Tacos are small which sucks but they pack SO MUCH FLAVOR. For the seafood lovers, try the pulpo and chorizo taco . Simply amazing. Margaritas are decent and they have a variety of flavors.
Menu lists 9 taco options, all on handmade tortillas . One with zucchini , corn , crispy hibiscus flowers, & pickled jalapeños , and a Oaxacan grasshopper taco for the more adventurous. Read more
Tacuba brings a tasty Mexican party to Astoria. The Piña pizza ($20 for two) comes adorned with a beautiful orchid-like flower. They also serve empanadas , tacos , quesadillas , and specialty drinks . Read more
The food here is delicious and the drinks were flowing. A lively and fun place to go after a visit to the museum of the moving image across the street.
Pretty authentic Mexican joint.Had tacos , cocktails and corn , all delicious.Brunching there on a Sunday is a perfect start to the day before hitting the cinema museum just across the street.
I was pleasantly surprised by this place. Food was delicious - the nacho and tortilla soup are to DIE for!! Decor is also very cool
Steak dish, chicken quesadilla , fried calamari , churros and flan DELICIOUS!!!!!! Very tasty and not your regular tex mex type of place. Chef Julian Medina thumbs up!!!!!
Happy hour at the bar 12-7pm: $6 frozen margaritas (lime , mango , tamarind or pomegranate ) $5 drafts , $8 appetizers - open-faced quesadillas , empanadas , tacos . Don't miss the brussel sprouts ($6 side).
Try the michelada with shrimp...it's delicious! Tableside guac is a must. And we tried the grasshopper tacos...not bad!
Fish tacos are to die for... Came here for happy hour and my drinks were strong and good. Combined it with nachos and fish tacos and I was more than happy.
Get the grasshopper tacos if you are adventurous. I did and loved them, also there are enough buggers to share with friends.
The Chapulin Tacos , featuring Oaxacan Grasshoppers , reward those brave enough to order them with a unique and satisfying crunch. Don't think about it, just do it.
For a taste of Mexico City try the pozole on the brunch menu . Or get daring and get the chapulín (Oaxacan grasshopper ).
These drinks are delish! The one one the left is "Piña Para la niña" and the one on the right is "Pepinada" sans the jalepeño .
The Guacamole is AMAZING!, The Chicken Quesadillas , Pollo Tacos & Carnitas Tacos are so yummy. The Aguachile En Molcajete is Delish!
The carnitas tacos have a small bit of chicharron on top, the crunch complimenting the smoothness of the avocado . Damn beautiful thing.
In Astoria, Tacuba pairs gourmet Mexican with fresh-ingredient cocktails (some of which are festively served in carved-out pineapple husks).
This is not authentic , but it is not texmex either. They mix Mexican recipes with NY taste and get awesome results. But if you want the real thing, hit the chapulines taco .
Everything. I love it all. This place has great food and even better margaritas .
The service and atmosphere here are great! If you order the tacos , the portion is small so make sure to order a side.
Try the huitlacoche quesadilla and brussel sprouts . The piña is the best cocktail on the menu hands down!
Everything is good
they make the $11 guac at your table. very impressive menu. expensive , but not overpriced. would still choose pachanga, but a nice change of pace. staff attentive. authentic vibe.
The drinks are awesome. The Pina Para la niña is a marvelously sweet drink which I recommend.
Margaritas are strong ; share pitchers ! The grasshopper tacos are like spicy rice crispies ????
The Poquito Picante is delicious - gin , infused jalepeno , cucumber , can't go wrong.
The guacamole is good. The tacos are small but delicious. The octopus is very good.
It was lively and casual and had tasty margaritas and excellent chilaquiles .
beautiful ambiance, great service, food not so amazing. Get the Peruvian ceviche .
Try the mussels appetizer ! The sauce is a spicy , bacon-y treat in itself.
Fantastic tacos and reasonably priced. A hidden gem inside Queens.
Open face quesadilla was great, I could prob eat infinity of them
Octopus chorizo tacos and the camarones tacuba are absolutely everything.
Their avocado fries are pretty amazing!

These tacos are completely legit. They're huge and cheap. The smell and flavor of these takes me back to Oaxaca every time I have them. The guacamole, and all the salsas, are the real deal. - Chefs Feed
