“Definitely my favorite restaurant for Mexican food. Traditional, with a touch of modern flavors. This restaurant is connected with it's roots and values of warmth, family, community, fun, and exceptional taste. The service has always been so welcoming and kind. From the owner, the waiters, and bartenders. I have tried many dishes and I keep coming back. The taste is truly one of a kind, not too little.. not too much. Simply perfect. Please support this business and give it a visit -- you absolutely won't regret it.“
“Truly the best Mexican food I’ve had in the city so far. I didn’t know what to expect but the meats and flavor profiles were so developed. We had the tacos, bone marrow, Short rib, bass entree, scallops appetizer, and the rice pudding. Meat was juicy and smoked. Scallops were the softest most pure flavor I’ve had in a while and the spice completely opened up my palate. The bass with its accompanied salad was extremely intricate and well thought out to connect the two. Highly HIGHLY recommend Claro. Definitely coming back to explore the mezcal side of the menu.“
“Emma the hostess was so kind and so attentive!! Went above and beyond to seat us. I feel so desensitized to nyc culture but Emma as well as the full staff at Santa Fe BK gave me FAITH! KINDNESS WINS!!!Frfr the warm ambiance environment matches the warm employees“
“I love love love this place and order burritos frequently from here as a weekend treat. However, my order is frequently wrong. I would definitely check your burrito before taking it away! I am lactose intolerant and get the veggie burrito with vegan cheese and maybe 25% of the time they give me a chorizo burrito with regular cheese. Today is one of those days ???. I should have checked! I would say that this place would be a nightmare if you have life threatening dietary restrictions.“
“What a pleasant surprise! Stopped by on a whim. Attentive service and easily the Birria de res (con queso Oaxaca ?) I’ve had in NYC! Their café de olla is tasty with cinnamon and other warm spices. Def check this spot out if you’re in the area!“
“Let's just say this place has a 5 star rating for a reason. ALL the tacos are stellar but my favorite is the brisket (sudadero) - it is the most delicious brisket, wow. Tried the quesadilla this past time and it's sooo gooood, pretty large so it will fill you up! And keep in mind it does get to be a bit greasy but if you're in the mood for that, it will 100% satisfy that craving. I also love the workers there, the main woman at the front is always SO nice and attentive :) it's a small place so not great for big groups, but definitely eat inside if you can!! (They bring out chips and salsa for dine-in) ;)“
“This place is a wonderful rooftop bar! ? The Freehold Rooftop inside the Pod 39 Hotel ? offers great views of NYC ? and serves a nice selection of drinks and cocktails! ? Definitely get their Apple Cider Bourbon Cocktail!? The place is beautifully decorated ?️ and the ambience ? is fantastic! The staff ?? is super friendly and the service is quick. ⏲️ I wish I came here earlier and more often!“
“The daily lunch specials are such an amazing value, I thought the quality would suffer because the prices are so reasonable and that’s impossible to find these days! The Rice Bowl/Burrito Wrap is only like $10.75 and the burritos are minimum 5lbs. Ordering is easy and they offer free delivery. I just moved to this area and this is the best food that I have found in the area so far. I have introduced my friends to it and they agree with me; the authentic and delicious food with fresh ingredients, wonderful staff who always greet you with a huge smile. Do yourself a favor and try this place because it is absolutely amazing!“
“This is a 2 visit review. Both times the food was great. I’d recommend the loaded fries and the fish tacos. They were both delicious. The margaritas are pretty good also, slightly on the sweeter side but still worth a try (I like mine more tart). The bartender accidentally gave us chicken nachos & to accommodate, brought us a side of the steak to put on top. The staff was very welcoming & kind even before the mixup. It seemed to just be 2 people working the floor but they did a great job even with a full bar of customersKid-friendliness: There’s a kid menu“
