"On simply looks alone, La Bienvenida might just look like a small and in some cases divey Mexican restaurant. What most folks might not know is that they're in fact among the most successful out there since they have a number of taco carts floating all throughout western Queens. This is simply the brick and mortar location of a mini-taqueria empire. In a city where virtually 90% of all Mexicans inhabitants hail from Puebla, it might come as no surprise that La Bienvenida is mainly poblano style Mexican fare with a little reach in other regional Mexican cuisine. It might be a small place with a few tables, but their menu is stacked. They have as much variety as one could want. I normally don't praise tacos from a non-dedicated taqueria but La Bienvenida does a really good job with theirs. At the standard price of $3 each, they're sizeable and they do a stellar job with their meats, especially the chorizo and carnitas. I also appreciate their tasty sopes, chile rellenos, and especially their quesadillas. They also pride themselves on breakfast, serving the classics like pancakes, omelettes, and such. While breakfast is some of my favorite food out there, I think their chilaquiles or huevos a la mexicana are quality choices. I'm not sure about their delivery status, but I think they do a good job packing the takeout. If the restaurant is not available, the carts in Woodside, Jackson Heights, and Sunnyside. The people are nice and cash is always preferred. ______________ #1) i.e. NYC standard, naturally."
