“The loaded fries are amazing reminds me of my home town California has some of the best Mexican foods and this make me feel so close to home foreal… I think I order these at least twice a week eventually I’m going try something else because I know it’s good well I have tried their churros and those was really good“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“A gem for Mexican food. The owner Ernie is unbelievable. Always goes far and beyond to make me a happy customer.
Most important, everything is very fresh and made in front of you.
I always go for lunch and dinner and order in.“

“The taco choices are amazing and delicious“

“I went here with my girlfriend. I ordered the Norris plate and she got the carnita quesadillas with a side of rice and beans. I enjoyed my food, and it came out quickly. She also loved her food and she finished all of it. Furthermore, she had the mango and strawberry margarita slush and she liked it; it was a bit strong which was a plus“

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

“If you are looking for authentic Mexican food, look no further. This small family-owned shop is putting out some of the best tacos I’ve had in this area. Everything was fresh and delicious. It’s a tiny space with a big personality, and the service from the family is top-notch. A must-visit!“

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

“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.“

“Every service I've experienced at Hellbender has been remarkable. Their approach to hospitality is warm and thoughtful while each dish holds a place for authenticity and playfulness. Perfect for special occasions with a group of friends or mid week dinner by yourself and everything in between.“

“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!!“

“Second time ordering take-out from here. They’re really friendly and have great service, but it’s not going to become my next favorite unfortunately. Food was okay, ordered cheese birria tacos which I thought would be cheese crusted rather than just some shredded cheese tossed inside.
The birria consome was great though! I think it was missing some salt but when combined with the tacos (as it should be) it was a perfect combination.

The place is small though, not a lot of seating space and the space that is available is a bit tight, so that ruins a bit of the atmosphere for me. But, for takeout nearby, I think it’s in the right neighborhood and deserves its round of applause.“

“Guac Time Mexican Grill provides an excellent modern twist on classic Mexican fast-food staples with a completely halal menu. The build-your-own bowls and burritos are packed with fresh ingredients, crisp toppings, and very generous portions of meat. The guacamole is remarkably smooth and flavorful, making it a highly recommended addition to whatever you order. The store layout is clean, bright, and casual, offering a highly satisfying option for a quick and wholesome dinner.“

“I’m Mexican and very critical of Mexican food outside of Mexico. To start, servers Carlos and Paulina were super friendly, welcoming and attentive. First item on the table? Drinks and house chips. I ordered Jamaica water like I never seen before and the taste yuuuumm. Presentation was key. Chips were super crispy almost like real toasted tortillas (maybe they were) and instead of your typical salsa or pico de gallo, they were paired with a cheese dip with a little twist of hot pepper. Simply delicious. Don’t want to tire anyone but trust me when I say TOTALLY worth it and very reasonable prices and the decor of the place… so so nice. A true gem and highly recommended..“

“awesome menu items great service“

“Pasamos una despedida de año espectacular los meseros muy atentos los tragos muy buenos la atención en si muy recomendada aparte la comida deliciosa 👍“

“From the moment you walk in here the atmosphere is just friendly vibes. From the fresh squeezed lime on the margaritas, whether frozen or on the rocks to the authentic Mexican food you definitely feel the great vibes. I would definitely recommend for a good bite and smooth drink to finish off the palette. Whether it’s a day date with a friend or your little kiddo (nice friendly kid food menu) they will not disappoint. Let’s not fail to mention I’ve seen the Knicks game here- and they were super accommodating! Thank you all for your amazing service!!!!“

“They had amazing vegetarian selections here and the food was absolutely delicious! I had the burrito and the portion was great, super authentic! The drinks were the best part though! We had the Lady Spanglish and Pisocito which are perfect flog you’re into spicy or slightly bitter drinks. We will definitely be coming back!“

“My friend nd I wanted Birria tacos so we found this restaurant off of TikTok. I stood in the car while he got the food but when he came back with the food he had a huge smile on his face. He said the costumer service was amazing and the lady that served him (I’m not sure of her name but she was an older lady) was very nice to him. She even gave us an extra free water. Not to mention the birria tacos were unbelievably delicious!! It was packed with the birria meat and the consume to go with it was so yummy. Amazing food and 10/10 experience.“

“We had the best time celebrating a special birthday at Ondas by Fuego
From the moment we walked in, everything just felt right. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a family night out. The kids absolutely loved the food (which is always a win), and every dish that came to the table was delicious and beautifully presented.
What really made the experience stand out was the service—attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. It’s not always easy to find a place that checks all the boxes for both adults and kids, but this one truly delivered.
Such a memorable night, and definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to!“

“I’ve ordered delivery from them twice now & both times those carne asada tacos were chefs kiss! 💋 they fill those tacos up (and double layer tortillas too) and add this delicious guacamole sauce/salsa… 10/10 and will be ordering more. $4.50 per taco is worth it here, period. You get your moneys worth.“

“I ordered 3 tacos (the enchiladas, el pastor, and carnitas). Everything tastes fresh and flavorful. The meat wasn’t dry and flavorful less. It was a very quintessential Jackson Heights experience. I will definitely order from them again.“
