The Hottest New Restaurants in Queens, July 2024
"A Jackson Heights mini mall is now home to a Mexican pizzeria. At El Mercadito, Mexico City-born Hilario Morales, who’s also behind Homemade Taqueria, uses the thin crust pie as a deliriously extensive canvas for Mexican dishes. An al pastor pizza is topped with chipotle sauce and fresh pineapple; a chile relleno pie has quarters of the stuffed pepper laid out among roasted poblanos; a birria pizza is dappled with avocado sauce. Mexico City-style fried quesadillas, flautas, and taquitos round out the menu." - Caroline Shin, Eater Staff
