The service is great. The food was actually way better than I anticipated. Most places don't give as much avocado as they did. We ordered way to much food for two people and ended up sharing it with other family members. I recommend whatever is the most ordered item on the menu. So we definitely ordered some tortas. They gave a lot of extra sauce. I definitely see myself dining at this location again. Get the hildago tortas! Just know the prices are very cheap and you're not going to expect all that food! $30 was able to feed 5 people. read more

Ordered the chilaquiles. Received soggy, mushy, oily, bland chips, with no sauce, no onions, little meat, contrary to what I specifically asked for. Took it to go. Came back to ask nicely if there was some way they could modify it to my liking, immediately I was met with hostility as the older woman chef starts shaming me for using my EBT cash assistance card (which quite truly i found appalling, especially since they have a sign outside indicating they accept EBT), and claiming that I have no prior experience eating Mexican food and don't know what chilaquiles are. This compelled me leave the food with them, without having been offered a solution or alternative. Quite a shame because I really enjoyed having lunch there. The chimichanga is great and generously portioned. But I won't be returning. read more

I've ordered from Hidalgo before and the food is excellent. The burrito is insanely large and delicious. My biggest problem is that the pictures do not match what you receive. This time I ordered the Pechuga Asada, which according to the picture uses arroz rojo and refried beans. But I received white rice and black beans. I'm disappointed because I REALLY like refried beans and arroz rojo. read more

Hidden gem on Vernon Blvd. Pretty big menu and food is always delicious. The people working there are always super friendly the service was quick. Does delivery as well, and pretty good selection of drinks and snacks. read more

This is so secret that it's been open 7 years, with new waterfront Condos across the street, right near the Roosevelt Island Bridge, with lots of commuters, runners & dog walkers going by every day; but they didn't pull up on Yelp. I mistakenly created a new Biz Profile for them. It's really a HIDDEN GEM, an NYC & "the best mexican food can be found in the back of a Mexican grocery" Experience. I'm excited for my new job nearby but also excited that my co-workers order from Hildago (& for their working partners & visitors) almost every week. Apparently the owners know them well. And WHY didn't I know about this place when visiting Noguchi Museum, Socrates Park or Rainey Park before!! The slim options nearby are the Jamaican Restaurant, CostCo food stand, & a fancy Coffee Shop. THE item that looks to be the Staff favorite is the Chimichanga with Oaxacan Cheese (you MUST specify what type of cheese or you'll end up with a bright yellow kind). I got mine with Al Pastor as the meat option and I think it's the best Al Pastor that I've ever had. The seasoned pork was delicious. (I had Al Pastor & Chicken Tacos previously & it was definitely much better than the Chicken) Back to the Chimichanga, from what I can tell, it's a griddled Burrito. Filled with rice, black beans, choice of meat and cheese. Every ingredient was so tasty. In a lot of burrito situations, there's always one ingredient that's lacking, but not here. Usually I don't understand carbs within carbs, but this changed my mind. It's topped with crema and guacamole (also tasty, but a bit salty) and served on top of lettuce and tomato. NOTE: this thing is about 5 pounds or more, maybe 8 pounds of food. You WILL have leftovers for only $10.99. Had a no sugar Tulsi (Holy Basil) Hot Tea and friend had a Papaya Shake (just okay, mixed with ice and I think coconut). A co-worker had a giant Veggie Cemita (sandwich on a round roll) and I saw string beans falling out of it. I want to try the flautas and sope sometime, and their soups. They young woman working at the counter told us that they have Lunch Specials also. Meat, rice, beans & soda for around $8.99. Seating is minimal, literally 3 small tables & 6 chairs in the front of the grocery. I can't wait for the weather to get nicer & take this to the park. Or a walk to Roosevelt Island, eat under the cherry trees. Go there! Don't worry about the lack of ambiance, the food and super friendly service will blow you away! Just keep this spot a secret though... read more

They charge you extra without checking first. Food is gross and poor quality, it's not real Mexican. Go elsewhere and don't waste your money. read more

The best Mexican food empanadas are delicious and you can get them baked. Staff is the best always very mannered. Fast delivery I've used them for parties and my guest raved about the food. read more

First time ordering. I ordered the chimichanga and tacos de carnitas y asada. Plus a chicken soup. Everything was delicious and huge portions. The reason for the 4 stars is because of the chicken soup. Maybe other people like it like this but they grilled a piece of chicken cutlet and put it in the broth. I've made chicken soup and I never made it like this. But will definitely try their other items. read more

