“This place is a real neighborhood gem. The restaurant and staff are so unassuming and understated, but this is an amazingly delicious and authentic Mexican restaurant. I can't recommend their green chilaquiles enough! This place is a must if you're a foodie living in or passing through Dutch Kills.“
“Good food and drinks. Beer was ice cold! Chips and salsa sampler was fun. The chips being full taco shells was different. The carnitas were the best tacos. Steak was good too. Potato was interesting but don’t let it sit- eat it first or it will Get soggy.“
“Been coming here since I was a kid, it’s been around a verrry long time they’ve changed ownership a twice and it’s just gotten better every timeRaul, who’s heading the shop now’s got the pizza DOWN. classic & perfect slices ;)“
“Great!! As someone who grew up in TX, I’m usually disappointed in Manhattan’s Mexican food options, but this is actually authentic and delicious! The consumé in particular was phenomenal. Only way this could be better is if they also sold horchata or tamarindo aquas frescas?“
“This place is better than Chipotle, in my opinion. They offer tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. This place does not disappoint. The meat is juicy and not dry and most of the other ingredients are fresh. I can't wait to go back again.“
“Been coming here for years as I'm part of a monthly cosplay circus show, Cat's Eye Cabaret, which is venued here, and know the owners. It's really a mainstay of the neighborhood at this point. I always look forward to doing the show and getting fries, tacos and a drink after. You should definitely check it out!“
“I ordered pollo asado Tacos & birria con queso. Everything was fresh and well season. The meats from both tacos you can taste quality & freshness. The guacamole medium hot was perfectly made and chips are fresh and crispy. Place was clean and order was ready in ten minutes. Definitely worth the money & food.“
“What an absolutely terrific restaurant! Wish I could rate them even higher than 5 stars. I took my family there last Sunday and everything was perfect. Food was excellent, staff was welcoming and efficient. Prices were fair considering the expense of operating a restaurant these days. I also appreciate their support of the victims of the dreadful terrorist attack against Israel which occurred on October 7th. I will be back many times in the future.“
“Great food! There was a long line we waited to get tacos. Intended to eat pastor & tripas but they were out of tripas. Instead, I tried the pastor & suadero; they were both amazingly good!! The workers there seem so noiiicee, songs at the place also slaps?! Not much place to sit tho cause the place is soo popular!!“
“Went to Gordo's, got the mole negro, asada tacos and chorizo quesadilla with several drinks and had a great time.The chorizo quesadilla was by-far the fav out of what my friend and I ordered. Their quesadillas are served open-faced, featuring seared cheese and meat and are definitely the most unique, expressive item they have on the menu. The chorizo is well-seasoned and charred to perfection. Will strongly rec this to anyone wanting to know what's worth their time and money on the menu.The mole negro was also good. The sauce is the star of the show; it's flavorful, rich and generously applied to the chicken enchiladas. The tortillas and chicken on their own are mild but that's okay because they're a canvas for this absolutely fire mole sauce. Would also recommend this.The asada tacos are good but I wouldn't get them again. They felt pretty standard; like something I could get from a birria taco truck for a lil bit less but hey, you're also paying for vibes and service.Speaking of, our server was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. All of her recommendations delivered.Drinks were strong. Wished I skipped the michelada my first round and went straight for the margaritas, which had a generous pour.Check it out. Def worth the visit.“
“What a pleasant surprise! Stopped by on a whim. Attentive service and easily the Birria de res (con queso Oaxaca ?) I’ve had in NYC! Their café de olla is tasty with cinnamon and other warm spices. Def check this spot out if you’re in the area!“
“I have been in love with this restaurant since they opened. They used to have a truck. The shrimp tacos are to die for. The guac is fresh and tangy. The intrincadas are another fav. Margaritas are just right especially the spicy one. Their homemade hot sauces are the best I’ve ever had! The cajeta buñuelo dessert is so yummy! My fav Mexican restaurant in Queens!“
“Very authentic Mexican food and very reasonable prices. Food was very fresh and they even have sorrel as a drink option. Having had Mexican food at other nearby locations on Church Ave (won’t say names) this restaurant was the best hands down!!“
