Great space, location, and service! Food was decent but smaller portions than you’d expect for the price. We got the guac app and tacos for main. Will try it again and update review as we learn more!

Definitely a frequent diner here — the food is consistently delicious! The margaritas are fantastic, and the Birria tacos are hands-down the best in the area. I especially want to highlight the bartender, Carlos — he's always polite, attentive, and incredibly accommodating.
However, I’ve had a repeated negative experience with one particular server. He tends to be rude, inattentive, and often forgets orders. When asked politely for a reminder, he responds with eye rolls and visible frustration. Recently, I witnessed him treat another guest very poorly — she had to go to the bar to request a drink he kept forgetting, and his response was completely unprofessional: “The drink was drank, wasn’t it?” before tossing the check at her and sarcastically threatening to charge her for extra cheese next time. It was uncomfortable to watch and totally inappropriate.
Aside from this one staff member, the rest of the team is great, and the food (aside from the beans, which I personally find unpleasant) keeps me coming back. I’ll continue to visit, but will stick to sitting at the bar to ensure a better experience.

What a gem! I stopped by Ay Chiuwawa in Astoria and was blown away. The place is super clean, the vibe is welcoming, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive from the moment I walked in.
I ordered the birria tacos and they were absolutely amazing — packed with flavor, cheesy, juicy, and just the right amount of heat. You can tell they put care into their food. Everything tasted fresh and authentic.
Highly recommend this spot if you’re in the area and craving delicious Mexican food. I’ll definitely be back!

Taco Tuesday is the best ! The carnitas tacos and the pastor tacos are the best. The mala madre cocktail is top, but the star of the house is the CHURRO RELLENO ! Felicidades !

I cannot fully say how much my partner and I loved this place. We came in, unsure of what to expect--we only knew we liked the vibe from the existing photos on Google--and we immediately knew we're about to have a great lunch. First sign of this was when we were poured water, the server quickly noticed our table was a little off-balanced and immediately got a wedge and squared it away.
From there on out the rest of the experience only got better: drinks were amazing and made with fresh ingredients, the guacamole honestly blew us away, and our meal (we both did camarones al mojo de ajo) was so savory and perfectly cooked. So many times restaurants overcook their shrimp, but these were perfect!
To finish, we shared a flan which was honestly one of the best flans my partner ever had, which is high praise coming from her--I could only say the same.
Looking forward to come back and try the other drinks and entrees, and she's already planning on reaching out to host her birthday there!