My boyfriend and I typically come here for tacos and gauc to bring to Rainy park for a picnic in the park. The food is SO good. St James is still May favorite Mexican deli but the tostadas, tacos and the GAUC and chips are VERY good!! Chill bodega vibe, not fancy but good food at low price read more

Hidalgo Mexican Food - Chicken Tostada - Mexican Near Me - Astoria, New York

See all

my score 3.6 stars ordered: rice and beans, pico de gallo, chicken empanada with green sauce. rice and beans: needed just a bit more seasoning (it also had peas, carrots and corn in it, if y'all care to know). empanada: wasn't bad, pretty regular, not as good as the ones outside atlantic terminal brooklyn, also the green sauce if i'm not mistaken is store bought. it didn't taste like any i've had from mexican or latin america restaurants. the pico: was spicier than the green sauce lol, i poured off some of the juice on the beans and rice and it gave it some flavor. also there were way more onions than tomatoes. delivery was on time and the driver was very nice and friendly. i'll try again.. read more

I really, REALLY wanted to love this place. I truly did. Small business, authentic noms, we were so confident that this was a winner that two of us shelled out about $50 because we wanted to try eeeeverything. This is why we do not gamble. Anyway, we ordered: -Tostadas de Tinga -Vegetarian Tostada -Cheese Flautas -Cheeseburger Deluxe -Enchiladas Suiza de Queso -Pollo Empanada -Papaya Shake Let's talk in the random order we nom'd: *cheese flautas: in desperate need of some seasoning--only ate half, and only out of desperation/starvation *vegetarian tostada: neutral, not the best but not the worst *pollo empanada: devoured, never to be seen again, thumbs up! *cheeseburger deluxe: neutral, wouldn't re-order but also didn't die *enchiladas: ordered the mild sauce and this was so spicy I could hardly BREATHE in its vicinity--had to throw the entire thing out with an epic sadface, because it's the enchiladas I was truly craving =( *papaya shake: took one sip and actually vomited in my mouth a bit, this was like someone took a glass of milk, poured some sugar in it, and maybe one chunk of papaya and shook it for a minute. It hurt my soul, because papaya is life. *Tostadas de Tinga: never touched, all of the above put the fear of Hidalgo in us That said, delivery was as scheduled and when we called to check on our order the gentleman on the phone was super polite. I think I'd prefer rude employees over sub-par noms though. At the end of the day I'm struggling to even bump this up to 2 stars, because we had to throw out about half of our food not because we were so full but because it was entirely unappetizing. The nausea lasted for 2 days. At least the rice & beans weren't bad? read more

Got an amazing burrito bowl delivered. Huge, amazing rice and melted cheese and good quality chicken. Will definitely order from here again.

Really good food. Love the enchiladas - they came with a massive side of rice and beans which was a meal and its own. Really good flautas as well. My friend got carne asada tacos and loved them. The only thing that was kind of weird was the veggie torta. It had stuff in it like cauliflower and broccoli which was kind of weird for a sandwich. Would have just preferred beans and tomatoes and lettuce and cheese etc. but I'll definitely be ordering the other stuff again read more

Quick delivery. The food is consistently delicious and one of my favorite local spots to order food from. Highly recommend the quesadillas and burritos. read more

I really love this place. i've had items from their regular menu (tacos, enchilads, nachos, etc) and they are delicious and authentic but ive also had the hot food that they make during the day for the lunch rush and its fresh and delicious! i believe its family owned and everyone there is very very kind to me (i work next door). don't let the look of the place fool you, its a hidden gem. read more

I ordered the carne asada burrito and the chicken nachos. I wasn't completely disappointed but far from impressed. The carne asada burrito was very bland and the rice didn't have much taste to it. The salsa was super spicy (which I liked) but the flavor of the salsa wasn't all that great. The chips on the nachos were great. Nice crunch to them. Food was also delivered fast which was nice. read more

It is very rare to find clean, convenient Mexican grocery stores here in NYC (I'm from California where we had an abundance of Mexican food), so I was so excited to see this place opening last week. The woman behind the counter told me they were going to open a kitchen with a variety of Mexican foods (tortas, tacos, sopes, etc), so I had to go back today and check out their food. I had 4 Al Pastor tacos, which turned out to be very good but much bigger than I expected so I was stuffed. They were also very reasonably priced. To top it off, they have a case full of great-looking pan dulce (Mexican sweet breads/pastries). read more

