“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.“
“Good vibe, the Tlalpeno Rojo soup is brilliant. The hot figs are a treat to share. Loco corn is also good. Chicken sandwiches are not their specialty. Delicious volcanic hot sauce. Neat weird variety of hot chocolates you can grab to go for a park stroll on a cold day.“
“We order one appetizer and 3 main dishes for 2 adults and 2 kids. The tamal limeño appetizer was very good to start the night. It was very tasteful. The main dishes, the ceviche mixto was excelent! Very refreshing, the ceviche had octopus, shrimp, calamari and fish. The second dish, The camarones cuzco in yellow aji sauce was spectacular too. The third dish piqueo pacifico, was a set of 4 ceviches was also very refreshing and tasteful.“
“chicken empanadas to start were out of this world! lobster soup and steak were so tasty steak cooked to perfection! staff amazing, so friendly and welcoming especially when they found out we are from Scotland! chatted with lady behind bar, sorry cant remember your name who has visited Scotland many times! fab!“
“I recently attended a dinner in one of the private dining spaces and it was absolutely fantastic! The dining space was formerly a law office and it had a very intimate, homey feel. The staff at Comodo made the night very special, from the impeccable service to the thoughtfully curated menu.“
“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.“
“Nice cozy place to go with someone. Lots of classics on the menu. If you’re a fan of Argentinian food you will notice a lot of overlap, although this may be a controversial statement. The Provoleta was really satisfying and the Chivito was as I was expecting.“
“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.“

“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..“
“Was the perfect plan for Christmas Eve. The cocktails was amazing, the services was amazing, Alex was really nice!! We can see that they take care of every little detail in the food and drinks presentation and it was absolutely good, the music, the environment- Just perfect. I really don’t understand the reviews that says the opposite this place is 1000“
“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!“
“We were walking through Central Park and decided to stop at a random place for a beer and restroom and found this gem. The beer was great, the cocktails were great, the sangria was great, and the service was phenomenal- warm, welcoming, and generous. We'll definitely be back for rhe food later, everything passing by us looked delicious“
“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!!“
“Comida Buenisima... Lo único tienes que pedir los platos iguales como estan en la carta... Eramos 4 y nos cobraron 5 platos... Deberian de cambiar esto no todas las personas pueden comer el plato exacto como lo tienen... ppr un mofongo aparte nos cobraron el plato del mofongo completo...“
“Hello fellow restauranteur, this review is about to dive into the reasons I have to believe that Colonia Verde is a caliber above all else. Yes, that’s right. Bold statement alert: best restaurant in Brooklyn? I think yes. Slay-standing service, molecular energy, rustic atmosphere (vibe) inviting romance, all traits they have, yet aren’t what’s important here. What’s important is the perfectly thought out the menu, cohesive flavors and flawless execution from the chefs. Thank you for the premier experience. Rock On??“
“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.“
“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.“
“Last night, my family and I had take out from Casa Adela. They were so satisfied with their meals that they got nostalgic. They reminisced about my deceased grandmother’s food. A few of them had tears in their eyes as they enjoyed their meals. I can’t help but think Casa Adela’s food is a masterpiece that evokes intense emotions and beautiful memories ? ¡Gracias y buen provecho a todos!“

“Amazing food. Just simply amazing. Bewitching even. Came here on a Tuesday night (not exactly a going out night) and pretty early too around 6:30 or so. Ordered seafood and the name sake of the restaurant: The Octopus. What arrived was an obscenity of deliciousness. Tentacle was very large with garnish of the Parsnip Puree. It was incredibly soft and tasty. Our server Alejandra was was great and very knowledgeable and made suggestions that were right on point. Guacamole, Lobster Taquitos, Ceviche, my god those were delicious! But the key was the namesake of the restaurant. Octopus was not just delicious it was obscenely so! Cocktails were great even though I don't particularly like them (I think that straight up drink is better). And then to top it all off were the Churros. Best ones I've had since Spain and they were missing the melted chocolate (that might be a great idea).One thing though I didn't count on were the musicians. They just add so much to the ambiance of the place, so if you visit make sure you have some cash on hand. You probably will need it.“
“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!“
“‘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??!“
“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!“
“I think this place must have completely changed their menu, because it was absolutely not Cuban, except for an empanada appetizer and plantain sides. It was expensive New American. The description and images are wrong. Look at the latest menu before deciding to go here.“
“The food was amazing! Great mix of Latin cuisine with unique flavors and fresh ingredients. The service was excellent, friendly staff. I was with my dog and it was easy to get a table outdoors.We ordered the pre-fixed menu for two: great amount of food worth the money. I loved the rice with chicken, the tuna tart and the churros were awesome, the chocolate was delicious.The music and atmosphere was great. I’ll definitely come back.“
“So good. Enough vegan and gluten free options for our whole group to enjoy. We ate here two days in a row!Vegetarian options: Four or five vegan empanadas on the menu to choose from.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and gluten free options! Plant based fillings in both corn and wheat empanadas, and corn based empanadas for gluten free. So yummy!“
“Mia was great first time coming to this spot and I enjoyed it, the mimosa was hitting ! Definitely a spot to come back tooVegetarian options: Good options for all food choicesParking: Weekend parking will be perfect or you can get on the meter“
“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 !!????❤️“
“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 :)“
“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.“
“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!!!“
“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!“
“We held the rehearsal dinner for my son's wedding at Palo Santo on 3/15/2024. The food, service, and ambiance were all amazing. Everyone in attendance raved about this place. Even though we had never been here before, the staff at Palo Santo made planning this event from Texas a piece of cake. We cannot recommend Palo Santo more highly.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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!“
“Our favorite place for dinner!!! Ate there three times in four days! The plates and bowls were incredible. Shrimp. Chicken. Avocado. Coconut rice. And the sweet plantains!!! Nicest hostess ever — Catalina is a ray of sunshine! Makes us sad to return to Indiana.“
“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!“
“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.“
“Incredibly tasty for how cheap it was. Really really happy to have found this place. Highly recommend the chimichurri steak sandwich, and the cubano was quality as well!Really can’t beat it, especially in this neighborhood. Ice cold corona!!!!!“
“Last night I had the ABSOLUTE BEST MEAL OF MY LIFE at this restaurant! Every bite was pure bliss! I would love to give specific recommendations, but I don't think you can go wrong here! By far and away, this is now my favorite restaurant in all of New York!“
“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!“
“Laundromat Fulgurances is a culinary adventure playground. The rotating chefs bring a diverse range of flavors and techniques to the table, ensuring a one-of-a-kind dining experience every time. The service is warm and friendly, and the wine list offers something for everyone. This is a true gem of a restaurant!“
“This is a classic Dominican spot in the LES. I’ve been here on multiple occasions and the food is always on point. I got me the El Dominicano Sandwich and it was amazing. The bread was good. I like how they had the maduros in the sandwich. The queso frito added that salty cheesy taste. Pickled onions added that pickly taste and the sauce topped it off. Great sandwich. The pork was tough when I had it but I still enjoyed the sandwich and would definitely come back. @jefeeatsss“
“Walked in for the first time today, and let me tell you the food options are great. I was treated with a smile and the staff was kind in explaining the portions , prices and food options. I took my order (Ox tail and arroz con gandules) to go. But once I got home and took that first bite (Aww Mann), I instantly knew this was only the beginning of many more food orders to come.As of now I highly recommend this place.Note: this is more of a takeout spot as they only have 2 tables.“
