Restaurantji's Woodside recommendations for the finest Mexican cuisine.
“I had the pleasure to come to Woodside and enjoy Tamales here… it was AMAZING! I’m not from NYC but I wanted to get out of Manhattan to discover more of the true NYC and a street food like Tamale Lady meets that goal. I had the spicy one and it actually kicks, and it was steaming hot too! Would come again for the $2 price they offer, absolutely fantastic.“
“Been coming to this location for about 15 years and their other location in Ridgewood since the early 90's. It's hands down the best tex mex in the city. Food is always fresh and the service is excellent. I can honestly say I've never had an issue.“
“I guess I’ll be writing the most recent review.I really like their vegetarian quesadillas- it’s flavorful and comes with pico salad and guacamole on the side. There’s salsa and sour cream. They’re filling without making me feel bloated.Additional info: There’s a bathroom in the back, there’s street and residential parking.“
“The best liquor store in Jackson Heights! Happy 10th Anniversary! Not an easy feat. It's also one of the only liquor stores in NYC where you will find rare and hard to find items you won't find in any other liquor store. I love the niche-ness of it all! And if you know your stuff you know they have an amazing selection! Especially, of cordials, mixers, and amari that most stores, especially in this area, would never think of carrying. Their small curated selection just flows! It works! They're also open to ordering something if you want it and if it fits their style. I love this place.“
“I usually don’t do reviews but I feel compelled to today. I come to this TacoBell often to get some work done (at least three times a week). Earlier today I ordered my usual order and was served within 10 seconds (not exaggerating at all). At first I was really mad thinking I got served something old, so I went to the counter to initially complain but upon checking the food it was steaming hot. As I am about to go to my seat (favorite spot is at the corner window facing the parking lot if you want to say hi!) I see the cook bring out someones food before they even finish paying and get their reciept!!? So I go and check to see if theres just a big pile of food waiting to be bagged or if they are actually being made. Lord and behold the next order is two of those party packs and I see these two young men from scratch make over 20 tacos wrap them up and put then in a bag within a minute. Now I am saying the workers here arent slow at all by no means, but never have I seen anything like this until today (Ive been coming to this spot for about five yrs regularly let me tell you). These two exchanged less than three words and then proceeded to be fully syncronized with eachother. I asked the second boy (all the males working here are extremely tall) what his name was and I dont quite remember but when I went back to my seat i rememebr quite clearly not a single customer waiting after paying for their order. I already knew the managers at this location were amazing but this is the first time I have seen anything like this in terms of service from any fast food place in general!! Also the cashier, I believe his name was Marcus came and served me my second order while I was on my phone and not paying attention. I’m not sure if this staff is new but they are definitely amazing!“
“Truly the best Mexican food I’ve had in the city so far. I didn’t know what to expect but the meats and flavor profiles were so developed. We had the tacos, bone marrow, Short rib, bass entree, scallops appetizer, and the rice pudding. Meat was juicy and smoked. Scallops were the softest most pure flavor I’ve had in a while and the spice completely opened up my palate. The bass with its accompanied salad was extremely intricate and well thought out to connect the two. Highly HIGHLY recommend Claro. Definitely coming back to explore the mezcal side of the menu.“
“This place has the most wonderful atmosphere and is truly one of the best Mexican restaurants that we have ever tried! Our server, John, was incredible and made so many great recommendations that made our meal that much more amazing! Highly recommend if you are in the area.“
“I went a couple months ago and the food is so good, we order some appetizers sopecitos de chorizo is one of the best in the menu and the guacamole another level,the drinks are so good we ordered sangria and margaritas. the place looks clean and good atmosphere.“
