El Don Taqueria

Super cheap, delicious, authentic Mexican taqueria and a welcome addition to the neighborhood. Staff was very friendly. The menu is your traditional assortment of tacos, tortas, enchiladas, etc. Ingredients were super fresh and cooked up right in front of me with some great sauces too. Also offers groceries, Mexican imports, and standard breakfast with delivery options too!

Really good prices with really good tortas, tacos, quesadillas and enchiladas. Al pastor on anything is AMAZING! They also take credit and is nearby NY favorite bar "Solid State." Worth the trip and just outside 52nd street stop off the 7 train Edit: 1/30/21 - My wife and I have been coming here for 3 years and the place has gotten better with each year. Even during covid they continued to provide food with growing menu of really amazing Mexican food. Out of all the places we're going to miss moving away from Woodside is going to be the Tortas, Cemitas and Enchiladas from El Don. The chorizo and al pastor pastor are our go to proteins, but the entire menu is really good and would recommend this place to anyone.

I love love love their quesadillas! Especially de chorizo y al pastor! I recommend them on their tacos as well and most importantly their HORCHATA!!! I’m crazy for their homemade horchata!!! Definitely one of the best Mexican spots in woodside 🤙🏽

Best taqueria in woodside!!! So grateful to have this local small family owned business in our neighborhood. Always great customer service, staff is all so kind and friendly, and to match the quality of service the food! Delicious every time. Never let us down. Highly recommend. Thank you el don taqueria!!!

It does not seem like much from the outside - looks like a ordinary bodega - but the food is very good. I often eat lunch here. They have a standard menu and usually a few specials - pozole soup or pig ear tacos, etc. The owner and staff are always very friendly and provide good service.

I moved from the Bronx to Queens and was looking for a Mexican restaurant on Google, so this place was one of the options I had and I decided to give it a try, I have not been disappointed their tacos are Amazing!!!!! The Quesadilla de Tinga is my favorite! Especially with their spicy red/orange sauce! I definitely recommend this place!

Best burrito!! To say it felt like I was eating in a friends house in Mexico would be an understatement. Staff are super nice! A must!!

The food is amazing each time I visit. The quesadillas made from their homemade corn tortillas are amazing and definitely worth it! The chalupas with steak are also so good.

My favorite Mexican place to grab some quick tacos or burritos. Everything is excellent and they have great prices. Tacos are small but authentic and cheap!

Honestly surprisingly good; went to eat there two days in a row and tried something from nearly every category, the food was delicious and authentic. I strongly recommend the enchiladas

The staff was very friendly, and the order was precise and timely. The tacos were amazing, especially the shrimp. I will definitely be coming back for more orders.

OMG this place is amazing. I went to this street in search of the taco truck that used to park here. It was gone and I came across this taqueria by pure luck. It is incredibly delicious and fairly priced. Coming back asap ❤

Adorable small $2 tacos. Taste amazing. Great prices. Great fast service. Yummy homemade sauce.

Staple. Just living off their 🌯 every laundry day

Came here at 8 pm on a Sunday, normally I get nervous going somewhere late because it’s about to close but the staff was amazing, waitress great and attentive, food and drinks came out fast and was soooo good. Excited for my leftovers!! If I lived near here I’d come all the time. Definitely recommend.

Amazing tacos and burgers!!!!!! One of my favorite Taco places.

Found this place on google maps because I had a hankering for tacos and boy did this place satisfy. Situated like a bodega with grocery items stacked against the walls, a small seating area in the middle, and a place to the right for cooking the food, this place has it all. Not to mention, this establishment is very clean and has a restroom!! Parking will be a little challenging but double park where you can and grab your tacos to go! I ordered a sudero taco, chorizo taco, and a chicken burrito. The two tacos were amazing and hot. The chorizo was salty, crispy, and full of flavor. The suadero (flank steak) was cooked perfectly, a little fatty, and had a tender bite. It came with some lime, onion, and radish pieces. Two sauces came with the tacos: one orange hot sauce which was mild for me and not extremely flavorful but that I enjoyed and another green not spicy sauce that was mild in flavor and brought a freshness to the tacos. The burrito was alright in flavor but I liked that it came with rice and avocado. I didn’t like the chicken in the burrito as much as the sudadero or chorizo but it was good. The tacos here are on the smaller size but the prices are the lowest I’ve seen anywhere and the flavors are the bomb so I’d definitely come back here to eat more tacos. Less than $3 for a delicious hot taco?! Say no more! Also, the people who work here are so kind and pleasant so a big shout out to the workers!

HIDDEN GEM. I love this place. I have been here 4 times this week. They make classic Mexican home cooked grab and go food. It usually takes 5-15 minutes to get your order if you walk in. I’ve had their tacos, burritos, the Mole enchiladas(not on the menu), their nachos. Everything is excellent fresh and is a authentic approach to Mexican cooking. They make this salsa Del árbol that is just spicy enough, savory, smokey, and simply delicious in everything’s. They also make a green salsa that’s fresh and bright perfect for people that don’t want spice but a bit of flavor. They have daily specials that move around quite a bit, sometimes they even have classic comfort food, and have vegetarian options. Eat her for the FOOD, not the atmosphere, this is a quaint family business that run out of a grocery store. Coming from Los Angeles the standard for Mexican food is very high and El Don exceeds expectations, I have found my go to spot for beautiful Mexican dishes in Sunnyside.

