If you're looking for a taco spot tucked away in the back of a deli, Carniceria Y Taqueria El…read moreNovillo is where you need to go. Honestly, you know the tacos will be good when the place is inside a deli--it's like an unspoken rule. We ordered two three-piece tacos, one with steak and one with pork, and the portions were huge. They really stack the tacos high, which is refreshing in this day and age when portions seem to be shrinking everywhere. When I'm getting a taco, I don't want it to be smaller than my palm, and El Novillo delivers on that front. The only downside was the nachos--I had asked for no beans, but they included them anyway. That was a bit of a letdown because otherwise, the nachos would have been just as enjoyable as the tacos. That being said, if you're in the area and craving some hearty, satisfying tacos, I definitely recommend checking this place out.

I also love the side salad, rice, and beans--they all have such great flavor and make this such a delicious and satisfying dish. The chips and guac are also really good.

Mexican (and Tex-Mex) isn't an option that Queens lacks, but about a year ago the Chilaquiles on…read morethe menu put El Ranchero on my radar. Surprisingly, it is a dish that is hard to find in the Flushing/Fresh Meadows area especially in a sit down, comfortable restaurant. The Chilaquiles was a nice little plate of deliciousness - I loved the tangy green salsa soaked bed of tortilla with nicely fried over easy eggs (they way I ordered it). A fan of avocado, tomato and onions top the dish as well - it comes with a side of rice and beans. I recently returned when I was in the mood for enchiladas - they have combo option with beef, chicken and cheese. I ordered them divorced style with both red and green salsa. It comes blanketed with a shredded lettuce salad with tomato, onions and avocado. Rice and beans round out the dish. A couple of other dishes I tasted were the eggs with chorizo and the chimichanga - both were very good. I love their house salsas both a dark red and green one. They bring out tortilla chips with a thick salsa that is tomato-ey sweet. They have a full bar if you are so inclined and the service is very good here.

Not fluent in English, but very friendly service. They have an extensive menu! They give complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa is a sweet tomato-y salsa and the chips are crisp. The Chimichanga with Cecina (Salted Beef) was stuffed! Crisp fried exterior, covered in flavorful red (tomato-y) and green (herb-y) sauces. The cecina is perfectly salted. I enjoyed the guac and chips (same as the complimentary chips) and pico on the side added freshness. They also have a house red and green sauce, which have a good kick and flavor to them. The Pineapple Juice is the right amount of sweetness and tart. I like that there's no ice so it's a full glass of juice! Overall a neat local spot to hit up for good food and friendly service (and a full bar!).

I placed and fully paid for a catering order for 10 people on July 3, scheduled for pickup at 5:30…read morePM on July 5 for my party. I arrived exactly on time, but the two female employees working there were extremely unwelcoming and acted annoyed that customers had walked in. They clearly saw us enter but did not greet or acknowledge us. I had to approach them first and explain that I was there to pick up my order. They looked completely confused and told me they had no record of it. I pulled up my order confirmation, and they then said they had not printed the order and claimed that I was supposed to call the restaurant after ordering online. Excuse me? The confirmation email never said that I needed to call and confirm. Also, what is the point of offering online ordering if customers still have to call afterward? I could have just placed the entire order over the phone. What made the situation even worse was the employee's attitude. Instead of apologizing or taking responsibility for missing a prepaid catering order, she acted as though it was somehow my fault. When I asked how long it would take to prepare the food, she said she already had other things to do and showed no willingness to make the order. It honestly felt like she simply did not want the extra work. At that point, I no longer felt comfortable eating food prepared by people who were treating the situation this way, so I requested a refund. She said she needed to call the manager, as though refunding a prepaid order that they failed to prepare required further debate. I had placed the order two days in advance, paid in full, and arrived at the scheduled pickup time. They missed the order, refused to prepare it, and then continued wasting my time while I had guests waiting at a party with not enough food. Their mistake negatively affected my entire event. After I became visibly upset, the employee finally printed a receipt and told me the refund would appear within two days. Several days passed, and I still received nothing, so I had to dispute the charge with my credit card company. This is extremely poor management and customer service. I had visited this location several times before and had already encountered other female employees with similarly rude and uninterested attitudes. I kept giving this place another chance only because it is close to my home, but this was the final straw. I will not be returning.

