Everything was made fresh and had great flavors . The serving size is perfect if you want to share or not it's not to much . The nachos have Mexican street corn on them my first time having nachos like this but it was delicious. Guacamole was fresh and very delicious. The location is definitely a hidden gem it's very clean and cozy BUT ITS VERY COLD I would have loved to stay and eat but it was just as cold inside as it was outside . The staff is very friendly and they literally will make anything any way you want. Price point is not expensive it's decently priced for the servings you get.

This place use to be my favorite. It has gotten worse every time! I didn't mind it being pricey and…read moreI had to go pick it up because we are in the borderline of where they're willing to deliver. But the attitude and the quality is just not what it use to be. From forgetting part of my order, charging me, and then just a shrug on the shoulder, saying they don't know what happened, denying they made any mistake. Nonetheless, today was the last time we're ordering from them. Thought it would be nice to order tacos first cinco de mayo. This is the crap I got. No topping no condiments no sauce cold dry cardboard like tortillas/meat. So much for happy tacos.

Best tacos ever! Probably the best I've tried on Staten Island. I was craving for some this morning…read moreafter breakfast and walked up the hill to Taqueria El Gallo Azteca. The experience was very pleasant, and service was quick (I paid and I had a few minutes to go across the street to the Mexican bakery to get two cream puffs for a $1 while they make my tacos) while they made my food. I stopped by at around 11am and the place was empty but there are plenty of seats available in the taqueria with lots of Mexican drinks options. The ambiance was quiet. I asked for two cacti tacos, also known as the Taco Azteca at this taqueria as recommended by the other Yelpers. I started with two because I heard that their tacos run big. These tacos were enormous and I was full eating after just one taco and saved the other one for an afternoon snack!! They also give you a generous cup of green sauce, which is one of my favorites! Because normally when getting a cactus taco in the other boroughs, they only give you a straight vegetarian taco only, but I was very surprised it came with a big chunk of meats. For $10-12 for two big giant tacos, I feel like I am getting fed very well. I'll definitely be back again to try their lamb/goat soup as recommended by the other Yelpers.

That's definitely best Tacos in Island. Portions are big with fair prices. They cooking in front of…read moreyou. My favorite is taco Azteca, you literally full from one taco. But the most important thing- they not cheap (like everywhere else) with green sauce. Definitely will come back

It is a small hole in the wall place but damn they stuff the tacos good. I got the lamb tacos and…read moreit was great. The soft tortillas were perfect. Not too thick to be mushy and not too thin to rip apart easily. I had 3 tacos and I had enough meat to create a 4th. My husband got the Alambre quesadilla ( beef, cheese, onion, and peppers). He loved it so much that it was demolished in 10 minutes. Excited to go back for more =D

Let me start off by saying, it's hard to get decent Mexican food on my side of Staten Island. I…read moretried this place and the food was okay. So I started ordering from there. Ordered there a bunch actually. The orders I've placed were through Grubhub though. There in lies the problem. It was always a problem with the order. The final straw came when I ordered an item and (like other times before) called to tell me that what I ordered is actually what I ordered and what I did order was $3 extra. So rather than just admit the mistake and just eat the $3, the woman on the phone kept wanting me to just take what I didn't want. So now I tell her I'm fed up and I just want a refund. She says she can't because it's through Grubhub. I ask to speak to the owner, GUESS WHAT, I was speaking to the owner! I told her that wasn't true. She then starts in with the "why can't I be the owner", implying I'm sexist. The reason I know it isn't true because from prior experience, the owner was a man. So I'm done with this place. The food was just okay, the nickel and dime routine on customers isn't worth the bland Mexican food. If you're looking to have okay Mexican food with horrible service and attitude, then I guess this place is for you. As for me, I rather starve than eat from here again.

The cheese quesadilla was exactly what you'd expect - can't mess that up. The chopped cheese was very flavorful but did not have nearly enough meat - more bread than anything. The Nashville chicken tenders were what we looked forward to the most, but unfortunately they were a bit of a let down - all unevenly fried & not seasoned enough. Looking to revisit this place in the future - hoping for a better outcome.
