Hands down one of the best chicken quesadillas in all Queens! Also, the guac and chips are godly!

Great food with good portions, have never been dissapointed here.

GREAT GREAT FOOD the food is always fresh. also get a large amount..

Good service, and the food is fresh pretty much all the time.

My favorite local Mexican spot, plenty of fixins, everything fresh, super friendly.

Clean restaurant. Food is always delicious. Service with a smile.

Chicken Burrito, chips and salsa verde for $10. Awesome little spot.

Love the burritos! Excellent service !

Love it ! Food is the best ! REAL Mexican food

great food and place to sit and relax and watch t.v

Best ever tacos ever. Guacamole arrived so fresh and green. Burrito great size fully stuffed with meats. Ingredients and the sauce you can tell is homemade so delicious. Highly recommend!

Carefully crafted fresh and flavorful Mexican food! The veggie quesadilla is perfect and full of fresh veggies. The green sauce is really tasty with a perfect hint of spice. The portions are generous and the service is great. The old Subway restaurant setting adds charm.

The very best! A gem in the heart of Queens, NY. So glad I stopped at a red light and loked over to the left. There was a parking spot to the right of me, giving me the opportunity to execute a decent parallel on the second try lol. Delicious juice and excellent customer service! Please give them all the flowers. Really good and kind hearted people. I promise to visit whenever I can! Blessings.

OMG!!! Best Authentic Mexican Food... Their Grilled Steak, Grilled Chicken, and Milanesa Tortas are the best Ever!!!....Great Portions😝 All selections are Delicious and made to order with Fresh Ingredients... The guys there are so nice and friendly... and will take special requests on orders without hesitation... Really Love their Mexican Food!!!

Great taste . Agua de Jamaica ( hibiscus water )is fresh and staff is friendly . They added some chips and salsa with no extra cost. 10 out of 10 I hundred percent recommend.

This is a little corner bodega with food with big taste. Simple, clean place, great food (which you see them make) and good prices, what more can you ask for?

I absolutely love the authentic flavor of this Mexican Restaurant. Think the opposite of Chipotle. 5 stars!!!

Close to the best mexican food I've found in NYC, and I've looked. Made by friendly, caring staff who can always recommend something new try. And they will make you anything, tacos, tortas, fajitas, platters, an eggs omelet w home fries, salads, fresh juices, and that's just what I've tried. I love this place

This is a hidden gem! Incredibly welcoming environment by the staff and high quality authentic Mexican food. They make every plate with quality and taste in mind. Highly recommend giving this hidden gem a try!

At first, I was hesitant to try this food cause I didn't see a nice decor, but then my husband told me that their food was amazing. I was skeptical and then fell in love. Food was really delicious. We tried different types of tacos and nachos .. amazing. Juices were also nice. Service was very nice and made us feel very welcome and at home

Place is a little bit of a hole in the wall because it's around a gas station, strip club, walgreens, fire station and a busy street where there's never any parking. If you're not a resident in the are you'd probably miss it and confuse it for a deli. Their burritos are really tasty and best part of it is that they wrap/stuff it very neatly. You have all your ingredients available at every bite; not the meat on one said and a bite full of flour and rice on the other. The burrito is also very neat to where I am able to put it down, politely ask for more sauce and come back to all my toppings still in the tortilla without a mess. There's no bathroom but they allowed me use of their employee bathroom to wash my hands before eating (don't expect this all the time though). The staff is very friendly and helpful ready to answer all your questions. It's about 12.50 for the burrito with a drink. It comes with a small portion of chips & salsa. It is worthy of the price for it's quality. I eat a lot and I'm stuffed so I can imagine others that don't eat so much can share one and be fine.

Simple delicious homemade food, and really kind people. Love the guacamole (chips are always fresh), tortas cemitas and burritos. So glad to have them in the neighborhood.

Delicious Mexican food cooked to perfection! It's a must go if you're in the neighborhood. Even if you're not a fan of Mexican cuisine, El Alto will change your mind in split of a second. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Great place for Mexican food. The service is great and they aren't afraid to give good portions as well. Th subways vibe is still there cause it used to be a subways, but overall, it's the food that matters!

Came in here looking for breakfast, ordered a bacon egg and cheese, and got pancakes on the side. Both tasted very good/rich in flavor. I’d definitely come back again, if their breakfast tasted right I can’t imagine how good their tortas/tacos would taste 👍🏼

I arrived at the place at 8:43 pm and the place was very warm unlike the snowy outside. The service was quick and easy to order , and the time they prepared the food was quickly . When I went to pay they asked which sauces we wanted for the chicken stripe and even gave us little tries of sauces to take. The experience was nice and kind (will definitely come back)

So glad that this place is near my apartment because I have to say I loved it here. The set up is kinda like subway when adding toppings to your tacos but everything is fresh and tastes delicious.

Mexican food with a no. Frills environment. I enjoyed the chicken and steak tacos although the meat was a bit dry. Could also use more sauce. Overall though pretty good food.

It was good to find this place open that late @ night and to take a chance to try their food, I order 3 sets of tacos supposedly at $8.95 for 3 tacos but I end up paying $3.50separately for each taco it was good food, but to pricy their natural fresh squeeze juice is amazing.

Food is great but they need to fix up inside the place a little

Tortas de rez are the best here. Chicken is dry but everything else is great.

fresh ingredients well put together a little expensive.

My Spanish is bad but I tried these guys are extremely friendly and you can go here to buy my jalapenos 😜. They help me with my orders. When I need delivery they're right here and they're friendly I recommend this place and the salsa verda. Very good.

Nothing special, it's another Mexican restaurant. Spicy pork is probably the best tasting. Beef and steak is too tough.

I stopped by to pickup lunch. Ordered the shrimp quesadilla, rice & salad. I was the only customer in there. The service was good. I got back to work and started eating. It was very soggy. The cheese tasted processed, like the kind used in deli sandwiches. I was not impressed. I would hesitate to give it another try. On to the next...

Food is decent, good for a quick bite to eat. But be prepared to have your order made wrong. Every. Time. Check the bags before you leave.

Sadly didn't like the chicken tacos the chicken was not grilled it was more like boild or soup chicken. For good tacos go to Mi Casita.

i've been ordering take out for yrs from these guys until recently when i ordered a chicken torta and the chicken tasted spoiled! i didnt call to complain at the time but i waited to tell them about it the next time i ordered a chicken torta....i told the guy to just make sure the chicken is fresh and to my surprise i get push back!! Instead of an apologizing i get all these lame excuses that i kept calling to see when my food would arrive--this was 1 month later, how can he remember it was me!? And if they tell me its going to take 30 mins and its now 45 mins then you'd better believe im going to call to find out where's my food!! And then this guy asked me if i wanted my CHICKEN med-well??!!! SERIOUSLY DUDE??!! They all speak spanish and I do too so I know he understood me!! BAD FOOD and WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!
