“One of my favorite place to grab lunch during lunch break. Usually like their burrito bowl. Like the food but front cashiers behavior is not nice. All the time they make faces as if they are tired and not at all welcoming.
Need to work on that.
Thanks“

“Service is okay but not great but food is very good“

“Quick eats spot that I think is underrated. Amount of food is reasonable for the price and not to mention delicious. I ordered takeout but there are about 3 tables in the restaurant for dine-in. Also, it’s a mom and pop shop and their daughter works the register. They’re super respectful and sweet. You should definitely go support them and try their yummy food!“

“We tried Taco Express for the first time today. The food was delicious. The staff is very courteous and friendly. We informed them that this was our first time at the restaurant and they made us feel like at home. I highly recommend trying them out. You will keep going there again and again.“

“Simply the best….. better than all the rest. Our go to spot for authentic food and it always delivers. Family owned, not some soulless chain. Support a local eatery today!“

“Muy rico 😋 todo las bebidas son muy exotica’s 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻“

“First time here, got to try the carne asada tacos and carnitas chalupas, they were great! Juicy and tender. Our only issue was when we arrived there wasn’t any music playing for a while and out of nowhere loud music started playing which threw us off as we were sitting by a speaker. Will probably do take out moving forward because these tacos are definitely seeing me again.“

“The menu had so many great options! The food is great, we ordered beef tacos, a mixed platter, mango mock tails and a boba tea. The man who helped us was friendly and welcoming! My family and I had a great time. We will be visiting again!“

“First time visitor of Girasoles. Small neighborhood restaurant in the Jamaica area. There are a handful of seats, some bar style and a table or two. It’s summer so it’s a bit warm in there even with the AC running. (Sit in the back, AC feels better there.) The lady that took the order was pleasant. Decent service, suitable for the establishment.

I tried the Steak Quesadilla as my introduction to their cuisine. The steak was tender and flavorful, the Cojito queso was new to me but added to the meal perfectly. My platter came with shredded lettuce, one small tomato slice (could have used a few more) and a little bit of guacamole. This didn’t seem like restaurant quality. It was better, more like mom or abuela was back there preparing dishes. I added a Coca Cola, the cool glass bottle ones that taste just a little bit better than the others you buy. (IYKYK)

Reasonable prices, really good food. Will be back to try another dish.“

“Great atmosphere and vibe. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Our waitress, Jahira, was wonderful. She was quick to pivot when we needed something less spicy. Everything was cooked well and delicious. There were lots of birthday celebrations with staff singing. Great place for family dinners or date night. The non leche tres leches was dynamite“

“The atmosphere is great, very clean.
Service is great too, but the prices.

Ordered 4 tacos and did wait around 13min

It’s $4.5 taco but it feels like a $3 portion.
Should be around $20-30 per person with a drink, if alcoholic most likely $30-40.

Overall a good experience, if you wanted to tacos and more for your buck, prob food trucks are a better option.“

“One thing I miss about living in Long Island are the Tex-Mex restaurants. Yes, they're not of the highest quality, and usually they're in a cheap location, and the horrible customer service is always a given, but I do enjoy the food every once in a while.

After searching for a Tex-Mex restaurant, I stumbled across Taco King. This location is actually pretty big with plenty of sitting space. My usual go-to dish at a Tex-Mex place is the Grilled Steak rice platter, so I decided to stick with what I like. I thought the steak here was excellent. It came with one flour tortilla, rice, beans, salad, guac, and chili. The quality and proportion was better than what I expected.

However, it was crazy expensive. I know I sound old, but I remember that only a few years ago, the same dish was about $8 or $9. Now it's over $17! I would gladly eat here more often if the price was cheaper.“

“Stopped here for lunch yesterday and had the most delicious breakfast burrito ever! Staff were so friendly and very attentive! 10/10 recommend!!“

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

“Went there around 9pm we ordered the food the place was clean but we decided to take the food to go , when we came home the food didn't taste fresh at all the meats tasted like it was sitting out for hours. I had Mexican food before and to be honest in my best opinion the food was disgusting. A huge dumbs down..“

“Good food, nice fun ambiance and good Sangria!“

“A gentleman was outside the truck assisting with ordering and payment. We ordered quesadillas (middle picture) & a tlacoyo (1st picture). He let us know they have different cook times and asked if we wanted everything served together or as it was ready. Food was great! Not too heavy or greasy. The quesadillas are handmade tortillas that are thin, light but pliable and filled with a small amount of cheese and your choice of filling. They are topped with crispy, refreshing lettuce and crema with both green or red salsa on the side. The tlacoyo was a thicker tortilla with melted cheese and filling inside and again topped with refreshing lettuce and crema and salsa on the side. We sat on the side where stools are provided. Great food and friendly service.“

“Excellent service! Welcoming, clean, nice vibe and atmosphere! I will definitely return plenty more times!!!“

“Some of the best tacos we’ve ever had!“

“(No sabo, sorry), yeah you want to go here. This place is 10/10. They are easily the tastiest, best quality place around with a unique flavor you will repeatedly keep coming back for more (I have). AND with prices very competitive with others in the neighborhood, in a relative sense it won't cost any MORE to try out just how right I am.

Seriously, try this place and have a new favorite. You're welcome.“

“Karaoke, dinner and drinks always makes a great time better.“

“I love coming here. Great juices! Love it very much! ImThey have passion fruit juice, pineapple juice, coconut juice, horchata, and cantaloupe/melon juice etc.! 💕 It is delicious! My friend orders the Mexican hotdog and loves it. It comes with ketchup, mustard, mayo, pickles, onions, tomatoes. He said it is very good! My other friend orders the “ Tacos dorados” with chicken and they come with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese, and sour cream on top. My friend says these are very good too. Maybe could use more flavor he says but still they are very good! Photos are attached! They have a good Mexican steak torta which is a steak sandwich that comes with Mexican cheese, beans, guacamole, a sauce, lettuce, tomato, it is very good and I like it!!! The yellow lemonade in the photos with the steak torta is not from them. I also love their brown juice which is “tamarindo / tamarind” !!! Their other juices are very good as well !!!! 😋“

“I love this place excellent service And the food delicious“

“Espectacular 🥰🥰 todo muy rico“

“Mesita hosted my wedding yesterday. The staff were incredibly helpful from start to finish. And the food was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!! 10/10 recommend!“

“This place crushes Chipotle and Guac Time in both price and flavor. Great people at this location, always inviting while providing great service. Chicken Birria is to die for. Tons of options with many more choices to fill your bowl or burrito. Spicy queso and spicy guac to name just two. Churros are awesome as well. Hands down, the best fast casual Mexican food in Northeast Queens. We are already regulars.“
