, the service was fantastic and the staff was very helpful. Can't wait to visit Taco Veloz again!

Lived in Elmhurst 1.5 years, this was my go to taco place and the best tacos I've ever had! Tinga & chorizo are my personal favorites-- all tacos are big, juicy, and are filled with onions and cilantro! Yummy! 10/10 recommend!

Possibly the best tacos in NYC. Everything is great. I would suggest: 1. Campechano (Chorizo mixed with beef) 2. Carnitas (soft juicy pork) The tacos are big. 2 would be a full meal for an average person, 3 for a big eater. For $3.00-$3.50 each this is a good deal because they are stuffed with meat. Tacos come with a generous cup of guacamole salsa and a smaller cup of red salsa. The guacamole salsa is not spicy but the red one is. They also give you limes and radishes. It's a takeout window on the side of a building. There is a little plastic barrier around it. It has always been this way. Including pre-covid. They have other things like tostadas and tortas. I've only tried the tacos. Right by the 7 train. Parking is difficult in this area. Open 24 hours. Amazing tacos in a neighborhood with many great taco options. Worth traveling for.
