12 Best Mexican Restaurants in Elmhurst

“Came for the breakfast burrito and now I want to come back and try everything else. I was craving a breakfast burrito and this was one of the few places that had them on the menu. Really good flavor and the chorizo was not super fatty. The chile de árbol sauce is chef’s kiss! It was also a nice touch to have some café de olla (coffee sweetened with raw sugar molasses and cinnamon), which brought back some good memories. Service was top notch. The decoration is fun too with some Lucha Libre artwork. The tamarind sweet at the end is fun. They have some traditional Guerrero food that would be worth coming back for.“

“Rica la comida y muy buena la atención 👍recomendable 💯“

“If you guys are interested in a very great Bacon, Egg & Cheese Sandwich for breakfast, NEJ Josefina’s is the best place to visit. $6.00 for a sandwich like this is not bad at all.

As a resident in the Elmhurst neighborhood, my family and I have been fighting a lot to find a great location for breakfast and lunch. Until my family members told us about this place telling me that their Bacon, Egg & Cheese Sandwiches are really good. In the block by where I live, there is a deli close to the Elmhurst Avenue Subway Station, and their sandwiches aren’t that great. According to a store employee, she told us that a breakfast sandwich like this costs you $8.00 each. And when she told us that, that’s when we said no. Not because we’re not interested, it’s because their sandwiches aren’t too great.

In my personal experience, I’ve tried their Carne Asada Quesadilla Combo. I have to say, they are so good. I like the fact that they not only make you a quesadilla, but they also include rice and beans and a canned soda priced at $12.79. A little bit expensive but it’s worth it. I still recommend this place. But the only thing that is not great is that the space is so small that you can’t even go through if you need to grab other things to buy while your food is being prepared.

I would definitely recommend coming to this place.“

“My second time at Juquila and once again the food did not disappoint. Just love the state of their food. Delicious, served promptly and you just want to return as soon as possible. My only pet peeve is going downstairs to use the restroom but what can you do , it's New York! Juquila is now my Mexican spot when I visit family in Jackson Heights.“

“They have the best breakfast sandwiches. on the neighborhood. They vary from brewed Coffee to handcrafted drinks. As well as refreshing fresh pressed customized for your preference greens juices. Amongst that they have mexican bread and different Mexican products and much more. I highly recommend this “

“Quaint little spot with excellent food“

“Super nice staff 💗 waitress kept checking up on us. Just came too early.. looking forward to trying lunch & dinner 🍽!“

“THE PLACE IS VERY SMALL BUT IT IS COMFORTABLE, AND IN COLD WEATHER IT IS GREAT BECAUSE THEY OFFER YOU COFFEE, CHOCOLATE OR DOUGH ATOLES OF DIFFERENT FLAVORS, THE FOOD IS GOOD AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS FRESH, THE PRICES ARE AFFORDABLE AND THEY ALSO HAVE A MINI BAKERY, TRY THE STEWS FROM THE DAY THEY ARE VERY RICH..“

“buen ambiente y buena comida“

“Very good spot, there may be a lot of Mexican restaurants but this is my go to spot not only because its close to me but the food is delicious and I would say the portion in good too, you get the regular sized tacos not those mini tacos you get in most places that barely satisfy your hunger/cravings. Only small flaw is they should accept debit/credit, there are times when they do and don't but overall very good restaurant.“

“Everyone is great, from the person who takes the order to the person who delivers it. Very pleased.“
