tacos
Brian S.

this place feels very authentically mexican which is impressive and lovely. the complimentary chips and salsa and the tacos were amazing. waitresses are very friendly and they have regulars at the bar on weekday evenings.

al pastor taco
Angelina L.

i tried the al pastor taco & the huevos chilaquiles! the al pastor taco was absolutely loaded with meat & toppings, and the meat itself was so juicy! i really enjoyed the green sauce on the chilaquiles, but be warned -- it is quite spicy. the chilaquiles comes with beans on the side, which definitely helps to mellow out the spice! their tacos are either $5 or $6, and the price is definitely worth it for the portion sizes & quality of food.

really good quesabirria!! Open late with yummy agua frescas. Service is fast and attentive. Always busy inside but there is a ton of seating. They have a big menu as well.

Second copy for customer
Luis S.

Great food, the only reason why I'm giving 3 stars is because there is a charge of service of $22? in this place. Service charge? If this is intended to be part of waitress tips it is not right to charge your card and then bring the receipt to the customer with a copy and put tip again. Service charge in one ticket and tip charge in the copy for customer? This is how you're gonna lose customers, I don't recommend this place to go and eat, the bigger the party is the bigger the charge is. And besides that you have to tip again to the waitress? Not coming back, overcharging customers is not a way to survive in business. No lo recomiendo este lugar te cobra por servicio y aparte tienes que dejar tips.

I got their birria taco, lengua taco, and Carne asada taco for about $18 with tax, and I was completely stuffed by the end. The portion sizes are huge and they put a huge dollop of guacamole on top. The Carne asada was a bit chewier, so I recommend their beef tounge taco instead. The birria taco was also very good, but can get a bit messy because of all the sauce. I made the mistake of waiting 15 minutes to eat it because I was just so full, and by the time I got to it, the tortillas were starting to rip. The minute you sit down, they offer you chips and salsa, be warned, their salsa has a kick!! But it was so good, I kept eating. Their menu is extensive and ther are so many options, but their tacos really shine. Wonderful place to get some amazing tacos, and it's guaranteed to fill you up.

A hole in the wall in Jackson Heights. So many interesting places here. I've lived here all my life but had not stepped foot into this place. Mainly due to the fact, that I don't speak Spanish whatsoever but staff was very welcoming and helpful. I've been craving authentic tacos (cause the Homemade Taqueria a block away doesn't satisfy my cravings) I've decided to try this place and I'm so glad I did. As soon as you sit down, the waitress brought me nachos to munch on. The prices here. Come now. I'm surprised that it's so reasonable and portions are huge for the price you pay. I like how the menu is very descriptive and illustrative. I've decided to go for the pico de gallo (side $5), 2 carne asada tacos (team guacamole here!), a nice pretty drink (forgotten the name) complete with cute decor since I went on July 4th. I've throughly enjoyed my time here. I'm looking forward to coming here again and trying out the whole menu c:

This was one of the stops in my mini food crawl of Jackson Heights and I absolutely loved it. I got the lengua taco and an al pastor. The portions were quite large and the meats were so tender. They held so much flavor and it felt like it all disappeared way too quickly. Next time I return, I plan to try their other menu items as well but this was genuinely so delicious.

Good service. Good food. Good price. They also gave you free nachos upon sitting down.