“First of all I gotta mention how brilliant chef Edger is! His passion for cooking & improvising with new food is respectable! His eyes lights up everytime he gets to talk about his creations , loved that! He was kind enough to make mock-tails for me who doesn’t drink alcohol ! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.The staff were very kind, respectful & helpful! They worked hard from the start to finish. Chef has a good team ! Thank you guys for everything!I am a good lover, travel real far from my island just to try new food. It’s a commitment & lots of hard work. I am happy I was able to come here after getting off from work. And let me tell you it was all worth it, because every item was delicious. Even tho most of the items I have never had but I enjoyed them. So trying something totally new & enjoying it says a lot about the food!I got to try 3 different Mock-tails & I actually enjoyed all of them. Loved the Guacamole the most! Even in my head I was already making new recipes with guacamole lol.First time trying oysters & I liked it. Now I am not afraid to try it again lol! Also tried octopus for the first time & I loved it. I am so glad I was able to come, loved every minute of it.Met some new beautiful faces, tried to make some new friends. End of the day it was a wonderful event . Btw, the restaurant itself is beautiful, not too big. Small, cozy & cute little spot . Thank you Cena for the invite…❤️“
“I came here for a quick lunch and had one of the best breakfast burritos I've found in Brooklyn! The ingredients and produce are so fresh and priced super well. Service was fast, friendly, and food was great. Will become a neighborhood staple for us for sure!“
“Yummy Tamales!!I had the Adobo tamal and Raja Pollo tamal. I also had champurrado, but I would not recommend it because it taste like straight up flour and water with a pinch of chocolate in which you do not taste (please improve the recipe). I say this with much love ?“
“The reviews are right. This place has great tasting food! We got the J*** chicken with rice and peas and plantains. We also got the wings with Rasta Pasta and plantains. Everything was on point and super flavorful. I highly recommend the wings - they are the best thing we got and the best wings you can get. I will say it was a little more expensive than usual but the portion sizes were good and the food tasted great so its worth it. Highly recommend trying this place.“
“Unfortunately I am attempting to finish this review in 2024, long after visiting this establishment so I do not recall my visit here besides giving it 5/5 stars. So in my very trusted book of ratings, I absolutely enjoyed this spot and the food was amazing. So I'll be back and do a better job reviewing next time.“
“It was a beautiful spring day as I was welcomed into the bar area which is fairly large. Many people were there due to st Patrick’s day. The bartender greeted me and I was fortunate enough to meet the owner through a buddy of mine. The beer was nice and cold and the people were friendly. Found a table outside with two young ladies and my bud. We shared frozen margaritas and then they put 90s hip hop and r&b.. my favorite. The sun was setting so we had to go. Highly recommend for a chill night out, will definitely try the food next time!“
“first time coming here ever on a less busy day and had the pleasure of chatting with the owner lori! she is clearly very passionate and her menu is well thought out and researched, i even got a taste of her chipotle coleslaw which was delish. the carnitas really are bomb like the sign outside says. also both the red sauce and green sauce were divine! i will be coming back soon!“
“The food was tasty, beef in beef quesadilla was a bit tough but other than that the food was overall good. Quantity was larger than I thought. The restaurant is casual and nothing fancy but the server was really sweet and I enjoyed the experience.“
“This is my favorite recent addition to the community. The food is delicious, and the closest I've found to the Mexican food I grew up with in Arizona. The prices are a lifesaver given the state of the economy and the staff is always so friendly. 5 stars“
“I'm obsessed with Lunera! This Colombian-Mexican gem in Astoria has stolen my heart and taste buds. Their sangria is hands-down my favorite - a perfect blend of fruity and tangy. But honestly, everything on the menu is a must-try! From the mouthwatering churrasco (their specialty, and for good reason!) to the flavorful empanadas and paella , every dish is a masterpiece. The owners are often present, warmly greeting customers and making everyone feel like family. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the service is top-notch. If I had to choose just one favorite, it'd be the churrasco - but honestly, I dream about everything on their menu! Five stars and a permanent spot on my favorite restaurants list. ?? Lunera, you have my heart (and taste buds) forever!“
