    Pozole de pollo verde con tostada! Awesome..all day long
    Daniel M.

    Awesome food with very consistent quality every time we eat. We have been coming to this restasince they opened and we have had burritos, tacos, birria, soups, margaritas frozen or on the rocks and they deliver and extra ordinary experience every time. The wait staff is always very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu items. We love the food and the ambiance! Tonight we tried the seafood soup which is a new item on the menu and the chicharrones, both were extremely good. We had a family orser of tacos with an assortment of fish, al pastor and chicken pozole. Of course we ordered pina coladas and margaritas! I can hang out at the bar and drink all afternoon with my buddies!

    Mushroom Gordita
    Maria S.

    Came in late night with a party of 5 and we were well accommodated. The decor is beautiful and the food was excellent. We all had options ranging from vegetarian to fish options. The mushroom Gordita was filling and the salmon tacos were delicious. I had the mole Amarillo which was light not spicy at all and paired with the juiciest chicken breast. Next time I want to try the mole rojo. If you're looking to try something new cocktail wise I opted to get the mezcal paloma but spicy version which was fantastic and strong. The dessert was perfect and my favorite was the passion fruit mousse. I want to come back to have Brunch. 10/10!

    Baja Fish Taco and Carne Asada Taco - both really good!
    Jess L.

    My friend and I had a weekday dinner at Taco Azul. We easily got a seat around 8:30pm. We had a booth seat, which sadly was one of the most uncomfortable booths I've sat in in a long time. But the chill ambiance and good food made up for it. The sauces are really the stars, including the hot sauce. (The hottest one is very hot, indeed!). I really liked my Baja fish and carnitas tacos. They were a good size for the price. I'd perhaps skip the $5 salsa and chips, as the salsas were kind of meh. I'd also probably skip the rumchata Pina colada, which was a bit too sweet and not enough rum, but I was dazzled by the drink menu options.

    Cheese enchiladas with Mole Sauce
    Sonia P.

    Met my friend here one evening on a Tuesday. We got there late, and were perhaps only one of 3 tables at that time. We got sat in a booth and the booth was very uncomfortable. I could actually feel the springs underneath my bottom which tells you all you need to know about those. The food (for the most part) was a hit, though. We got chips and salsa (this was a miss, the chips were great, but the salsas were meh) - I'd probably get the nachos next time instead. We also shared cheese enchiladas with mole sauce, and the mole sauce definitely had a depth of flavor. I could taste the nuttiness and it was pretty good - these also came with black beans and rice which were delicious! I also got a baja cauliflower taco which I really enjoyed with their chipotle sauce. I got a horchata which I always love. I ended up ordering delivery from here with my husband a week or two later because we wanted Mexican food and I was curious how it would travel. My husband got a baja cauliflower burrito bowl, and I got the baja cauliflower taco, again. We also shared a cheese enchilada with the red sauce which, again, came with rice and beans. I have to say it all traveled really well, and my husband really liked his burrito bowl. This place was good, but I wish there were more true vegetarian options. Not vegan options, but vegetarian options. I definitely want to go back and try the nachos!

    Guacamole & Chips Fried Chicken Quesadilla Carne Asada Taco Baja Fish Taco
    Karen C.

    Been craving for some good tacos. Tried the carne asada and Baja tacos. So good. Highly recommend and def will come back to try others. The chicken quesadilla was ehh. It was just shredded chicken in tortilla, I don't think there is any cheese in either so it was a bit boring. But the guac and chips were really good! Def recommend a must try and highly recommend the tacos!

    Our go to spot every single time for the best tacos and margaritas. The service is great, the place is always packed. So the best thing to do is always get a reservation if you can.

    Baja Fish Taco and Al Pastor Taco on corn tortilla. Definitely liked adding hot sauce to the fish taco

    So cute inside and the tacos were so flavorful. Staff was friendly and attentive. Meter parking right in front so it was easy to get to

    Hibiscus drink
    Dana H.

