    Shrimp Burrito
    Ashley Y.

    this place is a whole in the wall , you have to give it a try , its close to the train station you cant miss it ! i remember went here twice when it first open and wow its been progressing ever since, the food is so delicious!! it was thirsty thursday's so my frozen margarita was only $10! both meals were delicious service was great, will definitely come back

    This bright, homey and welcoming Mexican-American neighborhood spot smack in the epicenter of the mind-blowing multicultural culinary Mecca of Jackson heights channels the soul of an classic diner with it's expansive and wide ranging menu covering all 3 meals of the day, with both traditional Mexican classics as well as some Americanized adaptations like eggs Benedict and biscuits and gravy. Pricing is gentle overall, and nifty daily specials offer great values, particularly the taco Tuesday which offers the chance to mix and mach each of the taco options a la carte as opposed to 3 to an order normally. All options are very solid and served on locally beloved (despite its relocation from nearby Corona to NJ several years ago) Taqueria Nixtamal tortillas. Of particular note are the house specialty of perfectly fried fish tacos, surely among the better versions I've sampled in NYC, if just shy of the ones served by my beloved Tacoway Beach (fka Rockaway Taco). The places real secret weapon is it's bar however as not only do they bartenders have a deft hand with the assorted Margaritas and other Mexican cocktails on offer (also discounted at happy hours and for various daily specials) but the place has one of the more impressive selections of tequilas and mezcals I've seen around town including at much more high-falutin and pricy establishments, in spite of it's supremely low key and casual atmosphere. Another great win for the neighborhood and further proof that no pound for pound overall greater locale for delicious, diverse, affordable eats may exist anywhere on the planet.

    Ate here today for dinner by myself after work as a paraprofessional at P.S. 12 Q. I had brought the habanero enchiladas and churros that it tasted really good and delicious. Many thanks to my server named Omar to get my orders right and had a very respectful manner towards me while I eat my meal. I couldn't agree more about it. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time! :)

    I'm gonna say this but the only place in queens that does "Taco Tuesday" right .The food is flavorful the portions are decent.The drinks are amazing it does get busy but the vibes are always there .The staff are nice and the restaurant is well kept ! (I always leave full )

    Nachos

    First time there looking for calamari, tried their calamari and nachos both were delicious will definitely be back to try other dishes! Their hot sauce is fire (love)

    Great food! I loved the Buffalo Wings. They tasted great and had a nice kick to them if you're looking for something spicy. The nachos and chicken tacos were delicious too! We had the "Dos amigos" drink and it was strong and tasted great with the hint of mint. Our servers were warm and very attentive. At night, it plays Spanish music and sporting games are played by the bar. Great place to grab drinks at or, sit down for good Mexican food.

    Dinner with the fam at Laly's felt like bumping into an old friend who gives killer margaritas, especially that smoky al pastor stunner Ambience was cool Latino vibes, upbeat but cozy enough you don't need earplugs Tacos and daily specials hit every note, comfort food mixed with chef swagger Service was top tier, friendly without turning into your long lost cousin Left full, happy, and low key wondering how quickly I could score a carry out margarita!

    Fresh Guacamole & Chips
    Brenda C.

    Looking for authentic Mexican in queens???? Hop over to Laly's and get ready to be transported to south of the border. Sitting on the corner with large windows to people watch this ample tabled eatery is a must visit. The menu makes it pretty hard to choose what to eat when everything sounds so good. If you drink there's also an extensive drink menu. The staff was friendly and very efficient taking orders and quickly bringing out your items. You must order the guacamole with the sea salted chips, it's perfectly seasoned. Fish tacos on deck are a hefty portion and a lovely complex flavor to the fish. Ordered a salad made with arugula, apples, cranberries and cheese (select whatever topping you would like.....I chose chicken) the chicken was clearly grilled and spiced nicely. Can't wait to go back.

    Cemita burger
    Nicole K.

    Came across this spot while searching for taco options. Laly's is a great spot full of variety and flavor. The menu strikes more like Mexican inspired diner, tons of breakfast and main meal options with Mexican inspired flavors and flair. We had the cheese flautas which were incredibly flavored and garnished as well as birria tostones. The cemita burger was an excellent touch. Combining the traditional flavors and ingredients of a cemita sandwich with a great hand formed burger patty was an excellent touch. Agua fresca michelada is a menu item I've never and was full of great flavor. Excellent, fast, helpful servers rounded out a really great lunch experience. Will definitely be back to try out more interesting menu items.

