“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.“

“Very nice place to get some tacos and drinks, they have an outdoor area so now that the weather is getting warmer its perfect. Drinks also come with a popsicle, very fun and tasty. Highly recommend the tacos, the chicken mole was okay, not my favorite, but not bad either. Flan was creamy and delicious. Also they allow dogs if you’re sitting outside, I brought mine and they even filled his water bowl :) we will be returning!“

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

“My favorite place. I love to go there everyday.“

“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“

“I was starving and near by and a burrito i knew would cure what ails me.

Got the birria burrito, thing was huge, came with consume and was amazing. Felt like it was made with love. Chips and a coke and I don't need to eat got the rest of the day.

10 out of 10, would totally stop by here again. Not even just because I am starving.“

“this place is the best, the food, the atmosphere, the drink!!!“

“The food is good and has been very consistent. The tortillas taste homemade and the salsa is great. I’ve ordered 3 times and I haven’t had any issues other than maybe forgetting my salsa one time. I really enjoyed the battered fried shrimp tacos a lot. Pricey but worth trying and giving a chance.“

“Ive been coming here since it opened, the food is very good and its good for both large groups or if you just want to sit and have a beer and and a couple of tacos. I recommend the tacos gobernadores and if you’re here for brunch the enchiladas jarochas are great.“

“exelente comida y ambiente, muy recomendado.“

“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!“

“Great place! I went for brunch and got myself some chilaquiles and a michelada, the perfect hangover combo.

The chilaquiles were the real deal, like the ones I had in Mexico, perhaps a bit spicy, but that was part of the experience. Buenísimos.

Shout out to Beto at the bar too. He’s such a friendly guy.

Now I need go back for some mezcalitos.“

“Loved this spot! Great food and service!“

“great food great drag show brunch a full bar w amazing cocktails been going there for years now never fail!“

“Mom and pop FRESH Mexican. Come! You will not be disappointed. The tacos!!!“

“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.“

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

“I lived in Chicago for like 15 years and Chicago by-and-large has better Mexican food than New York. This is one of the first spots I've hit that really impressed me. Really enjoyed the food and the vibes were nice. We shared guacamole which was excellent, really well seasoned and with great texture. I got the birria tacos, and I went with people who got (IIRC) shrimp tacos and fish tacos respectively. Everybody was happy with their order. Will go back, no doubt.“

“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.“

“Exceptional, truly exceptional service. The bartenders are Amazing!! They make every customer feel special, very personable and attentive to your needs. Food is delicious and thoughtfully made. Drinks…strong. A gem, I honestly can’t believe exists in the Bronx. Definitely recommend!“

“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!“

“Incredible restaurant. Food was over the top incredibly creative and delicious. People were super friendly. There was even a sweet karaoke singer who came in and lit the place up even more. But seriously if you’re interested in an absolutely incredible meal, go. Impossible to regret and prices were decent.“

“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…😉😋👏🫶‼️“

“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“

“amazing restaurant. foods, drinks, are greatly delicious, waiters are awesome & cool, Chano the owner is one of the best, my friends like that place too.. oh yeah...“

“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“

“Muy rico 😋 todo las bebidas son muy exotica’s 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻“

“I have been coming here for the past 8 years or so. The food is amazing, it’s been consistent every time I come. The staff is attentive and make sure their guests are doing well and continuously asking if we need anything. I love their drinks, I’ve had mojitos, margaritas, etc. Lorenzo always welcomes my friends and myself with a smile and amazing energy. The atmosphere has progressed overtime and keeps getting better. I highly recommend coming to visit hungry burrito for delicious food, great drinks, and a great time.“

“Food is absolutely delicious!“

“Absolutely loved it here today for lunch. Our first time eating here and we will definitely be back soon!“

“Great food. I love the agua de sandia.“

“A fantastic Mexican restaurant within walking distance. The food is phenomenal, and the service was exemplary. My family ordered the brunch for my family member's birthday. Patient and kind server, and great prices!

5/5 stars, highly recommended.“

“awesome menu items great service“

“The food is prepared with high quality products and the taste is definitely authentic. I love green tamales and Rajas, especially when they are just out of the olla because the dough feels soft and the salsa is spicy and runny.“

“IT WAS HORRIBLE. AS A MEXICAN I DO NOT APPROVE, THIS PLACE HAD BAD BAD FOOD, FIRST OF ALL THEY SERVED ME AN ORANGE WITH TACOS, WHO DOES THAT? WHO IN THE RIGHT MIND GIVE ORANGES WITH TACOS, NUH UH. ALSO, I FOUND OUT THAT THEIR GUACAMOLE IS NOT EVEN MEXICAN RECEPIE, IT TASTED LIKE WASABI WITH TOO MUCH MAYO EXPECT IT WAS NOT EVEN WASABI, AND ALSO THERE WERE NOT ONLY HAIRS IN MY FOOD BUT THERE WA A FRAKING ROACH SINGING LA CUCARACHA WITH MEXICAN HAT AND LITTLE TINY MARACAS. THIS PLACE IS OUTRAGIOUS“
