Was craving some tacos and remembered this little gem was close by. It's a small restaurant with limited space for seating but it has a lot of charm and you can tell it is family owned and run. Walked in to place my order and was met with two chill guys behind the counter who were so patient and helpful while I tried to figure out what I wanted. I ordered a few chicken, steak, and mushroom tacos and an order of Chorizo nachos. Everything is fresh to order so it did take some time for my meal to be ready. Every taco comes with diced onion, cilantro and lime. The chicken taco was well seasoned. The "steak" wasn't steak but rather shredded beef, maybe brisket.. but it was really delish. My favorite was the mushroom taco; it was seasoned so well and had the best texture. The nachos were okay but the cheese that was used solidified quickly so it was difficult to get a good ratio of anything on a chip. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and will stop by again for the mushroom tacos! read more

Overall, this place was just ok. The tacos weren't bad, but they lacked flavor and were a lot smaller than expected. Service was so-so; music was a little annoying. read more

The portions can get very small and there weren't any toppings in my shrimp tacos, but it's charred well, I definitely wouldn't recommend ordering tacos for delivery unless you're in a pinch. It looks like something you can make yourself for a dollar but they sell it for $10. read more

Te Quiero - Shrimp Taco - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Rockaway, New York

This spot is like a little shack that needs some spicing up. Windows are dirty. Doesn't really look welcoming. Food was okay. My kid had some chicken tacos and I had a chicken quesadilla. Everything came out just plain with no umfff. Definitely missing some sour cream. Some pico. The server brought us some sauces that were watered down and didn't taste good at all. The experience was just okay ... if we weren't hungry and didn't have a long ride home I would've skipped it. But I've had worse. But they definitely need some help. read more

Tasty no-frills taco spot. If your looking for a quick tasty bite this one might his the spot. The tacos were smallish but delicious and made quickly. I ordered inside and they brought the food out for me which was very nice. The menu has a nice range of juices and smoothies which all sound really yummy. Im sure they can custom blend one for you also. The service was ultra friendly, which is always appreciated! Exterior seating is has a dedicated area with a few tables and some flowers. Inside the ambiance and the vibe is non existent so stay focus on the food. Given the limited amount of food options in the vicinity this one stands out. I'll be back! read more

Stopped by as wifey loves Mexican food. Was actually kinda surprised at first glance. But super simple place. Menu is on the wall behind the cashier. Nothing fancy but makes it easy to order. Staff were super friendly as well. Ordered the steak tacos and the shrimp tacos. Both were tasty but I'm not used to the small sizes. Are tacos normally this small? read more

Gorgeous little cafe just off the beach walk. Super friendly staff. I ordered the taco special (three for $8 - meh, a little dry and plain) and the piña colada smoothie (which was so good I went back later and got a second one!) This might be the type of cafe where the drinks are way better than the food. But super convenient and lovely friendly staff! read more

Amazing!! pure deliciousness in the streets of Rockaway. Hands-down best place nearby.

Visited this place with a friend and we decided to grab lunch before heading to the beach. It was really good, the tacos were super flavorful and the avocado salad was really good too. Tacos are a little bit small but definitely delicious, they definitely are worth the money. read more

So good, really good prices, owners are super nice. One of the only places I could get birria tacos, 10/10

I went here when they first opened but wasn't impressed. So today we decided to try it again and this time I was very impressed. We ordered the 3 steak tacos and 3 shrimp tacos. The tacos were filled with meat and topped with a cilantro/onion mix. There was lime quarters and hot sauce as well. Both the shrimp and steak were tender and perfectly cooked. We will definitely being going back here, we only down the street read more

