50 Best Taco Restaurants near Forest Hills

“This place is great! I couldn't find a reason to give it anything under 5 stars. Staff are kind and patient, atmosphere is nice, and food is so good I leave with my belly STUFFED every time lol! This place is turning me into a bigback. 😜“

“The most disgusting hookahs check out their pics and u will see they use old clay hookah heads. Very expensive and extremely rude staff it’s unreal they still work there.“

“Still a great place to get tex-mex food. They take credit cards now and are on food delivery apps but I suggest calling and ordering delivery directly from them.
They use skirt steak for their steak dishes. The Tortillas are fresh also. I love their salsa/sauce (the not spicy one). Food takes a bit to make, def not a bad thing. I suggest calling and ordering in advance. Very limited seating. Very busy place. People are always calling in or picking up an order.“

“Strange but wonderful fusion food!“

“This place is far more delicious than Taco Bell! A lovely and cozy taco café with a warm atmosphere. Located on a charming street that reminds me of European neighborhood culture, it’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy peaceful moments. Highly recommended for both the food and the ambiance!“

“Best Mexican I've had in NYC. Actual Mexican flavor to the meat and rice and salsas, with everything fresh (including the homemade tortilla chips).

I've spent time in Mexico and grew up around homemade Mexican food in CA, and NYC usually misses the mark. But this place does everything right. I finally found my NYC hookup.“

“Atmosphere, amazing! Food, top! Jeffrey, BRAVISSIMO!“

“Tacos Comal is following what every taco spot in Ny is trying to do; and that is to mimic the ever popular Tijuana style taco of course originating from its name sake and an ever popular option in California. And just like these taqueria in NY that try to mimic the look is there but the flavor cannot seem to get it right. These tacos are 3.5, although I cannot give it in my review it’s not deserving a 4 but mediocre is not by any measure and definitely does not deserve a 3. It falls in a 3.5 category. It’s not that the flavor is bad, it’s more that I don’t taste the authenticity. The salsas were weak and the biggest saving grace of this taco spot is its tortillas, which are definitely delicious.

If you’re looking for a good New York taco this is your spot! If you’re looking for an authentic Mexico or California taco they are to be found elsewhere.“

“my family loves this place. gluten free options great staff great atmosphere great food great times“

“increible servicio comida muy deliciosa lugar muy agradable“

“My family rented out or booked Tulum for a 70th birthday party and it was a good time. Nice pricing for the space but you had to buy their food and alcohol. The food was good and the drinks was ok. I definitely would reserve this spot again.“

“Great Al pastor burrito and super friendly staff!

I had just finished a late workout and was heading to meet up with friends when I needed some food. I saw the food truck and stopped by. I ordered the Al pastor burrito because I was super hungry which was $13. He melted the cheese which to me is always the most important thing and the rest of the ingredients are fresh and the meat was delicious.“

“We decided to try out this taco truck since we were in the area. The tacos are a little more expensive than typical places but the amount of meat in each taco made up for it! The flavors of each taco were so delicious. We got an arrangement of carnitas, carne asada, and bistec. We also got a side of guacamole and it was super fresh and delicious. The wait was a bit long so definitely order ahead of time for pick up. Overall, the food was really good and would definitely come back here again!“

“Spread Love & juice is the perfect place to get freshly made smoothies. Oh! did I tell you they also have wonderful customer service? Well they do!“

“Pretty standard of the mill taco truck place. Delicious meats and all. Would recommend“

“Right off the 7 train, you come down & it’s a white truck in front of dime bank/ k choice market, best tacos & salsas available late! Super friendly guys, always give you a tiny sample taco while you wait, you can’t beat their prices are pretty good for the quality of food you get!“

“Some of the best birria tacos I’ve had in Manhattan. The staff is friendly, patient, and very fast. What a wonderful place!“

