“wanted to check out a speakeasy while in town and came across the newsroom on tiktok, due to their “stuff your own empanada experience”. nestled in a quiet area of queens, with easy access.lovely speakeasy ambiance with an aerialist performer & live vocal performances. the music they play is all jazzy covers of hit songs, so it fits the vibe so well.the empanadas and the filet mignon taquitos, were so tasteful and delicious.they give you a very decent amount of time to be there, in order to make room for more people. our server Alberto couldn’t have been kinder and more accommodating to our preferences & needs while there.would recommend this to anyone looking for a laid back speakeasy outside of the hustle and bustle of the major city or times square.“
“Extremely delicious!! We got a large assortment of items. Top items are the beef salteña and the chicken sandwich. The beef salteña was better than the veggie, and the chicken sandwich was better than the chola. But everything was delicious. The rellenos were great as was the brisket artichoke mac n cheese. The peanut soup was very creamy. The rice pudding was also good.I am not very knowledgeable about Bolivian food but I'm a fan! Note there are only four outdoor dining tables.“
“This place was really amazing. Me and my friends did a brunch. The food was fantastic the drinks were delicious. We really had a great time. The waitress treated us really good and she was always coming around to see if we needed anything. Thank you so much Maria for your service.“
“Visited here three times now (both brunch and dinner) and had a lovely experience each and every time. Enjoyed good food in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.Had a different server each time but service was consistently attentive, kind, and efficient as possible. Noticed that it always seems to be one person working the front of the restaurant at a time so when it gets busy they really hustle.Wanted to try the homemade banana bread because of the good reviews but they didn’t have any. Betty recommended a dessert that resembled a plantain donut filled with a sweet bean paste and it was really yummy!It’s clear that the owners put a lot of love into the food and care about the community around them. Highly recommend.“
“I’ve visited twice and had several items on the menu and not a single one disappoints. Cozy atmosphere, and very friendly waiters and bartenders. The service is really great as well. I’m so happy to have Fito as a great addition to the neighborhood.Vegetarian options: The nachos can be prepared vegetarian, and there are many pescatarian options (shrimp ceviche, tuna tartare).“
“Came to casa on a Friday night for dinner with a group of friends, love the fact they had a dj on Friday playing great music, so the night started good, all the food was great , the shrimp and garlic sauce was the winner, and they have a great drinks, thank you Isabella for taking care of my group!! Love it..“
“A bit out of the way in Long Island City but totally worth the visit if you want to have some of the best ceviche in your life. Get the mixed ceviche with tostones and ask for extra green sauce, it is out of this world. Their Noodles and Cheese soup is also amazing!“
“Celebrated my grandmother’s 80th birthday at Casa Tuya and had a wonderful time. The ambiance, food and service was absolutely amazing. Our server Julia was attentive and made sure my family and my grandmother had a good time. It’s a must go no matter the age. Thank you Casa Tuya. We will be going back soon.“
“The ambiance was amazing lehanny was our server and she recommended and inform us of all the events and shows that were available I will be coming back soon I love the food and restaurant Leyvis was also very sweet and helpful I will be coming back soon with my “
“What a great hidden gem! The food is great and extremely fresh seafood! The ceviche mixto was flavorful and great portion to share. The highlight of the meal was the dessert, homemade ice cream that was creamy and unique! Will definitely go back!!“
“Fatima's is the best. I got the pernil, which I don't see on the "dishes I recommend" list, and that is a crime because this pernil was *amazing.* Also just plain old rice and beans, I don't know what they do to them but even the next day when they were cold they were still the best damn rice and beans I've ever had.“
“We had a holiday dinner event..I decided to cater food from Los Amigos due to their reviews...how close it was from work.The food was Dedelicious... we all loved and enjoyed the rice... the chicken..wings... Empandas, everything was just delicious!I place we look forward to going on our lunch break now as well!!Thank you for such delicious food!“
“Food amazing, staff amazing, hospitality amazing. Everything was very fresh, seafood cooked perfectly and the corn nuts are fun. Came with a large party and Tito took care of us, if you’re on the fence about dining here, you shouldn’t be.“
