Alma's Mexican Cuisine

Alma's is a regular stop for us, usually ordering something every week or two. I am obsessed with the burritos because they are full of fresh, delicious ingredients. Plus, they are enormous! The tamales are also excellent. For the first time last week, my husband ordered the torta. It was incredible! We always receive excellent customer service. The outdoor seating is perfect for a sunny Astoria day.

A Taste of True Hospitality and Tradition at Almas Almas Mexican Cuisine isn't just a restaurant; it's a heartfelt dining experience. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with the kind of warmth that makes you feel like family, and that feeling only grows throughout your meal. Let's start with the star—the food. "Tasty" doesn't do it justice. This is authentic, deeply flavorful cuisine made with evident care. Whether it's the richly complex moles, the perfectly marinated and grilled meats in the tacos al pastor, or the incredibly fresh guacamole made to order, every dish sings with authenticity. The sauces are bold, the ingredients are fresh, and the love for tradition is palpable in every bite. It’s the kind of food you crave long after you've left. But what truly sets Almas apart is the excellent customer service. Alma herself, along with her team, provides service that is both attentive and genuinely gracious. They are knowledgeable, patient with questions, and passionate about sharing their culinary heritage. Whether it's a recommendation, a special request, or just checking to ensure your meal is perfect, the service is consistently top-notch. You get the sense they aren't just serving customers; they're welcoming guests into their home. In short, Almas delivers an exceptional combination of soul-satisfying food and heartfelt service. It’s a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic and wonderfully welcoming Mexican dining experience. Highly recommended.

We got tamales to go! This is a good truck attached to the Buoy Beer Taproom. Great vibe. There are 3 other food trucks

If you haven't eaten here and you are visiting or live here you need to try this gem out! I ate here for the second time and I was told I need to try Alma’s tamales and man they weren't joking! She offers a red sauce pork tamale, and green sauce chicken tamale, both were good but the green one, its hard to find the words to describe. Let me make an attempt. These green sauce chicken tamales were uhhhhmazing. They were saucy. They were exquisite. My tastebuds fell in love. After my meal I went back and bought 15 more tamales so I could freeze some to savor in those times of need when I need a little pick me up. She told me that she doesn't sell to many of the tamales and I told her this just wouldn’t do. I told her I was going to write a review so more people could experience the fantasticness of Alma’s tamales. I really did go and stock up on theme. Proof in the pic. This place is a treasure! I’ll tell you this now. You. Are. Welcome. :)

Tried this place for the first time and was really good. Alma was super nice! It's located next to a brewery and there's ample seating outside.

Delish food while you drink a cold beer. Woman owned and operated. I ordered the potato flautas and corn, my friend burrito and chips and salsa. Happy for the veggie options. Only thing I would change would be fresh, homemade chips, but the salsa was delish. I would eat there again when visiting Astoria. Love the vibe. :)

What an awesome surprise! We ordered the carne asada nachos, menudo, and I had to try the Al pastor and birria as well. The menudo is on point. The tacos were on homemade tortillas. The Al pastor was perfectly cooked and marinated. Will definitely be going back next time we’re in Astoria to try more of the menu.

Super friendly folks! I got the small nachos with chicken, and they were delicious! Definitely recommend!