    I had their lunch special, chicken burrito with chips and salsa, Jamaica (hibiscus) Agua Fresca and their guacamole and chips. Their hibiscus drink was definitely on the sweeter side, but still very refreshing, and their guacamole and chips were soo good. Their guacamole was creamy and the chips were thick enough that it didn't break when scooping up the guacamole. The chicken burrito was a bit rice heavier than I expected, and I did wish it had more flavor, but for the lunch special, it wasn't horrible. I did find that I had to scoop a spoon of guac onto my burrito each time I took a bite because it was so dry. Overall, I think it just an okay meal. It was fine for a lunch, but I really wished the burrito had more flavor and it was less dry. I haven't had any other items on their menu, so this is just based on my experience with their lunch special.

    Burrito Bowl/Salad with Steak and Nachos with Chicken
    Mike L.

    I've been following these guys since they were at that small spot on Clintonville and probably ordered from them once every few months. This was our first time actually sitting down in this restaurant and eating, though (I know, I'm a homebody). From the cool light fixtures and intimate bar area to their Frida Kahlo neon quote, the place definitely gives off cool vibes. Service is really friendly as well; when the staff talks to you, they do it with a smile on their faces. Wifey and I weren't too hungry, and I was just in the mood for nachos, so we figured we'd stop by to grab a quick bite. We ordered the nachos with chicken and a burrito salad with steak. Nachos: The tortilla chips were definitely thicker, so they could probably travel decently for delivery or pickup. The toppings on the nachos were nice and fresh. My only criticism is that the nachos at the bottom don't really get any love. It would be nice if they put some chips down and threw some cheese on there or something. Burrito Salad: Pretty good. The steak was seasoned and cooked nicely. The beans and rice definitely added some nice flavors as well. Overall, a pretty good spot. Check out their sauces too. In my pictures, they go from the least spicy on the left to the spiciest on the right. Even though we can't handle too much heat, the spiciest one on the right is the best tasting. Our server even offered to give us some to take home since she saw us enjoying it so much.

    Decent tacos, I ordered horchata, chips and guacamole, two chicken tacos and one fish taco. It's okay to say the least nothing too crazy about it. The chips and guac were $12, I definitely wouldn't recommend; the chips were hard and it tasted stale. It has a nice ambiance and the service was nice, but that's about it.

    TLDR: Taco Azul is a local neighborhood Mexican spot in Whitestone. Tasty apps and some great salsa. Steak nachos, quesdillas are solid and lots of taco/tostada options. Taco Azul is one of the better spots in the Whitestone & Bay Terrace area. The portions are generous so make sure not to overorder. I personally like the steak nachos. They're crunchy, cheesy, juicy steak, lots of toppings. Ask for the habanero sauce fore extra hear to cut through the richness. The chicken flautas are also great. Crispy fried tortillas packed with chicken and cheese. There's a whole lot of mix and matching that can be done with the tacos. Pick flour, corn or blue corn. Tortilla or tostada, etc. The quesadilla is solid and the enchiladas are saucy, filling and packed with protein. For tacos my favs are the fish taco and chorizo.

    I ordered and received a 'birria' burrito for lunch. It was pretty good! I liked it. Some other folks were there with their families during the time as well - makes the place lively!

    Birria Tacos
    Nicole K.

    Went for lunch. There are excellent specials for $15 which include a side dish, main ( tacos, burritos, bowls, quesadillas) and a soft drink. Upgraded for a really delicious margarita. You can pick the salt rims The food was well plated and served with attention to detail. Our server explained options and also told us about the Sunday brunch special ( there's a bottomless option) This is a really solid Mexican spot in an area of Queens that doesn't offer many. Totally coming back to try more menu item's

There are 2 bathrooms which we didn't figure out until later because there was only a sign for 1 of the 2 bathrooms but once we figured it out, we saw the cute photo op area in the back. It's literally directly behind the DJ. The place is decorated beautifully and plenty of options for pics. Food was great, drinks were great and so were the vibes. Love the way they sing happy birthday with a whole party and bubbles. Overall great experience for a bday brunch no complaints. I will def be back for brunch and dinner for sure.

