Mexican Restaurants near Long Island City

“It the best Mexican food I ever eat.“

“Stopped by because I always pass here! The tacos were good and came with a lot of meat. They added cilantro and onions. Next time I'll probably add cheese and sour cream. They do not serve guacamole. They have a lot of Latin ingredients for sale. If you need specific ingredients for the perfect salsa or Mexican dish you can find it here. The prices are inexpensive and great for a quick lunch or dinner. It's more of a deli not a restaurant!“

“I ordered at the counter which saves a forced $2 tip if ordered on their website. Paid $12 cash. I ordered the spicy pork burrito which was generously stuffed. The pork was juicy, seasoned superbly, and blended well with their rice. It came with a small side of about 6 fresh homemade tortilla chips and a small red sauce. I thought it was better than Chipotle.“

“Clean and comfortable place to stay. In room bathroom ? and shower. Toilet in separate room and shower in separate room. Door separating beds and toilet and shower, with sink. Lockers below each bed. Early check in is allowed. Baggage storage is allowed. Very nice staff. About five minutes to subway and bus stop.“

“Mostly fine or good experiences. The workers there work really hard and get your order to you really fast during the lunch rush. They run out of vinaigrette often and have stingy portions during lunch rush--fyi for the vinaigrette fans. Avoid going at the end of the “

“I came on a Monday evening and I got a reservation the day before. There were plenty of reservations available. The servers were nice and came to refill our water often. The food was unique and I don't get a chance to eat elevated Mexican food that often. I ordered: * Swordfish Tacos - 9/10 - The charred flavor on the swordfish was really good, and the spicy sauces added heat and a slight tanginess. The taco didn't have many toppings but the simplicity of the dish is what made the individual flavors shine. * Lamb Barbacoa Tacos - 7.5/10 - These had good flavor, but I felt like they were missing something. The meat was a bit dry, and all the ingredients were soft. I think adding another texture would elevate it. * Soya Marinated Tuna Tostada - 8/10 - The chili oil paired nicely with the soy marinade on the tuna. I liked that they put fat slices of tuna. The tostada was perfectly crunchy. * Oxomoco Guacamole - 7.5/10 - The chips on the side are the same tostada that comes with the tuna. The guacamole itself is delicious but it's hard to justify almost $20 for guacamole, no matter how good it is. * Recuerdame - 8/10 - A fun drink to order with tacos. I liked the aesthetics and that it was a blended ice drink. The alcohol flavor wasn't too strong and it was sweet. Overall, all the food I had was really delicious and for a Michelin-starred restaurant the vibe was pretty casual and chill. However, it is quite pricey for the amount of food you get, so I would save it for a celebration or special occasion.“

“What happens when really great Mexican and Venezuelan seafood come together? El Rey de Pescado, culinary bliss! Such a great penultimate 2022 dinner tonight. So good that we devoured everything before any pics were taken, except for the warm, chocolate filled empanadas and strawberry ice cream dessert. Cocktails were perfection. And live Jazz! Go in 2023! We'll be. Feliz Año Nuevo everyone, be safe.?“
