Oustanding tacos, flavor, value, and service. It's a mix of Chipotle and my favorite Indian and taco spot. I'm definitely coming back.

The place has been around for over 9 months and this was the first time we have been here all due to needing a late night meal. The place is amazing and food is definitely better than chipotle and the price are comparable. The service is also top notch, the server was right that we will come again and enjoy the food. read more

I was recommended this place after my younger brother tried it and it's literally around the corner from my house. It's like chipotle but a lot better, I feel like the flavors are more pronounced and the portions are a bit bigger. I ordered the bowl with Mexican rice, black beans, fajita veggies, honey chipotle chicken, corn salsa, pico salsa, lettuce, and sweet mango verde. The honey chipotle chicken and sweet mango verde were amazing, they were the highlight of the meal. The chicken was sweet and savory and so tender and there were a lot of big pieces too. The sweet mango verde was a little sweet, tart, and spicy. I honestly felt like it would be delicious on anything. It was so good that I couldn't stop eating even after I was full. For about $11-$12, I think this is a great lunch, I'll definitely come back here often. read more

Taco Express Mexican Grill - Loaded steak tacos with hard shells - Mexican Near Me - Queens, New York

They were doing so well ... last time the steak i ordered was very chewy compared to previous times. I'm writing in hopes they can fix this. The service is always great. read more

Dry, without flavor. Ordered from Uber eats. Definitely a waste of money. I also did not receive a complete order

Great it's open late. Ordered with Uber Eats. They had the buy 1 get 1 on a variety of Birria Tacos. For $18 I was intrigued. Also order the guacamole with no spice. Received order, guacamole super spicy. I mean unable to eat spicy. $9 down the drain. The Chicken Birria taco was tasteless. Very bland. Salt and pepper goes a long way. As well as consome. Maybe I should've gotten beef. Idk if that would have had any flavor.... read more

Huge portions. Ordered their chipotle honey chicken bowl. It was good but the taste wise it was more towards halal bowl rather mexican.

I have been coming here since it first opened. I love that the food is always consistent and fresh. The customer service is good. The only down side is that recently they started using thigh meat for the shredded chicken and Its not something I prefer. Will still continue to support there business as the food is still amazing. read more

I decided to go to taco express last night because they are open late and I just got off of work. I have been here more than once and I always have the same problem where I'm always waiting an excessive amount of time waiting to place an order and in general. Last night had to be my worst experience at taco express and I probably won't ever return. I stood on line to place for more that 15min and when I finally got to place my order the person serving me was barley paying attention to anything I was saying and then when we got to the part where I add my protein I asked for honey chipotle shrimp the employee proceeded to tell me the paying customer that was standing in front him that I had couldn't get any shrimp cause what was left was for online orders, and I had to wait 15min for more to be made. His tone was disrespectful and to tell I must wait longer cause people who made an online order must get served first is insane to me. After seeing the look on my face the employee next to him proceeded to tell to give me the shrimp and he proceeded to give me only 4 pieces so then I asked for half chicken and he tried to take shrimp out of my bowl. I am so disappointed and disgusted after last night and can't believe I spent my money here m. Never again. It's loud inside the restaurant they need to turn down the music and start listing to the customers probably they are placing their order. I won't be coming back. read more

The honey Chipotle chicken option for the soft taco is delicious. Nice young staff that is very enthusiastic. Great place to go smooth night owls like me since it is open late. They have their own home made sauces. I would recommend the mango sauce. A lot the environment is nice and clean inviting if you decide to eat it. Halal of course! read more

Basically chipotle on steroids but better in every way, and they're open until like 4am

I have ordered the steak birria tacos 4 times this week from here! They are the best I have ever had! And the give you more than enough consume on the side which is 10/10. Get the steak birria tacos!!!! read more

the food is ok . my daughter was crying over the phone and the staffs asked my wife and my daughter to leave . I just walked away from few minutes and they started to being so unprofessional OMG . I would never never go to this place again . We care more about the right attutide rather than the foods . do not bring your kids to visit this place because they will ask you to leave if the babies cry. so unprofessional . they are not family oriented they dont even have the love for the little girls . read more

Def reccomend this spot. One of the better Tex-mex spots I've been to in NY (coming from a Texan). Great portions, fresh ingredients and full of flavor. You won't be disappointed. read more

Taco express is among the best fast casual Tex-mex restaurants in the region, period. The fact that it is halal is a huge bonus. If you want to compare it to the other halal tex-mex joints, it blows hot peppers out of the water in all aspects - price, flavor, options, quality, quantity, and most importantly service. On to specific fixings: Ground beef - A++ - perfectly flavored, goes well in just about anything. Honey chipotle chicken - A+ - chicken options are a dime a dozen in Tex-mex joints. Taco express' option does well to stand out Guacamole - A+ - the fact that it's free is incredible because this guac is every bit as good as Chipotle's Corn salsa - B - does the job but would be better if it used white corn Cheese - B - ordinary best defines it Spicy queso - A+ - delicious. Perfect flavor, texture, and quantity. Goes well in anything Cilantro sauce - A - an excellent choice, I'd describe it as a sour cream sauce with a hint of spice. Habanero sauce - A - if you enjoy spice, this is it. Tons of heat with great flavor. read more

I think this place is permanently closed. I don't know what happened. It's been over 6 months they only lasted a few months. It's too bad. Update...they have reopened! Can't wait to go back. read more

Came here twice and they were closed despite Yelp saying they are open. Next time make sure to call the location before to confirm they are open! read more

Great food, Great place and clean service. We'll be coming back here soon . Thank you

This place is like a Halal Chipotle but ten times better. Very fresh and delicious food. Large portions, and fast workers. Very good price aswell. read more

The Best place for halal tacos, nachos and burritos. Would highly recommend it. Check it out yourself.