    Churrito topped pancakes (off the brunch menu)
    Sep B.

    I came here with friends for brunch. I ordered the breakfast enchiladas and my friends got the salmon Benedict, churros pancakes, and an omelette. We all got coffee, which wasn't the best nor was it the worst. The wait service was good; the wait staff checked on us a handful of times for coffee and water refills, though food service was a bit slow. But we were in no rush, so all was good.

    Enchiladas with tomatillo sauce and enchiladas with habanero sauce
    Yvonne T.

    The food was absolutely amazing. The sauce for the tomatillo was delicious. It was mild and flavorful. The shrimp enchiladas were delicious. The habanero sauce had a lightly spicy flavor and it was absolutely amazing. The staff is extremely friendly and we were also serenaded by a guitar player. The ambience in the restaurant was traditional,Mexican with colorful pictures on the wall. Tres Leche cake was very sweet and decadent . It was absolutely delicious.

    Habanero Enchiladas (Steak)
    Rossana A.

    Really enjoyed the Cemita Burger and all its toppings. Just wish it had more refried beans. They have daily specials so make sure to ask what they are. Service was good. They play a good variety of Latin music so I could see it being busy on weekends. I came on a Thursday afternoon and it was pretty empty.

    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 .

    This place has so many unique smoothies as well as a pretty big menu for their food items…read more I wasn't too hungry and since they didn't have elote, I got the esquite since it is very similar. My only complaint for the esquite was that it had a little too much water and mayo but other than that, the corn was sweet and all the seasoning was perfect and hit the spot! The main reason why this is one of my go to places now though is because of the smoothies. I haven't been too often just yet but the smoothies that I have tried from then so far have been absolutely perfect. I am just glad that I found this spot as the weather is getting warmer because I know I will be craving smoothies more often. The place is quite small and it was quite dim when I went in. They do have a couple of tables and seats as well. The service was also great. They were very sweet and our items came out in a timely manner.

    2nd order from Tacos y jugos via Uber Eats…read more We ordered flautas, burritos and tostones. Each suffered from condensation between packing time and delivery time. We also ordered elote which is rolled up in tin foil. It was spicy for my palate and the crumbly cheese was okay. Just wasn't for my taste at all. But corn cleared my palate for the next bite. The rice in the burrito was undercooked. Some part of the grain was crunchy, but my boyfriend didn't notice it. I think I'll give this place another try.

    After having dinner, my friend and I were walking around when we came across "Ruta Oaxaca Mexican…read moreCuisine." Ironically, earlier while trying to decide where to go for dinner, I had sent this restaurant to my friend but we ended up going somewhere else and came here for drinks afterward. The drinks were really good! We tried the "Sexy Oaxaca," which consists of 7 Misterios Doba-Yej Mezcal, Cointreau, grilled pineapple, mint agave, fresh lemon, and warm salt. This drink takes your taste buds on a ride. It starts off light and refreshing with the mezcal throughout, then finishes with a smoky effect from the pineapple since it's lit. It was really good!! I also tried the "VIP Old Fashion," made with Patrón Extra Añejo, Nixta corn liqueur, Angostura, and orange bitters. This was also good and was smoked prior to being served, giving it a smoky aftertaste. It's definitely a drink you sip slowly. Although we arrived about an hour and a half before closing, the waiter was very polite and professional. They also didn't rush us out once it was closing time, which I appreciated. There were other customers still there enjoying themselves as well. I will definitely be back for dinner. I'm very curious to see what the food is like. I really enjoyed the drinks.

Nothing bad, but I felt like it could've been a bit better overall. The food was good though, I ordered the mixtos tacos, which let's you pick three different tacos from the menu. It was around $23, which is a little pricey. But the tacos were a decent size and definitely filling. My favorite thing I tried was the chori queso. I never had it before and it was honestly the standout dish for me. I would order that again. I also tried the enquites which is street corn. It had a bit of a burnt taste. I know some people enjoy that smokey flavor, but it really wasn't for me. Overall, it was a nice time and for some of the dishes too.
