This place is a no frills spot in Forest Hills. Inexpensive spot that's good when you're looking for something quick and casual. There is some seating inside but it's limited. Better to do takeout. The service wasn't the greatest. It wasn't terrible either. I tried the nachos and thought they were good. Just be prepared because they can get pretty messy. Overall, if you're looking for affordable food this is the spot. read more

I got the chicken fajita soft taco. While it wasn't the best taco I ever had, it was decent for Tex mex. The chicken was seasoned but missing some oomph to make it special. Little bit pricy for what it is. read more

Tacos were ok but the beef lacks seasoning/flavor and most of the things I like on my taco cost extra.

Been ordering food from here for over 30 years! I remember when it first opened and the owner had to bring his young child with him. His family worked really hard and now I rarely see him there. Good for them! Food is consistent and delicious and it's one of our go tos when we want to eat clean. Everything here is good! read more

Sometimes you want to satisfy a craving for tacos and a quesadilla that's made with fresh ingredients knowing it's far from authentic, but man oh man-it's still good. The supreme shrimp quesadilla is one of my favorites and the shrimp have a nice bite to them with extremely flavorful guacamole and salsa. The ground beef hard chili taco is another go to for me; the ground beef is flavored perfectly and the taco shell always makes it home still crisp. read more

Taco King Mexican Grill - Steak with Tex-Mex Chili - Mexican Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

During my stay in Queens, I began craving quesadillas so I looked up the nearest spot for a veggie quesadilla. Taco King was not only affordable but it had many options to choose from! I ended up purchasing the black bean taco and the veggie quesadilla. Together it totaled around $7, and it was great for a quick, filling snack. The only downfall about this spot is the lack of credit card machines. That's right folks; Cash Only! Service was great, food was prepared in a timely manner, and the quesadilla and taco were well-seasoned. read more

THIS is your spot for cheap Mexican food! After volleyball practice, my teammates and I would often crowd the place...for good reason. The food is delicious, the prices are low, there's some seating, and you get a can of soda with the entrees. Fast forward 10 years - COVID is gradually subsiding, places are reopening, and my sister and I decide to reminisce and order from Taco King (open for takeout and delivery!). Their tostada salads were our favorite growing up. But we opted with the special combination plates - 1 steak and 1 steak and shrimp with a side of guac. Delivery took a while, but it's expected - PLEASE BE PATIENT WITH RESTAURANTS AND OTHER BUSINESS OPENING UP - we are in the midst of a pandemic, these workers are risking themselves to keep their businesses afloat while you wait at home. We need to support each other! ALSO, DO NOT FORGET TO TIP YOUR DELIVERY PERSON WELL! The food arrived and our apartment smelled like a steak house. We unpacked and felt like we were kids again. We didn't order the tostado shells because we wanted to be "hEaLtHy", which I now regret ANYWHO...the food! I'll start with my least favorite. The guac - very simple and bland, but again it was only $3.50. I was disappointed because...ya' know...guac is guac! On to the main event - my steak salad. UGH, THE SMELL OF THAT GRILLED STEAK WAS EVERYTHING! The platter came with a small salad, sauce, salsa, sour cream, rice, beans, and 2 soft flour tortillas (my fave!). The rice and beans were a great combo, as always. The sour cream gave me life! It was thick, rich, and perfect to spread on the tortillas, ESPECIALLY if you wanted to make tacos with it. The steak was tender and the triggered nostalgia. I do wish there was more salad, but overall the platter was worth it. THE BEST PART - I felt full and not the nasty, bloated type. The happy kind of full. I'm glad this place is still running strong after so many years! I will definitely be back!! read more

Taco King Mexican Grill - Steak tostada platter (salsa and sour cream were given separately) - Mexican Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