“It was such a pleasure to meet the owner (Jose from Oaxaca) who takes pride in his 3-year-old taqueria. He gave a sample of poblano rice, black beans and tinga. For lunch, I had the alambre tepito (3 tacos with pork, chicken and beef) and a drink for $14.92. Of the sauces, I prefer the green one (habanero) which is slightly hotter than the red one. I would definitely go back to try their other dishes.“
“One of my favorite places for tacos!I've had my fair share of vegan tacos (including from multiple Michelin star restaurants), but Jajaja comes in at the top 3, hands down.They use really fresh ingredients and put a lot of thought in the details. I love their service, decor, music, and obviously the food. Most noteworthy are the tacos, but their nachos and cocktails are wonderful too. A really cute spot for a date, but you also might want to come with a group so you can try a bunch of their taco varieties!“
“Authentic Mexican place in Floral park. Our kids found this place online and traveled here for good good. We’ve been here many times and tried variety of food.Birria tacos are so flavorful and authentic. Pupusa, nacho supreme, tacos (all kinds), fajita, burritos- all excellent!If you are looking for authentic Mexican food, this is a good place!“
“This is some of the best Mexican food I've ever had. Everything tasted so fresh and homemade, especially the tortillas.The Birria Nortena was juicy, tender, and delicious! Plus the portion size was very generous.The three other people I was with got steak tacos, chicken enchiladas, and Carnitas Michoacanas. All were amazing!It looks like a small place when you see it from the front but the restaurant is actually downstairs.I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a nice sit down Mexican restaurant.“
“I'm a teacher in the neighborhood of this establishment. After an exhausting and long day at work today, I decided to treat myself to dinner before heading home. Katherine was amazing. She was friendly and attentive. (Even her perfume was amazing! Lol) The next time you come to LaCasita, I hope Katherine is your server and bartender. You won't be disappointed! Xo“
“I’m vegan and attended my friends child celebration for his baptism and when they found out I was vegan they made me a nacho meal that was amazing 10/10!!! The staff are accommodating, friendly, and very fast. Especially for a Saturday. Such kind people.“
“A casual hidden gem for an authentic Mexican food experience! Came in for lunch and was so pleased. The portions are generous and the service is super friendly.We had the Carnitas Burrito and three different tacos (baja fish, grilled steak, al pastor) which were amazing. They stood out so much from the tacos that I've had at other places. The burrito also was one of the juiciest burritos i've ever tasted! Thank you for such high quality food.“
“De Mole is a representation of the exquisite and extensive Mexican gastronomy, the attention to detail, good music, EXCELLENT service and the warmth that is felt when you are with family. I had the joy of trying their menu of 4 courses and dessert and it was SPECTACULAR. My favorite was the ceviche and lamb chops. Alex, our waiter, Ruth, wife of Jose Luis Flores (the owners), Fernando and his entire staff made us live a unique and unforgettable experience. Thank you to the entire De Mole team for your love and making us feel at home. See you soon! ?“
“A classic restaurant that is Mexican but feels like an American diner.American style, where the uncles and aunts deftly serve the potatoes with as much as they can. I was in my early 20s at the time and ended up repeating it several times.In the end, this is just right“
“(4.3/5 rating) so I tried their cheese only quesadilla, Al pastor taco & carnitas tostada. Their cheese quesadilla was my fav. Super cheesy with the green picante (spicy sauce) on point. The Al pastor taco was was on point - I could’ve ate like 3 more of them! The carnitas tostada was okay. Wouldn’t really get carnitas again. I think the al pastor meat was way better! They also have the option to order directly from their website for pick up which I love ! No fees and it was ready on time. Prices are affordable! Worth a try !“
“Oh my dayssss. My new favorite spot. I’m not big on Tacos or Mexican food but my wife loves it and she felt for it and Tony’s was recommended and man oh man they got some new customers. I might subscribe to tacos Tuesdays now, it’s that good! Everything was great!!Check em out.“
“The food doesn’t have much of taste, over-prices and smaller in portions but the service is very good. Friendly servers. Indoor seating g is limited to two tables despite enough space. Well decorative witb quotes and stuff (irrelevant to a food post) Plus point is it’s HALAL.“
