Master Critic Review

Guac Time - Whitestone 7.7
Murray Hill-Broadway Flushing
Guac Time’s Whitestone location straddles Flushing’s northern edge, offering build-your-own Mexican bowls plus a surprisingly strong fries game, from plain sides to fully loaded trays. With long hours and generous portions, it works as a budget-friendly option when you want fries loaded like nachos.
Must-Try Dishes: Loaded Fries, Fish & Chips with Fries, Burrito Bowl with Fries on the Side
