"I got some grilled pork chops, let me tell you.. That thing, was SOOO DAMN GOOD. You get a LOT of food for the price, and the rice was my favorite. The pork chops were a bit too salty, but still really good! Service was also really good, The guy who served me was really kind. 10/10, would definitely recommend."

"I had gone to Queens Supreme Court and asked Google for a Mexican restaurant near me, which this was the spot that was recommended and was a bit over 1 mile away by driving (6 minutes or so). Amazingly delicious, I mean everything that we ordered tasted good, including the fries that came unsalted. Serviced by a young woman that was very nice. I thought I was gonna have to use my broken Spanish and didn't have to because the woman used her English and prevented my family from feeling awkward using our little bit of Spanish. Tiny little spot, I don't recommend more than a party of six but I can see this place making a bigger party fit. They take cards, street parking if your lucky and I didn't spot any high chairs for small children. I forgot to take a pic of my order and my wife's but I had the birria & quesillo - delicious. Wife had the chili relleno, she said it was good. Kids had buffalo wings + french fries and salchi papas, I for pics of these. We also split a nachos texano - good. Oh, wife had the tamarindo betidas; it was so good and refreshing."

"My boyfriend and I were around the area and found this amazing gem I finally found a Mexican Restaurant that meets my expectations!"

"The tacos were Mid (mediocre) and lacking flavor, not to mention I took a chance because the NYC food grade was pending... to top it off b/c I ask for a mixed Auga Fresca, Jamaica and pina they wanted to charge me $12 for an $8 drink. Had I know there was an up charge up front I would have said no. ( the guy was nice and only charged me $8 after me complaining) I was really hoping for great Tacos, in the Queens Area. One of my favorite spots so far is Girasoles Mexican Cuisine on Jamaica Ave, in Hollis. Great service and Tacos!!"

- Jelesa B.

"Small little Mexican Restaurant that is absolutely fabulous! I had fried cheese, cactus, chorizo, scallion, beef, rice, beans, tortillas, and the HOTTEST jalapeno pepper I've ever had! Just fabulous and well worth tracking down if you are in Queens! Awesome restaurant that served the food quick and hot. All was fabulous!"