Super tacos! Cheap and huge. They have all the usual meats. I've tried the carnitas, al pastor, chorizo, spicy pork, and they are all excellent (especially the carnitas). They have a small counter with some chairs where you can enjoy your fresh, hot tacos with a Mexican coke. They also have a great selection of dried Mexican peppers and other ingredients. It will be even better when they are able to sell beer. It appears to be a family operation, and I want the nice woman behind the counter to be my Mexican mom. This is a great addition to a neighborhood with few options. Bottom Line: Taco Mom to the rescue! read more

My mother is old school Mexican. She loved it soooo much. She said the tamales are the real deal just like her moms. They were from the north of Mexico. She got emotional while eating them. She was happy she ordered several. The burrito was very too and the guacamole and chips were perfect. Nothing was greasy or overcooked. Prices were on point and you get the perfect portion. It is so good it'll make your momma cry. Lol. Ask if the food is fresh. Our tamales got mushy the next day. read more

In reply to a bad review for the breakfast: Yeah other than decent scrambled eggs, their "American" breakfast is lackluster but their tamales, tacos, and tostadas are the real stars. Definitely get every tamale...they are absolutely wonderful. Hidalgo, please call us when you don't have home fries instead of giving us French fries. If you don't have French fries I would prefer your delicious rice and beans instead of those soggy French fries anyday. read more

My husband and I have been ordering delivery from here since the middle of the pandemic. We have had their tacos and some of their other food every Tuesday. The food is delicious. Their tacos are moderately healthy. We have never entered the establishment but love their food. My favorite is the Milanesa de Res. I have also been slowly trying their empanadas. read more

Hidalgo makes AMAZING tamales, best I've had in Astoria! The pork rojas tamales were incredible, spicy and delicious-packed with a generous amount of pork. My favorite are the tamales verdes, I highly recommend them!! The tacos are good, but you can find better elsewhere. Definitely come here for the tamales. read more

Every time I get food from here it's either very soggy or it's incorrect. The reason I'll rate it a three is because even with those problems the food is still very good.

This place is legit! The food is authentic, just like my mothers! FIVE STARS because they deserve it!

Seriously the best Mexican food I've had in NY!! Everything I've ordered has been fantastic. Tacos in particular are amazing and the prices are very reasonable. Delivery guy is friendly and always pleasant and prompt!. I'd add an extra star if I could! read more

Legit. Delicious. I haven't had a good tamal in years, and now I can continue life with the aura of peace and contentment only a good tamal can provide. I enjoyed the mole poblano a lot too. read more

Tasty authentic food prepared by two moms(?). Great little find. Ordered food to go and had a picnic at Rainey park.

Great flautas and tacos and delivery is always ahead of time. I love their tamales although they don't always have it on their menu. Food always arrives earlier than they state which is a treat and food is always hot! read more

Review is for delivery-Why should it take 1 1/2 hours to receive a quesedilla and eggs with "home fries". When we tried to call the restaurant about receiving our order, they never picked up. Food arrived cold and soggy. The food did not taste good in my opinion, but maybe the sogginess contributed to it. I received French fries instead of home fries. Also did not receive anything for the quesedilla (guac/salsa/sour cream). No ketchup either. read more

Chimichangas were soggy and very salty. They lacked everything a chimichanga is supposed to have, there was barely any cheese. It was like getting a soggy tortilla with a little lettuce and meat. Something was really really off with these. Nevertheless, carne Torta was good. read more

I was pleasantly impressed with delivery, came quickly. They packaged the food for delivery very neatly and the food arrived hot. I had the chicken burrito which was typical and very good for the price point. It included side sauces as well. I also had the chicken empanada was which fresh and delicious. Absolutely recommend. :) read more

Ordered from here twice! Delicious burrito and Torta! YUMMY! & the cheese empanadas! Fast & reasonable prices! This is my new go to place when i order from work, which happens to be Roosevelt Island! read more

Ordered delivery from Hidalgo for the first time this weekend. It was AMAZING. I highly recommend the chilles rellenos (came with a huge container of yellow rice and pinto beans on the side for free, which wasn't even mentioned on the menu). The vegetarian nachos were also excellent, made with fresh home made chips and two kinds of mexican cheese. Delivery window said 45-60 minutes and it arrived hot and fresh right around 40 minutes. read more

Ordered here a few times. Super quick deliveries, very friendly, and amazing authentic food. Love!

If you like tasteless Mexican food order from here. The meat and even the green side salsa was tasteless. Beware - this is not authentic Mexican food. Chorizo also tastes very funny. The taco came with just the meat, some onions and a side of that bland salsa. ;) read more