I absolutely adore this place. Cheap asian Mexican place, but it is spot on! My go to order is always their chicken and chili combo (C1). Their grilled chicken is spot on, the chili is fantastic (slightly on the salty side), but a perfect combination with the rice. With my favorite combo in sight, I can never bear to order something else from their menu because I love this combination so much. On a side note, despite being a small mom and pop shop, their customer service is 5/5. I live around the corner so I usually walk to buy my food. Once, upon ordering and receiving the food, I walked home without giving my food a second glance. Upon arriving home and ready to eat my chicken and chili combo, I was devastated to find out that they had given me the wrong order instead of giving me chili, they gave me guacamole instead. I knew this was just a $10 order, but I really wanted my chili (yes first world problems) but this further emphasizes how good their chili is. Without a second thought, I called Taco King to see what they could do about it, but having minimal expectations. After the owner confirmed with the chef that it was their mix up, the owner asked for my address and said they'd deliver a replacement right away. This was before they knew how close I lived. As if this wasn't already my favorite Tex mex place, I've loved this place even more since then. read more

I was looking for a place to grab tacos after spending the day in corona park and came here after seeing many good reviews. I ordered the supreme chicken quesadilla with chips and salsa. Pros: the cost to food portion ratio was decent. Although, the portions weren't huge, I don't feel that they overcharged as some reviews have stated. The supreme quesadilla is a step up from a regular quesadilla with the addition of guacamole. I liked the fact that guacamole didn't cost an additional $50 for a small dab. Cons: the guacamole and the salsa didn't have much flavoring. The salsa was more of a thin red tomato sauce that had very little onions in it. The guacamole was definitely missing cilantro, lime and salt resulting in it tasting really bland. Unfortunately, I don't remember how the quesadilla tasted. Overall, for me personally this was just an ok restaurant but I could see how this restaurant can be a go to if you live in the neighborhood. They were fairly busy around lunch time so they're doing something right. read more

Taco King has been going downhill for a while now, and gave them their last chance. After being disappointed several times with "hit or miss" food, I came again out of convenience. But almost calling out sick to work the following day from severe abdominal pain has made this my last trip. Goodbye and good riddens Taco King! read more

My parents live in West Hempstead and whenever I'm there I crave taco king so you can imagine how happy I was when I found out there was a taco king just 5 mins away from my apartment. The soft chicken tacos are amazing and everything tastes so fresh. The supreme nachos are also sooo good. You really can't go wrong with anything here! read more

I used ubereats to order my shrimp salad so I can't say much for the inside of the restaurant but I can tell you I cannot wait to order from here again. That salad was one of the most amazing salads I have ever had. It was piled with fresh veggies, grilled veggies like zuchinni and mushrooms, and then perfectly grilled LARGE shrimp. All of the flavors worked so well together and I was so beyond stuffed when I finished it. It was so delicious! I will be back! read more

Taco King Mexican Grill - Shrimp salad was amazing - Mexican Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

Large portions of fresh, flavorful Mexican-American fast food that delivers. What more can a woman want after moving all day? Or for any night that you don't want to cook? I loved the Chef's special burrito, which had chunks of chicken, beef and shrimp. Juicy, seasoned shrimp that was perfectly cooked. The Steak Quesadilla was ok. Cheesy and slightly dry steak. Will definitely call them again. read more

Taco king is my favorite taco place to order from. My hubby loves the chicken taco & I love their ground beef taco. It's so delicious big and good price. Highly recommend this spot! read more

Ordered here via UberEats. Certainly was not "blown away" by the food. It was very mediocre and it did not help that our UberEats guy was on a bike. The Tex Mex w/ nachos was half way cold. We had to add more cheese and reheat it. The grilled chicken tostado salad was "ok". It came with French dressing, which idk about anyone else, but it does not go well with a tostado salad. read more

