Amazing Food, my favorite go toos at this place is the Tinga tostadas, and the steak burrito with extra steak. Flavor is amazing. I've been trying to eat the entire menu slowly. It's cute and cozy and love the whole family first vibe l. It's nice to know that the restaurant was based on the owners wife. I've gone and eaten at alot of other Mexican restaurants and the are the best I've had by far if I could Give them 6th star I would. On Top of that food isn't too dry nor too greasy and wet. It's a nice balance and their green and red sauce is just amazing.

Nice little restaurant in the middle of the block , I actually Yelp this place up. It was the closed Mexican restaurant around my area. I decided to give them a try, I called to order at first, it was sad to be notified that they don't deliver more then a certain radius. The delivery guys don't drive they deliver by foot or bicycle. I was 0.9 miles away, which they decline delivery. What the hell, I decided to go pick it up myself, not gunna judge base of delivery options. I ordered their tacos and quesadilla along with the guac and chips as a appetizer. Food was on point very authentic. I love the texture of the taco, and a quesadilla was delicious. Out of all the Mexican places I've tried, this is actually going to be my go to spot. Price is a little bit on the expensive side, but foods on point.

I am pleased to recommend Fidela's. I am happy, because I would like to see small businesses thrive. So any opportunity to support honest, hardworking folk making their living offering something useful to the world, that should be taken to promote entrepreneurship. That is what this restaurant is, people who are providing food that is competently made, at good prices, efficiently, in a clean environment. I stopped by for lunch. I had attended an event in nearby Electchester, the union co-op that has continued to do well since it was opened post World War II under the leadership of Harry Van Arsdale, who wanted electricians to have a comfortable community ("chester" in the name connoting the sense of middle class respectability). I was wondering where I could eat that would not be too expensive or too unhealthy. I had made plans for the evening, to eat clam pizza at a joint that boasts their pies are "life changing." (Report forthcoming.) This was an easy seven minute walk, a stroll. They were preparing a take out order for someone when I went in. It seems they do quite a bit of that, carry away. A family with a child, a screaming one, came afterwards. That indicates they are family friendly. I had a cheese tamale and the spinach quesadilla. I added hot sauce. They had two options, stronger and milder. They looked homemade, in plastic squeeze bottles. The spicier suited me. The best aspect of the meal was the value. The day before, I had a fast food chain meal, and I was shocked at the price; that was a bad deal, and I don't intend to try it again (Carl's Jr., fish sandwich). This came in at less, for fresh prepared, sit down casual dining. I rely on Yelp to guide me in unfamiliar neighborhoods. Perhaps this post will return that favor for someone looking for an easy, affordable lunch.

Food is delicious. Authentic tacos and other Spanish food. I haven't been inside but I order and go pick it up. It's always ready fast and still yummy. I recommend the fajita bowls and their beef tacos. The beef isn't chewy and very flavorful

I've ordered here a couple of times and the food has been great! Only had one issue with the portion size on the steak burrito filling but whenever I get chicken it's perfect. The chicken quesadilla is really good and their pico de gallo is the perfect pairing. My go-to spot when I need a filling lunch!

While in this area of Queens you don't have too many choices for authentic Mexican food. Well once I ordered from here and then a day later ordered again, I am very pleased with this place. Ordering from a Resturant can be tricky when it comes to getting extras or removing items from an order, but they did so well making sure to follow directions. I ordered the camarones burrito (ITS HUGE....or shall o say a decent size!!!) and had vegan cheese in place of the regular and ceviche each time. They were both delicious each time!! I wish I could figure out a way they could wrap the burrito in something rather than just the tin because the tortilla gets a bit wet. Had to "George foreman" it a bit to add some crisp to the tortilla. The ceviche was really delicious. Taste very fresh and enjoyable. Once I can have a dine in experience I will hopefully be able to give them a five star rating!!! All in all, this place is delicious with reasonable prices. I will be back!

I just love family-run authentic ethnic restaurants! Fidela's has been on my radar since they opened and I finally went since I was in the neighborhood for a dentist appointment. Plenty of street parking; some paid meters. This is more of a takeout place than a dine-in restaurant; although if you'd like to dine-in (post Covid19), they do have a few tables. This was the most calm, demure, and efficient Mexican restaurant I've ever been in. I appreciated the stress-free takeout experience, during Covid19! Fidela's has a pretty good variety of offerings on their menu. So many choices; they ALL sound delicious. On this visit, we opted to try their quesadillas and tacos. Tacos: I really appreciated that they wrapped each tacos in a way that any excess liquid will drip inside the wrapping and NOT make a huge mess. Honestly, these are probably the neatest tacos I've ever eaten! haha Also, the filling in the tacos were VERY generous! We tried 3 kinds and each kind was delicious. Each taco comes with a wedge of lime. Tacos we tried: ~ Carnes Asada (grilled steak) - $3.50 ~ Barbacoa (slow cooked goat) - $3.50 ~ Al Pastor (pork w.pineapple) - $3.00 Quesadillas: They have "Traditional" Quesadillas (made with fresh corn tortillas) and "Synchronized" Quesadillas (made with flour tortillas). We tried two of their traditional quesadillas; both were fresh and tasty but a little bit messy to eat. The fillings in these quesadillas were not as generous as the tacos but still delicious. Quesadillas (traditional) we tried: ~ Tinga (shredded beef brisket) - $3.50 ~ Huitlacoche (corn mushroom) - $3.50 Hot sauce: they offer 2 kinds of sauce; both served on the side. The green sauce has great flavor but not enough heat, so add some of the red sauce along with the green for maximum flavor and heat. All in all, the food was fantastic and I can't wait to return to try their Tortas and Burritos! Tasty and inexpensive; Fresh ingredients. I shall be back...
