De Mole

by nikkivanoeveren

Really lovely homemade and authentic Mexican food. We are vegetarians and they make all their staples (rice and beans) without animals products. But that does not compromise the authenticity--their tamales are the best in the city. A real borough gem and a must visit if you get a chance. Also, their delivery service is prompt and just as delicious as their in-house fare.

• Pros: truly the best tamales in the city
• Cons: sometimes the service is a tad slow

Fresh, Delicious Food!

by EvaK

I live one block from this wonderful restaurant. The food is cooked to order - and consistently delicious. Go here for fresh eggs, wonderful salads with fresh grilled shrimp, spinach/cheese quesadillas, chicken mole and especially their incredible freshly made juice. A large mixed apple carrot orange juice is $3.

• Pros: Freshly prepared food, with freshest ingredients
• Cons: small restaurant - can be busy

Come on, people.

I can understand why people would be charmed by this place. the staff is friendly and very helpful, the atmosphere is perfect for the food and the price. However, this is just another example of bland mexican food New York City style. The guac and salsa were almost tasteless, we actually tried to up the guac with salt and the salsa was made with canned tomatoes, gross. One of my tacos was cold. Not room temperature. Cold. The ingredients went from the fridge directly onto my plate. The cornmeal in the tamale was hard and chewy from being nuked too long. Nothing was quality and it obviously wasn't so fresh. All of this after waiting an hour and 15 after being told it would be 40 minutes with a phone call. No call, then 75 minutes later we literally had to fight other patrons for our table. Spice, please! Fresh clilantro, please! Quality ingredients, please! we'll pay the extra dollar!

• Pros: staff, atmosphere
• Cons: food

Authentic MX Restaurant in Queens

by NYMex

This is the first authentic Mexican restaurant in Queens that I have found, (and I'm Mexican!). My husband and I come here once a week. The Chicken Enchiladas with salsa verde are great as is the Tinga de Puebla. They also make fresh juice to order (w/ a juicer). Prices are about $10 / plate. You can't go wrong.

• Pros: authentic food - worth the wait
• Cons: slow staff (even when the restaurant is empty)
