    Chicken tacos
    Polly H.

    Oh my goodness. We ordered our many tacos to go. I must say those shrimp tacos are the best here! Yes, they have cheese, and yes they have the works (onions, guacamole, cilantro). It comes with salsa. So good! The beef and chicken ones are tasty also. We walked in Saturday evening, and the place was packed for the World Cup. It was cute inside and had lots of waitresses working. I saw many families and friends sitting and enjoying their meals. I think that it's raining tacos song has got us thinking about tacos all the time. Now, we get a craving for tacos on the regular. Good thing this place is available to meet those cravings!

    My 5th try on this restaurant. I had a love of first taste at this restaurant back in 2016. Everything was on point. Service was fast and friendly . Ambiance was simple & humble. Food tasted fresh and flavorful. I forced my significant other to try one last time! Maybbeeeeee they change the way they run this place or the chefs 1. We wer seated right away... but they took 30 mins to take our order.. my bf was about to leave he said he'd rather get the tacos from the food truck it would be faster and yummier 2. Another long extra 30 minutes for our order. Finally it came 3. Tacos was alright nothing special but my steak taste frozen NO FLAVOR AT ALL taste RUBBERY. My mouth had a workout .. . Guacamole has no taste and mushy weirdest guac I ever tasted... the beans bland.. absolutely NO FLAVOR.. I think all the chefs are allergic to SALT & PEPPER .. 4. You call the server .. and ask for something and they would never come back . Trying not to look and ignore you.. MANAGER OR THE OWNER COME ONNN DONT YOU SEE WHATS GOING ON. This is not a so called Mexican restaurant if you can't serve decent food. Shut the door or change your chef . It's falling apart .

    Been looking to try more different places for tacos around the neighborhood and I'm glad to say I'll be back! Overall a 4.5/5 for my first experience here. I got 2 al pastor ($3.5 ea) and 1 shrimp ($5.5) taco. The tacos were pretty solid and the portions were great. The al pastor was the winner here for me and I would order it again. The shrimp had a bit of spiciness which wasn't expected, but overall the seasoning wasn't my personal favorite. The price was good, although the shrimp one was slightly on the pricy side. Card cash accepted and my order came out in a timely manner. Will return to try more tacos soon!

    Seems like a totally newly renovated! Very nice and clean place, good music and ambiance. Very nice and friendly staff. All Smiles and genuinely welcomed. Felt good. I'm a small eater. Ordered a tamale, a shrimp taco and a chicken taco. Thoroughly enjoyed ‼‼ I Wish them success! Will def go back!

    Super friendly staff. We got the nachos, enchiladas, and each of the 3 tamales. Personal favorite: the verde tamale and cheese enchiladas. A HUGE hunk of cheese in each of the 5 that the plate came with, fully bathed in a large pool of mole.

    Huarache and tacos de chorizo,  al pastor and cecina.

    Came for Mexican food and this place never disappoints. They're horchata drink is pretty good. I tried a huarache with carne asada and it was amazing. The meat had tons of flavor. Tacos are good the only thing is they add guacamole to them which is not done in Mexico but you can ask for authentic Mexican tacos and they won't put any on them. Ask for the guacamole on the side and sip the chips you get in them. Their drinks are pretty cheap as well.

    Coatzingo Restaurant is one of many Mexican restaurants on Roosevelt Ave. The restaurants in this area seem to be one right after the other and must also compete with food trucks in a very fierce competition for customers. The restaurant is long and narrow with seating for about 50 or so. A couple of well place TVs and decor is very average, but if the food is good, then we are long time friends. Coatzingo Restaurant does not disappoint. My order consisted of carne enchilada, lengua and spicy beef tacos. Only three tacos, but let me tell you I was stuffed. Turkey Day stuffed. The three tacos where packed with meat and a ton of guacamole. The home run was the carne enchilada. It was spicy. It was tasty. It was delicious. The lengua was a bit over done for my taste, but had good flavor. The spicy beef, which was boiled, was way over done. A little on the mush side. Not my favorite, but passable. My only real objection was that there was to much guac. Yes, that is right, to much GUAC. I know how could you have to much guac, but it overpowered the taco. Had to remove some so I could enjoy the tacos. By the way the guac was delicious. Nice texture and flavor. Had it with some chips and heaven. No guac went to waste lol. Overall, Coatzingo Restaurant will be part of my rotation of Mexican restaurants that I enjoy on Roosevelt Ave. Food is hot and tasty. Service is very attentive with a smile. Standard Mexican beers at $5. CASH ONLY. Two last points. I notice lots of families which I like, tells me food is good; and some amazing looking entrees overflowing with color and food. yum.......

