    Tacos Al Pastor
    Paul B.

    I had the opportunity to eat in and the service was great. The food was also good. I had the Al pastor tacos and were very delicious. I have also had tacos AL pastor to go.They wrapped it up nicely which made it stay warm after my 10 min walk home.

    I come here for the horchata. I'm not talking about the whispers that you hear when you're in a brothel. I'm talking about the most famous Mexican drink. Other than Corona, I suppose. And speaking of houses of ill repute, Sting once left a note in one, for his favourite "lady of the night", or perhaps gentleman of the night (I have no idea, ask Stewart Copeland he might know). Later he wrote a song about leaving the note and how he felt afterwards. It was called "Message In A Brothel." Probably the only Police that were ever really popular in New York City. What to get: Horchata. What else: Tacos. Anything else: King Kong is dangerous to planes. So is Godzilla. They both like to "Swat-Aero Planes." So pilots be warned. I didn't love the Horchata this time as much as I did last time and every other time I came here so maybe I no longer have a taste for it or maybe it isn't quite as good as it used to be. Maybe they changed the powder or something - it's hard to know, but I still liked it. However for $3 for a small I wanted it to be a little better than it was. Really really friendly service though and I appreciate that. If that hot Colombian singer that is married to Pique ever has a sex change and becomes a man, she can open a joint named "Tacos Al Shakiro." There are three reasons why Tacos Al Suadero is one of my favourite places in all of NYC, and why I come here on basically every trip to the region, even if it's out of my way. (1) They have delicious tacos. Not the best in the world, but definitely some of the best in NYC. (2) They are open 24 hours a day. Can you believe that? In this day and age? A little Mexican place in Queens? I know, right. Super awesome and a huge plus. But best of all: (3) They have, quite literally, some of the best Horchata I have ever tasted. I'd put it as my all-time number one, in fact. Just ahead of Taco Nazo in Columbus and Valle Of Mexico in Buffalo. Granted, I'm still trying Horchatas to add to this list of faves, but I've had a lot of bad ones, and a lot of mediocre ones, and only a few truly excellent ones, and this Horchata is right at the top of the tree. It has just the perfect blend of cinnamon, water, milk, and rice. I get a large (which is expensive... the small is only 2 or 3), and it seems like a half gallon. It lasts for ages and is so cool and refreshing and light and delicious. And when it's done, I invariably wish I had another one. So these days, I often buy two large. The funny thing is, these large are given in plastic to go containers instead of cups. Tupperware-style. So they're incredibly hard to drink or store in a car without spillage. But whatever. They're just so damn good. If Enrique Iglesias opened this place, he'd whisper the name to you in the middle of the night, like this: "Tacos Al Te Quiero. Mi amo." But then he's a bit of a man-wh*** is he not? Which is fine with me. In fact it's wonderful with me. (Tosses hair). Speaking of late night horchata. You should have seen me running around Queens at 2am with one of these things trying to catch the last subway train back to my Econo Lodge Motel last summer the night before I flew to Brazil. I did not do too well with it. Lots of spillage. White stuff dripping down my pants and the like. I wonder what people thought. Actually I know exactly what people thought and I'm okay with that. And by the way, I missed the last train and ended up waiting an hour for a bus that never came (with a bunch of other disgruntled late night folks) and then taking a taxi instead. And if this were in the Middle East, it'd be "Tacos Al Jazeera." Which is great if you Dubai. I generally don't. I do hetero. I do homo. I don't tend to Dubai. Sorry if that is a disappointment to some. And back to those tacos, they're exactly what you would expect from tacos. Excellent pastor, good asada, nice chorizo. Greasy, filling, cheap. Much like the tacos at the trucks in the area. They remind me a little of Coatzingo just a little way down Roosevelt. Real Mexican tacos made by real Mexicans. The service is pretty good. The 24 hour thing is why I come here so often. But the Horchata is the shining star of the show. And if this were a cheap shampoo and conditioner shop, it'd be "Tacos Al Suave." It'd be owned by Rico Suave. Which would be ironic, because you'd probably only shop there if you were not Rico at all. I would know. I can barely afford the rice paper this horchata review is printed on. Anyway I make homemade Horchata. I can whip some up right now for you if you like. Close your eyes. I don't want to reveal my secret method for making it. :)

    I truly enjoy this place. And I don't just really say that about every place that sells tacos. The service is top notch. They speak English, but definitely more Spanish which is great because then I can practice. I love that you can get a caldo, a burrito, or rice and beans. I'm not only saying this because the family next to me journeyed all the way from Jamaica for this authentic food. It's the fact that the tacos are are packed full of delicious ingredients. There's crisp cilantro, freshly minced onions, diced tomatoes, and lemon wedges galore. It's so good that I'm eating the leftovers right now. Yum! I'm definitely returning.

    Shit

    Enough said, I've had it ordering food from these people. Terrible service on top of that, what is this? No hate but this is over the line with these fries stuffed with tons and TONS of oil.

    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 .

They offer a different special for any day of the week, first time around on a Thursday Margaritas special , Tamarind & Mango nice big glass great margaritas, good tasty & nice & strong They start u off with some cake pieces, has a banana bread taste very good. Apps , we tried the Tostones con Birria very good great tasting meat & Chorizo Mac & cheese , also very good. Main dishes , Al pastor tacos & Chicken Burrito were both very good. Next time we stopped by for brunch, we got the bottomless option tried the Sangrita white, good sangrita price wise makes sense assuming u drinking more than 3-4 glasses a person. On the food Carnitas Benedict & short rib hash were both very tasty. For dessert gave the Tres Leches a try not bad, just the right amount of sweet. Another brunch visit & we tried Paloma spritz, good & Mexican coffee, pretty strong in taste. Chicken & waffles topped with bacon, very good chicken good combo dish. & the Lady's enchiladas great taste the enchiladas w the green sauce & cheese on top. Good size restaurant, small bar area towards the back, simple but colorful decor. Service overall has been good, they are attentive. Reasonable prices & u get a decent amount of food. This place has been around for some time, happy we discovered it recently overall good vibe, food & drinks, we will continues to visit from time to time.

    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.
