    This place should be close permanently. One of the worst staff. Always out of something. BAD ATTITUDE, RUDE and they take your order with there HEADPHONES on in both ears. UNPROFESSIONAL. SAVE YOURSELVES A TRIP

    Keep in mind this is an airport plaza! The staff are typically pretty rude. The food is usually scarce on options. But when the on the off chance have the food it's really good. But 8 of 10 times they don't have what your looking for and the response is don't blame me I just work here. It's not a date it's just fast food eat it and keep it moving

    C To The B.

    I'm writing this review in the hopes that someone who can save this location will see it. Since Chipotle started food poisoning people, I switched over to Qdoba as my regular go-to joint back in 2015 and haven't turned back. I've been to many locations in the U.S. and I seek them out everywhere I travel. I have a vested interest in wanting Qdoba to do well. It really is a great option for people that are gf (not sure about celiacs, though) and people with no dietary restrictions alike (hello free guac AND queso!!). That said, I hate to see any location poorly representing the company. The location was weird and not a single JFK employee could figure out where this was located. Not a big deal for the Qdoba fanatic like me, but I presume most others would have just given up and gone somewhere else. I finally found my way and felt pretty uncomfortable with the sanitary conditions, but I'm a germ freak so I figured I was overreacting. Upon paying, I saw the dreaded "B" on the wall. Most of the people I know aren't bothered by that, but having worked nearly a decade in food service, I know that you have to have some pretty scary knocks against you to get anything other than an A. I went to the health dept. site thinking it would give me peace of mind with small things here and there, but was disgusted to find out not only why they got a B this time, but the history of bad health reports at this location. Needless to say, all the free guac and queso in the world didn't make up for the meal I ended up throwing away. I hope the powers that be start to pay closer attention to these types of locations and implement better quality control and food handling training before it hurts their brand.

    We were looking for a good Mexican spot in the area and found this place on Google. From the…read moreoutside, it honestly looks more like a deli, but don't let that fool you! I noticed they had margaritas, so we decided to give it a try. We were a party of four (three adults and one child). My daughter ordered the salchipapas kids' meal with a mandarin Jarritos, which is her favorite flavor. The adults all ordered margaritas, and they definitely didn't skimp on the tequila--they were strong and delicious! We started with the chicken nachos, and they were excellent. The chips tasted fresh, which made a huge difference. My husband ordered tacos and really enjoyed them as well. Another thing worth mentioning was how clean the restaurant was, especially the bathroom. That's always something I appreciate. This place is pretty far from home for us, but if we're ever back in the neighborhood, we would definitely stop in again. Great food, great drinks, and a pleasant surprise overall!

I got torta milanesa de res (Breaded steak sandwich), my wife got the breaded chicken sandwich and my daughter got the Birria tacos. The special came with a drink and nachos. Everything was better than expected at a very reasonable price! EDIT: My daughter, who is EXTREMELY picky absolutely LOVED her tacos! She is insisting that we have to go back with her friends.

Boy were the reviews here about this place way off the mark, and while I understand that there is nothing else around the area, it still doesn't warrant such high marks for an establishment that falls below the mark in my opinion. I ordered 5 different tacos and 3 sopes, For the tacos I ordered an al pastor, cecina, lengua, beef and chicken, while for the sopes, I ordered a beef, chicken and cecina. The tacos were all incredibly dry, and meat way too over cooked and tough for it to be enjoyable, I must have been chewing the rubbery meat here the entirety of the meal as opposed to actually enjoying the meal. The fact that there was no delectable guacamole on top of the tacos made them even more dry and less enjoyable. The only redeeming taco here was the chicken, which was season fairly well, and surprisingly a lot less dry and tough than I expected. The sopes were equally as bad, however the sour creme and the beans did help a bit with the dryness. in short you're better off with a taco truck, or my personal favorite around the area, bellas place restaurant

It's a mini bodega store in the front and a cute little restaurant area in the back. I waited a while for my chicken and pork tacos were being made and chilled in the back restaurant area. They had quite a few people eating at the few tables and people ordering to go. They have an extensive menu of Mexican and American foods. I took my food to go and my tacos were just okay and at least very affordable. However, not great enough for me to drive way out to eat just the tacos. On the other hand, I will return to check out a heartier traditional Mexican meal to see if these yelp reviews live up to their hype.

The parking lot serves all the businesses in this collection of businesses. The entrance is gorgeous with a big Dia de Los Muertos mural as you enter. The person greeting me is very friendly. The entire restaurant is very clean and has ample seating. I was seated while I waited for my friend. I ordered a red wine sangria. It had a good amount of fruit in it, was perfectly chilled, and not too sweet. We each ordered fajitas. I ordered shrimp. I was able to sub flour tortillas for corn. The portion was so big I had enough for another meal. Everything came out together, perfectly hot, with sides of salsa and seasoned sour cream. There were also sides of rice, black beans, and cotija cheese. My friend has a non alcoholic Mojito. I also had a tamarind Jarritos soda. We each ordered a sweet. My friend had churros. They came with three flavors of dipping sauce. I ordered the house made flan. The custard was great! The caramel was burnt. I feel the prices are very reasonable considering this is NYC, and the cost of food now a days. If I am ever in the area again I will definitely return to try more of their extensive amazing menu!

My partner ordered the battered chicken cutlet and guess what?? No seasoning at all! We took it home and made chicken parm. Extremely disappointed. We look forward to going out having a good time with food and drinks and this was horrible. Not our 1st time coming here but always want to give businesses a second chance. They failed. Margaritas you can't go wrong. Kudos to others that find their food exceptional and delicious. Margaritas were good. Can't go wrong there. Music was also good just hard to hear and communicate but that doesn't bother me. My opinion Have a great day

But I went there today with some family and was hoping to find a Mexican restaurant that's comfortable for eating on the property. It's a really small space, I think there were 4 to 6 tables, and somehow I didn't get that from looking at the yelp reviews. For the food alone, the place is at least worth 4 stars. The Guacamole here is better than at many, many places... freshly made, has enough salt, cilantro... I'm a guac snob, and I liked this. The chips are a typical fried tortilla, and they were good. 3 of us had Quesadillas, one with mushrooms, one with beef, and the other with shrimp. We all liked them. One of us got a burrito, which was pretty hefty, and they liked what they got. Same person got a slice of Tres Leches and a slice of cheesecake and loved them. Service was fine. The place is on a corner with plenty of street parking around (on a Saturday afternoon). It's not much to look at but I would return with a smaller group.

If you do come here I would HIGHLY SUGGEST THAT YOU CALCULATE WHAT YOU ARE GETTING FROM HERE!!
