5 stars hands down! And this review is only based on my slice of tres leches but if that's amazing ... imagine the food? This place is conveniently located a few steps away from the Astoria blvd n/w train station. My $8 was well spent and I would buy another slice today. I was in the mood for dessert yesterday but I will be back for actual food. Btw this place was packed! And the staff is so friendly. See you soon Veracruzano! read more

We stopped into this spot after my arrival at Laguardia and taking M60 select to the train. I'd had a great time in Chicago and was pretty hungry after my flight: My partner and I have been talking about going to Queens just to eat and this was our chance. This place is so popular, the waiter was buried in delivery orders by the kitchen when we arrived so we seated ourselves. The waiter was really nice and I overordered: The last time I saw cactus (nopales) on the menu was in Texas, so I wasn't about to let the chance pass me by. My partner ordered the pork chop plate and a bottle of the Mexican Coke: The waiter came by saying they were out (it was past 8:30 pm on a weekend night). Atmosphere-wise it's small to medium-spaced spot really close to the Astoria Blvd stop on the N,W subway line. read more

Veracruzano - Pancita. White Pozole with Pork. - Tacos Near Me - New York, New York

The value is clear, inexpensive yet decent Mexican food, unfortunately it's not great Mexican food, it just does the job well for NYC. The enchiladas are tasty and have great flavor, huaraches very good, all the pork we had was good and the shrimp well prepared. Nothing however will blow you away. It's all decent Mexican food, and the price is what is keeping it acceptable. read more

Very friendly staff, gave complementary chips while I waited. Mexican pork chop was very tasty.

This review is only for one taco order experience though is be willing to try other things in the menu SERVICE 5/5 When you walk in there are plenty of takeout menus to the right on a table, so I grabbed a menu to take a look at since I wanted to know what to order before waking up to the counter. The owner was very nice and came up to me while I looked at the menu and asked if I needed help or had any questions. I asked if he had any recommendations in terms of tacos and he recommended the shrimp taco. I did note that they had a lot of fish and shrimp options on the menu but I'm allergic to shrimp so I asked him what else he would recommend. He asked what I liked and then recommended the al pastor and said that if I like grilled chicken he could also have it cooked with onion and tomato to add some more moisture and flavor to it so it's not just plain grilled chicken. I asked about the bistec which he also said they offer cooking with onion so it's mixed with grilled onion. He took my order from there and said it would be about 5 minutes. SEATING There were a good number of tables inside that could sit several groups of 4 for families inside and it looked like there was some outdoor seating as well. I took a seat near the counter while waiting for my food. It was 3pm so it was an awkward kind is quiet time to come in. FOOD ~3.6/5 So for the tacos I feel like I could rate individual elements on their own. First, I appreciate that on the side they come with lime, radish slices, and some shredded lettuce. I had guac added to each for an additional 50¢ * GUAC, 4/5 - Solid guac! Had enough salt, was not watery, and had some chunky pieces just how I like it. Could only only be better if it was freshly made but that only really happens when restaurants make it tableside * CORN TORTILLA 3/5 - So I know it's weird to rate the taco tortilla, but I noted that the corn tortillas seemed a little thicker than I'm used to and it might be that maybe they weren't toasted on the griddle like other places, but that felt like it impacted the overall feel of the taco itself ((this seems like an easy fix though!)) * POLLO (grilled chicken) Taco, 3.5/5 - I think you need to take grilled chicken for what it is, just grilled chicken. I usually don't just get a chicken taco unless I'm trying to be healthier (which I am at the moment). I did appreciate that it had the extra onion and little bit of tomato cooked with it though but the guac on top really helped carry it as well as adding lime and the verde sauce they give on the side with it. * AL PASTOR (pork w/ pineapple chunks) 4/5 - definitely more flavorful than the pollo, which is too be expected. I'm glad I saved it for last. The pork was tender versus some places the cook really dry. OVERALL it like other reviews really enjoyed this place for other foods besides their tacos and not for just grilled chicken so I'd definitely be interested in trying other things of the menu! Unfortunately I'm allergic to shrimp and not a big fish person and that seems to be their specialty but I'm come back for some pork dishes! read more

Get the quesadilla! Tortilla is handmade and so delicious. Prices are really affordable for the neighborhood too. The enchiladas are also delicious with the salsa verde. read more

What got me in the door? They have sopes on their menu!! I opted instead for a huarache and was not disappointed. Great service. They even made husband a version of some gringo tacos that don't exist on their menu. Food was delicious. Sauces were not blow your taste buds off spicy but added good flavor to the dish. There might be 7 tables in the whole place. Not a great spot for large groups but still worth the trip. read more

Veracruzano is the latest Mexican rendition to inhabit that address. When I went there in November, they offered a standard Mexican menu full of beans, rice, and platters of the usual wrapped flavors. eg, burritos, tortillas and quesadilla. I ended up ordering the chicken quesadilla. The quality is not outstanding, but it is satisfying with reasonably good service. Overall, it was filling but not worth a 2nd visit. read more

To preface, the food and service were okay. Stopped by to grab a few tacos around 10pm. The menu shows $4.50 for tacos and pictures a plate of three tacos. I asked the worker for clarification on how many tacos you get in a single order and was under the assumption it was three. I ordered a plate of pollo and Al pastor. I thought I would be charged $9 for two orders at $4.50/each and was actually charged $30 for the six tacos. To note: I received carnitas instead of Al pastor. read more

Excellent authentic Mexican tacos and very well priced. The waiter provided us with great service. Will definitely be back!

Delicious food cooked fresh. The chuletas were excellent, the whole fish fantastic. The cactus imported in from Mexico! I have to go back for the fresh jugo de tamarindo. I got the jarrito! Ricardo who works there is a great guy and super helpful. My best to him and his Family from me and my mom! He remembered my mother who always comes in without me, for the enchiladas. I will stop back in, for sure. They are right under the train, super convenient, and across from the M60. I ate in. Place is cute and clean as a whistle. You will be glad you came! read more
