Food was very good. We ordered gringas poblanas, which they sound better than the look. The tostadas were much better, the tortillas taste freshly made, they dont crumble and the tostadas were loaded with carnitas. The server had 3 sauces on the table, tomatillo sauce, roasted chiles sauce and avocado sauce, the sauces are safe, not spicy but they each bring a different character and flavor. We order the chicken mole (dark meat) came with a leg and thigh, beautiful covered in a thick layer of home made oxacan mole and it was served with rice and beans and a generous stack of tortillas. My wide ordered a pancita large bowl, perfect size meal. Enhiladas verdes de pollo for me. For dessert we had churros with mexican homemade chocolate sauce- a nicw way to finish a meal. Overall the food was great. Service was good we got there at about 5:15pm so the okace was not too crowded. Parking is always an issue sk be prepared to take your time to find metered parking. The most disappointing dish were the gringas poblanas, bite size serving, not enough taste, not worthy of being in the menu. Everything else was pretty tasty. I noticed margaritas were $17, oricey for a small beverage. We didnt order anything from the bar, as the price dis not make sense for the small serving we did notice servers were not well organized as we had 3 different people tend to our table. Once food was down, they never came back to check on us. At the end they ask for a18% gratuity, when service is great, i have no problem. In this case, service was mediocre-so 15% ahould be sufficient. read more

The food is amazing; the enchiladas poblanas are a must try, highly recommend. The authentic vibe they have going on is great and honestly the cuisine alone is worth the visit, and from what I can tell most people would agree. Only thing holding it back from a 4 star is the service and the drinks, which seems inconsistent at times not just a one-off. A rough gem for sure -- fix the service and this place is easily a top spot. read more

Fantastic mexican food omg we wish we ordered more. Nachos were still crispy after putting on all the toppings and the meat in the tacos were amazing! Definitely recommend the al pastor, carnitas, and lengua!! read more

Ordered their platter to go upon recommendation from a friend and Juquila did not disappoint! Carnitas platter will easily feed 2 (if your're not large eatters). Don't know how they do it, but the pig ears are the best and marinated perfectly! Will definitely be back to try some of the other things on their menu! read more

Juquila Restaurant & Bar - Maduros at the bottom not from juquila; everything else on top is the carnitas platter! - Mexican Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

A group of 8 of us descended on Juquila, ready to feast on food as colorful as the decor. Smokey meat lovers will adore the Carnitas. Green-goers will enjoy the Verdes Chilaquiles. And the Walking Dead among us--AKA those nursing a hangover from last night's fiesta--will no doubt need a big, piping hot bowl of Pozole, which you can drink scorpion bowl-style if you so choose (we did). The guac and Jamaica agua fresca were both solid, but I'd skip the Mole Poblano con Pollo, which was just eh. read more

Deliciosa is the words to describe our meals and drinks. A short walk from the 7 train to the 82nd St. stop and you arrived at this Mexican gem. First I want to thank Rubin our waiter, he gave 100% from beginning to end. Rubin was very friendly, efficient and made excellent recommendations when we were a bit unsure of certain items to choose between. The drinks were some of the best we have ever had. A margarita and by far the best pina colada I have ever tasted. Shared guacamole and yes we like a bit of spice....it was freshly ripened avocados with the perfect blend of cilantro, onions and tomatoes. The tortilla chips were bought to us and freshly made (not from a bag) and a hint of salt. Moved on to two tacos one shrimp and one goat. The goat meat was beyond tender both were served on a mini tortilla. Out of the array of soups to choose from Rubin suggested the beef soup which comes in a large or small portion. The perfect bowl of heaven, albeit the smaller bowl It was extremely filling. The soup consisted of tiny cut pieces of corn on the cob, potatoes, spices and beef so tender that after one bite on a cold nite it warmed your entire insides. Soup served with a side plate of finely chopped parsley and onions.....use as much or as little to your taste. Entree was fried pork chops (2) I was asked if I wanted it alone or with cooked onions (trust me get the cooked onions they were tender and finely sliced), with a side of beans and rice and a mini chopped tomato, onion and green pepper salad. We thought it was over (the meal) and Rubin lured us in with those magic words....."are you interested in dessert"?........choices were fresh flan, dulce de leche and churros (I have lived in New York my entire life and never had a churro but always wanted them)......well todays the day!!!! We split the churros which comes with a small cup of dark chocolate. I don't eat chocolate but the churros were bought to us freshly fried and warm with a hint of sugar. The only thing that was missing was a pull out bed next to the table so I could fall fast asleep after my meal lol. Now that I know where Juquila is I will make the trip and try more items on the menu. read more