I came here when I was enjoying a day of sun at the beach on Far Rockaway and had the sudden urge for some tacos. I ended up looking for a taco spot on yelp and this was one of the recommendations in the area so I decided to try it out. They have a reasonable taco special of 3 tacos of your choosing (steak, chorizo, chicken or mushrooms) for a set price of $9. I initially wanted some steak tacos but they said they ran out of steak. I settled for some chorizo tacos instead. The tacos are very small but compact. They did lack a little flavor (some salt would have been nice) but were overall good. What I really enjoyed about this place was the customer service. I was served by two young men who I can only assume are the sons of the owner. They were very courteous and easy going to talk to. I asked for a glass of tap water and one of them had no problem giving me a nice tall glass with some ice in it. I wasn't able to sit inside due to COVID but they did have some chairs out on the front of the restaurant where I sat and devoured my tacos. If I am ever in the area again I will certainly come back and try something else on their menu. Hopefully next time they will have some steak tacos for me to try out the next time around! read more

Te Quiero - Had to make someone else eat it Bcz smh horrible - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Rockaway, New York

Sometimes you just need a street taco. Or 3. There's a few places around Rockaway to get them and Te Quire is probably somewhere in the middle of that pack. They'd definitely move up higher if they used double tortillas; one is just not sufficient to hold everything together. The beef, pork and chicken are kinda non-descript, but the standout are the shrimp tacos. Highly seasoned shrimp, never overcooked. My gf says the mushroom tacos are some of the best vegan around. I trust her there. And the avocado salad is always cold and fresh. Te Quiero is also generally less crowded than some of the other options, which can be nice. read more

We ordered chicken and shrimp tacos, steak burrito, steak quesadilla, and birria tacos. All I'll say is that the steak quesadilla was best to dip into birria sauce. Suggest ordering delivery on the earlier side and do NOT Uber eats... read more

I come here every time I head to Rockaway and can easily say it's the best taco spot by the beach. Their tacos & smoothies are amazing and served up in such a cute atmosphere. I hope love how they also offer vegetarian options, so there's something for everyone! This last time I went there was a problem with my order and the customer service was outstanding. Totally recommend if you're in the area. read more

We just ordered an amazing taco feast from Te Quiero, and I can honestly say I am so shocked we haven't heard more praise for this amazing little spot! The delivery was hot, fresh, and fast, and the food was killer! We got shrimp, chicken, and chorizo tacos, my favorite was the shrimp- so perfectly prepared , not chewy at all, the flavor was fresh and perfectly seasoned, and then the steak quesadilla -- the steak-- oh my goodness, the flavor and texture was out of this world! Tender and juicy , kind of like ropa vieja, and the cheese was great, not overwhelming , not weird like a fake cheese product. Just so good! This will definitely be our go to for fresh , delicious tacos from now on! I can't wait to try everything else! read more

Excellent service! I really enjoyed the mushroom tacos and the pina colada smoothie. The area was very nice and close to the beach

Superb, I got the pork tacos. 100/100 and I know tacos. A must if your in the rockaway and are looking for something more authentic than surf club. read more

After receiving messages regarding my order being received and prepared, I received another message stating the food was on its way and will arrive between 8:00 pm and 8:10 pm. At 8:10 pm I receive a call stating, "something happened to the driver." and he can either cancel my order or... as I waited to hear another option, there was none. Then he confirmed he cancelled the order and hit the "food being delivered" button by mistake. Although he admitted his mistake, he was unapologetic and hung up. I was charged for my food and have not been refunded. This is totally unacceptable. I do not recommend this place to anyone based on the low priority placed on their customers, or at this point former customer. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I ordered a chicken rice bowl and a mushroom taco through seamless. The taco was $3 and it was literally 3 small bites...so you're essentially paying $1 per small bite of just mushroom and tortilla. The rice bowl was a small container of a ton of rice, a little chicken, and 2 teeny slices of avocado. It had absolutely NO taste. The chicken was finished in a couple bites and I ended up essentially eating $9 worth of rice. The most unsatisfying meal I've ever had. DO NOT GO HERE. I should add that this was in the middle of the COVID pandemic and NONE of the workers were wearing GLOVES OR MASKS. pretty sure they made up their sanitary rating. Shut this place down. read more

