"Jackson Heights, especially along Roosevelt Avenue, is a food haven with a multitude of Latin American cuisines, so it makes sense to find Taco Veloz here. The street-style tacos aren't much different than what you'd come across in parts of Mexico, in case you're missing the meal you had on vacation. You can order directly at the window on the sidewalk, and there's also a no-frills dining room if you can't wait to get home to dig in. Perhaps most surprising is that each taco is priced at $4, which is a bargain for authentic flavors in New York City."
"These certainly aren't your hard-shell tacos with ground beef and sour cream. Rather, the options reflect what you'd find in various parts of Mexico. Perhaps the most familiar items are chicken and chorizo, which is a spiced sausage (in case you didn't already know). Then there are carnitas, al pastor, goat, and tripa, which comes from the intestines of a cow. All of the tacos are served on corn tortillas with garnishes like cilantro, sliced radish, and white onion."
Taco Veloz sits beneath the 7 train in Jackson Heights, Queens, offering authentic Mexican street-style tacos at about $4 apiece. Customers can order at a sidewalk window or eat in a no-frills dining room. Tacos are served on corn tortillas with garnishes such as cilantro, sliced radish, and white onion. Menu options include chicken, chorizo, carnitas, al pastor, goat, and tripa, plus quesadillas, burritos, and tostadas with similar fillings. The offerings resemble regional Mexican street tacos rather than U.S.-style hard-shell varieties. A second location operates under the 7 line in Corona, Queens.
