El Puerto de Acapulco Bar & Restaurant

Sooooo good. Excellent Mexican food. I’m from Southern California, and the style of Mexican food is by far some of the closest I’ve found to food back in CA. You can always tell by the rice, and the rice here never fails!

This place is disgusting. Not only are they illiterate, but they lack the ability to follow instructions. The meat has too much fat. There is barely any meat to begin with in the order. The cheese tasted sour even more than normal. And what alarmed me the most was that the meat had an orange color. I through my meal out asap. Do not buy from this establishment. Ever! I am just surprised I am not sick yet.

I’m not too fond of the Sopes, but the tacos are ok. My husband and I were the only ones on a Saturday around 1:00pm

Great place for real authentic mexican food, go on sunday afternoon for great goat barbacoa (fresh roasted goat) or Consommé (soup made from the leftover juices of the barbacoa.

Pretty tasty Mexican food. The tacos are good; they don’t skimp out on the meat, the avocado sauce on top wasn’t watery like other places. The burritos are massive, comes with a side salad, good enough for 2 meals. L loved the octopus cocktail. I normally don’t like tortas, but the one I had here was surprisingly delicious and that’s after reheating it in the microwave at home. I don’t recall which one we had, but it was spicy from the grilled jalapeños. It hurt so good… The guacamole was okay, mine is better, but I like that it comes in a small mortar priced at only $ 3.50.
For drinks we tried a couple of shakes, but the best non-​alcoholic item was their agua frescas con melon. Tasted like real melons, quite refreshing with all that spicy food.
It was pretty much empty during lunch, but we’ll definitely come back to check out the rest of the menu during dinner hours.

My coworkers and I haunt this joint like no other. On days where I don’t bring my lunch and I’m craving Mexican, I come here. Large seating area although I usually take my food to go. Basically they have good whole dishes here to what you would find at an awesome street cart! Something for everyone. Speaking Spanish helps but not necessary. Food is made to order so there might be a bit of a wait but that just means it is super fresh. It’s somewhat of an open kitchen-​you can see when you are ordering and also from the street as there is a window where you can peek into the kitchen. My standard order is usually tostadas with whatever protein I am craving that day (ahem carnitas). I will say that this place is so good that I can’t decide if this is my favorite Mexican place or Tortilleria Mexicana Los Hermanos in Brooklyn is. So that means five star deliciousness.
If you do stay, note that their salsa for their chips is amazing. There is something really special and when we asked, it’s salsa mixed with cocktail sauce. Genius!
For those of you that are not Queens savvy-​take the 7 train to 90^th St/​Elmhurst and walk to 37^th ave and walk a few blocks up to 93^rd St. You can also take the train to Junction, walk to 37^th Ave and walk a few doors down.
