Hi, guys. So I just got a studio in Jackson Heights. I know there is a ton of restaurants in the area but does anyone know where to begin? I need a Mexican, an Italian and a Chinese spot. I've already got an Indian place in BK I'm loyal to so I'm good there. Any sports bars for Yankee/Ranger games to check out?
The restaurants that I know in Jackson Heights that are good are Jackson Diner (Indian), Tomo (Japanese) and Mi Estrella (a combined Chinese-Cuban restaurant).
Indian Taj was my favorite for a buffet lunch, better than Jackson Diner and a couple bucks less. I am not sure if they are still open: they seem to be.
For Mexican, a lot of people swear by El Rico Tinto, which is considered Mexican/Colombian. I have only been there once for empanadas. The other Mexican places I've been meaning to try are Juquila and El Maguey. Some people seem to love La Taqueria Coatzingo but I didn't like it.
Besides that, for Mexican, you have a bunch of places that are tacos and small take-out bites only, like La Esquina de Camaron, which is in the back of a convenience store. Despite being so small, that place was reviewed in the Times.
I'm not a sports fan, but the people I know who go to sports bars have mentioned Legends, Cassidy's and Barriles. Barriles is more Latin American-focused so I'm not sure what games are played, but they do have tons of screens. (You could also go to Woodside for sports bars. I'm not sure what is there but probably more choices than Jackson Heights.)
For Italian takeout, check out Louie's near Elmhurst hospital. It's called Louie's Pizza but they have a bunch of Italian entrees as well.

These are great suggestions, especially Louie's--will add that I'm partial to the bbq at Legends.
Good Chinese spots are generally a bit further down either in Elmhurt or in Flushing with both having great variety.
For rotisserie chicken and juicy ribs, 58st and woodisde avenue peking chicken Peru/Chinese business. Cash only ! They have another location near planet fitness on Roosevelt.
Cositas Rica on 81 and Roosevelt Columbian steaks , friggen awesome.
Chinese food go to flushing. John's Shangha (off of main on 37ave) sechuean capital(on Roosevelt before main Street) or the dumpling place on 37th avenue and prince street.
Best Dominican fried stuffs, la Cabana on 103 street off Roosevelt. Fried pork,chicken and monfongo !
Tacos, find your favorite cart. Its how I found mine.
Salvadorian restaurant, izalco on Roosevelt and 64 street.
Spanish food (Spain) on northern Blvd next to the 711 on 79 street.
Between Jackson Heights, Woodside, Astoria, Sunnyside, Elmhurst and Corona you have everything you'll ever need food wise. Best area in the entire city for eateries. There isn't a close second.