“This is my favorite Taco place in Astoria!! Great food & great service!! The Tacos are unbeatable & the other food is pretty awesome too. The prices are really reasonable & the restaurant is nice & clean. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for some good Mexican food.“
“This is it. This is the place you've been trying to eat at but didn't know!The place smells incredible. The food is beyond fresh and the people working here are the sweetest kindest and most incredible team.I didn't know what to order and I didn't have glasses on so I couldn't quite make out the menu.No problem! I just said what I kind of wanted and BOOM they made magic for my mouth.I wish I could give it 6 stars. I'm beyond impressed.“
“Wow. Had the tasting menu here and it was incredible. The affordable price was an absolute plus! Hint: the name is pronounced like the Jewish word ‘shiksa’I would call this cuisine, modern or “new” Mexican. Every dish we had from appetizer, entree to dessert was delicious and satisfying (except for the chicken wings - the flavor was great, but seemed ‘too soft’) Check out the photos for the dishes we were served. Go and enjoy yourselves - but make a reservation because it will be packed!The drink menu is a little confusing, but with the help of the servers, they’ll steer you right! And the drinks are also incredible!Recommended.“
“I really enjoyed this restaurant because the atmosphere is great. The music was fantastic the last time I was there. Everything was very nice, our waiter, Jorge, gave us excellent recommendations for appetizers and main dishes, since my friends were from Korea and had never tried Mexican food and, believe me, the food was also good, my favorite was the short ribs. Good food, good margaritas, good atmosphere!!!“
“Here's my honest opinion! If you're thinking about it - just do it like Nike said. Okay now let's get to the point I ordered the following 1. Guac & Chips - 4/5 Guac tasted fresh and had good chunks but needed more flava, the Chips are homemade and super crispy (i loved it) 2. Carne Asada Taco - 4/5 Tasty soft tortilla, tender juicy steak that lacked some flavor but the freshness of the onion, cilantro and lime with the red and green spicy sauce helped. Horchata 3/5 It's a milky rice drink with a nice cinnamon flavor and a touch of sweetness was refreshing but had some starchy thing at the bottom that made it hard to drink.Now the Best thing I ate was the Chicken Mole Tamale and Adobo Pork Tamale 5/5 my mouth is just salivating as I'm thinking about it. The Mole was sweet and savory and the pork was nice and tender, the Adobo Pork was also good! I am definitely going back tomorrow for more Tamales! A nice little Gem in the neighborhood.“
“Mayahuel has becomes one of my favorite restaurants in Astoria!! The food and drinks were out of this world and the service was impeccable. HUGE shoutout to our waiter Mo who was so sweet, efficient, and such a joy to be welcomed at Mayahuel the first time by. Thank you to Mo and the whole team. We will be back again very soon!!“
“This Mexican place is awesome! Great people, really good food and amazing prices. Since I’ve found this place last month I’ve been here 4 times. The HUGE $9:50 chicken burrito rancheros are delicious. They make super crunchy homemade chips with the tastiest guacamole dip. The place is small, but tastefully decorated. You will not be disappointed here.“
“¡K Rico!This was my second time coming here with my friend, who's a regular, I had the squash blossom enchiladas, ¡vegano!, I'm a vegan, they were so good. The squash blossom enchiladas were hitting! I was practically doing the yummy food dance in my chair from all the textures, unctuousness and umami it was delivering in such a delicate humble dish with it's thick wholesome sauce.We shared the chips and guac, I asked for salt, knowing from the time before that all the flavors are there, it just needs some salt, for me, to make them shine. Obviously you rather it be under salted then over, got to watch my pressure. The chips are always fresh and what you expect from an authentic Mexican restaurant.To drink the waitress recommended the spicy passion fruit margarita and it was so deliciously well-balanced with sweet, spicy and tart, that I made my friend try it and she agreed. Tía behind the bar is a Queen mixologist.The energy here is grounding, the set up is simple allowing the experience to shine. Everyone working there seems to be from Latin American, it does feel like a home kitchen restaurant. As opposed to other "authentic Mexican" places you may go in NYC where the staff are cold hipsters, the owners are wealthy investors and the chef is Indian. There's actual Mexican people chilling here. The food doesn't always come out fast, so go with people you like; don't kill the vibe.The first time I dinned here, I got the