Yummy Taco has been a fan favorite for a very long time between my friends and me. We used to order from here all the time, or sometimes just walk over when we lived in the neighborhood. It's one of those places that feels familiar in the best way. Comfort food that never really lets you down. I love how much they've grown and evolved over the years. They've done so much with this place, but it still gives you that real, good-deal Tex-Mex feel. The menu has expanded a lot and now includes more trending and popular items, which makes it great because there's truly a little something for everybody. Still, my go-to favorites never change: the taco salad bowl in that crunchy, delicious tostada shell, the chicken tacos, the steak tacos, and every now and then the shrimp tacos if I'm feeling fancy. I always ask for extra sour cream and salsa. Speaking of salsa, the recipe has definitely changed over the years. It's gotten a bit spicier. While it's still really good, I'll admit that as I've gotten older, I can't handle the heat quite like I used to. That said, it's still part of the experience and adds to the bold flavor Yummy Taco is known for. Yummy Taco is one of those places that grows with you. It's nostalgic, filling, affordable, and consistently delicious. Definitely a staple if you love solid Tex-Mex with plenty of options and personality. read more

-Build Your Own Burrito Bowls, protein choice: honey chipotle chicken -Chicken Street Tacos This place screams out Tex Mex so for anyone looking for authentic Mexican cuisine, please move along. The food is about standard of what any Tex Mex would taste like. I'm not a fan of their honey chipotle chicken, it was tooo sweet. Their chicken "street tacos" are actually worse than street tacos you see in those food carts. Would not recommend their tacos. read more

These places tend to be hit or miss, but this time it was a straight up home run. Yummy Taco was a very pleasant surprise on a recent lunch order with co-workers. Had the beef quesabirria which was hot fresh and super flavorful. But what put it over the top believe it or not was the accompanying sauces. They had a bunch to choose from, but I went with the coco lime mayo and the salsa verde aioli. Coco was pretty good but not necessarily the best pairing with this dish. The salsa verde aioli however was a match made in heaven - I was genuinely annoyed that I didn't have more of it. Also got a bag of their fresh made tortilla chips with mango salsa and let me tell you that was one good salsa, perfect hit of cilantro to compliment the sweetness of the mango, truly an enjoyable treat. Will definitely be back read more

Mediocre bland Mexican food and rude unfriendly service. I like going to local businesses but can't recommend this place. Food was awful.

I've ordered from here a few times. The food is decent. Nothing too spectacular. If you're in the mood for a quick Taco, nothing crazy. This is an option for you especially if you are on a budget. The ambiance is exactly what you would expect. read more

I ordered supreme grilled steak quesadillas. It was amazingly good. It is crispy outside and so juicy inside. I don't go to Fresh Meadow that often but whenever I go to Fresh Meadow, I will be stopping this place. read more

Staff is friendly and the burrito bowls are surprisingly really good! Gives chipotle a run for their money.

Great wings all flavors are excellent!!!! So are the tacos and burritos they are very fast with getting your order ready

Very pleasant owners always get my food correct and quality of meat taste good. Delivery service is good as well. read more

I really enjoyed the food here. We got soft tacos, hard tacos, and loaded nachos. The beef is pretty spicy so be aware of that in case you don't enjoy spicy. The steak tacos were delicious and not spicy so get those if you prefer non-spice. The food was ready in about 15 minutes. There is metered street and side street parking so get delivery because parking can be tough around there. It is basically just a store front/takeout place so no seating available. Lastly, the prices were good and the staff was friendly. read more

I'm still house sitting for my folks in Fresh Meadows and ordered some delivery for lunch the other day. I remember having some pretty good tex mex from New Yummy Taco years ago and was excited when I found them again on Yelp with online ordering as an option. When I opened it up, I immediately thought "hmmm it looks like they forgot the guac". Upon inspection, I realized that they did not forget however I kind of wish they did. It wasn't green, it was gray/yellow. I was very nervous but did one of those quick tongue taste tests you see old-school cops do in the movies, when they see oil residue on the street or a mysterious powder on the floor. I've been in the restaurant service industry and I would never serve a customer anything looking like this. Overall, the steak was rubbery and the entire thing needed a ton of sauce. Perhaps it's because it was delivery but it just wasn't what I remembered. I feel bad writing this so I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves. read more

