“Chill location in Bronx, near Arthur Ave.

Tacos were perfect, frozen margarita were from another league and churros were amazing.
To add, service was fast and you always feel like your being served by a relative and not a stranger.

To add it all, pricing is a great value with respect to quality and service.

100% would come back“

“The music is always on point. Come on a sunday if you are into Karoke, it is a vibe.“

“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“

“Kaur & Sunita were very kind in greeting me & my friend. They both were patient and gentle in preparing our meals. My veggie quesadilla was delicious and made exactly as I asked.
Veggie Quesdilla: sprinkled with light cheese, bell peppers, lettuce, cilantro, tomatoes, red cabbage, spinach, & tofu.

I'll be back from New Jersey.“

“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!“

“Absolutely a hidden gem! The meat is juicy and flavorful. Really hit the spot. It’s hard to believe we have authentic Mexican cuisine in east queens. But this place hits. We will definitely come back

Huge bonus to the service and free tortillas chips & salsa

There special items on weekends such as Taco de oreja and Taco de lengua“

“Amazingly delicious food and equally fantastic staff!! We ate there earlier today and were blown away! They even made something that we requested that wasn't on the menu and it was better than we've ever had! The atmosphere was fun and welcoming too! We will definitely be going here regularly and suggest everybody else does too. I promise you won't regret it!!“

“food is tasty and fresh. service is very pleasant atmosphere is welcoming I will be back“

“awesome menu items great service“

“Great mexican restaurant, dinner for four last night and everyone was raving!!“

“I did enjoy the food at Hellbender, but the service could have been better.
We were among the first guests seated, yet it still took about 5–8 minutes for our server to notice us and bring water.

The portion size of aguachile is quite small, considering the price. The Brussels sprouts lacked flavor.

On the positive side, the empanada was amazing, as were the mushroom tacos and fried cheese.

Update: The brunch menu is so good and tasty. The service was much better than our previous visit.“

“This family run restaurant serves super duper tasty, authentic Mexican cuisine. I loved the Mulita pastor. Everything is high quality right down to the limes. They even make their own hot sauces! Best of all, the folks working here are so sweet and attentive. It was my first time in this neighborhood but I wish this place was closer so I could come a lot.“

“The birria tacos are excellent, genuinely exceptional, and my wife's vegetarian huarache was perfect. The service was fast and everyone was kind, even though we showed up while they were trying to eat lunch. Thank you! Sorry we interrupted lunch!“

“Absolutely a gem! The service by Katherine was amazing! So sweet! The food was muy delicioso! Fresh guacamole and shrimp tacos! Strawberry margaritas and Micheladas! Exceptionally clean! Will be back when I visit NY again! May be back before I head home to MD once my daughter gets home tomorrow!

feliz acción de gracias
Happy Thanksgiving!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Súper BUENOS estoy de vacaciones y birrialandia estaba en mi lista 100 % recomendado“

“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.“

“My family and I ordered a quesadilla mixta, a chicken quesadilla, and tacos with carne asada, al pastor, and birria plus chips and guacamole and everything was absolutely incredible. Every item tasted fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. Easily a 100 out of 10. I usually order for pickup, but this was my first time trying delivery and it arrived in just 20 minutes. Fast, fresh, and seriously delicious. We’ll definitely be ordering again!!! Un review de una familia Colombia que aprecia la comida Autentica Mexicana, Muchas Gracias!“

“La comida súper rica 100% recomendable“

“exelente atención todo el tiempo“

“Deliciosa la comida lo único que le hace falta un lugar donde la gente se siente a comer tranquilos 😌“

“Came for the breakfast burrito and now I want to come back and try everything else. I was craving a breakfast burrito and this was one of the few places that had them on the menu. Really good flavor and the chorizo was not super fatty. The chile de árbol sauce is chef’s kiss! It was also a nice touch to have some café de olla (coffee sweetened with raw sugar molasses and cinnamon), which brought back some good memories. Service was top notch. The decoration is fun too with some Lucha Libre artwork. The tamarind sweet at the end is fun. They have some traditional Guerrero food that would be worth coming back for.“

“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.“

“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!!“
