I've been craving tacos and hubby decided to surprise me with food from this truck! The truck is conveniently located near a bus stop and train station, close to the Citibank on the corner on 71st. He ordered three tacos (3 for $9) and a chicken quesadilla ($6). The food does take a bit, about 10 minutes, but that gives peace of mind that it is being cooked/heated/prepared. Beef taco - Good flavor! Generous chunks of meat with sauce and plenty of cilantro. The tortilla was okay, heated well and wasn't hard on the edges like other places I've tried. Chicken taco - Not sure how they dice up the chicken and what seasoning it is but it works. It's slightly spicy (in the slightest hint for those with sensitive taste buds) but it adds a kick of flavor to the overall taco. Same toppings as the beef. Good stuff. Chicken quesadilla - large portion! Same meat seasoning and prep as the taco. Loved that the cheese was inside the folded quesadilla along with the salad mix. Pressed well and the tortilla was on point. Crunchy but soft. Overall, would definitely return to this truck to get food. I love the way they package the tacos and quesadilla. More loving than restaurants! Tacos are packed in a way so the toppings aren't falling out from all sides.

I love street food and I love tacos. Thus I love street tacos. These happened to be great tacos for street or a restaurant. NYC is overflowing with great tacos in restaurants so I am happy to have a place close by to get on the street. I had the pork tacos and a side of rice. The tacos were excellent. They had a generous portion of meat and sauce. I have been craving them ever since which is always a sign of good food to me. The menu is hard to read and the language barrier with the cart employee might make t hard to order but trust me it is worth it. 3 tacos were $9 which I think is a little expensive for street food but again quality and taste make them worthwhile.

Los Chilitos offers the most authentic Mexican food this side of Jackson Heights. Know that this is not Tex-Mex but more like the food someone's abuelita serves, the difference is night and day or should I say día y noche. Pros, really tasty, and fresh food offered at super cheap prices. (Sure prices may look just ok but it's Super cheap relative to how much food they give, which is tons!) There are also open late night, (though usually seem to be absent on Sunday's) and offer meats and dishes unavailable any where else in Forest Hills. Cons, cash only, drinks are sometimes just lukewarm, and this being Mexican street food, on occasion you'll get a gristly bit, but it is rare. Of all the Mexican places in Forest Hills I can honestly say Los Chilitos is the one place I could eat at everyday and not get tired of.

Im convinced that anybody who doesn't like this cart isn't ordering properly. I'd visited on a couple of different occasions, primarily ordering the beef and chicken tacos. And they were alright, solid 3 stars but nothing amazing. I moved here from Corona, after all. My expectations were high. I later tried the chorizo, and my rating increased a bit: it was definitely tastier than the mundane options I'd been previously ordering. BUT, when I ordered the carnitas taco, I was floored. Absolutely delicious! It blew my previous selections out of the water. Then one day, I ordered the chicharron. It was the absolute best variation that I've tried! I won't attempt to describe the delicious flavor or perfect texture: words won't do it justice. Everyone needs to try it, it speaks for itself. Carnitas and chicharron are amazing. Oddly, I tried their al pastor on another day and didn't care for it all. Not all pork is created equal, I guess. I need to try options besides tacos, I'm sure they'll be a nice change. I love this cart, and appreciate that they offer what is probably the only authentic ethnic food option if the overpriced, overhyped food wasteland of Austin Street. Thank you Mexican cart; I appreciate you.

I've slowly embraced the fact that I need tacos in my life more than any other kind(s) of food. Okay, partially true because I'd probably put Chinese Food, BBQ & Burgers ahead of tacos but tacos is making its way up on the ranking and in grand fashion. Mexican Food is a no thrills late night taco food vendor right on Continental Avenue next to Citibank for those that find landmarking easier to navigate to. This is one of TWO Mexican late night spot around, the other being 5 Burro Cafe. Your only other option would be to travel a little farther to Roosevelt Avenue (Elmhurst, Corona, Jackson Heights, etc.) to get your taco fill. On most nights, I don't feel up to doing that. So, Mexican Food is where it's at. Mexican Food is priced on the higher side for some reason. Especially being in Queens. Although, Forest Hills is known for higher priced dining but still I think it's a bit inflated. In Manhattan no, in Queens YES. Food wise, they are pretty good and I think they are trying to up their game presentation wise. I am not easily swooned. I normally order the 3 tacos for $9. Sometimes I get adventurous and order something else but as I said, tacos do it for me. The pork taco, chicken, & steak all had great flavor. The lemon wedge instead of lime wedge was a question mark but it still brought out great flavors. The green and red sauce went really well with the tacos. The radish slices was nice for presentation but I didn't eat it. Service wise, was good. I thought the lady was pleasant. If you are around this neighborhood and don't feel like trekking farther for tacos, this place will do it for you. FAN.

Usually in September this cart is my life savior. Working late nights is one of the few edible things I can venture for, enjoy and know I feel truly guilty. But boy the satisfaction is just so great. Tacos are my things. Made to order. I usually order the carnitas which are priced incredibly reasonable, $3.00 each. You get a nice fat taco with juicy pork, chicken, meat or many other toppings. The menu is displayed on the food truck. They are open late night; 6 days a week. Sunday's they are not out there. The cart is right next to citibank. So it's conveniently located next to the 71st continental train station. I haven't tried their other dishes but the tacos have always been consistent. You can watch some novelas while you wait, since these folks have a tv inside the cart to keep them entertained when it's slow. Try them out and you won't be disappointed.

Authentic Mexican food! The cescina taco and all of their tacos come with onions and an avocado sauce as well as radish. It is extremely delicious and the smell matches the taste. I've had a bite out of the torta when my husband ordered it and it was also good. I don't believe you can go wrong with anything you order from this cart to be frank. What I love about this cart the most is that it is open all day and all night so even though I work late this is always an option. Sometimes it's busy but the food is made fresh so I don't mind the wait.

This place has some good food. Anything I eat here, I eat in silence. I don't talk to anyone I'm with. I don't look at phone. I don't let anything interrupt me and my meal. This place is legit and is open for most of the day. There's also very little wait time even though the line can get fairly long. There aren't many Mexican carts in the area, but this is as good as it gets. Cheap prices for great food
