50 Best Taco Restaurants near Forest Hills

“Great food and hospitality! Definitely try a Gringa Quesadilla and the Esquites!!!“

“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.“

“Carnitas Ramirez is one of the most authentic taco spot I tried on the East Coast. We went there on a Saturday night and tried six different type of meats, all flavorful and melting in the mouth, with a special mention for the crispy pork belly. Do not hesitate to try the most unusual cuts! These are among the most surprising and delightful one.“

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

“went to the west 43rd street location in Manhattan. huge portions and excellent food“

“This place was amazing! We tried the birria tacos and they were absolutely incredible, super flavorful, juicy, and so fresh. The pollo quesadillas were also really good, perfectly cooked and satisfying. Everything tasted fresh.
Definitely a spot we’d come back to again!“

“great tasting food also good service and environment“

“I visited this taco spot and the food was amazing! I wasn't entirely sure what I ordered because of some unfamiliar terms on the menu, but except for the quesadilla, we tried 6 different items and every single one of them was delicious.
However, the seating is quite limited and not very comfortable. If you live close enough that your tacos won't get cold on the way, I’d highly recommend ordering takeout instead.“

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

“We are so thankful to have Candle right by our apt!! Their Black Bean Quinoa burgers and Chickpea Burgers are amazing-we order them 2x a week!! Great soups, great kind staff, just overall a great neighborhood gem.“

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

“On a rainy day exploring the city, this little place didn’t disappoint! The tacos were full of flavor and a great price! The barbacoa taco was so tender! My hubs had the steak quesadilla and chicken taco- all perfectly seasoned! Everything was better with the salsa bar. Great portion sizes. Do not sleep on the hibiscus aqua Fresca- delicious! The place was clean and easy to eat at while the rain fell!“

“Hands down the best spot around here. Unfortunately I'm moving to Brooklyn. But I will be definitely come back here! Amazing tacos and burritos. Better than popular chains nearby. Authentic food is always winning! Also, the guys are great, pretty fast and positive!“

“After hunting for good Mexican food for over a year, it’s safe to say this place checks all the boxes. The staff are always friendly, the food is divine, and the portions are reasonable. There is limited seating, but it is cozy and nice if the weather is good. I will say, if you order through an app, the portions are quite a bit smaller so it’s worth going in-person. Everything is good so you can’t miss, but I especially love the beans they use in the Al Pastor burrito and the salsa verde.“

“I recently hosted a holiday party at 690, and everything exceeded my expectations! The atmosphere was vibrant, the space was perfect, and the bar options were excellent. We rented the entire upstairs private floor with a cash bar, and it worked out beautifully. They catered the event, and the food was absolutely phenomenal, with plenty of menu options to choose from. If you're searching for a venue to host your next event, I highly recommend considering 690—it’s a fantastic choice!“

“Delicioso y económico....“

“Definitely check this place out! The owners are so friendly and experienced. The staff is hospitable and attentive as well. Will be back“

“Strange but wonderful fusion food!“

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

“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.“

“Fulton Burger Park Slope is a nice casual burger spot in the neighborhood. I tried the Truffle Burger and Cajun fries, and both were very tasty. The burger was juicy and flavorful, and the Cajun fries were crispy with good seasoning. Overall, it was a good experience and I would come back again.“

“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 ❤️☘️“

“the steak bowl was amazing 👏“

“It’s rare that I rate any place a 5. I really wanted a birria pizza for my birthday but they ran out of birria. Destiny went above and beyond to make it up to me. She surprised me with a bunch of other options that were amazing! Surf and turf tacos, and chicken tinga tacos are a 10/10! Very professional, very sweet!“

“Friend and I ate here for the first time this weekend and it was so good! The owner was so sweet in making sure we had a place to sit and that we had everything we needed. And the food beats Chipotle or other quick service Mexican places by miles. Will definitely be eating here again.“

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

“Went to the brand new Houston location and things are a bit rocky with staffing and supplies but I want to brag on your employee CAMILLA ! We came from NC and after visiting Puerto Rico several times I was so excited for this experience! She was so patient with us! Answered all our questions with a very helpful and cheerful attitude even tho she was drowning in drink orders! With only one other helper, she never showed any frustration and provided excellent above and beyond customer service! The cashier with her was brand new and super sweet as well! Camilla even gave me a hug when we left! She made my whole morning! And gave us the absolute best breakfast recommendation as well! Thank u so much Camilla for your grace and kindness this morning. U had no idea that my Morning started out so crappy, and your sweet personality and loving spirit really turned my day around and the tres leches latte was AMAZING 🙌🏼🩷💯 yall go see them and be patient …..it’s worth the wait ❤️ side note… the whole place is decorated beautifully! Love the swings ✅“

“Esse Taco keeps things simple, and it works. I tried the chicken taco — juicy, well-seasoned, and served on a fresh tortilla that held everything together nicely. The flavors were balanced without being overcomplicated, letting the quality of the ingredients stand out.
The space is small and casual with mostly standing tables, but service is quick and the focus is clearly on the food. A solid spot if you’re looking for a straightforward, well-executed taco.“

“increible servicio comida muy deliciosa lugar muy agradable“

“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.”“

“Nice cozy neighborhood spot good for drinks and appetizers and food great ambiance“
