Michelada House II

"Michelada House II in Jackson Heights has perpetual party energy. This is, in large part, because they serve about a dozen varieties of cartoonishly large micheladas. Their family-style Mexican dishes could very well feed the majority of a subway car, and the dining room is decorated as though a sparkly green, white, and red firework exploded inside. Be sure to get the 15-inch taquitos, chilaquiles torta, and at least one of the dozen varieties of the restaurant’s titular drink. Remember Michelada House II the next time you need a fun place to bring seven people." - bryan kim, neha talreja, hannah albertine, carlo mantuano

"This spot specializes in the fanciful beer-tomato juice-chile cocktails called micheladas, offering a dozen or more, plus a regular menu of Mexican antojitos, plus a special menu of snacks originating in Mexico City, including a torta stuffed with chilaquiles, as well as a machete mixto — a two-foot oblong tostada dotted with various meats. If you haven’t tried them, the grasshopper tacos make an excellent drinking snack." - Robert Sietsema

"Michelada House II in Jackson Heights has perpetual birthday party energy. They serve about a dozen varieties of cartoonishly large micheladas, as well as trays full of Corona bottles and shrimp or chapulines. Their family-style Mexican dishes run from $30-$40 and could very well feed the majority of a subway car, and the dining room is decorated as if a rainbow firework exploded inside of it. Of the near-infinite things to order on the menu, we particularly like the 40-centimeter-long beef taquitos and tacos de chapulines." - neha talreja, hannah albertine

"Michelada House II serves a chilaquiles torta with a chicken cutlet, beans, crema, and chilaquiles, creating a rich sandwich perfect for pairing with drinks." - Robert Sietsema
