    Birria Taquitos
    Melanie M.

    After seeing multiple social media posts about the pizza at Mercadito Mexicano, I was excited to give it a try. They have an online ordering system, which is easy and convenient to use. It's a great place to order from if you are undecided since you can get Mexican food and pizza. We couldn't decide which pizza to get, so we ordered a half Tinga and half Chile Relleno pie and ordered the Birria Taquitos and Pastor Sopes. The food was at our door within 30 minutes of ordering. The Birria Taquitos had four mini tacos stuffed with meat and the consommé on the side. These were very tasty, and the tortilla held up to the weight and moistness of the beef. Hands down, these are 5 out of 5 stars. The Pastor Sopes were 3 out of 5. The Pastor's pork was fatty and had an overpowering pork flavor, making this dish not very appealing. The masa for the sope was delicate and not too dense. I would order these again without the pork Pastor. The pizza crust had good flavor and a nice snap. The Tinga side of the pie came with shredded lettuce on top of the chicken. The Chile Relleno was cut into four large pieces, which I would have preferred to be cut into smaller pieces to cover a larger piece of the pie. The toppings were very flavorful and unexpectedly good on a pizza. The toppings were a bit heavy/wet for the pizza, giving it a soggy factor. Keep in mind when selecting your toppings. Definitely a keeper!

    1 of each Taco; one beef, one chicken, one pork chop

    Absolutely stunning tacos. Perfectly executed the Califa style. The Salsa Rojo from their little Salsa bar was excellent. Owners a really nice and friendly guy too! Highly recommended.

    Really good quality of food. Had the chicken tomato and the buffalo chicken…read more Owner was super kind and hospitable. Affordable dinner for my crew after a long day of travel. My kiddos give it two thumbs up. Would come back.

    Location across from Elmhurst hospital can be chaotic and parking is tight, but the pizza here is…read moreimpossibly thin and crispy. Haven't had any pizza like this since Pizza Palace on Bayard Street by Columbus Park closed. Easy to eat half a pie by oneself. Crispy, thin crust, perfect amount of sauce and oil (about 2 drips per plain slice, not drowning, but reminds you that this is true NYC pizza), lightly cheesed, but still has a good stringy mozzarella pull. For a similar, but slightly thicker (100% yum factor) NYC slice, it's Manos in Ridgewood. For, the thinnest and crispiest plain slice in NYC, Louie's is the standard bearer. Parked in front, ordered a whole pie, ran inside, threw down some cash, waited outside for the fresh pie to bake. 10 minutes later the owner (possibly Louie hisself) delivers the fresh pie to my car outside and actually thanks me. True Twilight Zone stuff. I scarf a fresh, hot slice straight from the carton before stowing the balance back to Long Island for additional reheat confirmation. With all the political nonsense ongoing, thank Goodness that a righteous, NYC plain slice is still alive, well and residing in un-hipster, un-gentrified, un-apologetically friendly-neighborhood Spiderman Elmhurst. "Best NYC style pizza" is a term that is minimized and bandied about every time some new $60, limited-run, kraft pizza from Japan is the current darling. We submit that this is not the case here. May Louie's be here after all the LES, deep dish, 3 Michelin star bakers and pizza itamae have exhausted their day in the limelight - and leases. $20 all-in (until the hipster masses beat a path here to make Louie's their pizza crusade ) Thank you Louie for giving us working class masses the best, true, unlimited, unpretentious, no-lines, no soup Nazi, no upsell, satisfyingly NYC pizza a $20 can still buy. PS: please don't renovate or move as your pizzeria is a time-capsule whose prime ingredient is sincerity.

    After hearing a lot of great reviews about Andrew Bellucci's pizza, I had to stop by to grab myself…read morea slice and was pretty excited to give the Vodka Roni slice a go from this location! Overall, I'm not sure if it was the pepperoni's or the sauce or what exactly went wrong, but it was a pretty salty slice. Slightly almost to the point it wasn't worth finishing, but I wasn't going to let it go to waste. I've had Andrew Bellucci's other location and even ordered a whole pie of the same pizza and it was great. Hoping this was just a one off, but it kind of put a damper on the excitement to go to this spot. I won't completely write off this location in my books, but I'm going to be less inclined to stop in when I'm having a craving.

    I found the WORST SLICE OF PIZZA in new york city…read more Took forever, literally burnt to death, and they REFUSED to refund me when I pointed out the crust should not be black. Tastes like a bucket of salt. Absolutely horrifying when you're just looking forward to a nice slice of pizza on a friday night Places that are better: -Gias -Grand Ave -Nonna's (my favorite) -Literally any other pizzeria in Astoria. Busy does not equal good. This was disgusting and gaslihting someone that "oh the crust is supposed to be like that" when its literally black and crumbled at the touch after reheating in the oven for 10 minutes too long is not ok. I still can't believe they wouldnt just refund me and let me go.

    It's been almost 15yrs since I last visit this fine establishment. Childhood nostalgia hit when I…read moreentered and proudly show the place to my husband and friend. They had revamp the place and it looked nothing like my childhood but the taste was there (unless I put it on a pedestal). It's not your typical pizzeria. They specialize in 10" pan pizza with crispy crusts. They do not do slices... only whole pies. Food quality is still amazing! I remember as a child they had the paper wrapper that had coupons on it. My siblings and I would save all the paper coupons for free pie (collect 10 for 1 free pie). Not sure if they still do that. They used to also offer free balloons to all kids there. They had a huge helium tank and assorted color balloons that they would blow up on the spot for all kids. Very family-oriented/friendly local pizza spot. We order led my favorite pie: Onion & Pepper pie but added Pepperoni and garlic knots. It was soooo goood that I was super happy to come back for another taste. I hope the next visit won't be as long.

    One of my favorite pizza places in all of NYC. I have been eating at this location, as well as the…read moreother location for over 30 years. I only have changed my order maybe three times total over the years. It is one of the few restaurants myself and my family can all agree on. I wish parking was not an issue and it would be awesome if they had more locations spread out. I know that is a challenge for us, otherwise we would be ordering here every time I came home to visit. My absolute favorite pizza is the Indo-Pak. FYI, all the pizzas are individual sizes and measure about 12". The Indo-Pak has curry, garlic, onions, and jalapeños or cherry peppers-not sure which pepper but it gets hot after a couple of slices lol. Other favorites of mine are the garlic and just plain cheese. I usually finish most of my pie, with maybe a slice or two leftover. I am getting hungry while writing this because I miss it and it's that good. They have other items on the menu besides pizza but I have personally never ordered anything but pizza.
