    The Srar Steak Burrito
    Tamika V.

    UPDATE 7/12/26 - Stopped by Dirty Taco & Tequila, and Josh took amazing care of us from start to finish! When I say the food was incredible, I mean it. We ordered the steak burrito, and it was packed with flavor and so filling. The ceviche was fresh and delicious, and the beef nachos are a must-order--you definitely don't want to skip them! For drinks, we tried the tequila flight and the Dirty Shots, and let's just say... they keep you coming back for more! To top it all off, we finished with the churros served with whipped cream and caramel. They were the perfect sweet ending to an amazing meal. If you're in the area, I highly recommend checking this place out. Great food, great drinks, and excellent service from Josh. 10/10!

    99¢ mimosas

    Came for brunch on a Sunday afternoon and it was a great experience. All the servers were so kind and accommodating. It's a great brunch deal, 99¢ mimosas with a main order, we got the breakfast bowl and the breakfast burrito. Would love to come back and try their tacos.

    I bookmarked Dirty Taco + Tequila on Yelp ever since they opened their new Queens location back in March. My good friend and I decided to go there for lunch. Joshua De Leon greeted us as we arrived, and I asked to be seated upstairs. I informed him about my food allergies. Josh also separated our checks since I was paying in cash and Cynthia was paying by credit card. Starters *sharing is caring* Mexi Mac + Cheese - The jalapeños in the creamy mac and cheese really woke up my palate. Street Tacos Cynthia: "Famous" Korean Short Rib on corn tortillas Bang Bang Shrimp on a flour tortilla Ahi Tuna on a flour tortilla Me: Blackened Salmon on a flour tortilla (no aji sauce) - I was disappointed with the Blackened Salmon. It tasted dry and bland. Jamaican Jerk on corn tortillas (no cilantro lime crema) - Another disappointment. The Jamaican Jerk was also too dry and tasted like sandpaper. Southern Fried Chicken on corn tortillas - I saved the best for last. The chicken taco was flavorful, especially with the chipotle BBQ glaze. I told Josh about the issue, then spoke with his manager, Dave. He listened to my feedback and removed the two tacos from my check. A million thanks to our amazing server, Josh!

    Wings

    Came for happy hour and overall it was okay. The $6 margarita was weak and way too sweet even after I asked for it to be less sweet. I ended up getting wine instead, but they did remove the margarita from the bill which I appreciated. The only taco on happy hour was the fish taco, and it tasted fine. We also tried other tacos from the regular menu, and a lot of the food had an Asian fusion flavor profile. Portions were generous. The wings were crispy but very heavy on the sauce and nothing special. Service was good throughout the meal. But we had an issue with the bill being confusing and not adjusting for the cash price even though we paid with cash. I had higher hopes given the raving reviews but not terrible. More like 3.5 stars.

    My friend and are I were in the mood for some tacos so we decided to stop by this new location. The decor is very fun inside with a large bar and a great selection. Our server, Linda was very friendly and explained the different specials they had for the day and during the week. We decided on dirty nachos to share and I ordered a birria and chimichurri taco for myself. To drink, I just ordered a ginger ale. Let me tell you, the nachos are huge! It had many toppings and came with a side of guacamole. The nachos are definitely enough to share with someone else. The chimichurri was definitely my favorite, the steak was tender and all the flavors just mixed really well. I ended up taking the birria home since I was full. It was good but it probably tastes better fresh in the restaurant. I will definitely be coming back to try their drinks and their other tacos.

    Tres leches

    Dirty Taco recently opened in Bayside and was pleasantly surprised to see a packed house before 6pm on a Friday night! First time trying their tacos and was happy to see that their portions are quite large (depending on which taco you order - tuna, pork belly, birria; shrimp was on the smaller side). If you're really hungry, get 3 tacos. Otherwise, most people would be happy getting 2 tacos and maybe an appetizer to share. Standout items for me were the birria and ahi tuna tacos (although I feel like you can't go wrong with any of their taco options). Tres leches cake was very yummy. Guac and chips were pretty standard. Their corn off the cob side was the only thing I didn't love - was watery and didn't really have flavor. I also liked their virgin pink colada but unfortunately they don't do frozen. Overall great vibes, good place if you want to get food and drinks with a friend. Music gets loud after 7pm as an fyi!

    I'm usually not a fan of fusion restaurants but this place sure changed my mind. Everything was delicious! The menu was so extensive and varied that anyone can find something to eat, even the pickiest people can choose. Our server Sam was attentive and helpful. The manager "Hutch"came over and talked to us after we finished to ask us what we thought. A very friendly experience altogether. The place is decorated with fun Mexican and Asian themes. Colorful skulls and imagery. The star is the food. Just delicious and as different as you want. From familiar favorites to wild combinations. Highly recommended.

    Such great service and conveniently located on Bell blvd. Lots of fun fusion flavors. We got three apps and two tacos each and we were beyond full!! Our favorites were the cold peanut sesame noodles and Mac & cheese. My personal favorite was the chimmichuri and my bf really liked the jerk chicken. A little pricy for tacos but they were stuffed and bigger than street taco sizes.

