El Mariachi Restaurant
“I find that ordering vegetarian tortas is always a gamble, but this one was a bit much.”
“The tortas are good too, I like the Hawaiiana and the Cubana.”
“And now that I've got that bit of negativity off my shoulders, I would highly recommend the pierna adobada.”

This was one of the stops on the taco tour this weekend, which was one of the best I might add. One of our party members requested goat tacos and this place had them.
This was the only place where I didn't have la lengua tacos, instead I went for my old stand by Al pastor. I don't know if it came off a spit but it was really good and had the grilled pina on it.
This place is a must especially on a Sunday since Los portales is closed

I was confused by El Mariachi. I will admit that I saw a mexican restaurant open late on a Saturday night and assumed that the food would be that low-quality but delicious "mexican" with a small 'm' food I was familiar with in the Bronx. Instead we walked in and looked at a menu for a halfway decent sit-down restaurant with a relatively pricey menu.
We got a chorizo burrito (delicious if SUPER messy), a chicken quesadilla that was good, but seemed more like a taco than a quesadilla, though the cheese in/on it was very good, and empanadas, which were not fried, and not very flavorful.
Would have been four stars if the total wasn't over $30 for food that averaged to be *pretty* good.
I was famished by the time I got to Jackson Heights to meet my friend. My dear friend took me here.
Absolutely delicious enchiladas suizas and you get four! FOUR! You also get the obligatory chips and salsa although the salsa was kinda watery and not spicy at all but whatever. Those enchiladas suizas were fantastic and plentiful.
Two thumbs up!
Stumbled upon this gem by accident, it was so worth the discovery. Variety of authentic and yummy tacos served with guacamole, cilantro and radish. Order with a cerveza, some refried beans and rice. Meanwhile, chips and salsa are delivered to your table free of charge. As authentic for Mexican that you will find in Astoria. Try the al pastor and carne asada tacos… you won't be diappointed.
There's really nothing particularly mind blowing about this restaurant, yet somehow my body always wants it. Not just anything on the menu, but the burrito and the "mixto" option to be exact! I've sat down to eat before, but I'm more or less a takeout kinda gal. One of the perks of dining in is their salsa and chips right when you are seated. They are generous with their refills and have a good variety of sauces to dip. Nothing is particularly super spicy if you're a spicy fanatic like myself (sriracha is a lot more spicy in comparison), but their range of sauces all has their own unique taste from tangy to smokey. I usually order takeout and stick to my mixto burrito which I couldn't find on their online menu. As you can tell from the name "mixto", it's a mix of three different meats. I really have a hard time deciding what type of meat I want, so this is a great option for those that are indecisive and want the best of all worlds. The burritos are HUGE and comes with a side of guacamole! It usually takes me about two meals to finish the entire burrito and I never eat the shell. One downside is how salty the meats are. I usually do not notice it because it's mixed in with the rice, but on it's own you can really taste it. I am a huge fan of this establishments $13 burrito for lord knows what reasons; it just kicks it out of the ball park for me. I should mention, this is the only burrito I would ever eat and would ever order because I am not a fan of burritos.
Good mexican dishes, friendly staff. I mainly come here to pick up tacos and tamales for dinner. The tacos are stuffed with meat and includes guacamole. yum!
The torta is EVERYTHING. Location is close to the subway, staff is legit Mexican and very friendly, though a bit laid back. A torta is a Mexican sandwich with all the fixins, lettuce tomato and onion as welI had the carne asada (steak) torta and the bread was fresh and fluffy and the ingredients were all very fresh. It was a big sandwich but I was hungry, I would say if you have a huge appetite you might want to add a side of something. The prices are also extremely reasonable. If this were in my neighborhood I'd be there once a week…