Did some take outs twice, both time I had a very bad experience. First of all when you call in to place a orders, this lady who answered was very rude and annoyed. I asked three simply questions regarding there menu, sadly they don't know there own menu very well. When I asked about the menu the women sounded very annoyed. First question I asked regarding their lunch menu, are burrito part of the lunch menu. The minute I mention lunch special, they said the lunch special was over, mean while lunch time was on the menu, between 11:30 - 3:30pm I called in at 3pm. Second question I asked was, what's the portion size of there side order jalapeños?. The lady said side order cost 3$ to $6 from 4 ounce to 8 ounce. What I was kinda confused was on there menu, add on is $1. The menu was very confusing and deceiving. First of all, you walking to a Mexican spot, jalapeño should be free, this place not only over charge for jalapeño, they have three different prices for jalapeños on the menu. Last question I asked was, if it was delivered a block away, is it free. The answer was no, there is a delivery charge is $7, wtf ! And that does not including tip. They want me to pay $7 and on to of that tips for delivery, within 0.7 miles. I am so close to this place, from then I stopped ordering from this spot. read more

Although this wasn't my childhood/teenage days. It sure reminds me of it! Cost of food isn't too shabby and portions are huge! Is it insta photo-able. Probably not. Is it trending?! Umm... We didn't eat it cause it was "trending" we ate food back in the days cause we LIKE EM! So yeah! If you like something quick and affordable this spot is the place to be. Can it compare to the 18$ tacos in the city. Probably not! but you get what you paid for! Still good in my book! read more

I love coming to Yummy Taco! It reminds me of my college days. The food is Tex-Amex. And yes, in New York City that typically equates to Asian people making some delicious Mexican fast food. The food is fresh and prepared as you wait. The menu is extensive and you can let them know what to leave in or take out. They have sodas and Snapple's as well. Parking can be tight on Union Turnpike (beware of the speed cameras as you race to catch a spot). I usually get one of the dinner specials, burritos, or a greasy taco (sorry gym membership, I can't help myself). I also believe they deliver if you live in the area. read more

Cheap, fast, and filling! Although they're cash-only, they were my go-to for quick lunch orders during busy work hours when I only had 15-20 minutes to eat back when my office was right across the street. Without fail, I would always get their grilled steak and guacamole combination plate - the best bang for your buck, for sure. read more

Just decent. It wasn't the best but you get what you get for the price. The guacamole didn't have enough avocado and just didn't taste that great in my steak fajita. The chicken steak was not bad but everything else inside the soft taco was bland. My husband liked the tortilla from the fajita though. The super fajitas appeared and looked like a big portion but underneath all the good stuff was just rice. Again, my husband praised the tortilla because it actually smelled and tasted fresh unlike other places he's been to. So I think we'd only come here as a last resort for food if we can't think of anything else to eat. Its not totally bad, just minor things here and there. It's ok to eat this once in a while. Shrugs.

Local Mexican take out that's delivers randomly. I had to pick up and I live only a few blocks away. The app refused to allow delivery. When I explained to the people in the store, they we unable to understand my problem. The food seems better on certain days so there's no consistency to the quality nor quantity. Stay away from their chili. It was a container of oil and ground beef! For spending $50, I rather go somewhere else read more

ZERO STARS!!!!!!!! Just received my order and was super disappointed. Whoever fulfilled my order was just PURE lazy and careless. I asked for no lettuce yet lettuce was everywhere. Also, one of my 6 tacos had only melted cheese no filling at all. The shrimp in the quesadilla was completely over cooked. I asked for hot sauce on the side but it was put into the tacos and not on the side. Ugh....just completely sloppy. Also, the food wasn't even warm, even though it arrived relatively quickly. I'm never ordering from here again read more

Good food good services. Fair prices. We love ordering from this place. Chicken and bean over rice . My favor.

