Sarah R.

Was lured in by the BOGO options they had on Uber Eats. And this will probably be one of go to taco spots! Had some carnitas tacos, tostadas with chorizo, and some rice and beans. Everything was fresh and flavorful. They also didn't skimp on the salsa verde, and had a bunch of little containers of it.

Ah, 3 AM tacos have become our shameless family tradition. Picture this: (petite, skinny) bites of pollo taco, carne enchilada taco, carnitas taco, and pollo empanadas, all while sipping on horchata like there's no tomorrow. To my defense, we're growing children (well, used to be...). Let's break it down: * Pollo Empanadas ($3/2) Underwhelming, to say the least. My sister claimed the crust was good. It was kind of soggy but not their fault. Made sense since the delivery was a long trip; other people's photos show yummy crispy empanadas. The stuffing was meh. Dry, overcooked, flavorless chicken but the red sauce really helped. Would have been nice if there were some veggies but can't complain cause it is a pollo empanada, not a pollo with veggie empanada. * Carne Enchilada Taco ($4/2) Two tacos on a BOGO deal? Yes, please! But alas, they were just okay. The soft shell had a stronger corny taste than expected. My sister's verdict: very average. And who am I to argue with that? Average is the new okay at 3 AM. * Pollo Taco ($4/2) Two more tacos, same shredded chicken, same story. Dry and flavorless. But hey, at least you can taste the cilantro, onion, and extra lime clearly here. They used the same dry chicken from the empanadas but with the added green sauce, it wasn't a biggie. * Carnitas Taco ($4/2) The pulled pork taco was tender (as expected), flavorful, and had a smoky taste. This one was the star of the taco trio, hands down. * Horchata ($5) Their horchata was a hit! Not overly sweet, with a stronger cinnamony taste. If you like extra cinnamon, this one's for you. A pleasant experience, with extra points for the great sauces on the side. The green cilantro sauce with a spicy kick was a game-changer, adding a fresh taste and making the tacos less overwhelming (and their chicken less dry). Definitely not the worst tasting tacos I've tried. For being open till 4 AM for some relatively tasty tacos, this place deserves some credit.

Half eaten carnitas taco

Wow! This Taqueria makes some delicious food. I almost forgot to take photos and make a yelp review. I was so hungry I went for a quick bite and that bite turned into me devouring half of my meal, Ha! I ordered through Ubereats. I stayed completely optimistic. I didn't know what to expect but when I tell you it was very delicious, I'm not kidding. I ordered quite a few things for my husband and I. He ate at a later time so I didn't get photos of his food either but he also loved it. I had a Carnitas Hurache and the flat corn dough crust it's made with was so soft and spicy. I like spicy food but not mega spicy and it had just the right kick to not be overwhelming hot. I also had Al Pastor tacos and Carnitas Tostadas. My husband had Cecina Tacos and Carnitas along with Al Pastor and a Tamarind drink. The Tacos and food is not plain, I want to preface this by saying don't expect a loaded taco. This Taqueria is straight onion, cilantro, crema and lettuce that's it. So whatever you order it will not be colorful and full of different flavors unless you purchase Pico or guacamole separate to add on your tacos or food. Speaking of Guacamole, I love how smooth and creamy it was. Prices are affordable and fulfilling for sure. In fact I'm thinking about ordering again tonight. I'm glad I decided to give them a try.

Supposed to be a quesadilla.

Not only did I wait over 20 mins for take out, this is what I received. This doesn't look like a quesadilla at all.

2 Bistec tacos  and  one vegetarian tacos

We ordered chalupas with beef fresh and authentic. We had tacos with plenty beef and a bean/vegetarian taco. All the food was fresh and fabulous. Lots of lettuce, radis, fresh limes and green sauce! Yummy! The horchata beverage was fantastic, a quart was only 5 bucks. Plenty for sharing. It was light and not too sweet. It was flavored with cinnamon and possibly nutmeg. We will be back!

Mexican (and Tex-Mex) isn't an option that Queens lacks, but about a year ago the Chilaquiles on…read morethe menu put El Ranchero on my radar. Surprisingly, it is a dish that is hard to find in the Flushing/Fresh Meadows area especially in a sit down, comfortable restaurant. The Chilaquiles was a nice little plate of deliciousness - I loved the tangy green salsa soaked bed of tortilla with nicely fried over easy eggs (they way I ordered it). A fan of avocado, tomato and onions top the dish as well - it comes with a side of rice and beans. I recently returned when I was in the mood for enchiladas - they have combo option with beef, chicken and cheese. I ordered them divorced style with both red and green salsa. It comes blanketed with a shredded lettuce salad with tomato, onions and avocado. Rice and beans round out the dish. A couple of other dishes I tasted were the eggs with chorizo and the chimichanga - both were very good. I love their house salsas both a dark red and green one. They bring out tortilla chips with a thick salsa that is tomato-ey sweet. They have a full bar if you are so inclined and the service is very good here.

Nice corner spot with residential street parking nearby. A few tables comfortably spaced out as…read morewell as a few counter/bar seating. They get a lot of takeout/delivery orders. Not fluent in English, but very friendly service. They have an extensive menu! They give complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa is a sweet tomato-y salsa and the chips are crisp. The Chimichanga with Cecina (Salted Beef) was stuffed! Crisp fried exterior, covered in flavorful red (tomato-y) and green (herb-y) sauces. The cecina is perfectly salted. I enjoyed the guac and chips (same as the complimentary chips) and pico on the side added freshness. They also have a house red and green sauce, which have a good kick and flavor to them. The Pineapple Juice is the right amount of sweetness and tart. I like that there's no ice so it's a full glass of juice! Overall a neat local spot to hit up for good food and friendly service (and a full bar!).

However, that doesn't mean that it has lost its touch. Service was so friendly, and ambiance was nice. My boyfriend and I came for our anniversary and got their special shrimp ceviche, mole, and enchiladas. Everything was phenomenal. We also got their horchata and tamarind tea--both were so good, you definitely cannot skip those. Wish we were more hungry to try their desserts, but we can save that for next time!

Came here on a whim and they happened to have seating for us outside. I've heard great things but…read morefor the price of everything I think it was simply just good. We got the ceviche de pescado, which was the best dish by far and extremely delicious and sour. The fish was perfectly cooked in the lime juice too. We also got guacamole, which was simple and not exciting. Overpaid on this one for sure. For mains my fiancee got tacos al pastor and they were good, but not differentiated from any other al pastor tacos I've gotten. Key difference is they were $9 per taco! I got the Carnitas dish and it was really good. Some tender pieces, some a bit too firm, all slow cooked with no browned/crisped exterior. For $40 I'd expect way better, but it was still good with the pickled carrot and onions and salsas. Wait staff was very friendly, could have been a bit more attentive to our drinks, but not an issue. The vibes in outdoor seating were good (music was inside only). Aguachile cocktail was on point and my michelada was solid. I would give Casa Enrique 4 stars if either the prices were a bit more reasonable or the quality was a level higher, but as is I was not really impressed and I'm not keen to come back.