“When I found out this family business is co-owned by a fellow Queens College Alum, I had to come!!! It's so inviting and the hostess (sister) was more than accommodating. We were seated quickly and we were able to see the menu both print and via QR Code. We (my husband and I) loved the drink we had as well as the Aji Galina and Arroz Chaufa con Pollo. Extra sauces and a small corn based appetizer was given right away as well. I also appreciated the clean bathroom, which has a urinal and normal toilet, also ADA/wheelchair friendly. The music was excellent too. The fact that this is also family friendly is the ultimate selling point. There's something on the menu for everyone. I will definitely come back with my in laws! This is the freshest, best Peruvian in NYS!!! I WISH YOU ALL THE SUCCESS AND DECADES IN BUSINESS!“
“Everything was excellent, the truth is that every time we come they serve us very well, the drinks are delicious and the food is not to mention, 10/10, it is always our stop! A super comfortable place to eat, drink and dance, Jairo is an excellent waiter!“
“What a blast! The food, the atmosphere, the service and wow the drinks! We were killing time to head back home and met up with family that were already there. The fried shrimp dumplings was so good! And the wings!? Wow! The drinks by far were the highlight of the night. Were definitely going back with some time to chill.“
“‘The Freakin Rican’ rocks! I got a Pernil Sandwich with fries and a Guanabana drink. I loved how warm the food was and how natural the drink was. The Spanish music was amazing. The atmosphere was amazing. I even loved the aesthetic of the restaurant! Definitely planning to comeback??!“
“Brilliant. Perfect. I had no idea there was a Tabaré closer to my house than the one in Williamsburg. Love love love the place, the staff and the food obviously. Everything we ordered was delicious (Uruguayan sausage, Chicken Liver pate, Beet salad, Shrimps, Churrasco). I don’t think that we were done eating when we tried to figure out when we could come back next. Also, really fair prices. Just great :)“
“I went there for my mom Bday and I came back for a farewell dinner with a big group of latinas talking at the same time ??? … food, atmosphere and service was so great!! They also have live Paraguayan Typical music with an “Arpa” … we really recommend it !!! thank so much I love Paraguay team !!????❤️“
“Chucho's Hot Dogs is a great place to grab a delicious and creative hot dog. Their menu offers classic options alongside signature creations, with high-quality ingredients. They even allow for customization so you can build your own hot dog exactly how you like it. If you're looking for a fun and flavorful hot dog experience, Chucho's Hot Dogs is definitely worth checking out!“
“I’ve been going to Made in Puerto Rico since 2018, and it's hands down one of my favorite Puerto Rican restaurants in New York.As a Puerto Rican myself, stepping into this establishment feels like coming home—the atmosphere, service, and food are simply unparalleled.The addition of great music completes the experience. Saturday, have a great brunch with a live band. Kudos to Freeze for the consistently top-notch hospitality that makes every visit memorable. Highly recommend this gem ❤️??“
“Very cute spot with really good coffee and service. Ecuadorian fried rice was delicious and hit the spot, the egg on top made the whole meal. Would strongly recommend, very well priced and good serving sizes. Not too many seats indoors but still worth a visit if you're in the mood for either coffee or good food.“
“Tres Leches Cake is THE BEST omg. I’ve been trying tres leches cake everywhere until I found this place by so many recommendations from other people, it’s truly amazing. The best I’ve ever had!Sayra helped me and she was so so sweet!!!“
“Dropped in here a few weeks ago for some drinks and catching up with my friend that lives nearby. I think I had passed this a bunch of times in my adventures of going to Jackson Heights but never checked it out. One perk automatically, there's a check in special of a complimentary glass of Sangria! I haven't seen a check-in special in you don't know how long. It was really exciting. I went with the red sangria and then later ordered their take on a smoked old fashioned. Both were very potent and delicious. The aroma of the old fashioned was amazing. We also ended up getting a flan desert. Now this is going to sound ridiculous but I normally hate flan and this was really delicious. It had a texture that wasn't too jiggly and just creamy surrounded with beautiful strawberries and layered with caramel. It was almost more like a custard and I'll take custardy flan over jello flan every day. Their menu and brunch menu sounds delicious and would definitely think about coming back to try more.“
