El Tenampa Mexican Restaurant ·$

Behind the humble store front of El Tenampa lies a hidden gem that would have been easy to miss were it not for the hoard of hungry diners that swarm this little eatery at meal times. Grocery and deli rolled into one, El Tenampa doles out delicious, simple and authentic Mexican fare including tacos, sopes and tortas. Stuffed with homemade salsas, guacamole, pickles and succulent meats, the tacos sold here are especially popular. Although the deli is far from fancy, the food is undeniably delicious, each bite packed with bold and subtle flavors alike. There are a few tables at the back, but they usually fill up quickly so be sure to arrive early if you want to dine in.

I've tried many Mexican restaurants in Sunset, and while many are very good, the food at El Tenampa never misses. The. Best. Guacamole. - hands down, no argument.

The most cantina like atmosphere in Jackson Heights. The regulars are friendly and the waitstaff customer focused. The occasional itinerant musicians lend a live music vibe. The jukebox...

Storefront gives no indication there's a restaurant inside, or even a grocery store which you hit first, before walking all the way back to a room with some tables, a sauce and toppings cart, and...
