Despite a number of prominent taquerias opening up throughout western Queens (#1), the taco scene…read morehas been relatively quiet in LIC. Tacos Rosita was once a mainstay in Astoria, but decided to make the (smart) move to the heart of Court Square. As a result it is one of the few taco trucks in the neighborhood and offers solid food in a pinch. The tacos are $3 a pop, with a decent selection of meats that range from typical offerings (pollo, carnitas, asada, al pastor) to more niche ones (tinga, birria, lengua, cecina, etc.). Much of the latter involves an extra $1 charge, which I have no problem paying if they are exceptional, but the tacos on a whole are very average. Their tortas and huaraches take a bit longer than tacos (naturally) but are most definitely heartier choices at $8 / $9 respectively. The milanesa de pollo is a decent choice for the torta and the huarache is really solid with the cecina and tinga. I am extremely curious about their pescado (fish), fried quesadillas (doradas) and birria, but have yet to try them. The guys working in the cart are nice and definitely take their time with the food. One tip would be to ask for your sauce to be added. They do accept credit card and usually have a decent line come lunch time. This is not a destination food truck, but worth stopping by if feening for tacos in the area. ___________ (#1) From Jackson Heights to Sunnyside and especially Astoria.

I'm all for a taco truck in Court Square, especially one that's parked right outside my building,…read morebut this truck just didn't do it for me. I ordered the #1 and improperly assumed that I would be getting three tacos for $3. I've learned that you should always ask before ordering. For three tacos, $9 isn't too bad either but the tacos were just average. I ordered Chicken, Beef, and Al Pastor. The order was prepared correctly but I felt the tacos were a bit dry and needed some more sauce or salsa. The tortillas were nice and warm but the filling wasn't very tasty or juicy. I did go late afternoon around 3pm so maybe it was just leftovers from the lunch rush. If you go, I would suggest asking for more sauce or paying extra for the guacamole.

Most food trucks don't offer those. All there Tacos are absolutely delicious. I always go for the Fish tacos and the beef tacos. Sometimes I order the chicken but I prefer the fish.

I've gotten food from here few times already but last time I got it which was today, it was soo good. The portions are very generous and you actually get a good amount of food unlike most other places that serve tacos. There's plenty of things to choose from and food gets made quickly. The lady in the truck is beyond nice and helpful They also take credit cards which is a huge plus!

Went on a White Castle run for Midnight Snack and I drove past LOS 3 Potrillos Crunchy Red Tacos…read morefood truck and I suddenly had a craving for tacos. Fortunately, at Midnight, there isn't much of a line, but they are sold out of Tacos Al Pastor!!! The only things they had left were Beef Tacos Birrias. And my oh my, are they good. The taco shells are fried, they add in slow stewed beef and serve it with a consommé for dipping. This is way too gourmet for a food truck at midnight!

I had been meaning to try birria tacos for awhile. Birria tacos are from the city of Tijuana, where…read morethe food comes with a small stew (consome) for dipping. I chose this food truck to give it a try. The truck is conveniently located near the Queens Center Mall. Besides tacos, they also sell tortas (sandwiches) and mulitas (similar to quesadillas). I opted for an order of 3 tacos, which came out to $13 and came with a consome. The tacos and consome here were delicious and super fresh - made to order. The consome for dipping is more of a novelty that slightly enhances the flavor of the tacos. Overall, this is good enough to visit just for having such good quality tacos.

What's better than having a taco truck just steps away from home? Having a freakin' awesome taco…read moretruck just steps away from home. Tia Rosa's tacos are Mexican street food style - double corn tortilla with meat, diced onions and cilantro, your choice of sauce(s), and lime and radish slices on the side - just the way I like 'em. There aren't as many meat options as I've seen at other taco trucks. You pretty much only have the choices of carnitas, pollo, bistec, lengua, and chorizo, but that's fine by me since lengua tacos are my favorite and Tia Rosa's are legit. Each taco will cost you $2.50, which is 50 cents more than what the famous El Rey del Taco truck at 30th Ave charges but hardly anything to complain about. Plus, extras like pico de gallo and guac are free. If tacos aren't your thang, the "más" at Tia Rosa's is burritos, quesadillas, tortas, and cemitas. I still haven't quite figured out their schedule. When I asked, they said that they're at their spot every day at 5pm until late but they don't seem to always operate on this schedule. I suppose the devastation of realizing the truck isn't there while on the way home from a night of partying is somewhat balanced by the joy of seeing the truck round the corner on the way to their spot just as I'm pondering what to eat for dinner. (Yes, both of these things have happened to me.) N-train Astorians should stick to El Rey, but R/M-train Astorians rejoice! We now have a taco truck to call our own.

