“Drove all the way here from New Jersey and it was worth the drive!!!!!!! 20/10 food & customer service! Luz was very welcoming and gave great recommendations. The guac and chips didn’t last for too long as you can tell by the picture. but the quesabirria, enchilada and tacos are a must buy!! i’ll probably be back to eat tomorrow lol“

“Taqueria Tlaxcalli is absolutely delicious!“

“everything was delicious, atmosphere was fantastic, service was great. Highly recommended!“

“I had the best chorizo torta of my life here. I like trying tortas from Mexican places wherever I go to compare, and this place knocked it out of the park. It's locally owned and operated. Loved having a latte with the meal since it was kind of brunch.“

“If you need a spot to get a taco bowl, burrito, quesadilla or taco go here!!! This place is better than chipotle. The staff here are so amazing, friendly and sweet. And the food is amazing with so many options. They also have a deal for teachers, student, MTA workers and healthcare workers. I always have a great experience every time I go here!“

“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 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“

“When we review restaurants it should be in the context of what they are, and what they are for. This is a beyond serviceable lunch spot that seems to invalidate existence of the nearby chipotle, and possibly even the nearby sweet green.

The food is fresh, the prices are reasonable and the portions are immense. The staff is friendly and the place is clean.

The food is also, by the way, quite tasty.

There are a lot of lunch options in the neighborhood but this is clearly one of the best if you are seeking a chipotle style meal.

I feel as if given the context I have no choice but to give this place five stars“

“Very authentic, the fish tacos are awesome, light . The tortillas are also light and original, flavorful. Enjoy the “ Baja fish tacos very much ! Top off with their “Tres Leches - dessert! Umm!
Like the waitress who waiter on us “ and you said you wasn’t very hungry !” Daniella and Tiffany were great , very helpful and informative. 👍🏽👍🏽💯🙏“

“Loved this spot! Great food and service!“

“Comida súper autentica, deliciosa, sabrosa y los precios súper accesibles! 100% recomendado“

“i never had a burrito in my life and never planned on having one but when i had there chicken burrito i fell in love and only get burritos from here faithfully. I even worked at chipotle for sum time and didn’t even eat burritos there. this is the spot ive been coming here for years but every couple of
months cause i live far. but i make sure i make that trip everytime im around. last time i ate at the place they treated me like family. they insisted i pay after my meal and im done and kept attending to me with either extra suace or a drink. i love them it’s like a homey mexican kitchen that ur teleported in.“

“We had a great time at this location. The atmosphere was cool, the music wasn’t loud, the waiter were busy. For appetizers we had the “CORN ESQUITES” and it was delicious. For our meal we had a feast of food. We try different types of tacos (AL PASTOR, BAJA CRISPY FISH, BEEF RIBEYE DELUXE” and their burritos and it was great! The price of the tacos were steep, I ain’t going to lie. Also if you like American style tacos with lots of cheese and sauces, then these might not be the tacos for you. The alcoholic drink were good! The “Mexican” soda in the bottle was flat for us.

Street parking in this area is not the best.

The food was great.“

“Affordable, fresh, and quality service! The ahi tuna is always really tasty and fresh. Can’t go wrong with their chips and guac/salsa, burrito, or tacos Mexicanos. I do recommend dining there if you’re going to get the nachos to make sure that the chips are crispy. Nachos are tasty for delivery too but nothing beats eating them extra fresh in the restaurant. The aguas frescas are also a must try! Definitely check this spot out if you’re local or order for delivery! The guy at the front is always super friendly and portions are BIG!“

“Came by for Sunday brunch. Welcomed and seated by a hostess at the bar with a smile. I recognized the bartender/ server - Diego, from my past visit and so did he. A friendly guy with smiles who walked me thru his fav’s - which I asked for. I thoroughly enjoyed my mocktail, Tiradito de Tuna, shrimp ceviche, corn ribs, fish tacos and Tres leches…😋🫶‼️Great energy in the room with live DJ. This place wins for its “presentation” of any dish with flavors! Great food and friendly staff. This is my nth visit and will frequent it. Ty for making my day off…😉😋👏🫶‼️“

“The restaurant is beautiful and the food was delicious!“

“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“

“Delicious, authentic, homemade food.“

“Was here for the first time Awesome all around - everyone friendly - great food - great entertainment !“

“exelente comida y ambiente, muy recomendado.“

“Saludo banda estoy aquí Las chilangas les recomiendo que la quesadilla 🌮están súper delicioso vengan ah pasar con sus familia y el servicio es espectacular.“

“This restaurant was on my list for a while and was happy to finally stumble upon it. Our waiter Johnathan was great, witty, and knowledgeable. We had the draft beer, esquites, tacos de Barbacoa, duck mole, and the pastry/hot chocolate dessert. Food was balanced and delicious. If I had to be critical for this restaurant to reach its peak success- I would say the mole did not come out as hot as it could have (was just slightly warm) and the tacos de barbacoa could have used more balancing and freshness to it. Would definitely recommend and come back“

“Was skeptical about this place at first because I didn't want to pay $5 for one fish taco (shame on me) BUT after tasting it... I was hooked! Especially since they use cod and not tilapia like other places do.
The establishment is authentic and the food tastes like it with really reasonable prices and great food. Now fyi the guac and churros aren't the best by themselves. You should order the guac mixed in and the churros.. I don't know what to advise on that one but hey you might like it.. idk
The agua frescas are delicious especially the watermelon when in season.
I can definitely say try them for that quick casual local neighborhood spot that will satisfy your cravings for Mexican food. ❤️“

