Mama Puebla

I came here for dinner, and this was one of the best Mexican restaurants I have ever been to! Being…read morefrom California, I definitely missed the Mexican food scene, so I wanted to try Taqueria Tlaxcalli to taste a bite of home. When we entered, we were greeted with kind smiles from the ladies and they welcomed us to sit at any free table. Inside has lots of decor with ample seating. We sat and a server grabbed us menus. We got a carnitas burrito, grilled cactus side, horchata, and strawberry limeade (per her recommendation). Everything came so fast, and they even split the burrito for us! Oh my god, everything was so good. This has to be one of the BEST burritos I have ever had, comparable to the ones in San Diego. I love carnitas, and they do it so well here. It was tender, flavorful, just the perfect amount of sauce and seasoning! And the horchata was the best I have ever had too! The strawberry limeade was refreshing, and the grilled cactus was good! It was my first time trying it and it reminded me of aloe vera/okra texture. I had such a great time, such a great experience, I will definitely be back!

WOW!! Very impressed. Wish I tried sooner. I recommend ordering online as my previous attempt calling in was a language barrier. However I take that as a good sign which means this is authentic Mexican cuisine! My food came super quick and i got updates to my phone as the time of delivery was sooner than estimated. I ordered the flat hard shell tostada with beef was loaded with meat and super fresh it only cost $2.50 I had two and I am full. Also the coconut flan was cold and delish!! I highly recommend this place. Looking forward to trying more of their dishes. will be adding photos read more

Good size portions for the price, not the best plating like there photos, very saucy(great if you like sause) can't see the meat or freshness of vegetables . Pleasant staff and limited seating(tiny restaurant). Recommend this place over other mexican restaurants in Throggsneck, appears cleaner and more professional. Give it a taste. read more

This place is what Throgs Neck needed. Their food is what you call amazing. Their fresh guacamole is delicious, their flan is great and their Molcajete Mama Puebla is mouth dropping. The guy in the front doesn't speak english too well but that's a good sign means the food is real Mexican food. read more

Llamamos al restaurante, pero el personal insistió en que al añadir cualquier guarnición se sustituyen automáticamente el arroz y los frijoles, a pesar de que el recibo decía lo contrario. Tanto la señora que contestó como quien dijo ser el dueño fueron indiferentes y no ofrecieron solución; tuvimos cinco llamadas porque seguían colgándome.
