50 Best Taco Restaurants near Jamaica

“They have been here for ages! The food is absolutely delicious. The price is absolutely worth it considering they do not skimp on the meat and give you no fatty parts. The service is always excellent. It’s always the same man there everyday 7 days a week and he is always in a great mood and super sweet. Its cash only. Call your order in!“

“We stumbled in after a long flight from Germany, where the Mexican food situation is charitably described as underwhelming. The woman behind the counter greeted me pleasantly. A couple with suitcases and half-empty plates canoodled at a four top. La Isla contestants mirrored on two large TVs attempted to complete an obstacle course.

"Hello," I said, "we are very hungry and in desperate need of tacos. We eat everything... except tripe. No intestines, please. Tongue, beef, pork, chicken, fish - whatever. I have been awake for 28 hours, and I have no capacity left to make a decision. You are the expert. Can you please bring us whatever is the most delicious? I trust your judgement."

The woman looked at me, a little puzzled. "How many plates?"

"Enough for two adults and a kid with a hollow leg. And... do you have Jarritos? Tamarind, maybe?"

"It's in the cooler there. You just want me to make you some plates?"

"Yes, please. I think you'll make better decisions than I will. You know what's awesome."

We grabbed the Jarritos (Tamarind, Mandarin, Pineapple) and sat down. We watched La Isla while waiting. Mouthwatering scents began to waft toward us. After a short while, the angel behind the counter approached bearing plates laden with everything that I didn't know was missing from my life.

Succulent and tender lengua, pliant steak, perfectly plump shrimp, and al pastor redolent of cumin, achiote, sizzling fat and just the right amount of char piled atop rice and wonderfully squidgy refried beans. Nopales!! Fresh green cilantro, tart lime, crisp white onion and tight rolls of steaming hot tortillas, all ready for me to shove into the mouth part of my face.

WE DEVOURED IT as locusts upon an untouched field, or perhaps just hungry travelers in search of a delicious meal. It was everything I had hoped it would be, and healed a part of my soul that I didn't realize was broken. I was grateful for every decision in my life that had led me to that moment, eating a perfect taco and swilling tamarind Jarritos with my family.“

“The food served here is delicious, and I have eaten here for many years. The lamb over rice takes the cake for the best food you can get, and there is a generous amount of sauce and meat, with bell peppers too(white sauce + hot sauce is the best option). Best gyro you can get around and I don't agree with the other(older) reviews about bad customer service, as I have been consistently receiving good service.“

“I stopped in for lunch yesterday. The staff is friendly & curteous. I had the Carne Asada Burrito with a side of Maduros and glass of Horchata. Everything was super delicious! I'll be back for the Quesa Birria Tacos next! I highly recommend this restaurant. Hey Pedro, great service! I'll give it 6 out of 5 stars!“

“Come in, sit down and enjoy some Mexican food.“

“Food was delicious and portion was a lot. Service was on top notch and delivery was on time. I took the pic while we were eating, it was more tacos and quesadillas but we eat it. Churros were very delicious and crunchy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside. We often order food from this restaurant so I decided to review it today. Employees are very courteous. Birria had lots of meat and full of satisfying flavors. The price was reasonable. I highly recommend.“

“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!“

“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 ❤️☘️“

“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.“

“The server did a great job with navigating the menu. It was our first time going to dinner there.“

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

“Delicioso y económico....“

“increible servicio comida muy deliciosa lugar muy agradable“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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..“

“Came here at 8 pm on a Sunday, normally I get nervous going somewhere late because it’s about to close but the staff was amazing, waitress great and attentive, food and drinks came out fast and was soooo good. Excited for my leftovers!! If I lived near here I’d come all the time. Definitely recommend.“

“I just ordered a smoked Brisket Pho, the Brisket was well cooked, the Broth was savory. Highly recommend!!!!!“

“I am absolutely thrilled to share my heartfelt gratitude, on behalf of the Center for the Women of New York (CWNY), for the incredible support we received from Avo Taco during our recent fundraising gala, Taste Around The World Fort Totten. Avo Taco truly went above and beyond, and their contribution made this night truly unforgettable. As an organization that heavily relies on the generosity of local restaurants, we couldn't have asked for a more dedicated and enthusiastic partner than Avo Taco. They not only delivered but exceeded all expectations. Avo Taco's commitment to our cause was evident from the moment they stepped in. Avo Taco brought more than just delicious food to our event; they brought a whole atmosphere of festivity. Their staff's warm and friendly presence added a wonderful touch to the evening. The tacos they served were an absolute delight – bursting with flavor and prepared to perfection. The guacamole paired with tortilla chips was a crowd-pleaser, and their attention to detail, right down to the decorative beads, truly helped create a festive ambiance. Avo Taco's generous contribution played a pivotal role in ensuring the success of our fundraising gala. It's businesses like these that make a significant difference in our community, and their dedication to giving back does not go unnoticed. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Avo Taco to everyone in search of not only delicious food but also a business that is deeply committed to its community. Avo Taco, thank you for making our event a resounding success, and we look forward to continuing to support your business as a token of our appreciation for your unwavering commitment to ours. You have our heartfelt thanks!“

“Walking distance from subway. Across the street from a nice park. Somewhat manageable paid street parking. Amazing staff and service. Very cozy with only 2 tables and a counter. Very extended menu, you will definitely find something you like, vegan, vegetarian, or meats. Lunch specials are all great. Fast service. I'm getting lunch there at least 3 times a week, every week. Go try it and thank me later.

Parking: Street parking, during lunchtime, should be ok.“

“Small restaurant in the back, but best food and it’s only around the corner. From sandwiches to guacamole, helps satisfy my cravings for the day. Even have healthy options! (Cleans salad well)

The delivery could be better, but they are small.“

“My mom makes a killer pozole but this one is a close 2nd and that's saying something. The pozole is off the chain good, specially the green one de pollo or pork. Just amazing place. Please go and give them your business, you won't regret it.“

“Food is absolutely delicious!“

“Im new to the area and just walked in expecting a regular deli but this is TRULY a hidden gem, the food is so fresh and flavorful. I got the Philly cheesesteak and it was soooo delicious. The staff is super friendly as well. Will definitely be coming back!“

“Best birria tacos out there. Amazing consome. Two tacos each and we split a (large?) consome. Reasonably priced - I can’t imagine much else in the area is as affordable. Took about 20 mins after ordering, but we didn’t mind. The guys working the line were putting in overtime. Take out orders continuously pumped out to a never ending revolving door of doordashers. Pretty loud and chaotic but that was part of the fun of it. A few small tables and a small bar-style counter to sit at. Looked like a small market in the store as well. 10/10“

“I was a big fan of the fried fish taco (Californian?). I was very disappointed since it was replaced by Floridian. They don’t taste the same. Any chance to bring back the fried fish taco?“

“son muy ricos y las personas q atienden son demasiado amables“

“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!“

“Great good . Worth the money. Great beef tacos and fried fish tacos. Food was very fresh“

“I used to eat here a lot before moving to Florida, I miss it all the time“

“Delicious food and drinks ! The waiter was so nice! Very clean place ! There handmade tortillas reminded me of Mexico! We had the ribeye. Shrimp cocktail. Pizza birria. For drinks the pineapple fresh water was the best one. Would definitely be back on the weekend to try their Chivo!“

“Absolutely fire. I was out of the city for like a week and this was the first spot I ran to when I got back home. The service is always impeccable, the staff is so sweet and care about satisfaction. The birria & tinga tacos are phenomenal, highly recommended. I have a gluten allergy and have not gotten sick, so truly 10/10 across the board.“

“muy Rico todo yumi yumi 100% Comida Mexicana“

“I was reluctant to eat here because the sanitation is rated a B (which most restaurants in this area have). I wish I ate here sooner, I live very close.

I ordered 2 chicken tinga tacos. The wait was short and the server was friendly. The portions are generous and the red sauce is spicy! I only needed a few drops. The radish, onions and cilantro are fresh and crisp.

I prefer corn tortillas but the taco was great and tasted very authentic. I’ll be back soon“

“I've witnessed these guys get pricier and pricier but that still doesn't stop me from coming. At this point I've tried everything on their menu but I honestly just keep coming back for the tostadas and the tacos. They're probably the best to go spot in the area. Just try to avoid coming here when the Roosevelt ave bar scene is alive and poppin' cus otherwise it's not really Taco Veloz“