We got a carnitas burrito, grilled cactus side, horchata, and strawberry limeade (per her recommendation). Everything came so fast, and they even split the burrito for us! Oh my god, everything was so good. This has to be one of the BEST burritos I have ever had, comparable to the ones in San Diego. I love carnitas, and they do it so well here. It was tender, flavorful, just the perfect amount of sauce and seasoning! And the horchata was the best I have ever had too! The strawberry limeade was refreshing, and the grilled cactus was good!

The tacos are Mexican-style with meat and vegetarian options and were simply delicious. The meats we got - carnitas, steak, chicken were all cooked great with tender juiciness. They gave ample lime and sauces to pair as needed. Prices felt reasonable. Overall taqueria tlaxcalli had exceptional Mexican food for NYC with very good hospitality and dining options and I highly recommend! The tacos were a tier above my favorite NYC tacos - Santos, Los tacos no 1 and carnitas Ramirez.

A large party of more than 15ppl were seated, a table of 3ppl, and several couples at other tables. The place is tastefully decorated with a beautiful 3D aesthetic pleasing wall mural of a woman's face. 2 bathrooms were neat and clean. Food was delicious, and presentation was awesome. We ordered their sampler that comes in a 3 tier serving tray: coconut shrimp, calamari, chicken and steak skewers, wings(the only thing that didn't seem fresh and did not taste like sweet Thai chili-and we eat sweet Thai chili a lot -that's how I know), mini bite size various meat/seafood empanadas with the outer dough having a normal red or black coloring. The 3 chimi sliders were very tasty and the guacamole and yaniqueque -flat dough that is deep fried and crispy. Services although excellent seemed very slow. It is not uncommon to find service slower when there are less people in the establishment because staff will go about setting up their station, cleaning without noticing that people are waiting for water, ready to order food or drink or asking for the check. I empathized with a woman who I noticed sat by herself, slightly annoyed to wait to place an order her great looking fish-she had to signal a server to come take her order--by this time there are still several empty tables. Overall, because the food was great, I will come back again.

I'm also happy to report that their happy hour, though still in its early stages, is shaping up to be a solid way to give them a try. We ordered the mussels frites, fish sliders, crab bites, Brussels sprouts, and the pretzel with cheese. The absolute standouts were the fish sliders and the mussels in wine sauce. We usually get the fish and chips and mussels from the regular menu, so we had a feeling these would be the winners and they were. I'd 100% recommend both plates. We ended up ordering two rounds of fish sliders so that should say it all! :) The Brussels sprouts were roasted and simply prepared, which I really appreciated. I'm honestly over seeing fried Brussels on every menu, they're rarely that good and oily. If I could tweak anything, I'd add a sauce or drizzle for a little extra dimension, maybe balsamic or a sweet chili dip. Still, I'd absolutely order them again; they make for a great, lighter snack or side. The pretzel was pretty standard, but I liked that it didn't come salted since the cheese sauce has plenty of seasoning. It came out piping hot and stayed that way until the very last bite.  The crab bites were just okay for me. The sauce they come with is tasty, but I wish there was a little more flavor mixed into the crab itself, maybe some onions, peppers or herbs. However, they're not bad at all; they're full of crab meat and overall really solid. If you prefer a simpler flavor profile, you'll probably love them, especially with a squeeze of fresh lemon. We genuinely love Dakota's, and we'll keep coming back to enjoy the views and the great service. It's been nice seeing them evolve into a true neighborhood staple with all the events they've been hosting. Right now they're even running a toy drive, and they have toys available on site that you can purchase and drop directly into the donation box. Such a clever and thoughtful touch.  It's also worth mentioning that they're in full holiday mode right now, with decorations throughout the space. Whether you just want to soak up the festive atmosphere or snap a cute picture by the tree, they've got you covered.