“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!“

“I have been coming to Hacienda agave for a while now, the food never disappoints, today I had their Guacamole for the first time and it’s by far the best guacamole I had in a long time! Do not hesitate to come the staff is also VERY hospitable they make you feel like you are visiting an old friend“

“This place is a true gem!
Authentic, delicious quality food, friendly service and festive, yet intimate atmosphere.
The restaurant is clean, welcoming, Victor was friendly, helpful and entertaining. I ordered the special, Surf & Turf with diablo sauce as a main dish. Very flavorful. Freshly made guacamole was very good with chunky avocado and lime taste.
We enjoyed dining here.
We'll definitely come back to try other dishes!“

“Came in here today at random and got a green smoothie and a chicken pastelito. 10 across the board. Workers here are super friendly, place is clean and smells good and the food is amazing! Love they made my juice natural and the chicken in the pastelito is so good and moist.“

“The food and drinks are AMAZING! I fell in love with this place! I can’t wait to go back. (I had the best cocktail drink I have ever had in my life!) Thank you so much Artemio for your great service!“

“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. 😜“

“Came in on a Friday at noon - the interior was welcoming and clean. I ordered the La Callejera and it was delicious! Service was quick and very nice. Portion was big for me - ended up eating half and will be eating other half for dinner. Would definitely come in again. Order total was about 21 for the torta and a Mexican coke.“

“We sat by the bar, where our bartender recommended an amazing seafood appetizer special for the night; it blew our minds. We also ate the broccolini and steak and were amazed at the flavors of the dishes. The drinks and dessert, also recommended by our bartender, topped off the night. Treat yourself to an amazing meal with friends or family where you’ll be in for a memorable experience.“

“Looking for good tacos for the longest and finally found them here. Every bite of the pastor, chorizo and asada filled me with joy. The drinks were amazing and the churros were to die for. Please visit this establishment and continue to visit because you won’t find tacos like this anywhere else.“

“la mejor comida de NY esta en al 🌶 chile. las semitas y tortas sonnsu especialidad, ya que ellos mismos hornean su propio pan, los desayunos son espectaculares, y sin dejar atras todos sus platillos del menu, son recomendables, hay que hir con un buen estomago por que se antoja todo. gracias a todos los del staff por poner empeño en lo hacen, ""cuando haces las cosas con amor los resultados son espectaculares ".“

“Everything in this place is just PERFECT!
From the cocktails to the food, the service, the music, the salsas, the decor, even the silverware and napkins — everything is on point. Finally, Bed-Stuy has some truly amazing Mexican 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“

“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“

“I got the chicken over rice. Solid quality chicken.

Whoever was running the cart looked pretty tired in the heat :(. Nonetheless, he was still very attentive and kind!

Very quick. Will be back! Thanks so much!“

“Me and my daughter, enjoyed this restaurant so much during our Mommy and Me weekend! The atmosphere was laid back and quite relaxing. The service was superb and the food was so good, we had to order food to bring home. I would give this establishment 6 stars if I could. We were both very pleased and we will be dining here again very soon. If you have not been here, you should definitely give them a visit. Peace and Love, Chele from the Block.“

“The staff is always friendly and attentive, and the kitchen staff consistently produces quality authentic delicious well presented meals. The drinks are great, the mole is the best in Astoria, the guacamole is prepared fresh to order, and the calamari is tender and crispy. One dollar oysters ( always plump and fresh) is the reason we tried Chano’s, and we’re so happy that it’s a regular menu item!! Great staff, talented Chefs, authentic Mexican cuisine in a charming casual setting. It’s one of our favorite restaurants in Astoria“

“Lo recomiendo por el hambiente porque el servicio de las meseras es pesimo y la comida y los tragos tardan mas de una hora en entregartelos despues de ordenarlos y aunque ya tengas reservacion toda via tendras que esperar en la Estrada del restaurante un buen tiempo.“

“What a gem! I stopped by Ay Chiuwawa in Astoria and was blown away. The place is super clean, the vibe is welcoming, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive from the moment I walked in.

I ordered the birria tacos and they were absolutely amazing — packed with flavor, cheesy, juicy, and just the right amount of heat. You can tell they put care into their food. Everything tasted fresh and authentic.

Highly recommend this spot if you’re in the area and craving delicious Mexican food. I’ll definitely be back!“

“awesome menu items great service“

“awesome menu items great service“

“this place is under appreciated tbh, the staff are super sweet and food is fire, i love the barbacoa tacos, black bean soup is soooo good i go back for it and chips are also homemade really yum. flourescents are not my fave but DEF go for this spot over the place across the street!“

“Featured on Binging with Babish. This is an excellent breakfast burrito, we tried both the bacon and chorizo burritos. I slightly preferred the chorizo - hints of lime, big chunks of avocado. This is a hefty meal at a very good price. Excellent service, kind and friendly staff, and perfect to take to the park“

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

“Excellent and delicious Mexican food with an amazing customer service. I had a wonderful time and enjoyed the food. Thank you much “El Mero Mero” I totally recommend your restaurant. 🥰“

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

“I think this type of establishment would grow as a multi-million restaurant/bar lounge cozy with long day at work needing nightcap with a speck of tiny sports catch up caps, if this t business was in a duplicate form of same business yet new gambling hot spot location, example: (taco bar part 2) or whatever you want to call it with a 2 or add on reflection of the business. I think your business is the model and dream of how black owned businesses can really make it in the big city of NY. Your product poses as role model of someone you’ve inspired to create their own. Thanks for your commitment and your goal to continue improving in our community. Keep up the great work.:
