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

“Had the pleasure of dining here over the weekend. Lets start with the ambiance, perfectly lit warm and inviting. The service was impeccable from the host to our server everyone knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. Now to the food, arguably some of the best Oaxacan cuisine I have tasted outside of Mexico. The crudo was so fresh and vibrant the short rib memela was one of the best dishes I have had in a very long time. Everything was fresh and tasty. Thanks to everyone who made this meal such an amazing experience. Truly looking forward to my next visit!!!“

“It's a nice chill spot for a couple or group of friends. The food is really good and it comes to your table quickly. The people are very nice. They also have take out..there is street parking and a rest room. Wheel chairs are ok since it's on the street level. With no ramp. And small outdoor dining space

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes a wheelchair can get into the place. It's ground level, no steps. They can dine-in or take out.“

“I looked up what foods in the area were top rated and this little restaurant popped up. So I went for a try. Got the steak nachos and WOW. Everything taste fresh and even the chip were crispy fresh and taste homemade. The crema, beans, steak well seasoned, guacamole all paired wonderfully and perfect portions of each. I hate getting nachos with 80% chips, 10% beans and barely any protein. This place knows exactly what they’re doing and I can’t wait to try other stuff on their menu. Also it’s a very small restaurant with limited seating. I took my food to-go and it was well packaged and hot.“

“Honestly, if you are looking for a really amazing spot to get a halal burrito or Mexican food, Guac Time is literally the best option. I have been coming here at least once every week since I found out about this place and honestly the food is so addicting. The service is great and employees are so welcoming.“

“I don’t understand does this place not read the instructions of their orders ? Why do you always forget to add the sauces when the instructions specifically says to put in on the side. The sauces are one of your main attractions and the only reason I order. Or else I’m better off ordering from chipotle. Please get it together I will not longer be ordering from here.“

“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!“

“Amazing food at a good price with great portion sizes! I always get the chimichangas and I love that you get rice, beans, a salad, and a couple plantains - it's usually enough food for me to stretch it to 1.5-2 meals, even though the food is so good I want to eat it all at once.“

“delicious food and drinks. i came for the happy hour solo and sat at the bar. the service was super friendly and i have no complaints. i had 2 passion fruit margaritas and enjoyed the nachos with chicken. i came here from harlem and will definitely be back with friends next time!“

“Super amazing what highly recommend the Ramen was my most favorite place in the churros were amazing with the caramel dip. I feel like other people should go to this place too and I feel like this is just the best restaurant I ever been in New York City.“

“The customer service is wonderful, from Adrián specifically, and the food is even better. It manages to maintain the authentic cuisine of Mexico and at the same time provide a touch of modernity. Plus the party music and colorful lights simply bring a great atmosphere!“

“Hungry looking around for a place not too pricey to have a quick made me come across this little Mexican restaurant.
Nice atmosphere with Banda music which is classic to Mexican restaurants (I don't mind it as long as it's not too loud)
Our waiter was a kind gentleman. He could've been a tad more attentive in refilling chips or just give updates from the kitchen but, I'm not really bothered.
Food was delicious it just took a good minute for us to get it.
Things to note: no parking, they charge extra for paying with a card.
Overall, I will probably come back. Just because new York is too large to explore. You really need to make a good impression to have repeat customers without seeing other options first.“

“I loved my experience here. Now I should warn you, this place has a lot of character. If you want something a little boring and sterile, this is not the place. Victor was an incredible host and the food was fantastic.
I won't forget it. Such a nice time.“

“exelente comida y ambiente, muy recomendado.“

“While the burrito was good, I paid $5 extra for barbacoa and it was pork, $16 is too much for a pork burrito. How can I tell? There was crispy skin and barbacoa does not have that.

*Update: the business clarified I was lamb - it did taste like pork to me but I don't eat Barbacoa often so I'll take their word for it.“

“Enjoyed the delicious foods, lovely plating. Left happy and satisfying. Would recommend to anyone to eat there.“

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

“Delicious authentic Mexican food, beautiful decor, sophisticated chic ambiance, mood lighting, friendly service, and live Salsa music on Thursdays.

What's not to love?!

Reccos: their mocktails and specialty drinks; corn ribs; enchiladas, chicken, and fish entrees. So far we've loved everything we've tried.

