50 Best Taco Restaurants near Forest Hills

“Interesting that 108th Street offers myriad kosher and halal eateries; just walking here makes me feel holier than thou. I stop at Taco Kings, whose prices seem untouched by inflation since I left the neighborhood a few years ago. An underrated virtue of the place is that it works just as well for gathering with friends as for reading and studying alone.

Over two excellent veg tacos, I read a Times editorial in which centrist economist Jason Furman confessed he couldn’t read the economic tea leaves—too many conflicting signals. He’s one of those one-handed economists LBJ once lamented. Whatever the macro outlook, I can say without hesitation: I love this taco place.“

“was afraid to post this review because places this good should stay secret. the food was incredible. so flavorful and fresh, truly magnificent. would post pictures but the food was so good i licked the cardboard tray clean before i got a chance to even think about photos. amazing portion sizes. food is filling, tastes incredibly fresh, and seasoned perfectly. looking forward to coming back“

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

“I was craving tacos in the middle late at night and was struggling to find anything open that would have decent quality. This place pleasantly surprised me – their tacos were delicious and very well-made. I ordered shrimp, veggie and barbacoa with guacamole as an extra. The portion was huge, and each type of taco was great, not worse than in any nice taco restaurant. Definitely recommend it.“

“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.“

“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 ❤️☘️“

“Absolutely incredible tacos. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful, like eating organic street food straight out of Mexico 🌮🔥 The portions were super filling without feeling heavy. You can tell there’s real care put into the food. Juan was also such a friendly soul and made the whole experience even better. Definitely one of those places you leave already planning your next visit.”“

They always make sure you get the best service and never fail to provide it! Next time your in Williamsburg, get yourself some Taco Rapido!!“

“the steak bowl was amazing 👏“

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

“This spot is so much better than the original in Greenpoint. There was no line when we went on a Thursday evening for dinner and we ordered right away. Our tacos were ready in about 3 minutes. They serve all different body parts of the pig. We were less adventurous and stuck with the classics- cheek, butt, belly, fried belly and tongue. The tongue was the standout, followed closely by the fried belly but I would 100% order any of those again. The tacos were perfect. There was plenty of seating so we were able to enjoy our tacos (and a little sink to wash your hands!!), and the service was so warm and efficient. 10/10 experience in every way.“

“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“

“Although they are a little pricey, coming here was a nice experience. The food was really delicious. I had ordered 2 orders of street tacos priced at $10-if you want chicken. My youngest got a mac and cheese from the kids menu which was priced at $12. The small guava drinks were $5 a piece. In total I paid $59! I didn’t expect to pay that much at all. If you’re on a budget, you may not want to go there. However, the restaurant was clean and cozy, the bathroom was clean and comfortable, and the customers were calm, respectful, and kept their voices down. Great environment overall, with good music!“

“Just had some of the best tacos from this local truck 🌮🔥 The food was fresh, flavorful, and made with real care. You can tell the owner puts his heart into every order—working hard, staying friendly, and keeping everything running smoothly even during the rush.
It’s not just great food, it’s the dedication and hustle that make this place special. Definitely coming back and highly recommend everyone give it a try!“

“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..“

“Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian tacos and they were so fresh omg. Delicious. I also got guacamole and chips and it was made on the spot, hot chips and all. 10 out of 10

Kid-friendliness: So polite and calm. They were helpful with making choices, prices were great . These people need to be noticed. It was an amazing experience.“

“If my friends drag me to greenpoint I will stop here before hitting any bar 100% of the time. Every single thing I’ve ordered has been delicious you can’t go wrong, seriously. Great salsa options and roasted peppers for us pepper heads. I literally cannot be in the neighborhood without stopping here. Thanks guys!“
