Easily my favorite restaurant. I travel 40 mins to get there and then have to circle for another 20 looking for parking, and it's still worth it.
María Paz DomínguezJune 28, 2015Yummy place for a lazy Sunday brunch. Huevos rancheros are pretty tasty, along with the frozen margarita.
Steak fajitas are amazing, margaritas are great (if you're going to be there a while, get the pitcher. Trust me). It gets packed so don't expect to stay long.
Andrea CarnesAugust 9, 2018Veggie fajitas can be made vegan... Just ask for it without cheese! Very flavorful diverse veggie plate. SO delicious. And obviously any margarita... Frozen or on the rocks.
Sasha ChinnayaJanuary 12, 2019This place is unpredictable. Sometimes it can be really good and hits the comfort food spot. The margaritas are wonderful. Sometimes the service is bad and it’s crowded and you might not get a table
inna katsApril 6, 2016Fish tacos are likely the best I've ever had - very flavorful. Frozen passion fruit margaritas are giant, tasty and perfectly combine sweet and sour. Rice and beans are sadly mediocre at best
Rory ParnessJanuary 25, 2015When you are asked to choose a side dish, opt for the grilled veggies over the beans. Nice mix of well charred vegetables. Healthy and delicious
Erik CintronMay 8, 2016Good fun time!! Always packed. Little steep in prices. The crowd is alway good. Great location but shitty parking. Menu is good, but nothing over the top. Cinco de mayo go is a blast there
ronlJanuary 14, 2011Chipotle Chicken, chipotle chicken, chipotle chicken! If you haven't had it, you don't know Burros. The best chicken I have ever had any which way! oh yeah and a double Rita on the rocks with salt.
Plates big enough to share, I have yet to take a girl here who didn't like the margaritas from this place. It's been a staple of the neighborhood and there's a reason.
Paige CSeptember 20, 2014Everything is just so gooooood. Sometimes difficult to get a table but worth the wait!- Sasha ChinnayaJune 30, 2017Chipotle chicken quesadilla and steak fajitas are my fave. The margaritas are a treat 👌🏽
Alexis WeismanJanuary 4, 2018Margaritas of course! The lobster tacos are amazing! Pretty much can’t go wrong here!
Rique LoOctober 24, 2018No atmosphere (music), chips are served on this plastic dish with no paper underneath. I doubt they wash those regularly $10 for a frozen margarita! Wow.Food was great but comes with no tortillas WTF- Mandy KhalooNovember 5, 2013Great food and drinks! Had the grilled shrimp salad and a blueberry margarita. Sooo good!!
Julie VApril 19, 2015Chipotle chicken, enchilada molé, steak salad, mussels, frozen margaritas, tacos al pastor!- Sandra Stokes-McCoySeptember 2, 2018The peach margaritas are really good! The steak and chicken fajitas are great!
The $28 pitcher of margarita is a steal! There is at least 8 glasses. Your welcome
Danilo LeeDecember 23, 2012This joint has a variety of world class blend of coffee served by experienced baristas..it's worth the trip.
Estee JinjihashviliApril 19, 2010It's a must visit in Forest Hills. This place has been here for many many many years and has its loyal clientele. Have to try their frozen melon margaritas and just about anything on their menu.
The vegetable fajita is so much more than peppers and onions-a filling and healthy entree.
Maria GranadosOctober 27, 2014Best Mexican food in the area. Hands down. The steak and shrimp tacos are unreal! Slamming margaritas :)
Jen L.October 7, 2014The food & drinks are AWESOME but the bartender/seating hostess is a rude FUCKASS bitch! 😡
Dominick GonzalezApril 24, 2014It was great. I love margaritas. They have these pitchers that really get you going- Rich GApril 20, 2015Chicken chipotle for me and a hell of a margarita. Awesome food and really cool atmosphere!!!!
The drinks are strong the food portions are big and the price is good!!
Andres SotoDecember 6, 2014It's your best option for Mexican food in Forest Hills. Expect a 45 minute wait and expect a large crowd. Don't come if you cant handle that
Terry RJuly 6, 2010Make any encha, fajita, burrito vegan w/grilled veggies (and ask no dairy 'o course). Black bean & lentil soup sans chorizo is yum
Frozen Margaritas Strawberry, Guacamole, Mexican salad mix beef & chicken!
Who says Mexican can't be healthy?! food is delicious but the Mexican salad with steak is perfect. And don't forget to order a pitcher of frozen margaritas! Read more
D VDecember 12, 2010Been coming here for 11 years and the steak nachos are still delicious. Order a shark attack and keep the toy!
- Paige CNovember 10, 2014I actually had to "beg" to get chips on the side of my to-go order. Even though I like their food, I can't justify paying $16.00 for two small, empty burritos. Not coming back.
Shira DubeyMay 25, 2011lobster quesadillas are delicious and swanky for a mexican joint! this place is the BEST!
BE RiversJanuary 24, 2015Always packed. Long wait times. But the food and drinks are great. Very tight and loud.
Try a grilled chicken quesedilla and a frozen margarita rimmed with salt or no salt depending on how you like it!
- Have the mexican salad with both chicken and steak! Wash it down with... What else? Strawberry Margaritas!!!
Tommy D.May 4, 2019They refused to sit 3 people at a table if all 3 didn’t eat. It was gonna be 1 to eat and 2 to drink. They were nasty, fuck this place.

"Among the best dessert places around. Napoleon berry was so good as was the hazelnut ice cream. It reminded me of Europe and how much Martha's desserts are top notch. Definitely worth the calories."
