My local taco truck.
Always loves me.
Always there for me.
Walk out of the Woodside station at any ridiculous hour of night – if you're smelling something tasty, it's coming from this truck. The tacos are as great as taco truck tacos can be: $2.50 (cheaper than Rey de Oro), hefty enough with the filling that you can split it between the two corn tortillas. Choose from 10 or so different proteins: yelp.com/biz_photos/taco…. They don't skimp, and the meat is never dry. If you want it picante, they'll fold in some jalapeno, but pile on the pico, jalapeno, and onion yourself.
What I actually come here for are the tortas. $6, way more portable – and it's like eating three tacos at the same time, because that's how I roll. I've gotten these with various proteins also. The best one is al pastor. Oreja (pig ear) was never meant to be encased in bread.
Ignore the name: the quesadillas are made with corn tortillas instead of flour and are mediocre.
Ignore the ambiance: you'll feel like a troll wolfing down not-so-clever goats under a rotting bridge. Just know that the goats are tasty.
I am always excited to visit this taco truck and tonight I craved something different. I decided to order the milanesa de res. I will honestly say that i envisioned a delicious experience. However, my experiemce was extremely disappointing. As usual I called 10 minutes ahead to place my order. Upon my arrival, my meal was ready and packed. When i took that first bite, i knew something was seriously wrong. My taste buds were not thrilled, i tasted mostly the black bean spread, the meat was thinly sliced but it was very tough and way over cooked. To the point that the beef itself had no taste. I asked for jalapenos in my torta and they forgot to put them in. My torta tasted mostly like black bean paste and nothing else. The whole sandhich felt greasy. Having tried the milanesa de pollo, torta cubana and now milanesa de res. I was very sure that the milanesa de res would be a hit. I now know that i will not be ordering it in the future. The truck has killer tacos but thumbs down for the milanesa de res. I asked my self "Where is the Beef"?
I will stick to checking out the rest of the menu. I sat in my car eating this sorry torta without much of an appetite. I have you know i love the tacos here and i will continue to eat their awesome tacos!
Tacos y Quesadillas Mexicanos located right under the Roosevelt Ave 61 St. 7 stop is serving some delicious street tacos. Street tacos the backbone of the food truck industry and this truck is a solid spot.
You know something good is happening here when there is a line. A very diverse line of hungry people; locals, foodies, commuters, etc. This is a great sign for me when I patrol a truck.
Now, the food. I have had carnitas, pastor and my favorite carne enchiladas tacos. They are all solid choices, but the carne enchilada taco is a step above.
All the tacos here are prepared to order and are packed with good stuff. Flavor is key and their tacos have that sazon. Delicious. Meat is tender, moist with 2 corn tortillas top with cilantro, onions, guac sauce and spicy sauce; lime and radish on side. Very tasty with flavor. An explosion of taste buds with that "this is so good feeling".
Tacos y Quesadillas Mexicanos, ranks right up there with my favorite taco trucks. The two guys on Friday nights are pumping out some delicious food. The tacos are a definite must.
Solid taco truck tacos. $3 a pop.
I tried the chicken and the steak. Delicious, juicy and double tortilla wrapped. This beats a slice of pizza any day.
My last meal in four days of running up and down the #7 train line in Queens hunting great food is right here at a simple cart. That moment when you don't even bother thinking about checking the rating on place before making a decision to eat. I mean, after all, isn't that pretty annoying? Yea, sure, I do it plenty, but I took a chance here and absolutely scored. Little risk, really. There are *so* many good eateries within a few blocks of here that if you aren't good you're gonna get your butt handed to you on a platter.
Three tacos to go, eaten standing up (Tip: spread your legs wide). Pollo with a splash of avocado, carnitas and beef. Double wrapped corn tortillas, sprinkle of onions, cilantro and a couple of limes to squeeze onto each.
Simply a mouth watering experience. Fresh, clean, bursting with the complicated goodness that a taco provides by mingling the protein of the meat with the burst of onion scent, the aromatics of the cilantro, the citrus burn from the lime, a touch of sauce. A match made in heaven.
Finishing the last bite I wiped my fingers on the single napkin provided, dumped the sack into the trash and slung my bag over my shoulder and headed to the bus that would take me to La Guardia. As an ever so slight rain hit the bus on the way to my flight I was already missing the phenomenal food experience that is Queens.
My work here is done. I'll be back.
I come here at least twice a week. The tacos here are amazing and so cheap. Also the Cuban sandwich is so good and just full of every damn meat you can find as well as a fried egg which not many places do. Value, flavor, service. Sometime the wait is long because everyone comes here but it's so worth the wait.
Great location, better prices and more meat options than El Rey. Taste is pretty on par with El Rey, I think. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area!
I've heard good things about the tortas here, but I waddled away from Tacos y Quesadillas Mexicanos pretty unimpressed.
I ordered a torta al pastor specifically because the textural idea was enticing. However, the end product was more or less one-note. The pork was tasty, don't get me wrong, but I wasn't exactly blown away. Everything was soft, from the bread to the meat to everything else inside. I would have loved for something, something at all, to provide more texture than occasional pepper here. Alas, it didn't happen.
Look, the tacos look very solid judging from the photos, and it's extremely convenient for me, but I won't be getting another $7 torta here. Okay, I might try the cubana, but that's it.
