This spot is only frequented by locals, and you'd only really hear about it through word of mouth. Most of the patrons here are Latino and some of the staff are monolingual Spanish speakers, which speaks to its authenticity. We came here on a Friday night around 11pm. Mexican music was playing from a digital jukebox and there were about 3-4 tables of patrons getting their taco fix. We started with a couple horchatas (small $2.50, large $5), which were a great accompaniment to the flavorful tacos. We ordered 6 tacos between us ($3.50 each): 2 chorizo, 2 tripe, and 2 al pastor. This was my first time here, and I found everything to be tasty, but my friend who's a regular here found the tripe to be less crispy than usual. The tacos are quite hefty, and come with a side of radishes, 1/2 a pepper, and limes. If you live in the area, it's a great spot to check out, especially after a night of drinking.

There is a certain phenomenon that I'm convinced only exists in NYC, which is the existence of…read moreTex-Mex / Mexican themed takeout spots run by Chinese folks (#1). Folks from diasporas where Mexican communities run deep and authentic Mexican food is abundant will rightfully see these places as an abomination. If anything, they're a significant contributors to the stigma that NYC is incapable of producing quality Mexican food, let alone Tex-Mex. Taco Today most definitely belongs in this group. Their setup is like many others, almost as if American-Chinese takeout was morphed into faux-Mexican fare and sold for similar prices. The food is salty, low quality, and not even remotely close to the real thing. Yet, when compared to its similarly themed restaurant brethren, it stands out for its abundance, relative affordability, and solid variety. Hard shell tacos are a thing. So is ground beef that strangely is reminiscent of Taco Bell. Portions of the menu are dedicated to Mexican rice toppings, burritos, and quesadillas. Even the fajitas are packed with substantials portions of protein. Minus tacos (#3), most everything is affordable and under $10. Delivery is quick and service is not the warmest, but it's most definitely efficient. There are only a handful of tables for dine-in, so it's best to make this a takeout experience. Anyone who lives in Sunnyside, will find their delivery to be wonderfully quick. Lastly, no need to order anything in Spanish. ___________ (#1) Fukinese fam, unite.

Food was very good. We ordered gringas poblanas, which they…read moresound better than the look. The tostadas were much better, the tortillas taste freshly made, they dont crumble and the tostadas were loaded with carnitas. The server had 3 sauces on the table, tomatillo sauce, roasted chiles sauce and avocado sauce, the sauces are safe, not spicy but they each bring a different character and flavor. We order the chicken mole (dark meat) came with a leg and thigh, beautiful covered in a thick layer of home made oxacan mole and it was served with rice and beans and a generous stack of tortillas. My wide ordered a pancita large bowl, perfect size meal. Enhiladas verdes de pollo for me. For dessert we had churros with mexican homemade chocolate sauce- a nicw way to finish a meal. Overall the food was great. Service was good we got there at about 5:15pm so the okace was not too crowded. Parking is always an issue sk be prepared to take your time to find metered parking. The most disappointing dish were the gringas poblanas, bite size serving, not enough taste, not worthy of being in the menu. Everything else was pretty tasty. I noticed margaritas were $17, oricey for a small beverage. We didnt order anything from the bar, as the price dis not make sense for the small serving we did notice servers were not well organized as we had 3 different people tend to our table. Once food was down, they never came back to check on us. At the end they ask for a18% gratuity, when service is great, i have no problem. In this case, service was mediocre-so 15% ahould be sufficient.

It was great to get a whole meal for under $10. Highly recommend it.

I usually try something different each time to keep things fun, but one thing that never changes is how amazing the food and service are. Yesterday's order reminded me that I've been taking them for granted all these years. This is a fantastic, family-run business that truly cares about its customers. The wife is always friendly and fast--she takes orders with accuracy and warmth. She also looks out for me since I have a few food allergies. If I unknowingly order something that has green peppers, she'll immediately say, "NO, it has green peppers!" She's smart, strong, and always protecting her customers. Her husband handles the deliveries and knows me by name. That kind of personal touch is rare these days, and it means a lot. Fresco Tortilleria, thank you for years of amazing food and incredible service. You are hands-down the best oriental/Mexican fresh food spot in Forest Hills. A+ all the way.

Ambiance (5/5): The restaurant goes far back and into a backyard patio. It would've been great but…read moreit was rainy the night we visited around 7:45p on a weekday. There's a window to see the kitchen prep and all the ingredients that they use. There was one other party but at the end of our meal, a group of 15 people came in! Service (4/5): Service was very slow and hardly had refills. In this establishment, you will have to flag down staff to notify them when you're ready to close out. Food (5/5): The food was delicious!! I ordered the Alabre Tepito (#11 roast pork, chicken, steak). The meats were flavored, the tortilla was soft and fresh (not a wrap). The portions were huge and price was super reasonable ($14 for 3 tacos, $15.50 for a huge burrito). The homemade house sauces were fire. Recommend and will come back! Great happy hour deals.

Today I called and was told they weren't doing deliveries because they had no cook and had to place him in the kitchen but I could order through uber eats or doordash. No problem I was going to until 1. Doordash said they weren't making deliveries or taking orders and 2. Ubereats is charging $20 to deliver although Im a block away. I called to let them know and the girl was like what do you want me to do? We have no delivery person. I didn't order for pick up because I am pregnant. Also no need to be rude when im trying to let you know the app isn't working. Like I said their food is great but it also has gotten soo expensive in the last few months. $20 for guacamole and chips like if I was in the city and for a small portion is not right.

The burrito filling was just meat, beans, and rice (but the rice that comes as a side dish, peas and carrots included) which was odd to me. They came with mixed vegetables on the side, almost like a salad. No type of sauce in the burritos or on the side. Only thing was the sour cream lightly placed on top. Fail. The tres leches was even worse! It was peach flavored, which I'm actually a fan of, but it didn't seem to be tres leches at all. Either the piece they gave us was old or they ran out of tres leches specifically & used regular cake dipped in sweet milk as a replacement. Take your money elsewhere.

As soon as i walk in, I was greet by a homeless lady who asked me to buy her food! I dont mind helping and i did buy her food BUT the waitress literally took an order from her without even consulting with me. she didnt ask me if i was okay with the amount of things this lady was ordering which resulted in a very high bill. The waitress just took her order and added it to my check Now the most important topic , the food : DISGUSTING!!!! The guacamole was watery, tasted sour and old! It went brown within 2 minutes! It was simply gross! I had to ask for it to be removed from the table before i puked! Honestly they just killed guac for me! The tacos were full of onion & chicken that taste like a cardboard, covered with the disgusting guac, all over!!!! The burrito was tasteless and full of rice! I am just traumatized!!! OVOID IF THIS PLACE AT ALL COST!!! I am actually wondering if these reviews are even honest!