Es la primera vez que siento la necesidad de dejar mi comentario. Ayer fui a comer con mi familia con la idea de pasarla bien, siempre nos ha gustado la comida, la comida es deliciosa. El servicio pésimo, las meseras pésimas. La única que hizo su trabajo fue la manager y el bartender. La mesera que nos tomó la orden ( blusa roja) al parecer no le caímos bien, al tomar la orden nos puso una cara con ojos de huevo que ni ella se aguantaba . Ni nos miró a la cara, mientras nos tomaba la orden siempre con la mirada en el limbo. Después vino otra (Blusa blanca ) Nos dejó los calamares que pedimos así como diciendo coman y ya, ni servilletas, ni cubiertos. Tal vez será porque no pedimos nada de alcohol porque nos dimos cuenta que a la las otras mesas les daban un buen servicio. A éste lugar no vuelvo mientras no entrenen bien a su personal. read more

I really liked this place a lot, a friend picked this place out as part of a taco crawl we were having in Jackson Heights and I thought this place was great. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was great. The food: Barbacoa Taco- These were some bombass barbacoa tacos. It had a very pronounced lamb flavor, more than other Mexicans I have tried it in, if you don't mind the gamey flavor you will love these. The lamb was nice and tender with some nice fatty pieces. Must get. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=MOKKX5sJFUxwv0NNm9f0PQ&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Lengua Taco- Really delicious. The tongue was properly cooked and was seasoned well. The lengua was a close second. Chorizo Taco- Flavor on this was great and I appreciated how they left it in small chunks. I don't like when they chop it too fine but this had a good mouth feel. Carne Asado Taco- The only taco I had that I would skip, it was super safe and not that exciting. Pork Pazole- This is the dish that surprised me the most. I thought this was excellent, it had such a wonderful soul food feel, kinda like chicken soup on a cold winter day. The pieces of pork were cooked perfectly, they had so such wonderful texture and flavor. read more

We came on a Saturday night around 6:45pm and it was packeddd. We opted to sit by ourselves in their outdoor seating (mistake but that was our bad...it was freezing outside and while they do have a heater you won't feel it at all). Also, the outdoor dining door doesnt fully close so theres a huge draft that comes in. That being said, onto the food. Tacos: Lengua: 3/5 Carne asada: best of the 3 Shrimp: 3/5 All 3 came with onions, cilantro, and guac on the side. There was also lime to squeeze on it. They gave green sauce and hot sauces too. All the tacos were $4+ which is kind of pricey. Mole poblano con pollo It's kind of sweet, came with arroz and beans. Because it was so cold inside, the food kind of got cold by the time we finished the tacos. We ended up taking it to go. Not in photos: mexican hot chocolate ($4.50 for a large) and michelada: $9 it was good! All in all, I wouldn't say go out of your way to eat here but if youre in the area and want tacos, and they have room inside by all means check it out. Just dont have high expectations to be wowed. I left feeling meh. Not bad. Not good. read more

They give complimentary nachos & beans which were good. I got seafood stew which was amazing ($22). It wasn't spicy at all, perfectly mild for me. It had celery in it but I couldn't really taste it & it didn't have that nasty celery smell. It comes with shrimp, squid, clam, mussel, crab. They also give you a bun to dip it in. My friend got mole which was good. read more

A solid spot for Mexican food, evident from the crowd and how packed this place was. Ordered a variety of tacos while here and they were all delicious, and seasoned well. Packed with seasoning and sauces, they were incredibly well done. Would definitely come back to try the rest of the menu here read more

Juquila Restaurant & Bar - A variety of tacos - Mexican Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

We ordered 3 appetizers and the person over the phone took down the incorrect address. Left my number so they can review their system after clearly giving my address in the J.Heights district. Also ordered food last week which led us to choose Juquila over It's competitors Coatzingo, Molcajete, El Poblano etc. Somehow the poor delivery guy was sent to long island city. It would be common sense why would you send a courier for over 40 blocks for a delivery. 34th avenue is well known in the area . 55 minutes later I give the manager the correct address only to be passed to the server who wrote the order for me to reiterate the same address and phone number. I want to support a small business and you would think they would accept their error and offer at least a 50% discount or a comped meal considering the lateness but what we received was cold food. Not sure how customer service oriented the Manager is willing to accept errors like these. Pretty disappointed with the delivery and honestly will rethink ordering a delivery from here again. I do recommend to eat in person if in the area but even that last time we went there the waitress didn't know how to make the cocktails but the food is good. Hopefully they learn on customer service and how to rectify this situation in the future. A cold taco and queso fundido with chips and guacamole is not turning my night around. Tipped the guy well for his efforts in the cold weather. Paying full price is throwing your money away considering the other authentic restaurants in Jackson Heights. I'm glad I didn't have friends over while we watched lucha libre, saved myself the bad experience. read more

