    Fajitas Mix, Burrito al Pastor

    When I first signed my lease, I stumbled upon this place for a celebratory drink. Ever since, I would come weekly. The food is amazing, AUTHENTIC, and reasonably priced. The margaritas are amazing, strong, and also priced right. I cannot recommend this place enough. A MUST go to in Astoria for authentic Mexican food with amazing drinks. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Saying goodbye to this place while moving was the hardest part. 100000/10.

    Placed an order at 11:40pm. Received a text at 12:07 saying the food was on its way. Food never arrived and when I called the restaurant the woman HUNG UP on me. I don't know what this place thinks customer service is, but they've got it completely backwards. Maybe the owner should teach the staff how to deal with their clientele.

    Also, this are supposed to be nachos. It's more like a nacho. Singular.

    Horrible horrible service. Rude and unprofessional. Placed a delivery order. It took over an hour, was cold, missing one item and one item was wrong. I reached out to get a refund, the location called me twice. The second time, a "Jennifer" asked me what my order was, then cut me off to ask when I placed my order. She told me "it was a little late" to complain. When I asked for her name she hung up on me. Pathetic.

    Tostadas and 36. Enchiladas Verdes

    A casual Mexican restaurant in Astoria. Got tostadas and enchiladas verdes, and they were very authentic and tasted muy rico!!!! There is a wide variety of Mexican food so I'd love to go back and try more of their food. :)

    This is what you get for 9bucks. Wow is this for real?? Ive ordered nachos from other places in the neighborhood but never had this little for what I paid. Chicken on top of the nachos don's smell fresh either. This will be my first and last time to this place.

    Wasn't impressed. The steak burrito was lacking flavor. Personally i would have gone to my nearest taco truck and been way more satisfied. Didn't order any margarita so I can't say anything about that. I wouldn't go here again.

    Margaritas!

    Food/prices/portions are consistently great! The staff is very sweet and friendly too! Try their fajitas and passionfruit margaritas. :)

    Ok wow 3 tacos for 12 in this economy! Next to a fun bar no less is a steal. The service was super…read morenice. I sent them $14 and said I over paid. Like cmon its 0 degrees out here and youre cooking for me! You need that $2 tip. I was boring and got all chicken. Definitely trying the alpastor next time. Idk these tacos were really good. Im not sure why it is called tacos and tequila. I remember food trucks in willy b that would sneak you shots maybe they do too? Idk either way courtyard ale lets you eat the tacos there. Either way it took under 10 minutes for our tacos on a zero below weather night, how could you not tip! They take venmo! Loved that for them. Everything was very fresh and tasty. Perfect food for a night of shots and beers.

    Once upon a time in New York City, $10 in your pocket meant you could have a full day's adventure…read moreand a full belly but things definitely done changed but luckily the cabelleros who run this truck are going to satiate your hunger for quality food and then some. Pretty much any and everything here is a hit so depending on your level of hunger the tacos, a sandwich, burrito, quesadilla, or nachos all make for good options. I'm a big fan of the alambre sandwich generously filled with chicken, al pastor, steak, green pepper, onions, and cheese and topped with chipotle mayo, avocado, and lettuce and the steak burrito smelled so good that I couldn't wait to get home and start on it so I took Queens Blvd all the way home and couldn't wait for red lights so I could savor another bite. A shining Sunnyside gem with top quality eats for late night cravings! Highly recommended!
