Best Mexican Restaurants in Flushing-Willets Point

Birria Landia’s Tangram Mall outpost brings the cult-favorite Queens birria truck indoors, focusing almost entirely on slow-stewed beef folded into griddled tortillas and served with rich consommé. Lines move quickly, and the payoff is deeply seasoned tacos that taste like the brick-and-mortar evolution of one of NYC’s most talked-about taco trucks.

Tacos Bravos NY is a late-night Mexican kitchen on Northern Boulevard turning out tacos, burritos, and huaraches until well past 2 a.m. every night. It’s a go-to for Queens locals who want reliably hot, generously filled plates instead of a drive-thru run after bars or late shifts.

El Novillo is a carniceria-within-a-deli setup on Roosevelt Avenue where the taqueria counter runs late into the night with tacos, cemitas, and other Mexican staples. Locals slide past the grocery aisles to the back for made-to-order plates that feel more substantial than a quick grab-and-go cart taco.

Flushing Homemade Tamales is a tiny Roosevelt Avenue stand turning out steaming corn-husk tamales for just a few dollars apiece. Regulars appreciate the warm masa, straightforward fillings, and fast service when they want something hot to eat on the go.
