It is no longer the big garbage dump it used to be, very bad in every way, expensive and bad, they lost their clientele, bad service and they no longer have a New Year's Eve party, they dedicated themselves to damaging it.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry and I'm sorry that a place that in the past was one of the best in Queens is just a sad place.

The food lives up to the name of the restaurant.
1.The paisa tray with entrails. I brought the raw arepa, you could feel the texture of the uncooked dough, the tasteless and HARD inside, the toasted chorizo and parts burned on the outside and raw on the inside, to top it off the salty pork rinds and half had no meat, only fat without salt.
2. The salad. Just leaves, 3 pieces of tomato and black pieces of avocado. Nothing fresh.
3. Tostones with pico de gallo. Tostones were passable, the pico de gallo was not fresh and the refried “smoked” Chicharrón tasted like burnt oil.
4. Seafood casserole and rice Tasteless and the French fries equally raw on the inside and fried on the outside.
5. We ordered the juices in milk and they were more water and tasteless.
6. The spoons had food stuck to them, we had to change them.
In conclusion, a terrible experience. We paid for honesty but almost everything went to waste. What a regret.

I recommend this restaurant. The food was fresh and delicious, and the service was excellent. Jeisson was a very kind waiter and treated us well.

The worst restaurant I have ever been to, the service and food were so bad that I said I was not paying for the service and I charged it anyway and he told me that it was mandatory, I asked the manager and he told me that he was not there and that I should leave, I He pushed me and my companions, I asked the bank to claim the final value and the bank told me that they had the same problem with that commercial establishment and when I read people's reviews I see that it was not a bad day for the waiter from the restaurant if not it is something generalized.
I recommend not going to bad food and perverse service.

They should cancel the food services and just sell drinks. I remembered when they opened back in 2009, The food was amazing and were more for family oriented.
Now the place is more hang out to find men or girls. They have physical menus for drinks and not for food, for food you have to scan the QR Code.. It’s like they get upset with you if you don’t want to order drinks and only food. The waitress are not attentive to the tables. They rushed you to order and then they never go back to check if your food was well cooked.. They served me a burned chicharrón , it’s like they used one from the day before and put it in the microwave, it was like a rock, but when you go and tell them , they answer you as; that it’s how it’s been served to everybody. The beans and the beef were tasteless, fried green plantains were hard and dry and a dark color looking.
Well good thing is that Astoria has some
Many places to eat, but it’s a shame that our own hispanic community isn’t been scam by another hispanic person.Example; You go to a Greek restaurant or cafe and you can tell the difference, you pay same price but the food And the services not a comparison to el Basurero.

The Quality and quantity of the food is not like how it used to be. Bandeja paisa with skirt steak is very thin for $38
The Rib soup was very salty

I imagined another experience but it was worse the only good thing was the service after the bad drink I ordered an appetizer and a sangria and they didn't even taste like juice the worst pina colada the appetizer the chicharone was like old the tostone was old and bad I don't recommend it that's why the noun garbage dump
Very strong drinks, the food is okay with good options. The service is generally pleasant and easy going. They were very accommodating to us (party of 20). The meat was perfectly cooked and the sauces were all very tasteful.
The bathrooms downstairs are in desperate need of an upgrade.

When a costumer thinks something is wrong with their experience, as s server all u gotta do is listen to save your tip after horrible service. Also don’t ever assume a costumer is not going to spend money. Costumer respect is non negotiable.

We will not return to this place,
They are usurers with the prices... the waiters are not to blame but they are abusive, it is not possible for them to charge 10 dollars for a beer, we paid 140 dollars for a single plate of food and 7 beers... it is not because of the money but with security we have gone
To places a thousand times better and the prices are reasonable
Let's start with the fact that the waiter didn't even know the menu. To order a Cocktail I didn't know what it was, despite reading it twice, I didn't even know what I was ordering. We were about 10 diners and when it came to ordering he was in a hurry, on several occasions he left and left us talking alone. Then let's not even talk about the food, I ordered a T-Bone medium rare in cooking and that looked like an old, hard and overcooked flip flop. They put cassava and rice and the cassava was poured in old oil because they were black rather than golden! $34 for this dish that is not even worth it. A total account of $530 + tips (clarifying that they already charge 10% by themselves). I would NOT return even as a joke. Excessively expensive, poor quality and the food is NOT WORTH IT. They still have a lot to learn about meat (for example).

I do not recommend anyone to go to this place Garbage 🤬🤬🤬terrible attention ‼️ 🤬🤬🤬from the waiters….!!!!! We went with friends to enjoy the Party. On top of the great bucket of Cervesa, they charged us too much. They charged me $55.42 and that's because I realized the percentage of the tip...!!!! My other friends were charged $90.00 dollars per bucket 🪣 because the cheeky waiter tipped the highest which is 20% I think…!!!!! And we complained to him and he said that it is because of the Uruguay Vs Colombia match….!!!!!! They are Thieves, I don't recommend anyone to go to this Garbage Restaurant...!!!!!! Terrible bad…!!!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
If at any time it crosses your mind to go to that place when paying, look closely at the bill because they charge you whatever they want.
