Attentive staff, fast service and good food. The space is kind of small and they were really busy but we went on a Sunday at around 1pm. We did not make a reservation but when we arrived we were told someone was a no show and we were seated immediately.“

“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..“

“The quintessential Mexican food in NYC experience. Fast attentive service, family owned and operated, delicious, mexican comfort food.

The tamales were huge for only $3.50 and I tried one of each, also maybe the best tamales I've ever had.

Also tried the chicken mole, it was absolutely scrumptious. Perfectly cooked and the mole sauce super rich and finger licking delicious.

Ordered 4 different tacos, the chorizo was the favorite of the day.“

“I reached out to Ridgewood Taco Factory to host a surprise birthday party, and I truly could not have asked for a better experience. Aidan, the owner, was incredibly helpful and wonderful to work with throughout the entire planning process.

For one set price per person, we had unlimited plates of five different types of tacos, empanadas, chips, salsa, guacamole, elotes, churros, and rice pudding, all served hors d’oeuvres-style with a waitress walking around with fresh plates of food throughout the party. Beer, sangria, and margaritas were included as well, which made everything so easy for us as hosts.

Aidan went above and beyond by creating a special taco just for the birthday girl and even printing custom menus for the occasion. We weren’t expecting that at all, and it was such a thoughtful, sweet addition that made the party feel even more special.

The food was fantastic. Everyone was raving about the tacos, and the rice pudding was an especially huge hit, it was served with these cinnamon sugar chips and diced mango and was SO good. Even the French fries we ordered for the kids were amazing! Everything came out hot and fresh, and we could actually see the food being prepared throughout the party.

The restaurant itself is adorable, I barely needed any decorations. I was initially a little worried that it might feel tight with 30+ people, but it was honestly the perfect size. The cocktail-style setup worked so much better for a party like this than a traditional sit-down dinner because everyone could walk around, talk, eat, and enjoy themselves.

Our waitress was incredibly friendly, attentive, and accommodating, she even took a bunch of pictures for us, and the bartender was great too, he definitely knew how to make a good, strong drink!

From the planning to the food to the service, the entire experience was wonderful. Aidan and his staff made everything so easy for us and helped make the birthday feel genuinely special. I would absolutely recommend Ridgewood Taco Factory for a party or event or even just for take-out.

Thank you so much to Aidan and the entire Ridgewood Taco Factory staff for making it such a memorable night!“

“the girl who receives you is friendly the food is delicious, the waiters are very friendly“

“Gave this place 5 stars because I always come every so often. I’m always treated well. The food is always good. I do prefer to come late night after midnight. I love when the guys cook the food. I never had issues here. I’ve been frequent for a year now or coming up on a year.“

“I had a margarita, guacamole, and three types of tacos which were all fantastic! The guacamole is fresh and drinks were quite good. The meat was wonderfully prepared and juicy and the salsas were very flavorful. I’ve had a lot of tacos and these were really exceptional. I wish I lived close by. The servers were wonderful and the restaurant has a nice back patio.“