I've been coming here for awhile now. The food is good, the place is clean and I like the fact it's open late. My only complaint is I've noticed they are cutting down on the portions. It's obvious when the servers make your food they really stretch it out. You used to get two scoops of protein now it's 1 1/2. Yes, your customers notice you don't empty the scooper to give the full serving. This place started with a good formula for food service. Don't start skimping and changing it. You will lose customers. I wish you continued success. read more

I ordered the 3 crispy tacos. These tacos shells were really nice and crispy indeed. I got the grilled chicken which was plentiful and very juicy. Topped it off with some pico de gallo, cheese and some sauce (sour cream and cilantro aioli). All of this came up to $12. Overall I think it was kind of bland. The sauces were very watery and did not add much flavor to food. Hot Peppers sauces are much thicker and tastier. I think you need to reformulate your sauces to give it more taste. Also from a price point I can get the same 3 crispy tacos (1 chicken, 1 shrimp and 1 steak) for $9 at Hot Peppers. read more

This garbage establishment follows the loosest interpretation of halal there can be. I've never felt sicker in my life, I would rather order pick up from Rikers Island cafeteria. The steak was dry, the rest of the ingredients were bland, chicken was undercooked and smelled as bad as it looked. It should also be stated that the service was also poisonous, I've never seen 6 people in an assembly line be slower than ever, if this was an auto assembly line we'd all be biking to work. Terrible attitude as well - you shouldn't have to ask to be helped when ordering food. I've seen the owner respond to other negative reviews with empty apologies and actually putting the blame on customers! This establishment is as cheap and awful as the dining they offer. They are disrespecting the beautiful and rich cuisine of Latin America. read more

Absolutely love this place. Huge portions, super tasty and filling! Would recommend the quesadilla and burrito bowl! You won't regret coming here. read more

Meh....steak is not steak...and was a premium. Inconsistent, the customers before us had bowls that were filled to the top, ours not so much...felt ripped off...or were those customers friends of the servers??? Taste was meh. Tacos were not good. There are many other similar places, try the others instead. read more

This place is great! . Atmosphere is chill and cool but the staff is also really friendly. They know what they're doing , and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. Food is pretty amazing , great tacos and bowl choices you won't be disappointed, love it ! Definitely will be back. Keep up the good work. read more

My husband and I visited Taco Express and it was amazing. Authentic tasting tacos with a spicy twist. Everything was fresh and the portions are generous. The burrito was one of the best I've ever had and they have an array of fresh toppings which were all very tasty. Really nice and friendly folks! You have to try this place!!!! read more

Amazing food great service staff is super friendly portions are exceptional especially for the price. Meats are extremely tender and taste amazing with a variety of different sauces and toppings it's definitely the best bang for your buck and to top it off they're the only mexican spot open in this neighborhood that's open late. read more

I've ordered from Taco Express 2x via Uber eats and the food is amazing. I decided to go visit in person last night and the staff is just as amazing as the food. I ordered the birria tacos (new item) in both steak and chicken. Actually I walked away with 4 orders of it (don't judge, I wasn't alone lol). The presentation, the packaging, and the taste is A-1. Taco Express will forever be one of my favorites. (Will post pics next time ...which will be very soon ) read more

This place lists its open until 2am. Placed an hour at 12am (I work night shift as a nurse so this was my dinner) so not super close to closing. We ordered 2 bowls with guac And extra chicken, chips with guac, and 2 orders of tacos with guac. Not only did nothing come with guac nor the extra protein and the guac and chips didn't arrive in the bag, but the place still charged us for all of it. We also were missing sauces and rice and beans on the side of an order. We didn't even get refunded for all of what was missing, just the chips and guac. 0/10, just get chipotle before they close--this wasn't worth the frustration. Couldn't even call for replacements because the food arrived at 1:30am (which would have been absolutely fine if everything we ordered came). read more

best burrito bowl i've had! beats chipotle and any other spot by miles. they give a good amount of meat and it's so flavorful. i can't have a burrito bowl from anywhere else now read more

Great place! Awesome prices! Portion of food is beyond belief! Food is always fresh and smells delicious!!! When I order Mexican, this is the place!!!! You won't be disappointed! read more

Came upon this place through the Muslimfoodies Instagram page and immediately had to try the halal version of Chipotle. Already had high expectations from the Instagram post but the burrito bowl and SERVICE exceeded my expectations. 1000% better than Chipotle. All employees were helpful and willing to make everything just right. Definitely would recommend and will be coming back in the future even if I live in Brooklyn! read more

I eat here maybe every other week. And every time I order, their food is consistently really great. I typically get the burrito bowl with the honey chipotle chicken and it always hits the spot, I've also had their quesadillas. Fresh ingredients and their decent portion size has made me a loyal customer - I don't order from other taco spots anymore because I'm so happy with this one. read more

Had a chicken burrito for lunch and I was not disappointed! The ingredients are fresh, the food is very flavorful, and you get a great bang for your buck. I highly recommend trying one of the quesos and the cilantro sauce. Will definitely go back again! read more

Amazing, fresh food! Customer service has always been good here. Prices are very reasonable. I love that they are open late at night!

This place is amazing for Mexican food! I tried to honey chipotle chicken on a bowl and quesedilla and it was the best! I like this place better than hot peppers! Do not miss out on this banger! read more

Excellent Mexican food custom prepared. It's like Chipotle but better. I left very happy. The food was excellent.