nopales tacos. They were good, I just don't think I appreciated it as much, because a month before that I had nopales tacos grilled over fire along with spring onion, topped with fresh salsas, with the grilled tortilla in the backyard of my Mexican friend's bike shop for his birthday. With a michelada! Nothing is really going to top that nopales experience. But I do recommend the nopales tacos here, I know it's hard to get that outside fire grill on food in New York indoor dining, but that flavors were good and the texture was right.If you've made it to the end of this review, congratulations, you're probably very hungry and you should just go eat at Martha's concina.Vegetarian options: I'm vegan and I was able to enjoy different plates on the separate occasions I went. Vegan dishes are clearly marked and the wait staff is knowledgeable. The Vegan/veg options are well orchestrated full meals, made from natural whole foods with developed flavors.“
“Recently came here and the burgers are good! It’s the sister store to George’s Deli on 28th and 37th street. But anyways the place is relatively new but it has way more to offer it’s not just a place where you get deli food but now they offer Mexican dishes. On top of that they have a variety of Mexican products! I feel right at home here. Also one of the employees told me they sell specific mexican dishes on the weekends like barbacoa. Definitely recommend you visit!“
“Outstanding!Came in very late after missing connecting flight, arrived to hear the kitchen was closing but they allowed me to order last second.All of the staff were attentive, warm and welcoming. The food was great. Guac was solid and the chips had a perfect crunch. Birria was excellent - large portion and great flavor.Felt bad about keeping the kitchen staff late so I bought them a round of beers and was treated like family. I’m sure most feel the same after coming in.Don’t know whether I’ll be in Queens again, but if I am, I’ll be stopping by.Thank you Lime & Salt, topped off a rough day with a great night!“
“What a delightful place! As someone who loves mezcal, I couldn't believe the great selection of high-quality mezcals, all 100% artisanal and from different varieties. We paired those mezcals with two orders of tacos: Campechanos, wow! The perfect balance between the three meat varieties, and finally, THE COSTRA, it's a MUST! I won't say more. When you enter the place, it seems like it's just a bar, but they have tables at the back and even a quite large patio in the back part. Highly recommended.“
“Super tasty and friendly people working here. It’s for takeaway only and I arrived on a busy night so there were a few orders ahead of me and just one Mama cooking and another person working. But each order seems to be made with love and attention. I will probably order ahead next time and pickup.“
“Went for brunch with my sister and future Brother in law. Service was great as well as all the decor. The food was flavorful and fresh. The portions were generous. Definitely try their homemade/house made hot sauce it is wonderful. As I said we went for brunch but will definitely come back to try their normal menu.“
“Basically chipotle but better: more topping options, very good portions, and cheaper. They don’t charge extra for guac and queso and have toppings like pickled onions and roasted veggies that are not at chipotle. No free water cup / fountain drink though.“
“Loved the Tacos and cocktails we had here this last taco Tuesday. We loved the vibes at this spot too, fun artwork lines the walls and it’s super cozy!Highly recommend trying the Salmon Dish, the Birria tacos and the Azteca soup — it is perfectly seasoned!“
“My favorite Mexican seafood spot in town. Their camarones sarandeados were perfect. Their aguachile verde was from heaven with the perfect amount of heat. The fish tacos are great but everything else is much better.Kicker, I’m sober and love mocktails-the virgin michilada is by far the best I’ve ever had. All in all the staff is the cherry on top, they are attentive and friendly.Being from the Pacific Mexican community, you feel so far when in New York. For a mere moment you will find yourself on the beaches of Sinaloa. Honestly, I’m already plotting my next visit always.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp up to dining hall.“
“Small, cozy atmosphere with yummy food and drinks. Guacamole was fresh, chips crisp. Chuleta al pastor amazing with its pineapple jam, moro and shaved brussel sprouts salad. The corn was yummy. I expected the maple maduros to be sweeter because of the maple but they were regular maduros which was still perfectly fine. Tamarind margarita and mezcal drink were perfect. I will definitely recommend and be back.“