3.5 I'm glad this…read moreplace finally opened up! I've been meaning to try the food from this small chain, and this location is so much more convenient than the Bayside one, since it's in a shopping center with parking. As for the average rating, I'm hoping this was just growing pains from the new opening. The staff seemed a bit unorganized. While they were friendly, we had one person helping us, then another person took over, and then the original person came back. It was a bit confusing, especially when several workers were trying to use the register and direct others about different orders while we were waiting to pay. On the positive side, the place is clean and well-lit. The assembly line and counter area are tidy, and the portions seem larger than what you'd get at Chipotle. As for the food, we had the steak bowl, loaded nachos with honey chipotle chicken, and churros. I'd definitely recommend the honey chipotle chicken--it was seasoned just right: a little sweet and with a nice bit of heat. The steak was well-seasoned but unfortunately a bit dry. The churros were okay. I'm hopeful that next time I visit, they'll be a bit more organized.

Birria Landia is a popular birria spot that started as a food truck and has expanded into a more…read morepermanent location inside Tangram Mall. We walked up to a casual, convenient setup with ordering kiosks and a quick pickup-style format that works well for a fast meal. The concept is simple, focusing on Mexican street-style birria with tacos, mulitas, and other dishes built around slow-cooked meat and flavorful consommé. The food court setting means seating is shared, and the atmosphere depends more on the mall environment than the restaurant itself, making it a practical stop for a quick meal while exploring the area. The main highlight is the birria tacos, which come packed with flavorful meat and pair especially well with the consommé for dipping. We ordered a few and found the consommé to be the standout item, with a rich, savory flavor that added a lot to the tacos. The tacos are on the smaller side, so ordering multiple is the better way to fully enjoy the meal, and the mulita and other menu options are also good choices if you want something more filling. The quality of the food is what makes Birria Landia stand out. The flavors are bold, the meat is well seasoned, and the combination of crispy tortillas with the juicy birria creates the kind of texture that makes the dish enjoyable. The main downside is the pricing, especially compared to the original food truck experience. Being inside a mall location makes it feel more expensive than what you might expect for street-style tacos, and the value feels less competitive given the portion size. The ordering process is simple and efficient, with the food coming out relatively quickly. The staff handled the flow well, and the kiosk system made it easy to customize orders without holding up the line. Since it is located inside a food court, seating is shared, so it can get busy during peak hours, but it works well for grabbing a quick meal while exploring the area. Birria Landia is a solid spot for birria tacos, especially if you are looking for a flavorful and casual meal. The consommé and taco combination is the reason to visit, and while the prices are higher than a traditional street setup, the quality of the food makes it worth trying. It offers a dependable, quick birria fix in a convenient location, even if the mall setting takes away some of the street food charm.

Pricing is pretty standard for modern day. $5.50 tacos sound expensive, but they're loaded yet not overwhelming. Cactus is an acquired taste and texture, which I'm not a fan of, but it's definitely worth trying if you're adventurous. The space is pretty tight. Don't expect to being a large group without calling ahead. There isn't really a system in place.

I absolutely loved their lengua tacos and Jamaica Agua Fresca. The Jamaica was perfectly tart and had the amount of sweetness, and the lengua tacos weren't overly salty and was so tasty. The Carne asada burrito tho, while it was good, it was overwhelming filled with rice and it had very little beans. It was fine, but I wasn't as satisfied with the burrito, compared to the tacos. The service was amazing. The woman at the front was so sweet and recommended some items. It is a family run restaurant, so it's not huge, but you can tell their food was made with love. I wish I tried the tamales, but on that day, they guy making it was out, but next time I plan to try it! I'll definitely be coming back for their Jamaica Agua Fresca and their lengua tacos though. 100% so good!

One of my friends was about 20 mins late and they didn't give us an issue about it since the rest of us were there. They took our drink order and appetizers. My friend got there after we got our drinks and appetizers and she ordered hers and we all ordered entrees. The waitress was amazing! Kept coming to fill up my mimosa. We had shots, i felt celebrated the entire time. Owner came by and checked in on us too. The DJ was a vibe! Loved him and he kept shouting out all the birthdays in the room. There are 2 bathrooms which we didn't figure out until later because there was only a sign for 1 of the 2 bathrooms but once we figured it out, we saw the cute photo op area in the back. It's literally directly behind the DJ. The place is decorated beautifully and plenty of options for pics. Food was great, drinks were great and so were the vibes.
