“Came by for Sunday brunch. Welcomed and seated by a hostess at the bar with a smile. I recognized the bartender/ server - Diego, from my past visit and so did he. A friendly guy with smiles who walked me thru his fav’s - which I asked for. I thoroughly enjoyed my mocktail, Tiradito de Tuna, shrimp ceviche, corn ribs, fish tacos and Tres leches…😋🫶‼️Great energy in the room with live DJ. This place wins for its “presentation” of any dish with flavors! Great food and friendly staff. This is my nth visit and will frequent it. Ty for making my day off…😉😋👏🫶‼️“

“Whether you dine-in or order delivery, the food is amazing! Very rare to see authentic hand-made blue corn tortillas in NY. Everything is fresh and delicious. I can’t decide if I like the Tacos or the Quesadilla more! The sauce is actually spicy, and they use queso Oaxaca on their quesadillas which was a +++ for me!!

The environment is very welcoming and staff are very friendly. If you’re looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant, come here! 😋“

“Such a hidden gem in Astoria! This cozy restaurant is tucked away on a quiet street, and I’m so glad I discovered it. The menu is a really unique and delicious mix of Mexican-American and Italian dishes, all made with so much care and flavor. You can truly taste the love in the food.

The atmosphere is calm, welcoming, and intimate perfect for a relaxed meal away from the noise of busier areas. On top of that, the owner is incredibly friendly, funny, and genuinely kind. He makes you feel right at home and is an amazing cook.

I honestly wish more people knew about this place because it deserves so much attention. If you’re in Astoria and looking for something special, this spot is absolutely worth checking out.“

“I grabbed the quesadilla and it was fenomenal. I chose chicken as the meat and it was flavorful, juicy, and some of the best I’ve had. A lot of flavor and ingredients packed into one quesadilla. It’s not the standard picture of what a quesadilla may look like but was much more flavorful so I did not mind. As someone who grew up in the Latino culture this is very authentic! The workers were very friendly and got my order perfectly even after I changed a few ingredients. 10/10 would recommend. (I went back for seconds)“

“I went here and ordered nachos which consisted of homemade tortilla chips, melted with cheese, in a bed of black beans puree, topped with crema, guacamole and pico de gallo (and shrimps=one of the options to choose from) and I really loved it. I am back in the Netherlands after a visit to New York and still thinking about it. Thank you so much for this lovely culinary experience.“

“Cozy Bodega with the most badass authentic tacos! Hail Mary twenty-times over for this spot!
This cozy little spot has everything Mexican, Viva Mexico!
Family owned and run business, absolutely adorable spot. I highly recommend this as one of my Top Ten Bodegas for Munchies and Comfort food.
Best advice—take out or delivery. They used to have a chair or bench outside, not sure but if you walk down a couple blocks there’s a park where you can enjoy the sunset with a delicious taco. 🌮“

I have to mention that i went back to get food last week and the man who was taking orders don't speak English and it was difficult to communicate with him, the loud music make it even worse I think, the man was drunk. The service is usually outstanding just that day it was a horrible experience.“

“I tried their Birria Tacos and they have the best in the area. A couple dollars more than what you get charged elsewhere but it's so worth it because the taco never falls apart, which can be hard with Birria. The flavor, service, and overall quickness is why i always come to these guys. Where else could you get birria at 3am?“