    Probably one of the top 3 restaurants in Roosevelt that serves great food and deliveries. I've been a patron for almost 7 years, since meeting my bf and now husband going on dates. The rice and beans is definitely the best in town. Chips and guac is great too, more saucy than chunky so be aware of the difference in authenticity from regions of Mexico. Tacos are so good here, priced at 3 bucks its double wrapped in tortilla and come with salsas. Quesadillas are bb and hold up well for deliveries. The Cemita Torta is great too a must try. Service is fast and worth the visit. Dont get confused with the other Coatzingo named places, this one takes te crown. Oh and yes they have a large selection of Mexican beers :)

    Not really a good taco spot. To me the chicken was terribly unseasoned. Will not return

    I saw this on TikTok and the food looked so good that I had to try. Mariscos El Submarino have…read moreseveral locations in NYC and this is one of their original ones in Queens. All their locations have pretty good ratings so I can't really go wrong. Came around 11am on a weekend and it was busy but there were tables available. The tables are arranged pretty strategically to fit as many as possible, which isn't the best for comfort. The service is nice here. The menu is in Spanish but they do have an English menu if you scan a QR code. I ordered the craken taco, costra taco, verde aguachile mixtos, a half dozen grilled shrimps, a la exotica, and guac with fried octopus. Everything was delicious! This place did not disappoint. Although, next time I'd probably skip the Craken taco and verde aguachile even though these two are a top recommendation. My favorite dish was probably the grilled shrimp. The way they grill it really brings out the sweetness and flavor of the shrimp. I personally enjoyed the la exotica more than the aguachile. The guac was also really good and the fried octopus was a good addition. I will definitely go to their other locations. This is a must try for seafood lovers.

    So this place is like all the hype is about it…read more Very good service Very clean The food is different and very quick , tasty and leaves you wanting more . Position are a bit small for a whole in the wall like this and prices are high especially on the tacos but that's because the quality seems really good and fresh and effort put into it. I will definitely try to come back And come early no reservations have to wait in lines cold or warm you will have to. Maybe they should open another spot or expand but that's their business .

I ordered Carne Asada ,Medium . Which I never received, it wasn't like it was busy or anything. Server never once came to our table asking if anything was ok . I just waited patiently for my meal . After her Meal was finished she flagged down the server and asked where is my meal . She then apologized stating she forgot to put my order in .. I was upset after she walks by our table all night seeing me sitting there with no dinner. A good server would ask how is everything, but no not once . I said then cancel the order but my partner insisted I eat , but then after I decided to have it bagged to go . I had lost my appetite. I asked for the check with the server apologizing, I said it's ok but the restaurant should at lest comp the my girlfriend her one cocktail . But that didn't even happen.. The food looked great as far as I could tell , owner was sitting at the front of the Restaurant, didn't ask tables at anytime if customers are happy with their food and service. I don't get it I he noticed me sitting there with an empty table and a coke . I don't think Food or Location is the problem, it's missing customer service, and wait staff should be trained properly. My food is still in the fridge , lost my desire to try . Place wasn't even busy . I am giving 3 stars just for the chef , wasn't her fault. Table service and management 0 stars .

When I had the famed version at La…read moreEsquina del Chilaquil in Roma Sur - which first made me fall in love with this epic sandwich - I tried to no avail. Once again, I achieved mediocre results at the city's only option for this messy, delicious torta of epic ambitions. The sandwich itself, however, is done wonderfully, with the right sloppy texture to the filling that you hope for. Of course, the appropriate chilaquiles verdes are employed. (A note of caution for vegetarians: it automatically is served with a chicken milanesa, so ask them to remove it if you have restrictions.) The sopes we tried were a bit bland, but that's just more reason to stick to the specialty here. The bread for the cemitas and tortas is also baked in house.

They make really tasty Cemitas, tacos, tostadas, quesadillas, etc. in-house (even baking the bread for their sandwiches and making their own potato chips), and they provide hearty portions for a reasonable price. I hope they are successful because they're a welcome addition to the neighborhood, and especially that particular block of 69th street. My husband loved their Cubana Cemita, which was massive, and I really enjoyed the pollo quesadilla, which came with rice and salad on the side. I look forward to trying other dishes soon.
