I am shocked that a place like The Stand could go downhill so fast after new ownership…read more They no longer have blackbeans, no beers, it is $7 for a little tray of chips and salsa and the meal we had was horrible. I had a tostada that was on a limp shell that was fried in rancid grease. The beans were so runny that they resembled soup. It had FAKE sour cream on it and about a head of chopped iceberg. My friend's burrito was not even folded. Again, the beans were so runny that the thing fell apart. Something is seriously wrong with your green sauce. It tastes like diesel is in it. What a pity. After eating at the stand for 20 years, I'm not going to return.

First impression after being seated was the strong American/Mexican Sombrero atmosphere throughout which is nothing that I can get excited about as it says to me gringo food fresh out of the microwave. Chips and salsa was ok but lacked any cilantro which I believe contributes to good flavorful salsa. My Tacos Al pastor sided with refried beans and rice were ok however, the tortillas were lacking the tasty pork morsels I expected. (skimpy meat portions) If I ever return, I will stay with fajitas as the portion delivered to our friends was a much better value. Typical menu and beach prices. Not a great experience that I can recommend to people looking for a good meal.

Such a gem! I would definitely return in the near future…read more The server was attentive and friendly. Quick service for food too. We ordered a margarita, chips and guac, fish tacos, and the vegan burrito. The restaurant offers vegan soyrizo! So I highly recommend for any vegans or vegetarians seeking tacos or burritos.

Was stopping by in Astoria and looking for a dinner option before we went on our way, and noticed…read morethis huge taco truck on our way to another restaurant we were thinking of trying. Took one look at the menu, and thought to ourselves, let's go here instead! We paid Chalitos tacos a visit on a Wednesday around 7PM. The taco truck itself is located on a dirt lot with indoor and outdoor seating right outside and next to the truck. There seems to be a couple of parking spaces nearby that I have seen diners walk to and from as well. You place your order at the register, and you wait till they call your name - ours took about 7-10 minutes to get out. We got several tacos ($3 each) just to try the meat options that this restaurant has to offer - Asada, Lengua, Fish, Al Pastor were the options we tried. They were all absolutely delicious! The asada and al pastor were seasoned well and had a pleasant meaty texture, and my personal favorite, the lengua was the perfect texture - soft, hearty, and basically melts as you chew it. Their quesadilla is a solid price too at $10 and you can pick any meat you want to go in it for the same price! At other similar Mexican restaurants, a lengua quesadilla can be up to $12. The quesadilla was portioned generously and came out piping hot with the cheese being stringy and absolutely indulgent with every bite! I also love that they include guacamole with the quesadilla as it usually is a premium at other establishments. Chalitos tacos is definitely an underrated gem in Astoria, as there aren't too many reviews just quite yet - I think compared to what you can get in Astoria, from a quick scope of the area's culinary offerings, the price with quality and quantity you can get from this taco truck seems to be unparalleled. If I am ever in Astoria again, I would definitely come back to try their other options, there are several on my mind like the burrito, pupusas, salchipapas, etc.