Had a late night dinner at this truck on my way home the other night. I had the quesadilla chorizo…read morecon papas (chorizo and potato) it was absolutely DELICIOUS! For 8.50 I had more than enough food- the quesadilla was packed full of spicy chorizo and potato cooked to perfection and it was topped with some "so tasty it should be illegal" crema. The presentation was really quite lovely with a small salad and radish on the side. The owners were lovely as well, and happy to serve some yummy eats, even at that late hour. I can't wait to pay them a visit again! I'm getting up the courage to try the beef tongue tacos next. Check this truck out if you see it in your hood! Fingers crossed they stick around B'way and Steinway for a bit.

Free Delivery with $20 minimum purchase. Taco Tuesday: Five (5) Taco Al Pastor for $10! I randomly came across this Mexican Food Truck while shopping at Five Below, and it was screaming my name! We were so hungry...so hungry that we didn't realize 1). It was Tues and 2). They have a Taco Tues Special! Oh well, next time! On this visit, we got: - Chicken Quesadilla ($7): My 10 yr old niece had this and she rated this 4/5. She said more cheese would have made this a 5! - Tacos ($3 each): I tried their Al Pastor Tacos and a Chorizo Taco. They were fresh & tasty but could have used a little more seasoning. Note that the tacos are on the small side, and come in double tortillas. The tacos are topped with chopped onions and cilantro, and come with slices of radish and wedges of lime on the side. Don't forget to tell them which hot sauce you prefer! (4/5) ** You have a choice of green or red hot sauce. I chose the green sauce, and it was just mildly spicy. Next time I'll ask for both red and green sauce, and mix them. They also offer a variety of other items: Tacos ($3-$7) Quesadillas ($7) Birria ($ ??) Flautas ($15) Gringas ($11) Tortas ($10) Cemita Loca ($12) Ricos Esquites ($6) - Street Corn "salad" (not on the cob) Aguas Frescas ($4/small; $7.50/large) I'm not normally in this area, but I'd definitely return to La Troka Poblana. Customer service was very friendly and inviting; quick service. There are two tables with 8 stools in front of the truck if you'd like to eat there.

You need this in your life NOW!!!…read more This taco stand is open 24 hours a day, except Tuesdays. Three hardworking brothers and a team of staff operates this popular, but no name corner stand with a green tent. They have been open for over a year, and deserves to be recognized as one of the best tacos in NYC. This shop specializes in carnitas, which they cook in a cazuela, like in Mexico, and the streets of LA/SD. The menu includes all sorts of interest cuts from pigs and cows that some people may be wary of. To me, it reads like a book I don't ever want to put down. When you first arrive, the guys will give you a free sample taco with an assortment of pig parts such as ear, stomach, skin, and cheek. That's the hook! Because once you taste that addictive freebie, you're ready to blow all the cash you have left in your wallet for more of that crack. They have tacos and quesadillas, both are wonderful and filled to the brim with meats. Stationed on the table is also salsa and pickled onions/peppers. Add some hot sauce, and let the amazing taste wash over you. Protip: If you want off menu items like chicharron, you have to get there early before they sell out. There is a small wait on the weekends, but these guys work fast and furious. If you have no idea how to order, ask one of staff members or some the locals. Everyone is very friendly and willing to share because the food here makes them so damn happy. Honestly, there are almost no Mexican taco stands in NYC that I consider good enough to compete with what's available on the west coast. We need to support these guys and hope they will always be around. I will certainly be here as often as possible to get my fix.

There's some very impressive taco-craft happening at Los Tacos Hermanos Hernandez, and they're a great addition to the Corona food scene which is already pretty rich with Latin American options. The man cooking (whom I'm assuming is one of the Hermanos?) gave us the free lil sampler taco when we arrived, and we selected a few different parts of the pig from the carnitas list (truthfully had to use a lot of Google Translate to figure out what each part was) along with the chorizo. You can see the richly stewing carnitas in the giant metal pot that's on a continuous simmer, and I for one have always loved a forever soup across cultures. The tortillas are fresh and hot, and the staff packed everything up for us nicely along with a container of pico de gallo, some guacamole, and the salsa. Everything has a great homemade-with-love flavor, and we really enjoyed all the tacos. Come check this stand out; they're open nearly every day and have amazing work ethic even in the searing heat!
