Cielito Restaurant Astoria NYC

Not sure why it's labeled as open on Google maps because the business is closed. Like windows boarded up closed. Their website shouldn't allow you to make an rsvp that gets approved just to arrive and there is no business.

Continuing to try out new spots to eat in the neighborhood. Since we had the pup, we took the outdoor seating. Great atmosphere. Shielded by bushes from the sidewalk. The steak nachos were superb. Every bite was flavorful at the same time unique. Best way to describe it was I cleaned the plate. Paired with two glasses of the white sangria.
Service was very attentive almost white glove. Cleaned the table after each course. New napkins, took the old. Water always half full.
Birrio tacos for me. Chicken quesidilla for the lady w/ salsa verde.
Besides being very wet. Both were delicious.

Random Sunday night date night. I been wanting to try this place.
The nachos and white sangria was realllly good. Couldn't stop sipping it and I'm not even a drinker. One glass got me wavy too. The waiter was attentive and friendly. Nachos were super good.
So I ordered the chicken tikka quesadilla. That item is no longer served and they need to update their menu. I really wanted a quesadilla and I asked if there's other types of sauces they can put with the chicken he said some sort of red or green sauce. I opted for green. It was good but very wettish chicken, very mushed and almost puréed. It was alright but ate it anyway.
The birria taco that bae had was really good. That's what I should get next time.
Nice vibes all around. We sat outside and enjoyed the seats we chose.

The food and drinks were really great. The atmosphere and vibe was nothing like we expected on a Saturday night.
Definitely doesnt look like the pictures its more of a relaxed chill place.

It's funny that I lived next door for years and never went to see it and now that I live in another state I had the pleasure of finally meeting it and my friends and I, we were very pleased with how the drinks are so tasty and the ones that come with a popsicle are the most delicious. I highly recommend the drink named after the place accompanied by a coconut popsicle and not to mention the service which is very friendly. And the food was super decent, especially the esquites. So good experience overall!!

This place is cool. Staff is awesome and super friendly. As a solo diner, I found the music a bit too loud (can’t call my friends). Would have really liked to sit at a bar rather than a table (again, solo diner, I like to chat with bartenders & other barflies). My small tacos plate was perfect for me - I like smaller portions as I’m kind of a Hobbit - and I eat breakfast & lunch too. So I regard dinner as a substantial snack. This was kind of like Mexican tapas. Perfect. Except… the Carne Asada was a bit gristly…!!! Just a pet peeve of mine. Great staff - stiff drinks. Gracias!

I went there today 6/22/2024. I am regular a customer and was in love with this place and invited friends from out of town to try it since I would come here all the time until today I will no longer come back. They have new management & changed their menu. Was very dissappointed at all the food portions. The birria tacos order was giving kids menu. Most of the plates are kids menu portion & prices are crazy. The food is delicious it was the portions I was upset about. I loved going there because the portions were big so it was worth the price. My bill was over 100 & they used to offer free shots on the house did not receive any today. So was overall embarrassed with my friends for bringing them here from out of town to be disappointed with this new management.
