I'm pretty sure this will be my last review of this joint! I have been back on several occasions since the last time I reviewed & things were back to normal for a while but these last 2 times, things have gone from bad to worse!!
About a month ago I called in for the grilled chicken and guacamole special. When I got home & started eating it, something was just not tasting quite right. The chicken didn't taste fresh & the rice tasted overly salted. I actually thought the place was sold because when I went in to pickup, none of the usual "family" members were around that I could see…
Just last week I decided to give it one more try so this time I ordered the original meal that I fancy most which is the grilled steak & guacamole. When I went to pickup this time, the normal crew seemed to be back in action. I took that as a good sign… When I got home this time I was extremely disappointed by how terrible the food was! First off, there was hardly any steak like they used to give in the past. Honestly though, that was ok because I ended up throwing away most of the meat due to how terrible it was. It was sliced thicker than it used to be & it seemed under cooked & rubbery. It was just nasty to say the least! The tortillas were hard as a rock. They also gave less guacamole than in the past. The rice was bland & tasteless. Even the red sauce/hot sauce tasted strange… And the kicker was the "free" soda tasted weird too so I checked the date & it had expired in December 2015! This was my "go to" tex-mex joint but not no more!!
My advice to all: enter at your own risk…
It's a no frills kind of spot. If you head over when it's busy you won't be able to eat there since there isn't much room to sit but I usually do take out anyway.
Yelp says they take credit cards….well last time I checked they don't. Not sure whats up with that but there's a Citibank right across the street where you can get some cash.
So far the only issue I've had with this place is that they never seem to hold the jalapenos when I ask them too. I don't like them and wish they would stop automatically adding them.
Prices are good for the amount of food. Service is speedy, friendliness of the staff is just average. The food itself tastes good, but I think the guacamole is really watered down and they add too many other things to it like tomatoes. Plain guac would be ok for me.
Yes, everyone has heard the noise. I guess if it bothers you so much you have the option of waiting for your food outside or checking out some of the nearby stores.
this is great mexican fast food!
the menu is awsum…..chili, chicken and steak tacos, flour tortillas filled with chicken, steak, beans, shrimp, chorizo, or fajita style, soup, mexican salads, all soughts of mexican rice, chicken wings, quesadillas, tostadas, burritos, nachos, taquitos and even american stuff like french fries with chicken. My fave is the tostada salad, they serve it in a crisy flour tortilla basket, filled with iceberg lettuce, fresh lemon, cumber, cilantro, tomato, jalapeno & cheddar cheese sour cream. you choose your meat or topping for this salad, chicken, steak, beans, guacamole, vegtable, or combos like chicken and steak or or mixed seafood. this salad is awsum!! I have tried there tacos, nachos, and there taco salad…i get grilled chicken with these….all really good!!
the place- straight fast food joint!….they deliver
Price- Awsum….its fast food! $2 tacos, taco salads $3-$6, tostada salads $4.50-$7.50, nachos $3-$6, quesadillas $3-$6, fajitas by the pound $13-$18, flour tortillas (soft tacos) $1-$3…..its fast food!!….lol
service- we usually order delivery to the office, sometimes takes up to a half hour. They've made one or two mistakes with our order, no big deal…..they usually get it rite!
cons- extra charge for sour cream and the meals that include it come with very little. (so its the standard mexican food joint complaint for me…since there is normally a charge for extra sour cream….just annoys me)
Just decent. It wasn't the best but you get what you get for the price. The guacamole didn't have enough avocado and just didn't taste that great in my steak fajita. The chicken steak was not bad but everything else inside the soft taco was bland. My husband liked the tortilla from the fajita though. The super fajitas appeared and looked like a big portion but underneath all the good stuff was just rice. Again, my husband praised the tortilla because it actually smelled and tasted fresh unlike other places he's been to. So I think we'd only come here as a last resort for food if we can't think of anything else to eat. Its not totally bad, just minor things here and there. It's ok to eat this once in a while. Shrugs.
Super Fajitas $11.29
Steak Fajita and guacamole $2.89
Chicken steak taco $2.89
Idk why their addresses says they're in Jamaica when clearly they're in Fresh Meadows. Every business next to this place is listed as being in Fresh Meadows. Anyway, they're food is mediocre at best. It's like one of those Chinese food place versions of Mexican food, if you know what I mean. The guac isn't authentic, just watery sauce. It's not far from Mexican food your average college student can make at home.
After perusing Barnes & Nobles, my friend and I were incredibly starving. I've always been a fan of shady Mexican establishments, but this place just gave me the creeps. The portions were great (I got the chicken enchilada, and my friend got the chicken quesadilla which resembled a chicken quesadilla pie instead), but that whirring noise made us fear for our lives.
We were positive they were massacring babies/cats/cat-babies in the back there and we were going to be in a real-life reenactment of those Saw movies.
I'll probably only come back here because I'm a sucker for pseudo-Mexican food run by Asians, their cheap menu, and large portions.
Came here only once and I had the steak combo with tex-mex chili. On the bright side, the dish had more steak then most other Tex-Mex places. On the downside, the chili was just horrible.
You get what you pay for. 3 tacos, a quesadilla, fries, a burrito and 3 drinks for 15 bucks. It's a place to stop if you're hungry and near by. I am sure the St. John's kids love this place and their $0.99 burritos. I would not make an effort to come here, but I'd stop if near by.