Please let the staff know of any allergies and they will assist accordingly.“

“Fun place for a date. The tacos were really delicious (shout out to the al pastor) and the michelada and margaritas were tasty. Service was slow at times and the biggest knock is they're a bit overpriced. Overall, a solid spot and worth stopping by if you want good food in Forest Hills.“

“Loved this spot! Great food and service!“

“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.“

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

“This spot is hands-down the best taco I’ve had in New York city. They make their corn tortillas from scratch and all of the proteins are out of this world delicious. I met the owner Carolina, she is absolutely delightful. The space itself is really cool, and word is definitely spread in as to how awesome the food is. Definitely suggest anyone in the Bushwick area to come swing by and give this place a try. It’s literally a perfect taco.“

“So this place opened up less than a year ago.Me and my husband have definitely been here at least 4x ... Let's start with the bartender ( same guy every time) his personality is absolutely amazing.The whole atmosphere is insane.Lee literally like a breath out of the Bronx for a minute... I can't stress their shrimp tacos enough... it is my ultimate favorite but I also had prime rib taco's last time & beyond ?... Me and my husband have date night at least 2x weekly & if you want an intimate atmosphere that's décor is beautifu. l.Music is mexican music which is very fitting but know this "you're gonna spend money" for 2 ppl a shot and a Margarita each then an entree. y appetizer is gonna.
Cost you around $200 and it's worth it every time!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“My partner has been coming here for atleast a decade and it remains his favorite taco spot. He brought me here and I am equally in love! The service is top tier and the chef is always up for a challenge! I have had multiple experiences with ordering something off the menu and the chef has always come through with something delicious! Highly recommend this spot and the shrimp tacos are the best I have ever had.“

“la comida es muy buena y deliiiiii“

“Decided to treat myself to dinner and went to check out this place. Came in during a dinner rush and was seated right away. A nice dark atmosphere. I ordered the NY strip steak and I gotta say it was amazing. Cooked to perfection, melted in my mouth. Cooked like a real steak a perfect medium rare. So good on its own and didn't any sauce but it came with a delicious arbol chilli salsa. Great service with friendly staff. I can't wait to come back and try the lamb tacos amongst other things. I highly recommend a lovely dinner here“

“Food is absolutely delicious!“

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

“Been coming here for over 10 years. Everyone is super friendly. Food is always good!“

“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 just moved to Queens and discovered this mexican restaurant! I had Tacos al Pastor and Tacos de Carnitas. They were great and the prices are unbeatable! They are open until late night, which is great for cravings at night!

Would definitely recommend to people living in Queens!“

“awesome menu items great service“

“Guac Time Mexican Grill – A Must-Try Spot!

Guac Time Mexican Grill is one of the best places for fresh, flavorful, and halal Mexican food. The burrito bowls, spicy chicken, and vegetarian options are always perfectly made.

I also want to give a special shoutout to Aarti, who is by far the best employee I’ve ever encountered at Guac Time. Her service is exceptional—she’s friendly, professional, and makes sure every customer leaves satisfied. Aarti’s attention to detail and perfect portion sizes elevate the dining experience even more. Kudos to her and the entire team at Guac Time for delivering such outstanding service!

If you haven’t tried this gem yet, you’re missing out. 10/10 would recommend!!!“

“Food and service is AMAZING! You NEED to try this place out! Will be coming back more often to try out every item on the menu 😋“

“Chano’s Cantina is a must-visit! The Eggs on Steak is a perfect combination of flavors—succulent steak topped with perfectly cooked steak and eggs. The atmosphere is warm, and the staff is welcoming. I highly recommend this dish for lunch. Great experience overall!“

“I needed a quick lunch, so I tried this place. I had a chorizo taco and a tinga de pollo quesadilla. The taco was awesome! The sausage was cut into tiny cubes and grilled, not soaked in oil and grease like some places. And the tinga was excellent, not dry, and had that great tangy flavor I love. Everything was fresh, and the prices were very reasonable. If I'm in the neighborhood again, I'll definitely go back.“

“Had such a relaxing evening here. From start to finish everything was perfect. They made the guacamole fresh infront of us. Albert our sever was fantastic he could not do enough for us. Carlos on cocktails made the best mojitos we have ever had! Cannot recommend enough. Best Mexican we have had in NYC!“

“I got three tacos (carne asada) and they have great tacos. They were very fresh and they highly recommend. There a little more expensive but their worth it. We come here during our lunch break during work and its always great. Extra good today!“
