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.“

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

“Fantastic food and service. My new favorite taco place. Get the horchata!!“

“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.“

“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.“

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 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.

“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 was really good. amazing staff“

“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.“

“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.“

“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. 😜“

“This place never let's me down. Very affordable, authentic and the staff is kind and welcoming. My favorite order is the green steak enchilada, and I also go for some mexican staples in their grocery section. I do usually order to take out, but delivery has proven to be fast and efficient if you are in the available area“

“I discovered this place when I was looking for places to eat at by my new job and I am so glad I found it. I love how authentic it is and the prices aren't bad too! They have a decent sized menu options and they're always super nice to their customers. I order from here at least once a week and recommend everyone to try it! This is more than a deli!“

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

“Food is absolutely delicious!“

“Work down the block and this spot is reliable and consistent for good Mexican food. Small and independently owned, so definitely worth checking out/supporting! It’s interesting when people say small business prices are expensive, when everything is expensive right now. If more of us supported small spots, they could keep prices lower. Go check them out“

“I had my birthday here such a great place to have any celebration, the food was amazing the wait time for the food was not too long, and The staff was friendly and willing to help making it special and enjoyable. The price was too high though that was the only thing that was the issue. But I recommend this place“

“I don’t write many reviews but felt compelled to write something here. Was at the car wash across the street and decided to drop by for a quick bite while waiting. Some of the best Mexican style tacos in New York, let alone the Bronx. Highly recommended.“

“The outside of this restaurant looks like a run down deli, but I can assure you, just enter and you will find a small restaurant that serves up amazing and cheap Mexican food. The staff didn’t speak the best English, but we managed to order easily and got our food pretty quickly. The food is great and checked off all the boxes for me. The portion felt just right for me as well. Great neighborhood spot to get Mexican food!

Parking: Street parking only, but extremely limited

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs. Entranceway is a bit tight“

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

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

“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“

“Omg! Just what I was looking for! Since opening the new location, upgrades to the seating and big tv screens give this pace a wonderful atmosphere to eat in and enjoy! They have nintendo video games at each table with so many games for kids , teens and adults to choose from.while you wait .the food is delicious!

“Pizza la Mexicana muy buena se los recomiendo“

“They have the best corn tortillas for their tacos. I've had the chicken, steak, and chorizo tacos. Chicken and chorizo are both fantastic. Steak is alright. The green salsa is really tasty. It's nice to sit outside on a lazy sunny afternoon, have a few tacos and a Jarritos, and then go about my day.“
