Tortilleria & Taqueria Nixtamal
104-05 47th Ave., Corona, (718) 699-2434. L-D daily (M-W closes at 7pm); $$.
Colorful and cheery, this Mexican restaurant uses only fresh, non-genetically modified 100% corn products, and the healthy menu items inspired by family recipes are made with no preservatives or additives. Though most ingredients at Tortilleria & Taqueria Nixtamal are purchased from local businesses committed to sustainability, the masa (corn dough) is prepared in the traditional ancient way and with the addition of kosher-certified practices at the Rovey Seed Farm Company in Illinois. Menu highlights include guacamole and nachos (both are especially tasty), tamales, shrimp tacos, and build-your-own tacos. Vegetarian options are also available. The kids meal consists of a quesadilla with crema and lettuce. A large machine in the back is operated after hours to make tortillas both for this restaurant and many others.
You might want to plan in a visit to Flushing Meadows Corona Park, which is just three blocks away. Among the many activities there are the New York Hall of Science and the Queens Zoo.