“Small, cozy atmosphere with yummy food and drinks. Guacamole was fresh, chips crisp. Chuleta al pastor amazing with its pineapple jam, moro and shaved brussel sprouts salad. The corn was yummy. I expected the maple maduros to be sweeter because of the maple but they were regular maduros which was still perfectly fine. Tamarind margarita and mezcal drink were perfect. I will definitely recommend and be back.“
“Came by for an early dinner on a Saturday night. This place is a little outside the busy main Astoria area. The outside looks very minimalistic you wouldn't know it's Peruvian just passing by. From the drinks to the entree, everything was tasty and portioned well although slightly on the pricier side. One cocktail, fruit drink, arepa small dish, ceviche mixto, and entree came out to $100 after tip.“
“I have been coming here for the last 2 years and there hasn’t been a better service than Kathy she is more than welcoming, Kathy has been more than welcoming and up to service. I can rate her the best employee here, the last 2 years. Sebastian has also provided nothing but the best customer service For three years. this place is the best not only in customer service but in all aspects. If you’re looking for good food, drinks & food this is the place to be.“
“The whole restaurant was awesome; my only dislike was my friend and I were there for the whole brunch experience. We got there at 3:45 and were only able to get appetizers because our waiter never notified us that the kitchen closed. Therefore we never got the main meal, the unlimited Sangria or the dessert. We enjoyed the vibe and ended staying to order dinner that began at 6:00. Only to get burgers; because we really had our hearts set on the brunch.“
“To begin with... it fills me with joy to have a Uruguayan Bakery near where I live, nothing better than having things that make you remember your beloved homeland. We come very often to eat here and buy takeaway. The cakes that I order are delicious, everyone is super satisfied and happy with the quality. The cream on the outside is always super sweet, but these cakes don't make you sick and make you want to continue eating more! Congratulations to the pastry chef who is a genius! Everything else we have bought is always fresh. The crumb sandwiches that you always worry are not going to be fresh, well here they are always delicious and fresh. Spectacular attention as always! Many thanks for everything!“
“I got there food right before the closing time and lemme tell you, it was SO SO GOOD!The flavors are amazing and the food's always piping hot and the portion was generous!I only discovered it through TooGoodToGo but now that I realized that this place is such a gem, I'd be coming back for more :) and help support local businesses.“
“Everything we had was absolutely delicious and so beautifully presented. The birria torta was incredible. The chicken sandwich was crispy and juicy in all the right ways. I loved the seasonal cocktails as well. Can't wait to come back and try brunch!“
“So far so good. I want to do brunch eventually, but the taco Thursday was awesome the tacos were big and filling, and the margaritas were good. Happy hr is also nice. A variety of drinks and very well made.. service is on point too. Will be back!“
“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!“
“We have gone there a few times, and EACH time we get great food that tastes so fresh and hot. Also, I’ve always noticed that every server, and other workers always SMILE when they attend to your table.My family enjoys eating at such a nice local eatery.“
“My party of three came in on a Saturday night and we got some delicious food! For our starter we got nachos and they were great! All the sauces//veggies added great flavors! Then we got The Mac’n Portobello and the BX cheesesteaks and they were both delicious!! All the food tasted great and filled us up. The workers were very welcoming and friendly. The only thing we didn’t love was the vibe. We kinda wish it was a little more cozy. Other than that we had a great experience and will be back!!Vegetarian options: The menu is vegan.Dietary restrictions: Healthier choices“
“Came across this place on IG from a reviewer and decided to head there and give it a try and I was very pleasantly surprised!!!! The food was absolutely amazing and well worth the trip from Brooklyn.. I am and will definitely be back here for the tacos, empanadas and fried pork. Wish they had rice and beans on the menu..“
“Food looks great for breakfast & lunch. We had breakfast which it was very good & tasty. There are different choices for lunch like carne guisada, pupusas, chicharron con yuca, empanadas, etc. coffee was strong & tasty .... The way we like it .Homefries, suny side up eggs, sausage & toast“
“We came on a Saturday for a college reunion. They had a live performer who kept a great ambiance. I tried one Spice Mango Daiquiri and ended up having three as it was so refreshing and flavorful. Definitely coming back. Recommended for groupsWheelchair accessibility: It’s on the first floor. Has a ramp by the entrance.“
