Bradford Campeau-Laurion: Chorizo tacos are just incredible.
Julio Ibarra: Do your tastebuds a favor and get the "chicken enchilada de la casa". The sauce is smooth and creamy the chicken so tender, the cilantro isn't over powering, just a good hint of it.
Jason Moore: Best Mexican food in Astoria!! Try the Chimichanga! Amazing!!
Emily Westaby: 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).
Gothamist: 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.

Michelle S: Tasty, cheap tacos & tostadas without the hype. Walk to the back counter and ask for a menu from the super nice staff. Anything w/chorizo is my fave. Order a fresh agua fresca or horchata too!

Serious Eats: The Pambazo: There's nothing subtle about a potato and chorizo sandwich on a bun painted with chili sauce. But damn does it satisfy.