I could have sworn I wrote a review for Taqueria Coatzingo before but apparently not! I've been coming here for yearssss! I've celebrated so many friends' birthdays here, and have come here just for great authentic Mexican food! They never disappoint. Tacos: Their tacos are fantastic and HUGE; totally stuffed and delicious! They have a nice variety of tacos on their menu. The hard part, as usual, is picking which ones to order. I mean, how many of these huge tacos can you eat?! lol They're usually served with a side of chopped onions, cilantro and lime wedges; if you don't get this, definitely ask them for it. And there are several kinds of hot sauce on the table; pick which one suits you, or have your tacos without hot sauce. Either way, these tacos are delicious and so satisfying! Soups (all served with a side of warm Tortillas): There are soooo many delicious soups on their menu! My fave is always the Mole Verde Res Soup. It's a slightly spicy beef rib soup; with root vegetables and corn. Another great soup is their Birria Soup. It comes with soooo much meat! (But only meat; no veg). A friend ordered their Chicken Soup but was disappointed; describing it as bland and boring. Obviously, not recommended! lol I've also tried some of their entrees, and they were all very good. They have a huge menu, and everything sounds delicious. So the hard part is picking what to order. The restaurant has expanded over the years; taking over the space of the establishment next door. It looks small when you first walk in, but know that there is a doorway towards the back that connects both dining rooms. So this place is huge; great for big groups. Service & hospitality is great but be warned, not everyone speaks English. So have patience! If one server doesn't understand you, there is always someone else there to help. Service is always friendly and efficient. P.S. they have a fantastic Horchata!

Chips and Salsa
Samantha D.

I've been trying to find good tacos in NYC, and my search led me to Taqueria Coatzingo. Came on a Tuesday at 11am. There were a few tables seated inside, but otherwise a little empty. Upon seating, I was served chips and salsa. Had to be the best part of the meal. The salsa is so fresh and flavorful, and the chips are thin and perfectly crunchy. I could get full off that alone. Ordered two tacos. The lengua was super tender, but it could have been seasoned a little better. The al pastor seasoning was so well, but it was just the tiniest bit dry. I wanted some pineapple pieces to accompany it, but there were none offered. Limes and radishes were given on the side. Flour tortillas held up the tacos nicely, and there were made pretty thin, so I appreciated that the tacos were served with two tortillas. The tacos are huge. Two was more than enough for me including the chips and salsa. One of the better tacos I've had in NYC but still has a little to be desired.

The tacos were absolutely amazing!!! My goodness, we have been eating average tacos our entire lives. I ordered two tacos (carne asada and carnitas), and they were honestly the best tacos I've eaten in my life. The tortilla was soft and warm, the meat was perfectly cooked, and the tacos were heaping with ingredients. Each taco is $4.25, and they're HUGE. If you dine in, you get chips and salsa for free. The food is amazing here, and I'd love to try more of their dishes another time. The service is fast, and there are plenty of tables. The restaurant has a casual, bustling vibe.

Frozen Mango Marg during Happy Hour ($6)
Kevin T.

Taqueria Coatzingo has some of the best tacos in NY - big fan of their Al Pastor and Lengua tacos in particular. All their tacos come with guac and are piled high with meat In general - the portions are generous, the food is great, and the people are friendly. Make sure to ask for the red and green sauces in the squeeze bottles! Also - they have Happy Hour until 7:30pm! $6 drinks

Skirt steak plate
Jake Z.

Decent mexican food but below average for Jackson Heights. You'd think you would be wow'd by every mexican restaurant in this neighborhood but this place was definitely a bit disappointing... even though it was all filled with locals. The skirt steak plate was very meh. The guacamole was watery, there was a large splatter of beans that had no taste, and the skirt steak had a dull taste. The shrimp nacho platter was also below average. Despite all the toppings, everything was just very bland and tasteless. The only good thing is the crispy bread they provide alongside the platter. I've never had anything like it in mexican cuisine before so it was a pleasant surprise. The ambiance of the restaurant is old and run down but also very homely and gives off an authentic feel. The service was pretty good overall as we got our food quickly.

I hope you guys are not closed. Gate was down and number went to vmail. My fave spot to order at 1-2am that actually delivers. Open?

Closed for construction

Can we place orders online? I don't see a website. Where can we order for delivery?

The best way is to call them directly. And if i am not mistaken they have Door Dash which I dont recommend, too many hidden fees

So this place is like all the hype is about it…read more Very good service Very clean The food is different and very quick , tasty and leaves you wanting more . Position are a bit small for a whole in the wall like this and prices are high especially on the tacos but that's because the quality seems really good and fresh and effort put into it. I will definitely try to come back And come early no reservations have to wait in lines cold or warm you will have to. Maybe they should open another spot or expand but that's their business .