    Nachos and two different types of queso.

    The new and now 7th location for Dirty Taco + Tequila is open! I've been to 5 of their locations now and this one like the others is fantastic. Their tacos are amazing, one of my personal favorites are the bang bang shrimp tacos. They are all good but this is one of my favorites. The nachos with queso are fantastic, their own seasoning blend makes the queso really pop and enjoyable. Their drinks like the classic margaritas are made perfectly. The service is always fantastic. Definitely go to any one of their locations.

    We came in for lunch on Cinco de Mayo and were promptly greeted and seated by Sam, who was super friendly and helpful in explaining the menu and specials. This new location (opened April 2026) is where The Cuban used to be on Bell Blvd. It's a nice casual place for a drink and meal, with lively music and plenty of seating (including upstairs). Tacos are sold individually so you are free to get your ultimate taco combo. First, we got their margarita special: a classic margarita for just $7 and it was amazingly good!! We started with their guac & chips, plus sweet plantains, both good choices. Our tacos included the blackened salon (great flavor, not overcooked), chicken tinga (slightly spicy & delicious), miso cod (lightly fried, juicy) and Al Pastor (marinated pork). The tacos were all overstuffed, so two each was plenty as an entree. We also had their churros (slightly overfried), which came with whipped cream and caramel sauce. Really good food and an excellent value (we spent less than $100 for 3 people). Definitely worth a return trip!

    My best and I went for Sunday Brunch and had a great time there. The manager Dave and the waiter were both very welcoming and attentive. It is just grand open for less than 2 months. However, Dave knows what can improve this location and plans to gradually establish all features as other locations. My Mexican breakfast bowl is huge and mixed with good/fresh protein and carbs. We additionally ordered tuna poke on lettuce wraps for $14. It is so yummy and healthy. The ambiance is casual and upbeat. With the order of any brunch item, you can accompany $0.99 mimosa. What a great idea and deal! Occasionally this store hosts different promotions and special events such as Cinco de Mayo and Mother's Day. Definitely I will go back for $7 cocktail and $5 taco on Cinco de Mayo.

    Breakfast burrito
    Jessica N.

    This new spot on bell blvd gave great first impressions. The servers and manager were so friendly and welcoming. I came with a large group that included 2 infants and 2 toddlers. There was sufficient high chairs and enough room for our strollers to park. We were seated upstairs for our group of 12 adults with large tables that were so spacious. Although we had to carry our strollers up the stairs, it was worth it for the space. The menu had fusion flavored items such as Asian fusion flavors. There's also a special Sunday brunch menu where if you order any item from the menu, mimosas would cost $1, with limit up to 5. I ordered the breakfast burrito which cost about $13. It was massive and so worth the money. It was stuffed with hash brown, eggs, minced meat, and cheese. It was flavorful and not too salty. Salsa on the side. I thought it was a great deal. I think the tacos did look pricy but the size was bigger than the traditional taco. Aside from the price, it's a great spot to hang, eat, and try out!

    We had a great time here with our friends! We had a pretty large party with young children and they were able to accommodate us in a pretty short amount of time. They were so welcoming, the decor is really cool, and the menu has so many fun and interesting options. I definitely would go for the more fusion options since they're lots of fun. They do fill up the tacos pretty full, so 2-3 tacos is a great amount for the normal appetite. We'll be back again for more!

    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!).

First off it's super clean, it's HALAL it has a unisex bathroom to use, cold beverages in the freezer by the counter, the owner Ali greeted me with a smile and gave me a free complimentary sample plate to try of the different protein meats and sauces so I could make a informed decision about what I wanted to order. And that's not all... Let me share the added benefits of this place, so I've been to CHIPOTLE and GUACTIME, and those places don't even stand a chance in comparison to this place. There is absolutely NO EXTRA CHARGE FOR GUACAMOLE NO EXTRA CHARGE FOR YOUR CHOICE OF MEAT/PROTEIN TYPE. They have a standard price of $14.95 for your meal and you can add as many toppings and sauces as you like! They also have a vast array of VEGAN/VEGETARIAN options like roasted cauliflower/beans/tofu for all those non meat eating or health conscious people out there Nothing has been sitting out for the day or is nasty looking like the other places I mentioned. Everything is made super fresh on the spot. Including the fries. Don't even get me started on the caramel filled Churros-you're gonna die n go to heaven they're soo crispy and delicious! One of the biggest kickers for me though is this-I absolutely had no stomach/gut issues (bloating/pain etc) after eating this food. I felt so good. That is the game Changer for me because I'm sure we all know about the downside of eating Mexican fast food usually. Tap and pay is available so you don't have to pay only Cash here but that's an option too. The owner Ali is from Pakistan and shared with me about his family and daughter and how he prides himself on his passion for quality food and excellent customer service and I will say, without him even mentioning it, it shows in his business, service and food. This place is the bees knees and I would highly recommend it.

The burrito and nachos are still our favorite and the pina colada is so good. They put a lot of maraschino cherries in that drink, which is loved.
