“It the best Mexican food I ever eat.“

“Great food. I love the agua de sandia.“

“We really enjoyed our dinner here - tried cheese quesadilla w/ fries, avocado & mango salad with grilled shrimp, chicken burrito, calamari, tacos, horchata, passion fruit aqua fresca. All of it was great! Excellent service! Fun decor! Would eat there again.“

“We ordered burritos from Hot Peppers for our youth event, and everyone loved them!
🌯The burrito was delicious, and the staff was super friendly and helpful.
Everyone was so happy with the food, and everything was great!
Highly recommend Hot Peppers for catering. We’ll definitely be back.“

“We came for a very special dinner and it was the best choice we could have made. The atmosphere was amazing, the food was tasty and super nice in temp, the service was so accommodating and friendly; they even let us watch the subway series game in the midst of the open. I can’t wait to come back again and bring some friends!“

“The staff are welcoming and kind, they went above and beyond for my daughter and I. Definitely a place I would return to and recommend to others.“

“the service was exceptional from start to finish. The staff was attentive and made us feel really welcomed. The food was fresh and full of flavor, especially the shrimp cocktail, which was truly amazing. And the Taco Tuesday combo? Just perfect. A great experience. At Khalo Cantina, the cocktails were on point too, mixed just right and really complementing the meal perfectly.

Cheers to Stephania & Giselle“

“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…😉😋👏🫶‼️“

“My go to birria spot!! Found it here at 36th ave near my school. A family run restaurant with a variety of authentic Mexican foods that are fairly cheap compared to other spots. The atmosphere is subtle and comforting; cleanliness is not bad— but also not perfect. The service is very nice and the food is always made fresh. A nice hidden-in-the-wall type of spot.“

“Incredible pillow soft tortillas and very richly flavored enchiladas. Really great food. Played a violent action movie at high volume over very quiet but great background music, brought out food in takeout containers, seems like eat in service is an afterthought, which is too bad because the decor is very pleasant.“

“So glad I stopped in here for lunch— I'll be back soon! It's truly a hidden gem. We had a milanesa torta and the quesabirria and both work phenomenal... Truly authentic flavors which is hard to find with Mexican food in the city.

It was quiet in there on a Saturday afternoon, but the atmosphere was welcoming. Our waiter was also the bartender and chef and, presumably, owner.“

“We ate there today and it was delicious!! We would definitely go back there again!! Thank you for the delicious food and fun we had!! Kathy“

“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 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)“

“my 1st time I ordered to go and I was amazed, tacos were thick so today I decided to dine in and unfortunately I found out there was no mole or pozole in their menu 😔 waiter requested my C19 card but he had no mask on ... anyways Food is good“

“I’ve had most of the menu, it’s all fantastic. Worth traveling for!“

“Decent taco truck near the waterfront. Open relatively late for this area, closing at midnight. Authentic staff and lots of Hispanic clientele as well. They take cash or card/tap payment which is great.

I find the Habanero salsa they have to be less spicy than a serrano pepper. Have only tried the tacos - al pastor is the best quality, followed by steak (asada) and then chorizo. They also have a very fresh although bare bones guac. Love the service here, they're very friendly.“

“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.“

“Food is in a relaxed spacious area. Lots of seating. Ordered 3 sandwiches and all were fresh and tasty. They sell Tea too (yes British!), so happy with that. The staff are friendly and polite, and the prices are very reasonable. Would happily visit again.“

“Such a great place, deli is full variety like a supermarket and it has many Mexican products even piñatasI was surprised they have a table and full Mexican food menu in the back. They have beers and sodas and feels like a full service restaurant. Employees are nice and friendly too and the place feels clean.The tortas and chalupas I bought were fresh and the salsa spicy“

“I discovered this restaurant with my sister months ago. I have been back there many times. The food is very good I would recommend the birria tacos 100% they’re always really good. Also the horchata and the cecina tacos. The service is good too the staff are very friendly. Good vibes overall.“

“Best mexican food in astoria ! Try the chicken in chipotle cream is outstanding !“

“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?“

“excelent colombian food thanks“

“Good food with Vegetarian options and fun decor! Close to Gantry Park“

“Food and Service is the same compared to every other deli.

But during hot weather i often hopped in for a cold soda.
They have a large selection of cold soda’s.

Damn i miss Snapple here in europe.“