“Best vegan restaurant in the City. The food is delicious! It has the old Candle Cafe taste and quality with the same chef. We always bring extra dishes home. And the service is warm, inviting, and quick. For an excellent healthy meal this is our go to place.“

“I love Moho, excellent attention. Everyone is very friendly, the food is very healthy and delicious... my husband and I love the birria tacos 🌮very much, we are in love with the place, it is excellent... I recommend it ❤️☘️“

“excelente servicio, muy buena comida y muy buen local, recomendado!!“

“Let me emphasize this, NOBODY and I do mean NOBODY, makes a delicious bowl the way Tacobees do. I live far and order with extra charges through Ubereats because it’s just that good and worth every penny. I get burritos the size of a tiny baby. I should know because I’ve had tiny humans before and those burritos are at least 2lbs or more lol.

The way the burritos and bowls are made, is just so good. They don’t skimp out on anything. It’ll be full to the absolute brim. Their queso and guac is hands down the best out of all other chains (Chipotle, Moe’s and Qdoba.) The steak and honey chicken is just chefs kiss. I love how my delivery is also always warm and the most important part, correct. They just get me and can take my check any weekend!“

“I stopped in just for the tacos — and that’s all you really need to know. The al pastor taco is the star of the show: perfectly seasoned pork shaved right off the trompo, topped with pineapple, fresh onions, and cilantro, all wrapped in a handmade nixtamal tortilla that holds everything together like it was meant to.

It’s not the cheapest taco in NYC (around $5.75 each), but the quality backs up the price. The meat was juicy, not greasy, and the sweetness from the pineapple balanced the richness of the pork. Flavor-wise, it’s easily a 9 out of 10.

Didn’t try the burritos or other menu items, but the taco game here is strong. If you’re into real-deal tacos that remind you of a Mexico City street cart, this is worth the trip.

Would definitely go back — especially to try a few more while they’re hot off the trompo.“

“I had one of their tacos for the first time today and it was indeed Delicious!“

“Delicioso y económico....“

“It is a hidden gem worth tracking down! Ordering was a breeze with plenty of options to choose from, and the staff was super informative and helpful—happy to answer questions and make great recommendations.

The tacos? Absolutely delicious. We tried the grilled chicken, fried chicken, grilled fish, and steak—and every single one was a hit. Flavorful, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. The food came out quickly, which was a huge plus, especially with hungry kids in tow.

While the seating area is limited, it’s just enough to grab a spot, sit down, and stuff your face—no frills, just great food. Bonus points for being kid-friendly—our kids loved it too. El Jefe is definitely worth a try if you're in the area. Top notch!“

“I’ve had a good experience in this Mexican restaurant. The food is delicious and the drinks are really good as well. Everyone is very friendly &’ the waiter Manuel is very attendant with his clients. He’s always asking if we’re good or if we need anything else. I like his customer service. Will be coming back to this restaurant.“

“Date night at Chela & Garnacha! Ordered the chicken burrito and the gf got the mole enchiladas and it was delicious! Margaritas were good! Staff was friendly and attentive ensuring we had our drinks replenished and was clearing out our table with the finished dishes. The restaurant was cozy with dim lights and felt intimate. Definitely a first date spot and will come back for sure! Highly recommend it! Will try the quesadillas next!“

“Chill location in Bronx, near Arthur Ave.

Tacos were perfect, frozen margarita were from another league and churros were amazing.
To add, service was fast and you always feel like your being served by a relative and not a stranger.

To add it all, pricing is a great value with respect to quality and service.

100% would come back“

“The Best Pho in NYC, the broth is delicious & Service fast and friendly. It been my 3rd time here. I was not disappointed. I recommend all my friends.“

“I just love that place every is kind The food is lean Fresh veggies 🍅 And those margaritas with watermelon and hibiscus I feel in heaven Kudos“

“Some of the best birria tacos I’ve had in Manhattan. The staff is friendly, patient, and very fast. What a wonderful place!“

“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..“
