Even though they had just opened for the day, we were able to get our food served to us decently fast and it was superb! Note: this was the second spot of many on a queens food tour that my group of friends and I went on today. We had a table set up for us and predetermined tortillas/dishes that we were going to try.

I went to this Mexican restaurant with one other person after seeing a Mets game nearby, as it was…read morethe closest thing to the subway. The place is casual, and the servers became friendlier once I started speaking some Spanish, which is usually the case with spots like this. After ordering, they gave us some chips with salsa. The chips were fine, while the salsa was a tad watery and lightly spicy, which was the theme of the food in general, unfortunately. We started with some sopes, specifically Sopes de Pollo, to share which were around $10 for three of them. They each came with usual accompaniments outside of the chicken, with those being black beans, crumbled cheese, shredded lettuce, and tomato. The portion was nice, but the flavor was a bit too light as it lacked salsa (maybe as we were white folks, but who knows.) I found it a bit bland compared to some other spots and carts needing hot sauce. The other person got their Burrito (pollo also) at the same time, which they seemed to like. My main dish was a Torta (with Al Pastor,) which I think was around $11 or maybe a bit cheaper. It was well-sized as it should be, and as I ordered it "con todo," it came with the usual beans, tomatoes, avocado, lettuce, queso fresco, and jalapeño. The bread and the rest of the ingredients were fine, with the heat level being a bit milder compared to some other places I've been to. The meat wasn't my favorite, not really reminding me of al pastor, as it lacked any pineapple flavor, nor any pieces of pineapple, and it wasn't spiced in any way. It was more similar to general roasted pork, so it wasn't really distinct. This is unfortunate, as otherwise, I would have liked this. I found the Mexican food here on the bland end. I would blame this on us being gringos, but even the salsa was watery, and I can't imagine them cooking a separate type of al pastor specifically for white folks like us. The prices were fine, which is expected for the area, but I wouldn't go back here.

Prices are reasonable, portions are solid, and the food actually delivers.

After a gym session, my sister had a craving for tamales, so we decided to check out this place…read moreshe'd been eyeing. Having never tried tamales before, I was pretty eager (thanks to her positive comments). We sampled both the adobo ($2) and birria ($2.5) tamales, and they were absolutely amazing. Personally, I found the adobo tamale to be slightly better in terms of flavor but both were equally well made with its rich, flavorful seasoning. My sister, who has tried tamales before, mentioned that these were even better than the ones she got from the random tamale table (near Woodside), thanks to the diverse flavor options available and how fresh they came out. The customer service here was exceptional. A friendly lady approached us, handed us menus, and took our order with a warm smile. Even though tipping isn't required, their service went above and beyond, making us feel genuinely welcome. We also couldn't resist trying the birria taco ($4), which arrived piping HOT. It was generously stuffed with birria, making it a hearty and satisfying choice. While it was a tad salty for my taste, my sisters thoroughly enjoyed it and had no complaints. Our total order came out to a little less than $10 for three people, which was perfect for a light snack before heading home for our protein dinner (get that protein intake in! EEEEEEEEEE)

I also have to mention this Torta can easily feed a family of 4 and at $22, that is a bargain in New York City. Parking is very difficult around the area as this food truck is located steps from corner of 108th St. and Roosevelt Avenue. However, you get there, I promise you the trip is worth your while. Shout out to the ladies working in the truck. The time I went was so busy yet they handled all customers with a smile and energetic service. I can't wait to try the rest of the menu.