This place is amazing. If you're a fan of authentic Mexican food, such as Tacos, Tortas, Cemitas, Tostadas, Quesadillas, etc...you're in for a treat. After eating 3 tacos ($1.75 each), I couldn't wait to order more. Yes, these tacos are extremely addicting, you've been warned, but I'm not complaining, the food here is simply delicious. Over the weekends, they serve a variety of traditional Mexican food, such as Tamales, Consomé, Pozoles, Champurrado, etc. This place is also a deli / grocery store, which sells Mexican products. Employees are very friendly and attentive. If you're around the area, don't doubt to visit this place. You won't be disappointed. Great food!

Authentic food. I was so happy they had tinga tacos. The orange sauce is delicious and spicy! Inside a convienence store and has tables and TV playing La Rosa de Guadalupe. I'm definitely going back because the service was on point too and the prices are actually affordable and representative of authentic Mexican food.

I love this place! I accidentally discovered this a few months ago when I went to pick up something in the area. I have only tasted their quesadillas, but they are superb. Fresh, savory and generous with the meat. Thank you!

Best tacos I ever had in my life! The meat was so tender and tasty and the it's just an amazing place with amazing food you defiantly have to try this place out!

I love their Enchiladas in salsa verde, very yummy and their enchiladas with salsa roja is good especially if you like spicy food.

Hands down the best tacos I've had in town! Little gem hidden in the middle of the concrete jungle.

Great people great atmosphere. Staff is friendly and polite. I love their vegetarian burritos and vegetarian tacos they also accommodate vegan. So there are many options. Try there sauces spicy and delicious addition to your meal.

Walked in, the man behind the counter was kind and attentive and the staff was great. But the food was even better. 10/10

The food is amazing and hits the spot. The service is great, so I highly recommend coming here.

This place never let's me down. Very affordable, authentic and the staff is kind and welcoming. My favorite order is the green steak enchilada, and I also go for some mexican staples in their grocery section. I do usually order to take out, but delivery has proven to be fast and efficient if you are in the available area

One of the few places I can find tacos arabe on the east coast - and their's is freakin great.

This was my second time here in one week. The Al pastor tacos and bistec tacos for $1.99 are a no brainer. They're the authentic Mexican double flower tortilla tacos, and come with the cut up radishes and lime on the side. Where else can you get delicious tacos for 2 bucks in NYC? I also ordered the lengua tacos, a bit more at $3.50 a pop but definitely worth a try. First time here I had the flour tortilla bistec quesadilla and that was delicious, and good in size for $7, this time around I tried the corn tortilla chicken quesadilla and the corn tortilla was a little too thick and mealy for me, definitely gonna stick with the regular flower tortilla one moving forward. The people behind the counter are always very nice, and get the order in quickly, the wait time is about 10 minutes because they prepare everything fresh. Make sure to ask for extra green sauce if you like that as I do, I ordered 10 tacos and they only gave me one sauce, but I'm not complaining, just giving the heads up. I took my food to go both times, but they do have a few tables in there if you want to eat in. The setup is very bodega like with the tables in the center, and surrounded by refrigerators and Mexican goods you can purchase. Looking forward to trying more food items from this place and will definitely be back. They accept Apple Pay and cards for purchases over $5.

I am begging anyone who is reading this; please, do yourself a favor, and get anything from this beautiful establishment. Everyone is incredibly welcoming and the food is outstanding!!!! Me encanta mucho!

This is one of my favorite local spots! The food is delicious and never misses. I always get an al pastor and a chorizo taco. It’s affordable, quick, and easy! Their other dishes are also super yummy. A few tables if you want to dine in, but also still tastes great as takeout.

Tacos were perfect! Staff was very polite! Recommended if you're in Queens riding the 7 train and need a satisfying bite! I'll be coming here often due to their quality in their foods!

Cristina Reyes

Delicious Tacos and delicious sauces. If you like spicy then try the orange/red sauce! Very Yummy. They are more of a TO-GO place but have some tables too. You can't beat their prices! Amazing flavorful tacos! They are like truck tacos but in a warm cozy place.

Enjoyable food, good people and decent price.

Their tacos and tortas are so good, the burritos could use a little more filling tho. Otherwise, great service and fast delivery

(4.3/5 rating) so I tried their cheese only quesadilla, Al pastor taco & carnitas tostada. Their cheese quesadilla was my fav. Super cheesy with the green picante (spicy sauce) on point. The Al pastor taco was was on point - I could’ve ate like 3 more of them! The carnitas tostada was okay. Wouldn’t really get carnitas again. I think the al pastor meat was way better! They also have the option to order directly from their website for pick up which I love ! No fees and it was ready on time. Prices are affordable! Worth a try !

I’ve been 5 times or so and it’s inconsistent. Once the salsa verde was outrageously good with nice blackened flecks throughout. Once my burrito had over-griddled very hard diced meat inside. There are better spots around like the taco truck 3 blocks west.

I ordered a delivery and was told,"It's raining, our guy can't" I laughed and said, "Why? Is he gonna melt?" They said he can't drive in the rain. Um, if your delivery guy can't drive in the rain, I think it's time to re-hire. So...do y'all not deliver at all in winter??????

I wanted to love them based on their reviews. We got mushroom quesadilla, tacos (steak, chicken, and tinga), and chips & guac. Everything was extremely bland.

Tiny tacos, soggy nachos. Tortillas were stale. Will never order from this place again.
