Amazing place with great vibes all around. I highly recommend the Volcanes ! Had a Michelada with my favorite Mexican beer . Can't wait to go back here! ???? ????

Jaimee Estreller

I'm from LA and the food here is reminiscent of that. The fried cheese and shrimp taco is a MUST. Perfect = chips & guac , two tacos , a tamarind jarritos, and that fried dessert with nutella . Yum

Alex Garcia

Tacos ? Try the Volcanes . And the Cebollas preperadas. Your perspective of Mexican food will be changed. Family owned from Mexico City . Amazing. Great for couples. Order everything!

Naomi Tolson

Perfect stop after visiting the Museum of the Moving Image nearby. Tacos are a must especially the shrimp or mushroom . How can you go wrong with everyday happy hour ?

Alex Garcia

I'm so ashamed of myself. We have been eating "Mexican" food that is nowhere near the league of Chela y Garnacha. The Volcanes ... Mind. Blown. OMG! What have we been eating? This is amazingly good!

Melanie W.

I like everything about this place, but especially the grilled cheese option for the tacos . The mashed potato flautas were also excellent.

Vicki Raines

This place is new to the neighborhood , we've only had takeout , but the interior looks great. Highly recommend the pescado taco , and add the cheese option for sure.

Jon Minners

Just ate here on Saturday. I ordered four different tacos and all were great. The spicy margaritas were no joke. A little pricey but worth it.

Sergio Kuba

We just moved to this part of the neighborhood and discovered these tacos !! These are the best. Try the fish and the camaron tacos with cheese !!

Gergana Topalova

I just live the Mushroom taco with crispy cheese - I usually go for a meat options but this is a must have when you visit the joint

Greg Kastigar

Tacos are fantastic! Service is great, making this a nice place to stop for a yummy lunch . Happy hour every day from 4-6 includes $4 Mexican beers .

Jon S.

Umm its a taco place but the tacos are amazing, so that's good. The fried cheese is a good addition to the tacos i know that's a shocking concept

Kevin Grant

Awesome Mexican food in Astoria. They serve 3 variants on Micheladas - but just get the clamato one, that’s what you want

Suraj Savalia

Same owners Mexico Bkvd truck , absolutely amazing Mexican food . Get the tortas and get em extra spicy ... If you can handle it.

Joanna Garcia

Super vegetarian friendly . Great food, great prices. ADD CHEESE TO THE TACO .

Billy Keenly

The tacos were assembled well and delicious. The crispy cheese should be added to anything you order, it's not optional in my book .

Tom

Great reasonably priced Mexican food with friendly staff . A great stop while in the neighborhood !

Michael Mallari

Same great tacos from the Mexico Blvd (food truck ) folks. (Miss having the food truck in Astoria.)

Elvis Rodricks

Thought their shrimp taco was unlike anything ive had. Had the spices and came with a crispy layer of cheese within.

Czarina Behrends

Tacos were solid. Enjoyed the shrimp taco that was wrapped in fried cheese ! Margs and guac good too.

Kevin Reevers

Wonderful authentic mexican food ; as mentioned by others, you will not be led astray with the Volcanes .

Emiliano Viscarra

The tacos and the guacamole are outstanding. Ask for the spicy sauces when the tacos are served.

Tomas Kukkonen

Tacos al pastor were just like the best ones in Mexico as were the chelas. Great place!

Masha Murakhovsky

Amazing tacos + authentic Mexican noms. A great addition to 36 ave!

Mikko Hautamäki

Nice small place, great authentic Mexican food - Little on the spicy side- but that’s what you’d expect;-)

Claudia Filth

Any taco with the baked cheese , plus the zucchini flower intrincadas for the win!

Michael Marranzini

The volcanes and tacos are top notch. The black bean soup on point.

Billy Keenly

Awesome experience this time all around. Delicious, and the service was perfect.

Andrew Furman

Get the volcanes apatizer. They're amazing!!!

Mike Wimsatt

You should absolutely try the cebollas preparadas. Yes, they're grilled onions . You'll thank me.

Chloe

You have to try the volcanes , or if you just get tacos , add crispy cheese .

Nicolle D'Onofrio

Tacos have two shells, if you want a lighter meal, split the filling in half and have two delicious mini-tacos

C-J.

Amazing new restaurant from the people behind the Mexico Blvd truck . Will be a runaway hit before you know it!!!

Erin Paasch

Volcanes are absolutely fantastic! Also highly recommend their margaritas and guacamole ! :)

Stellar tacos . I'm so upset I didn't find this place sooner.

The Tamarindo Margarita is amazing and the tacos are fantastic!

Erik Schomburg

Spicy margaritas are great, and the tacos were delicious.

Tacos are awesome and big! Ask for the XX sauce. Hotter than the XXX!

Gergana Topalova

I just love their Mushrooms taco - it's to die for

Adriana Carmona

Tacos are amazing! The adobo was my favorite!

David Dunhill

Add the grilled cheese to your tacos for an extra $1.50. It's worth it.

Ray

Get the al pastor torta and thank me later!!!