When you get off of the Ferry in Rockaway, walk up to Rockaway Beach Blvd., turn right and walk a couple of blocks to about Beach 111th St. - You will be amazed. They really care about food. We stop in and brings friends, every time we are in Rockaway. They are consistently good, and everyone we bring there, loves the food. read more

I never leave reviews but i love this spot. Try to stop before I leave the beach each time. The owner is super sweet and friendly. Amazing pernil tacos on Sundays usually (not sure if that's the case during Covid). Can't go wrong with whatever you order, it's all fresh. Grab a juice and tacos and enjoy. read more

Delicious tacos at a reasonable price. The vegan option is really saucy mushrooms which are great. The men who work here are very accommodating when we had to move chairs around and had two dogs with us (we ate outside). read more

This little spot has the freshest, most delicious Mexican food! I had the avocado salad. The ingredients were elegantly simple and fresh. I'm a vegetarian and was pleased to see they had vegetarian tacos - mushrooms which were seasoned and cooked to perfection. My friend is celiac and had shrimp tacos that were delicious and completely safe for her to eat. Highly recommend. read more

This place absolutely sucks I ordered a chicken bowl, Avocado salad, and a sprite over 2 hours ago and never received it. I contacted the restaurant and they informed me that they were sorry they were extremely busy, and that the Uber eats app wasn't working that the would call me when my food arrives. Well I never received my food and when I called back over 2 hours later I was told that the delivery person was outside my house and he tried to call me , all lies this place is terrible don't spend a dime with them they're totally unprofessional and incompetent now I haven't received a refund yet smh. read more

amazing food, even better service! our server was the most helpful and nicest ever, and the mushroom tacos were the best post-beach meal I could've asked for! read more

Idk who is writing these reviews but they are lies! This is the worst place I've been for tacos! The Barria tacos where average at best. I got beans and rice on the side and it was absolutely flavorless. They open at 11 I got there at 3 and no beef for tacos so I got chicken. Just terrible! Go ahead try it if you like lol read more

Dios mío this place the cats pajamas ! Had burri tacos, which are pretty much the Latin version of a French dip. I was close to drinking the gravy when I was done with my tacos it was so good. Ordered a quesadilla, which, let's face it, are usually pretty meh everywhere else, not here. They're flipping incredible. I will order again and often. read more

We ordered 3 shrimp tacos and 3 vegan tacos. They were very flavorful but super tiny! Three tacos anywhere else would've been more than enough but it felt like an appetizer. It should be noted somewhere how small they are. 5 stars for flavor. read more

Smells amazing from outside. Smells even better once you're inside. Can't wait to eat.

Food is great but giving this place 2 stars because they are ALWAYS out of key ingredients (like mushrooms and avocados). I've been there once when they had everything on their limited menu available, but since then, each time we've gone back, they are out of something. We even order ahead and they have to call us to cancel because they are out of ingredients. Get it together! You've been open long enough to figure out how to stock up appropriately. read more

When it comes to the food, I have absolutely ZERO complaints. Probably the best burrito I have ever had in all honesty. They make quality food here. My only complaint is the time I receive my food. I have ordered pick up and delivery here at least 10 times and not once has it been on time. My last order which wasn't a big order at all, took 2 hours. The employees who work there are super nice as well. Again, my only complaint is just time and nothing else. Definitely recommend! read more

The smoothies and juice always make me feel better after enjoying them!! But the burritos are my favorite this side of the Mississippi! I've never been less than impressed with Te Quiero's menu!! I love it!!;) read more

Got a spread of tacos with all the meat options and a steak burrito, it was all delicious! I will 100% be ordering again from here.

The cooks and servers here don't wear masks/face coverings, or gloves of any kind. When we noticed and politely asked them to put a mask on they laughed and didn't put it on. We couldn't eat our food- if any of them had covid every customer would get it. Sucks to have to leave a warning like this but they earned it. read more
