" Hands down the best carnitas tacos I've ever had! The freshness of the ingredients is just top-notch. It really feels like a taste of home. A small family-run place where you get that genuine feeling of hospitality. I had no issues with service during my visit; the staff was friendly and attentive. Be prepared to wait a little during peak times, but once you taste the food, you'll understand why so many people flock here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried La Espiga for the first time last weekend. I was disappointed as I expected excellent tacos but found them to be a bit bland. The service was okay, but I felt that they were overwhelmed as it got busy in there. I hope my experience was just a fluke, as I’ve heard so many great things about it. " (*Curated Review*)

" With a rich history of authentic Mexican cuisine, La Espiga continues to bring the flavors of México to Queens. The handmade tortillas are a true highlight, every bite is fresh and warm. My favorite was the barbacoa taco, which melted in my mouth. Despite the cozy and somewhat cramped atmosphere, the food experience made up for it. Just remember to visit early on the weekends, as they run out of popular items quickly! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations given the reviews, but my experience at La Espiga was mixed. While the food is undeniably authentic and the tacos are some of the best I've had in Queens, my visit was marred by slow service. I waited quite a while for my order and felt overlooked as multiple tables around me were served before mine. Still, the carne asada was delectable, and I appreciate the homemade tortillas. Just be patient when you go! " (*Curated Review*)

" The authentic taste of La Espiga took me back to my childhood in Mexico! The tacos de carnitas are a must-try; they are seasoned impeccably. My family and I enjoyed a lovely meal here, and the portions were generous enough to satisfy everyone. The only downside was that it got quite crowded, making it a little uncomfortable at times. I would definitely recommend stopping by for a taste of true Mexican flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely fantastic! La Espiga is the definition of comfort food. The tacos here are made with love, and the hand-made tortillas add such a delightful touch. I highly recommend the carnitas – they're tender and flavorful. Don't forget to pair your meal with their house-made salsas, which are perfectly spiced. The only downside was the wait time on a busy weekend, but it's totally worth it! I'll definitely be coming back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has incredible potential but needs work. It feels a bit chaotic inside, especially during busy hours, which led to a longer wait for our food. That said, once the tacos arrived, we were delighted! The flavors were authentic, and everything was fresh and delicious. I can't recommend enough the handmade tortillas. Just make sure to check the prices before you order to avoid any surprises! " (*Curated Review*)