Okay as newbie in Queens I am exploring my neighborhood and I came across this small gem. Its a small place mostly catered for "to-go" meals or people looking for a quick bite to eat. Almost looks like a Chinese take out Store turned to a Mexican joint. When I bit into my soft vegetable taco I felt all the veggies crunch in my mouth, their vegetables were fresh. Perhaps because it's surrounded by many local "farmer market" type grocery stores. Portions were just right. Meal felt lite and healthy. I see myself frequenting here more often in the future. It's cash only -- there is a HSBC bank across the st and a Chase bank on the same block. Prices are very reasonable! read more

we ordered through a delivery app since we had a craving. the prices at Taco King has always been a bit inflated even before the recent inflation peaks. the food is EXTREMELY basic and nothing really special, especially for the price. the side of guac in the picture (because there was no option for "full sized" guac AND chips) is a whopping 4.50. honestly i can name a couple other places for mexican food that we will start ordering from that isn't scamming us. read more

It's awesome! Quesadillas are 5 stars. Burrito is big and tasty. Happy to have this Mexican gem in our hood. read more

Love taco king salad in shell , such an amazing place for healthy eating too , nice dinner meal as well

This place looks like a not-good place from outside, but you should stop by when you are hungry! This Taco place is run by Chinese people, but they make good tacos for the price! Bang for the Buck? Yes, this is the place! I had a Combo meal that came with sliced grilled chicken with yellow rice, beans, salad, guacamole, and 2 slices of pita breads + salsa and cream sauce. It cost me around $7 with a can soda, and it was worth the money! read more

Taco King Mexican Grill - Combo meal! - Mexican Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

Taco King is indeed tasty. Tex-Mex isn't hard to get wrong- but Taco King sure gets it right. All of the ingredients taste fresh and are delicious. The prices are great too. I usually get the Chicken Burrito. The quesadillas are also a good buy along with their combination plate where you basically make your own tacos. I haven't tried the regular ol' hard taco shell taco because everything else is just so good. Service is friendly with the front counter gal always ready with a smile. The hot sauce/salsa is really tasty so I usually order a larger cup of it for my food. You can also order extra guacamole on the side. The nachos are... special. I still order them even though they're not the best. Sometimes I just want that tortilla chip crunch with my meal. There is seating inside so that's a plus. And for the late night owls like me- their closing time of 11 PM is divine. *** Cash Only! *** read more

Best tex- Mexican food in queens. Grilled chicken combo w guacamole or chicken burrito w pinto beans is my personal favorite. My boys and I have literally paid their rent a few months due to the amount of times we have been there since high school. Small minus is that their prices are slowly going up and the portions are getting smaller. Dont think i didn't notice. read more

Been a regular for over a decade! Everything is good, take your pick from their large menu and you'll thank me! My son is a regular and he's 14. They treat us like family and Mama (Asian woman and that's what we called each other) who used to be there all the time until she gave birth would always refer to my son as "the baby", "the usual for the baby? ", "does the baby want 2 or 3 tacos?" We miss her but everyone is really nice and the delivery person as well! Thanks Taco King! We love you always, will always go back! read more

I was exploring this neighborhood. I ordered chicken quesadilla. It was alright. Nothing fancy, nothing impressive, but it was quite well for the price. It was fast too. The only thing was the place was dirty. Garbage was overflowing, and it was not even crowded. Napkins were all over the floor. In fact i was the only customer. read more

This has been my go-to Tex-Mex place since I moved to the area in 2000. I've tried a few other places, but this is definitely the best. They're cheap, yummy, and consistent. Note: it is definitely Tex-Mex, not actual Mexican food. If that's what you're looking for... good luck in Forest Hills. The service is decent. They're polite and always get my order right, though delivery has gotten slow as of late. The last time they told me 40 minutes and we waited almost an hour before they came. read more

Definitely my go to at least twice a week a little pricey but worth it. Can't go wrong with the taco shrimp salad in the shell.

Taco King is great for fast food (Mexican) and late night dinner. Many nights when I work late everything else in the area is closed. But Taco King is always open till 11 or so. I always order the chicken quesadillas or the chicken tostada salad. With the tostada salad I ask for extra dressing because it's a large dish and one dressing just isn't enough. The only down side is they don't take credit or debit cards so make sure to bring cash. That's why I gave them one less star. The chicken burrito can feed two people it's just that big. Never disappoints. read more
