About this spot
This unassuming taco counter in Jackson Heights serves some of Queens' most authentic Mexican street food, drawing lines of homesick immigrants and savvy food hunters. The al pastor here is carved from a proper trompo, while their carnitas have the perfect balance of crispy edges and tender meat. The tortillas are made fresh throughout the day, and the salsas pack serious heat.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the al pastor tacos and ask for extra pineapple if you want the full trompo experience
- Try multiple salsas but start with small amounts - they don't hold back on spice