Came here on a Friday night and was seated immediately, but the place was busy! By the time we…read moreleft, there was a line waiting to be seated. The menu is entirely in Spanish but the waiters can help if needed. We ordered the Gobernador taco, a half dozen shrimp, the regular guacamole and the aguachiles verdes. The Gobernador was a large size - really more like a mini quesadilla than a taco in my mind. It was flavorful and filled with seafood. The half dozen shrimp were cooked well, but a little hard and messy to peel. The guac was good, a little oily but tasty. The aguachiles were really good but borderline too spicy for me. The spice continued to build as I ate them and it did feel less enjoyable but it was good to start. My main grievance with this restaurant was how loud it was. I was yelling and struggling to hear what my friend or the waiter said, but the food was delicious. Maybe if it were less crowded it would be ok, but definitely not a great atmosphere for having a conversation.

This is one of those places that u may not notice since there is so much around the area, one day…read morewe decided to give it a try. They offer a different special for any day of the week, first time around on a Thursday Margaritas special , Tamarind & Mango nice big glass great margaritas, good tasty & nice & strong They start u off with some cake pieces, has a banana bread taste very good. Apps , we tried the Tostones con Birria very good great tasting meat & Chorizo Mac & cheese , also very good. Main dishes , Al pastor tacos & Chicken Burrito were both very good. Next time we stopped by for brunch, we got the bottomless option tried the Sangrita white, good sangrita price wise makes sense assuming u drinking more than 3-4 glasses a person. On the food Carnitas Benedict & short rib hash were both very tasty. For dessert gave the Tres Leches a try not bad, just the right amount of sweet. Another brunch visit & we tried Paloma spritz, good & Mexican coffee, pretty strong in taste. Chicken & waffles topped with bacon, very good chicken good combo dish. & the Lady's enchiladas great taste the enchiladas w the green sauce & cheese on top. Good size restaurant, small bar area towards the back, simple but colorful decor. Service overall has been good, they are attentive. Reasonable prices & u get a decent amount of food. This place has been around for some time, happy we discovered it recently overall good vibe, food & drinks, we will continues to visit from time to time.

After having dinner, my friend and I were walking around when we came across "Ruta Oaxaca Mexican…read moreCuisine." Ironically, earlier while trying to decide where to go for dinner, I had sent this restaurant to my friend but we ended up going somewhere else and came here for drinks afterward. The drinks were really good! We tried the "Sexy Oaxaca," which consists of 7 Misterios Doba-Yej Mezcal, Cointreau, grilled pineapple, mint agave, fresh lemon, and warm salt. This drink takes your taste buds on a ride. It starts off light and refreshing with the mezcal throughout, then finishes with a smoky effect from the pineapple since it's lit. It was really good!! I also tried the "VIP Old Fashion," made with Patrón Extra Añejo, Nixta corn liqueur, Angostura, and orange bitters. This was also good and was smoked prior to being served, giving it a smoky aftertaste. It's definitely a drink you sip slowly. Although we arrived about an hour and a half before closing, the waiter was very polite and professional. They also didn't rush us out once it was closing time, which I appreciated. There were other customers still there enjoying themselves as well. I will definitely be back for dinner. I'm very curious to see what the food is like. I really enjoyed the drinks.

I've had Ruta Oaxaca bookmarked for awhile and finally got around to trying it out. The atmosphere…read morewas great and the music was popping. Service wise it was alright. Nothing bad, but I felt like it could've been a bit better overall. The food was good though, I ordered the mixtos tacos, which let's you pick three different tacos from the menu. It was around $23, which is a little pricey. But the tacos were a decent size and definitely filling. My favorite thing I tried was the chori queso. I never had it before and it was honestly the standout dish for me. I would order that again. I also tried the enquites which is street corn. It had a bit of a burnt taste. I know some people enjoy that smokey flavor, but it really wasn't for me. Overall, it was a nice time and for some of the dishes too.
