Best Authentic Latin Food in Woodside/Sunnyside/Elmhurst/Jackson Heights
Born and raised in Woodside but sad to say that I haven' tried much of the latin foods there. I can go for anything really: Mexican, Ecuadorian, Dominican, Cuban, etc. We've probably eaten at all the Korean restaurants in town and my parents are a regular at the Stop Inn(nr. woodside station) but i haven't tried too much of the other stuff.
And now that I live in Boston, it makes it that much harder. So any recommendations on where I can go for some good authentic latin food and what to order there would be so awesome. Preferably for lunch but dinner recs would be good too.
in Boston?

if you're not opposed to going a bit further east to Corona, there's Tortilleria Nixtamal for Mexican and Rincon Criollo for Cuban, both off of the 7 train.

In Elmhurst/Jackson Heights:
Mexican:
Tacqueria Tulcingo on baxter ave, esp for their Huevos Rancheros
Taqueria Coatzingo on Roosevelt
(although I prefer Tortilleria Nixtamal to both of these)
Columbian:
La Pequena Columbia on Roosevelt (might not be good to go with vegetarians, although I think they have some seafood on their menu)
Ecuadorian:
I have no idea--there's quite a few places, and I bet some of them are gems. Anyone want to chime in here? This seems to be one dominant immigrant group in the part of elmhurst I live.
