The food is delicious! One thing though, they should mention when booking or on their site that if you have more than 4 people for their bottomless brunch deal - you have to make your own tacos. There was plenty of food but it was a bit confusing as everything came out piece meal and some of the toppings didn't show up until the end of the meal. The live music and vibes were great though!
The staff were very nice and helpful, though the atmosphere was more upbeat than we expected.
Everything - the food and cocktails - was great; the coca cola carnitas tacos were DELICIOUS.
Very slow service, our server barely checked on us and never refilled our water even when asked. The table next to us waited for dessert for over 30 minutes. The food is good but you need to add more servers to the floor.
I loved the ambiance. The service was great. The food was delicious and the band was amazing. Christmas Eve dinner at Citrico was top notch. I've come here many times and they never disappoint. Always a fun time.
The waiting for food took forever, the dj music was to loud. Nothing but instrumentals songs no voice. Whatever you do don't order corn ribs. It smells like cheddar cheesie feet. Taco was small. The plates was tinny.
An excellent brunch experience. The food, the drinks, the service, and the DJ, amazing. It’s also a beautiful restaurant. Will be coming back for sure!

We celebrated my son's 21st birthday at Citrico. The food and ambiance are perfect, and they make excellent drinks! The DJ played a fantastic mix of music which added to the experience. The decor is splendid and gets refreshed every time I visit (I've been here four times). Oh and you come dressed fancy or casual, everyone blends here.
My friend and i arrived in the afternoon. Empty. Waiter sat us at an awkward corner table. Since it was completely empty we moved to a 4 seat table. The waitress comes back and asked if we are waiting for someone else. I reply “no, we wanted to move over because it was too tight at the 2 seater” She replied “ okay well if a party of 4 comes I’ll have to move you”. Mind you again it was empty! Very unnecessary comment & terrible energy. Wouldn’t come again. 👎🏻

I have been coming to Citrico for 3 years now and I have never left the place without a smile in my face. Everyone is absolutely fantastic! Big shoutouts to Andrea, Paula, and Diego, always making my parents and I feel welcomed. Will continue to recommend this place to everyone I know; keep up the good work Citrico staff !

Really solid Mexican food, primarily featuring tacos. The nachos are a huge portion and perfect for sharing with barely any naked chips. I really enjoyed the corn ribs appetizer. The carnitas tacos were refreshing and tasty with an excellent soft shell.

High end Mexican Tulum style experience in the heart of queens New York. Every dish was incredibly flavorful and delicious. Definitely recommend such a hidden gem.

I had an amazing experience here last night. The ambience was cozy and perfect for a relaxing Sunday. I’m 7.5 months pregnant, and I really appreciated the full mocktail menu — it made me feel included and taken care of, which is rare and so thoughtful.
The food was excellent. I especially loved the corn ribs, flautas de pollo, the queso birria taco, and the Coca-Cola carnitas taco — everything was flavorful and well-prepared.
I’ll definitely be coming back regularly!

We came on Sunday morning with family. They gave us a table — we were three people and spent around $400, plus we tipped well. Then they kicked us out because the table was supposedly reserved for someone else later on. They moved us to the bar, where we ended up waiting for a long time, and we had to rush through our dirty martinis before being asked to leave again. The pregnant waitress was wonderful, but the manager returned our tip just to get us out. Overall, it was a terrible experience.