This is one of the best places for Mexican food. I love getting the agua fresas, tortas, the breakfast, etc. Note that they stop serving breakfast at 12pm. They have various dishes to choose from, you'll never get bored. They used to give free chips before but I believe they stopped due to COVID. They do temperature check and have a contact log for you to fill out. read more

Parking can be a challenge in Queens, but finding the best food definitely isn't one! My family and I came to Juquila on our way back from viewing the Dia de los Muertos ofrenda in Rockefeller center, and it was the best ending to an adventure out of Long Island, leaving with full hearts and bellies. The service was attentive, the music was uncharacteristically pop (yay for me!), and I really had the best meal. We had a queso fundido to start, though I'd already inhaled the chips and frijoles they serve you first. I had an agua de jamaica to drink, and it was so refreshing but since I haven't ventured out to Queens in a bit, I had to also immediately drink a fresh limonada to make the most of my time here, both were excellent. As for our mains, we had consome (goat soup), a torta de milanesa (beef sandwich), and barbacoa en salsa verde (goat). My consome, though "small," was extremely filling, with veggies, potatoes, and goat; mom got a larger size and we had plenty leftover to take home. Since it was chillier out, the soup really hit the spot. Pricing is really fair and the selection is very authentic. We love ordering take out from here occasionally when passing through, I highly recommend! read more

I've lived in the neighborhood for a few years now, and I come here all the time! It's delicious, affordable, and has super friendly staff, too. Any of their tacos are great, and I also recommend their pork chops and enchiladas verde. read more

I have been coming here since they opened. Its nicely decorated, friendly service and the food is good. I love having the combinations of flavors like the sweet horchata with a spicy, salty cemita con cesina...basically a sweet sesame roll with salty spicy beef Jerry with house peppers sauce. Pow! What flavors! When ordering, order different plates and enjoy buffet style with your family. read more

Really good guacamole and chips. Pricey, but what in life is not? Juquila is slightly more expensive than other places in the area but I really like their guac when I feel like splurging. Their calamari is good too, with a decent amount and the most delicious chipotle sauce to dip in. Wish they just offered this sauce with everything! Their tacos are pretty good, along with their chicken quesadillas that come along with a side of rice and beans. The cemitas and tortas can be a hit or miss depending on the meat- it can come out a bit dry. I like their sauces on the side, and everything is pretty tasty! read more

The staff get high marks for how they handled people waiting for pick up on a recent Saturday night. There were 3 or 4 of us and the hostess asked people to wait outside, making the experience for those dining in the restaurant. The food we ordered was really well-made and had lots of flavour. I would definitely get food again if I'm in the neighbourhood. It looks like you can have a casual but delicious meal there. read more

I love it here, they have the best tacos and soups I have had in the neighborhood. Service is prompt, they have a liquor license now and have a full bar available. My favorites are the chorizo tacos, Suadero tacos and chicken tacos. Good sauces, generally get a tamarind agua fresca no alcohol so not sure how the cocktails are. read more

I was disappointed when I received my tostada. 1)The tostada de quesillo barely had any quesillo (or any other ingredient. Barely and beans, cream, etc.) 2) The price is very high when you take into account what you receive. (Restaurants sell this particular tostada for $3 meanwhile they charged me $4.50) read more

The only good thing I can say about this is the fast food service, but only thing that comes out of that is the food not being fresh. I remember coming here and being greeted with a smile by the male waiters. After coming here a year later I felt a huge change after walking in, I ordered the nachos, a carnitas taco And my boyfriend ordered carnitas burrito by the end of our meal we were completely disappointed. We no long felt the comfort of the food, or ambiance. They've completely downgraded and seems they've switched to cheaper alternatives. By the end of the night I was just completely disappointed. read more

This place is a hidden gem. The food here is amazing. I love their chips and guac and all of their tacos. My favorite taco is the al pastor but anyone of them is great. The servers are also super nice and I love how many options there are on the menu even though I usually come in for my same favorites. The restaurant itself is also really colorful and fun on the inside and I love the decor. Some things on the menu are a bit pricey but I would say they are worth the price. read more

I've eaten here before and enjoyed it, but terrible tonight. Greasy bland food--was not given salsa (other tables were). Spouse ordered a coke, and was given an American coke while other tables got Mexican Coke. Maybe just an off night?
