    two plates of tacos on a table
    Rob M.

    Surprised this spot doesn't have more good reviews, I'd recommend coming by this taco spot after grabbing drinks and listening to the live music at Terraza 7 down the street. You can stand at the counter and eat if there's space or get it to go. I got the al pastor, lengua tacos, and a horchata. Ricisima

    I happened to pass by and without knowing anything about it, I decided to give it a try. This neighborhood has no shortage of Mexican food places but this counter was happening. Standing there transports you to Mexico or LA; one gets a feel of a different place. The ladies behind the counter warmly greet you in Spanish. After listening to me order in broken Spanish, one lady kindly replied to me in English and confirmed my order. The food comes served with a bottle of green salsa straight from the fridge. Everything is clean and orderly. I enjoyed the avocado sauce hidden under the foil, which was also cold from the ice it is on. I enjoyed the food and ambiance. This place is an overlooked gem!

    Carnitas burrito was saved by their delicious green hot sauce. My vegan girlfriend got a avacado salad, rice and beans. She picked out the cheese. We were nourished. The music is so loud, you can't hear the T except between songs. I'm not a big fan of having the radio and the TV on. Walking along Broadway, we saw 2 more versions of this restaurant.

    See TORTAS no prices! WTF?!?

    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.

    We stopped in for lunch on Saturday, and there were a few tables occupied, but the restaurant had a…read morecomfortable volume and wasn't too crowded. Our server was extremely friendly and helpful, and she was happy to answer all of our questions about the menu. The fish was fresh, and the ceviche was solid, although there was no wow factor. The standout for me was the Molcajete Norteño, the fried octopus with guacamole, which was delicious. The most annoying part of the experience was when a kid came in and turned the music up extremely loud, then started singing a solo and going around asking everyone for tips afterward. We gave him $3 for his effort, but honestly, it was more loud and annoying than entertaining. I'm not even sure if he worked there or was just someone who came in off the street. Overall, the food was solid and the service was friendly, but I'm not exactly counting down the days until my next visit.

Soft, flavorful masa and generous filling. I also tried tacos and a quesadilla, and everything tasted homemade and well seasoned. You can tell they know what they're doing here. The toppings were fresh, and nothing felt rushed or sloppy. The vibe is simple and welcoming. It feels like a local neighborhood gem. Prices are reasonable, portions are solid, and the food actually delivers.

    After a gym session, my sister had a craving for tamales, so we decided to check out this place…read moreshe'd been eyeing. Having never tried tamales before, I was pretty eager (thanks to her positive comments). We sampled both the adobo ($2) and birria ($2.5) tamales, and they were absolutely amazing. Personally, I found the adobo tamale to be slightly better in terms of flavor but both were equally well made with its rich, flavorful seasoning. My sister, who has tried tamales before, mentioned that these were even better than the ones she got from the random tamale table (near Woodside), thanks to the diverse flavor options available and how fresh they came out. The customer service here was exceptional. A friendly lady approached us, handed us menus, and took our order with a warm smile. Even though tipping isn't required, their service went above and beyond, making us feel genuinely welcome. We also couldn't resist trying the birria taco ($4), which arrived piping HOT. It was generously stuffed with birria, making it a hearty and satisfying choice. While it was a tad salty for my taste, my sisters thoroughly enjoyed it and had no complaints. Our total order came out to a little less than $10 for three people, which was perfect for a light snack before heading home for our protein dinner (get that protein intake in! EEEEEEEEEE)

The daily specials all looked del and the Chicken in a spicy pumpkin seed sauce was sold out. They let me try the sauce and it was slammin! I ordered 2 Quesadillas at 12.00 each. Menu online is outdated but they adjusted the prices in house with a pen. Huitlacoche ( corn fungus or smut) made with onions and some added corn Flor de calabaza ( Zucchini flowers) Both with no overpowering seasoning and not over salted The staff do not speak English so considering I speak Spanglish and understand most cuisines it was easy for me. They are very friendly!!! Somehow someway the man (Abuelo) knew I am genetically Italian. Again super friendly staff. Outside is the taco grill inside another grill plus the kitchen. This is definitely a NYC hole in the wall prize like many spots in Queens. It's not a 5 star ripoff joint and don't expect Tex Mex Bring a friend more don't you will be happy

The filling was rich and savory, and tasted great with the salsas on the side. I also tried the atole, which was warm and subtly sweet with nice blue corn flavor. For a total of $16 (in cash), this meal was also a great deal. It's worth the trip!