“I came here after work with 2 friends and we originally only planned to have one happy hour drink and leave. We ended up staying for much longer as we had Sirce as our server. She was patient, efficient, and super accommodating. I will definitely be coming back when she’s here! The service was amazing and the drinks and food came out so quickly on a Thursday night.“
“Very good service, the girl who served me was very friendly, she was always attentive to me, she treated me very well, I loved her service, the order was prepared very quickly, they didn't make you wait so long and the food was very good by the way, the drink too very good, pina coladas recommended. I liked!!!Kid-friendliness: The place is good to go and share with the family, very safe.“
“I came here on a random late Saturday night with a friend looking for a spot to get a drink and maybe have some luck in finding a place still open to serve some appetizers. It was to our surprise that the kitchen was fully open after 10pm! My friend ordered the Salmon and I got the Ceasar salad which was very delicious, however, I regretted not ordering the mofongo. People that ordered around me had me craving it! The DJ was really good too; played old school music and currents ones. All the servers provided great customer service. What I liked the most was the crowd- it was almost empty and everyone was just living their best life dancing on their chairs and playing games. If you’re young and single looking for a place to meet people; I doubt this is the place. Everyone was in their late 30s and older hanging out after the brunch crowd went on their merry way. I will be going back again with more friends to enjoy good food, good drinks, and good company.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor and plenty of space“
“Absolutely fantastic, I've been meaning to come here for a year and finally did. Service was excellent, food was great, extremely quick, and very reasonably priced for LICTheir HH drink menu looked good too although I didn't partake“
“Came here to eat with the family and we had an awesome experience. The service was amazing! I didn’t get her name but our server was very attentive and hilarious. We all ordered a variety of food like arroz chaufa, salchipapa, jalea mixto and we were 100% satisfied. Definitely worth going back to !“
“It's the best Chorizo Steak in Jackson Heights.The attention is excellent.As always, the waitress named Sisi is fantastic giving the best service to customers.Delicious, abundant food at very good prices. Undoubtedly there you can eat the best Argentine Grill in all of Queens.“
“Great stop after seeing the Met Cloisters! We were looking for some good, local food on our NYC trip and this place did not disappoint. I enjoyed the Mix Mofongo and loved the flavor of the fried plantains with the Chicken, Pork, and Cheese toppings. The restaurant itself is very casual, with TVs showing broadcasts in Spanish, but the food was professionally presented and delicious.“
“Havana Restaurant consistently delivers an outstanding experience! The customer service is exceptional, the atmosphere is always inviting, and the food is consistently delicious. It’s one of my go-to spots for lunch meetings with clients. I want to commend Manager Brandon for his exceptional leadership, and the amazing staff for their exceptional service. Don’t miss their fantastic Freestyle Thursdays event! Highly impressed with the overall excellence.“
“Living in the neighborhood we always get quick delivery once the food is ordered on the phone. In my pictures its the $12 Beef Stew Plate featuring yellow rice, beef stew in gravy sauce w/ potatoes and a cup on the side with red beans. Myself and my 14 year old young man always splits this $12 plate as you can see in the video. Delicious“
“It's 2024 and this place is still a hit in my heart ❤️ ? ? I highly recommend coming to this beautiful establishment nestled in the heart of Spanish harlem on the east side. Come show some love to this Gem plus the best thing about this place besides the food, are the amazing people! It's such a vibe... love you ?“
“OUTSTANDING! The best service I’ve received at a restaurant in a VERY long time. Server Eliot was on point! Didn’t miss a beat, super attentive. Food was phenomenal! From appetizer to dessert, literally everything was superb. Wife had salmon with arroz chaufa and without exaggeration it was the best I’ve ever had (I’ve been to outrageous amounts of restaurants FYI). I had the churrasco with yuca mash which was also great ? Oh…I almost forgot….the drinks! Wow ?? I had to stop in order to not get drunk ? I am deeeeeeefinitely coming back. Thank you Coquito Blu…“
“Fluffy, buttery, slightly sweet Columbian pan de bono! Light, crispy, flakey croissant wrapped around perfectly cooked bacon, egg and cheese!Get here now! Everything is delicious! I used to eat here on my commute. Today I stopped by after driving all of Union Turnpike looking for breakfast. I'm so glad to see it still here. However, there is a for sale sign! Please support this business!“
