    Chips and guac free for the table
    Win C.

    Great authentic Mexican joint near queens zoo! Tiny place but food was delicious (not overly salty or sweet). The carnita platter was my favorite and had chunks of tender meat. Tacos had lots of flavor but I would add the guac on it next time for extra flavor and creaminess. Chicken soup was great for our daughter.

    Al Pastor Burrito

    Came here for take out for lunch on a Sunday. I ordered an al pastor burrito. Pretty good. The pineapple in it adds a hint of sweetness. The guac was more salsa like.

    I came here with a group of people and the hostess (who might have been the owner?) was super friendly! A bunch of us got tacos and it was so delicious. It was authentic, well-built, and tasty in every bit. We also got horchatas. Highly recommend if you are looking for great Mexican food near the area!

    Cheese enchiladas! This photo did not include the beans and rice.

    We are from the Bay Area in California and was driving aimlessly looking for something to eat. We decided on having Mexican and yelped our way to this little Gem of a place. We were greeted by a very nice woman. She sat us in a booth with secured shielding from others sitting in booths to the front and back of us. We ordered. I ordered the cheese enchiladas which came with beans and rice. My son ordered the 3 taco with beef. Our meals were delicious! And we ate everything on our plates. It looks like the tortillas are made fresh there too! Since I'm not from this area, I hope that my review helps with this small little business. I would definitely come back if I was visiting NY again! Yummm! The service is awesome!!!

    So this place is like all the hype is about it…read more Very good service Very clean The food is different and very quick , tasty and leaves you wanting more . Position are a bit small for a whole in the wall like this and prices are high especially on the tacos but that's because the quality seems really good and fresh and effort put into it. I will definitely try to come back And come early no reservations have to wait in lines cold or warm you will have to. Maybe they should open another spot or expand but that's their business .

    Came here on a Friday night and was seated immediately, but the place was busy! By the time we…read moreleft, there was a line waiting to be seated. The menu is entirely in Spanish but the waiters can help if needed. We ordered the Gobernador taco, a half dozen shrimp, the regular guacamole and the aguachiles verdes. The Gobernador was a large size - really more like a mini quesadilla than a taco in my mind. It was flavorful and filled with seafood. The half dozen shrimp were cooked well, but a little hard and messy to peel. The guac was good, a little oily but tasty. The aguachiles were really good but borderline too spicy for me. The spice continued to build as I ate them and it did feel less enjoyable but it was good to start. My main grievance with this restaurant was how loud it was. I was yelling and struggling to hear what my friend or the waiter said, but the food was delicious. Maybe if it were less crowded it would be ok, but definitely not a great atmosphere for having a conversation.

Soft, flavorful masa and generous filling. I also tried tacos and a quesadilla, and everything tasted homemade and well seasoned. You can tell they know what they're doing here. The toppings were fresh, and nothing felt rushed or sloppy. The vibe is simple and welcoming. It feels like a local neighborhood gem. Prices are reasonable, portions are solid, and the food actually delivers.

    After a gym session, my sister had a craving for tamales, so we decided to check out this place…read moreshe'd been eyeing. Having never tried tamales before, I was pretty eager (thanks to her positive comments). We sampled both the adobo ($2) and birria ($2.5) tamales, and they were absolutely amazing. Personally, I found the adobo tamale to be slightly better in terms of flavor but both were equally well made with its rich, flavorful seasoning. My sister, who has tried tamales before, mentioned that these were even better than the ones she got from the random tamale table (near Woodside), thanks to the diverse flavor options available and how fresh they came out. The customer service here was exceptional. A friendly lady approached us, handed us menus, and took our order with a warm smile. Even though tipping isn't required, their service went above and beyond, making us feel genuinely welcome. We also couldn't resist trying the birria taco ($4), which arrived piping HOT. It was generously stuffed with birria, making it a hearty and satisfying choice. While it was a tad salty for my taste, my sisters thoroughly enjoyed it and had no complaints. Our total order came out to a little less than $10 for three people, which was perfect for a light snack before heading home for our protein dinner (get that protein intake in! EEEEEEEEEE)

I'm…read moresurprised it doesn't have as much of an online presence considering how tasty this was. Located underneath the subway lines and is just a grill on the sidewalk, they have a little table/seating area and has a unique menu. I ordered the Tlayuda, which is like an Oaxacan pizza(?). Set on top of a large and crispy tortilla, it's coated with beans, cheese, tomatoes, avocado and an assortment of different meats like grilled steak, ground pork, and grilled pork. It was really tasty and I loved the crisp tortilla underneath. Definitely a dish to share because it's huuuuuge. Cash only!

    I was booked to fly to Mexico City and Oaxaca City on March 20th, 2020. We can all guess how that…read moreturned out. I had read about Oaxacan tlayudas, large crisp tortillas coated with a layer of mashed black beans and sprinkled with savory toppings, while trip planning, and I was intrigued. I noticed the Sr. San Pablo cart advertising tlayudas when I was at Corona Plaza a few weeks ago, and prioritized a return visit. Since then, I've tried a steak taco and the combination meats tlayuda, and both were delicious. The steak taco had juicy and well-seasoned meat, a flavorful tortilla, and amazing spicy sauce. The tlayuda was large enough for 2-3 people to share. In addition to the large base tortilla and bean spread, the combination variety had chorizo, steak, and seasoned pork (the best) for the meats, stringy Oaxacan cheese, tomato, and avocado. There were red and green salsas and escabeche pickles available for garnishes. I would have liked a little lime to add some sparkle to all of the savory flavors. There are 4 small stools and a covered table next to the cart to sit and eat, but I can't imagine it'd be a fun experience in bad weather. Definitely check this place out.

    This was some of the finest food I have had in Queens. We went there after the counter had closed…read more All they were serving was tacos prepared outside. We ordered pastor, chorizo, and cabeza. All three tacos were impeccable. I will give special mention to the chorizo. It had a very different flavor from other choris I've eaten. It was even, fatty, rico, and flavorful. I chatted with them about that, and it turns out they make their own. The cabeza (beef cheek) also deserves a mention. Just like the chori, it was perfectly seasoned without being over-seasoned. In that way, it was very much like provincial cooking. The cabeza was super velvety, stewed... just perfect. The location is a storefront in Queens, and it's exactly what you should expect from a family storefront in Queens. You're not going for fine linen. You go for the finest NYC Mexican food. And you're also going to get a bons serving of the friendliest people on Earth. We loved every second. It helps to know Spanish. Don't be all pissed off if you don't and you can't keep up.

The daily specials all looked del and the Chicken in a spicy pumpkin seed sauce was sold out. They let me try the sauce and it was slammin! I ordered 2 Quesadillas at 12.00 each. Menu online is outdated but they adjusted the prices in house with a pen. Huitlacoche ( corn fungus or smut) made with onions and some added corn Flor de calabaza ( Zucchini flowers) Both with no overpowering seasoning and not over salted The staff do not speak English so considering I speak Spanglish and understand most cuisines it was easy for me. They are very friendly!!! Somehow someway the man (Abuelo) knew I am genetically Italian. Again super friendly staff. Outside is the taco grill inside another grill plus the kitchen. This is definitely a NYC hole in the wall prize like many spots in Queens. It's not a 5 star ripoff joint and don't expect Tex Mex Bring a friend more don't you will be happy
