Taqueria Coatzingo: Authentic Mexican Flavors in Jackson Heights

Coatzingo Taquería is one of those places that truly makes a difference when you’re looking for authentic Mexican food in New York. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere immediately transports you to Mexico. The entire decoration is fully Mexican, filled with details that make you feel as if you were eating tacos at a traditional market. That authenticity sets it apart and makes the whole experience so much more special than just going to a regular taco spot. The food is outstanding. I tried several tacos, and without a doubt, the tripe taco was the best I’ve ever had—perfectly cooked, with amazing flavor and just the right texture. The al pastor tacos are also delicious, with a truly authentic taste that’s hard to find outside of Mexico. The guacamole has excellent flavor, fresh and well-prepared, although I did find the portion quite small compared to the $10 price. Still, I have to admit the taste itself was really good. The service is another highlight. The person who took care of my table was attentive, always checking in and making great recommendations to make sure I had a good experience from start to finish. That kind of hospitality makes a big difference and is definitely appreciated. If there’s one thing I would add, it would be Mexican music playing in the background. The place already has the authentic décor and amazing food, and adding traditional music would complete the atmosphere and make it feel 100% like being in Mexico. Overall, Coatzingo Taquería is definitely a place I recommend if you’re in New York and want to enjoy real tacos. The quality of the food, the unique Mexican atmosphere, and the good service make it worth the visit. If you’re looking for a spot that takes you to Mexico with every bite, this is the place to go

Ordered the mixed enchiladas platter, a red beef soup, and 2 tacos. The enchiladas hit a craving I’ve had for a while. I feel like a lot of places in NYC don’t do them right, this place does though. I found them to be delicious. Red sauce is better than green sauce. The soup was also really good, very flavorful and spiced well. Something I’ve never had before! Tacos were alright. Not the best I’ve had in NYC, but were decent. I think too much guacamole… and I love guacamole. Free chips & salsa at the start, good salsa too. Try something you’ve never had before on this menu, you’ll surprise yourself.

Best ever Mexican food ate in Queens NY. I feel like I'm in Mexico every time I visit this place, the music, the service, and especially the food.

The food is very delicious. The drinks slap and the service is speedy and attentive. Highly recommend this place. Came here last night and the place was PACKED!!!

We had a great meal here. Delicious chips and guac to start, and some very tasty beef enchiladas with great hot sauce, and micheladas. My friend got the el pastor tacos and was raving about them too, but my portion was so generous I had no room to try hers. Staff were friendly and attentive and we would definitely go again.

my ex situationship and i rekindled our flame over a tray of tacos. the tacos are fresh and flavorful with every bite. this is now our favorite spot. We are expecting our first pair of twins in February

First time here and it immediately became one of my top Mexican spots. I had the chilaquiles verdes con cecina and my husband had the birria con queso tacos and a shrimp taco. Complementary chip and salsa are top notch. Everything was amazing, we’ll be back very often.

Delicious and honestly priced. Total spent 20 Dollars.