“This is my first Yelp review ever but this modest little restaurant deserves it. Not only is the food surprisingly delicious but the owners and staff are warm, welcoming and generous. They always offer something while waiting for take out and when eating in they take the time to talk to you and make you feel part of things. They even remember me from one visit to another which is something I never experienced before. I fully recommend. Everything is good but we particularly love the Burria tacos only served on weekends as well as the specials they offer which are always .. well... special!“
“Was visiting from Miami and had the pleasure of having Eddie take care of me. He made sure to take note of my food allergies, and recommended some amazing drinks. He also gave me tons of great recommendations of what to do while here on vacation. Thank you for everything!“
“Went here for dinner and would definitely recommend.Upon entering Tia Eli's there was a vibrant atmosphere. We loved the music and the walls were painted with a beautiful mural. The staff were so kind and welcoming, made us feel right at home :)We were blown away by how fresh and flavorful all of the food was! To drink we had horchata and coffee. The horchata was very rich and a large portion - not watered down and well worth the price. The coffee was freshly made and hot - it came in the CUTEST mug, To start we ordered chips and guacamole. The chips were freshly made, they were so crisp and light - loved em! The guacamole was made to order and was so freakin delicious!We also ordered the large tacos. The tacos were on freshly made corn tortillas and came with a spicy salsa as well as a vibrant salsa verde. We tried pollo, al pastor and birria tacos. The pollo was very tender and flavorful. The al pastor was a PERFECT mix of tangy and smoky - cooked to perfection! The birria taco is worth all of the hype! It has a crisp outer tortilla and a soft inner tortilla, with cheese melted in between. Then there was more cheese and birria in the taco - a truly insanely delicious taco!!! We also ordered some rice and beans on the side - the beans were soooo yummy and the rice was pretty solid.If you are in the neighborhood come check it out, you will not regret it! I will be coming back!“
“Fun cute place. Someone's birthday and they celebrated with singing and music and a little hat. Food was customized for my vegan lifestyle, they were so accommodating. And it was delicious!Vegetarian options: Just ask the staff for substitutions.“
“This is my new favorite spot in bushwick! Read some reviews so I decided to stop in for lunch. Such a warm and cozy place. Felt very welcomed soon as I entered! I ordered the spicy guacamole and the Short Ribs With Pepian Verde!Both were tremendous!!! Full of flavor and a wondering presentation.I will be a returning customer Forsure!“
“Just Halal Fusion is a win/win for the local community and the consumer. The food is made with great care using high quality fresh ingredients and the highest standard of handling practices. The quality of the food, quantity, price, and highly varied selection translates to tremendous value for the customer. Not many establishments in the area are able to check all of these boxes. My whole family and many of my friends frequent this restaurant many times a week for this reason. All of their offerings are the perfect combination of delicious, affordable, and filling.The food preparers will always make your food exactly to your request and will quickly remedy any mishaps. The restaurant is always kept clean and all staff are extremely courteous. I couldn't recommend Just Halal and their wide array of tasty options enough. From Quesadillas to Kebabs, you will not be disappointed.Parking: Free parking allowed at the strip mall across the street.Kid-friendliness: Options for kids (kid-sized meals and beverages)“
“I love the fact that they have a plant based option and have not excluded those of us that do not eat meat or too much dairy. They’re Beyond meat quesadillas and Zucchini quesadillas, tostones, yellow rice are absolutely delicious! They also substitute any regular meat on burritos for plant based meat. The waiters are friendly and get to know their regular customers. Overall it’s a family friendly atmosphere with salsa and bachata tunes that make you want to get up and dance! The cocktail’s have a great presentation. We look forward to eating at Casa Margaritas every time we get a chance to enjoy dinner at this little gem. Thank you Juan and all the waiters ❤️“
“I'm surprised this spot has bad reviews. I love the quesadillas here. They have so many options and you can ask to customize them as well. We love jalapeño with cheese topped with sour cream, cheese and lettuce. My parents love this spot too because the food is authentic and not too greasy. Also, if you like spicy food, try their red sauce, it's soo good.“
