Overpriced for what u get.The service at Casa Enrique was good—attentive, friendly, and professional. Unfortunately, the food and drinks didn't quite meet my expectations given the high prices.We had ribs and steak, which were decent but nothing extraordinary. The ceviche de pescado, however, tasted far from fresh, and both the margarita and paloma were weak and underwhelming.Considering the steep cost, I expected more in terms of quality and flavor. The staff was great, but if you're looking for good value and a memorable meal, I'd suggest looking elsewhere.

Go for the tacos here, especially their lengua. They are phenomenal and definitely something I’d go back for. The Mole main is pretty good too and it is on the heavier side. Tres Leches dessert is a sweet finish that I enjoyed.

Nice little spot in LIC with great food and drinks. I went for brunch and had the chilaquiles rojos con huevos for the main course, and it was incredible. The balance of flavors and spices were amazing. I also had the horchata espresso martini and a mezcal con piña for drinks, both of which were tasty and strong (but not overpowering). For dessert, we split some of the housemade cheese ice cream (recommended by our waitress) and tres leches cakes, both of which were amazing as well. It's definitely a spot worth checking out.

DO NOT COME HERE. CRIMINAL SERVICE - STAFF FORGOT TO SERVE A DISH AND TRIED TO GASLIGHT US INTO PAYING FOR IT ANYWAYSDecided to try this spot with my girlfriend after moving to Long Island City recently and hearing this spot was a reasonably priced Michelin Star (no longer in 2024) restaurant. Watched the Eater video beforehand and was excited to try a couple of items on the menu.Overall, the food was pretty mediocre. We got the Guacamole to start (5/10 - pretty standard, nothing special), Al Pastor Tacos (5/10 - Tasted fine but again, nothing to write home about. Relatively small and pricey for what you get), Chicken Mole Enchiladas (7/10 - Best dish we got. Mole was pretty tasty), Tres Leches Cake (4/10 - way too sweet). We shared a frozen strawberry margarita which was actually probably the best thing we got here (9/10)What brings this down to a 1/10 experience was the service. Overall, it seemed very disorganized. Our waitress was friendly when she came to take our order, but five minutes later a different waitress came to ask if we were ready to order. When we told her we already did, she looked confused and went to the machine for a couple minutes and seemed to be figuring it out with a coworker. Later when the taco and enchilada mains came out, the ceviché we had ordered was nowhere to be found. At this point, we didn’t bother to ask about it since we figured we had over ordered anyways and wouldn’t be able to finish (they can just take it off the bill). When the bill came out I was surprised to see the missing ceviché still on the bill. No problem. I called the waitress over and told her the ceviché never came out. What happened after was totally unacceptable. The waitress found her manager and gave her the bill. Instead of immediately apologizing and taking it off the bill, we sat in disbelief for over 5 minutes as the manager went downstairs and questioned the staff, and came back up to tell us the ceviche in fact had been made and served, essentially saying we lied. I told her we definitely never got the dish and we would be happy to talk to the runner who had brought us the food about it. Still not believing me, she then went downstairs to talk to her employees again before coming back and saying the staff were “unsure if they had served the ceviché to us” so she would take it off our bill. Even at that point, her attitude was accusatory and made us feel as though she thought we were trying to get out of paying for the meal.Casa Enriqué if you’re reading this review, shame on you. No wonder your Michelin star was taken away. This is no way to treat your customers. If you look at the pictures we took of the food tonight, there is NO CEVICHÉ TO BE FOUND anywhere on the small table we were given.

We were excited to bring family here hoping the brunch would be good given the popularity but it was really meh. Biggest issue was food that came out cold and felt like it might’ve been cooked and sitting for a while before it was brought out. Considering this happened with the meal with medium steak, that was a bit concerning. We are pretty sure they just microwaved the dish and brought it back out. The enchiladas were not good … perhaps we just don’t like mole and salsa verde sauce - can’t tell. Tacos were fine, but many places make fine tacos for a fraction of the price. The best part was the guacamole, which was priced like an entree.

Had a delicious long brunch today and loved every second! The food was absolutely delicious and so were the drinks. We started with frozen margaritas, I had watermelon he had mango. Then fresh guacamole with fresh made big chips. Amazing! For mains I had the huevos rancheros which were cooked perfectly. Loved it. For dessert I had the chocolate pudding and he had the tres leches cake which were both fantastic. The service was so wonderful. Can’t wait to go back!

We stopped by Casa Enrique for our anniversary trip to NY after seeing the Eater video. There is no words to describe how good and amazing the food was. We got Carnitas and Mole. Both had so much depth of flavor and exquisite taste. We are truly happy we made it out to Casa Enrique. The drinks were also amazing and flavorful. Ah, we also had the Pastel de 3 leches and coming from a family of bakers, the pastel had a great flavor and texture.

Really good carne asada tacos (5/5), brisket tacos (4.5/5)! The carne asada in the tacos was incredible - moist, flavorful, and very umami packed without being chewy. Really good. The brisket was great they have you a LOT for the filling. The mile enchiladas were okay (4/5) - the mole sauce was good but the chicken inside was very chewy.

Food: We had the ceviche, the fish tacos, and the mole. The ceviche was extremely small, 5 bites at most, for $24 it was not worth the price. The flavor was average, it was spicy and tangy but did not have any special flavors that made it stand out. The fish tacos $19, had deep fried mahi mahi pieces and a side of pureed avocado - nothing about these tacos stood out. Lastly, we had the mole (~$28) the dish included two pieces of chicken, a side of rice, and a side of tortillas. The mole flavors were good, and the entree size was acceptable. Overall I do not recommend this restaurant, the price is not worth the lack of special flavors or 'oomph' and the portion sizes are extremely small. I was disappointed!