Food and service always great! Chicken is nice and juicy and tender. Guacamole is on point. read more

Yummy Taco - Grilled Chicken Tostada Salad with a side of guacamole - Tacos Near Me - Fresh Meadows, New York

I'm not basing this review off it being an authentic place, because I knew it wasn't when I ordered. It's takeout food. And it's pretty decent for the price you pay and for being the only Mexican food place in my neighborhood that delivers here. I ordered the Chicken Fajitas, 2 ground beef soft shell tacos and 1 steak & chicken soft shell taco. The food didn't really come hot, more like lukewarm. None of it is really fresh, you can tell they just pre-make everything and throw it together when ordered. You get a lot of it. The ground beef tasted weird, I wasn't a fan. Same for the steak (it all just tasted old and fake). My main issue is that the fajitas barely came with any peppers and onions (which is pretty much what fajitas are, no?). It's mostly rice. I would definitely ask for extra of those and less rice if you order it honestly. Everything else was ok. Not really sure if I would order from here again, probably not. read more

Food is very decent, chili is bad. Affordable prices and great homemade ice tea.

There are no Latinos cooking it. Just Asians. The food lacked flavor. A box of Goya Mexican Rice would have more flavor than this. The rice was dry. The chicken is dry as heck. It's the worst "Mexican" I've tasted. Very disappointed. I would give it a 0 stars if I could. Don't waste your money. Seriously. #disappointing. There's more to add... I ordered the rice, tostado salad, and burrito. On the burrito, the guacamole tastes sour. The same dry rise was used, steak overcooked, etc. that was the worst use of $18.50. Horrible. read more

Most of the stuff I've tried here are good. I love their soft taco dough. It's different from real Mexican tacos, but that's why I think it tastes better! (No offense to Mexican tacos). It IS a bit odd that they're all Asians, making tacos, but they're quite friendly, and they MAKE IT GOOD. They make it right on the spot, right in front of you with their high tech machinery, while you stand there in wonderment. It's a bit scary that they've had 26 violation points but I'm still gonna keep going back! Recommended: quesadillas, basically anything with their soft shells. Prices are great for the food you're getting!! You can order something and go next door to crepe n tearia for a bubble tea. read more

If you order delivery, I hope you're prepared to be hungry for a long time. We placed an order at 12:09 PM. It's now 1:43, where's our food? Never ordering from here again. Edit: food has arrived and was horrible. The guacamole tasted funny and I didn't even try the sickly, brownish pico de gallo. read more

Great food at a great price! I love ordering the Tex-mex ground beef burrito and some cheese fries with a Snapple. I haven't tried anything else but this because it is my favorite! Definitely need to give the other items a go. read more

My go-to when I'm craving Mexican food! Can't beat their prices, especially for the amount of food you get. I've started doing keto but found that you can order the steak and chicken as sides. This time I got it delivered and both the steak and chicken comes piping hot, cut into strips, perfect on top of salad! The steak is okay but the chicken is what's driving this 5-star review - It's seasoned so well and has such a nice crispy texture. read more

Low quality food for cheap. The buffalo wings in particular are so thin with little meat. Better to stop by Qdoba or Hot Peppers within the borough if you want something tastier or more satisfying read more

OMG, New Yummy Taco was simply astonishing. The entire place certainly had a very cool vibe. I am very happy that we got Steak Quesadilla, this was one of their best dishes, very flavorful and delicious. Great enthusiastic service. Love this place already. read more

I order from here all the time. I order the buffalo wings there good and not expensive. I also get the shrimp and vegetable soup. I love that soup it's really good. I've also order the chicken steak and shrimp over rice that's really good. And the give you good portions. Over all no complaints read more

I've been going to this place for probably 10+ years and you can't complain about the quality of the food. The food isn't going to be amazing mexican food but it's good enough to hit the spot. I have a lot of memories with this place and it held up very well. The quality of the food tasted the same as always and the prices are the same since the beginning it was opened. I give this place a lot of credit because I notice real estate has got more expensive in that area and they are still around. Anyway, about the food, I usually would get like the chicken burrito, tostado salad, the 2 tacos w/ fries & soda and I would get their lunch specials. I like their food. I've been reading other peoples reviews and I don't get what they expect for the price they are paying. The owners aren't even that rude either. I give this place a 5/5. read more

For all those haters out there, anyone who takes one look at this place and expects it to be authentic Tex-Mex is really kidding themselves. I've only gotten take-out from here and it's met any expectation I've had for this place. It's nothing special, and they really do charge for every little extra thing. That's hard to complain about though, because the food is super cheap, and it's not terrible. In fact, whatever they use to season their meat, is delicious. I recommend getting something with the grilled steak. It's savory, tender and juicy. Their lunch specials are a really good deal and there's a lot of food. Again, it's no way exceptional. But it's cheap, tasty, and filling. So if you're on a budget, why not? read more

Yummy Taco - Chicken and steak quesadilla - Tacos Near Me - Fresh Meadows, New York

Okay, to start- obviously this place is not "authentic" Mexican food. I mean, it's simply a fast food chain that makes some pretty decent Mexican staples for a great price. I had always been skeptical about ordering from here given it is not authentic and that is easy to tell by just walking by the place. Some friends of mine had told me that the food was actually good so I decided to give it a try. The menu is pretty huge and the prices are incredibly inexpensive. I got a taco salad with grilled chicken for $5 and change!!! That is unheard of truly. AND it was a good portion of food and tasted very good! I couldn't believe I hadn't come here earlier. I can't speak on behalf of anything else on the menu, but the salad and little chicken fajita wrap were both really good and under $8. I love a good find and I think I just found a new local lunch place. read more

Yummy Taco - Delicious taco salad with grilled chicken under $6 - Tacos Near Me - Fresh Meadows, New York

I had a craving for a quesadilla the other night. Seeing as how it was around 11, I realized all the Mexican places where I was were closed, oh but wait not "YUMMY" Taco. I ordered a chicken quesadilla with jalapenos. I quickly glanced around the place to notice the all Asian staff and the less than clean seating area. All of a sudden a loud whirring noise sounded, and I looked to see the dough being flattened in a high tech machine. Soon my quesadilla was being made. A young Asian lad with ear buds in ear and cell phone in hand put a glove on with the other hand and proceeded to make the quesadillas as an older woman (mom?) looked on smiling. I really didn't care as long as my quesadilla tasted good. Well after about 5 dollars later (is that even a good price? i dont think so), I was eating what I hoped to be a delicious quesadilla. I was sadly proven wrong. The cheese had melted into what became a hard crust almost along the edges, and the sour cream had no taste. The chicken tasted alright, but the jalapenos were not a good mix. Street, metered parking that is hard to even get a spot in. Overall a bad experience and a somewhat costly one at that. It might be NEW, but it certainly isn't YUMMY. read more

After perusing Barnes & Nobles, my friend and I were incredibly starving. I've always been a fan of shady Mexican establishments, but this place just gave me the creeps. The portions were great (I got the chicken enchilada, and my friend got the chicken quesadilla which resembled a chicken quesadilla pie instead), but that whirring noise made us fear for our lives. We were positive they were massacring babies/cats/cat-babies in the back there and we were going to be in a real-life reenactment of those Saw movies. I'll probably only come back here because I'm a sucker for pseudo-Mexican food run by Asians, their cheap menu, and large portions. read more

It's a no frills kind of spot. If you head over when it's busy you won't be able to eat there since there isn't much room to sit but I usually do take out anyway. Yelp says they take credit cards....well last time I checked they don't. Not sure whats up with that but there's a Citibank right across the street where you can get some cash. So far the only issue I've had with this place is that they never seem to hold the jalapenos when I ask them too. I don't like them and wish they would stop automatically adding them. Prices are good for the amount of food. Service is speedy, friendliness of the staff is just average. The food itself tastes good, but I think the guacamole is really watered down and they add too many other things to it like tomatoes. Plain guac would be ok for me. Yes, everyone has heard the noise. I guess if it bothers you so much you have the option of waiting for your food outside or checking out some of the nearby stores. read more
