I don’t really leave reviews but I don’t want anyone to go in to this restaurant not knowing what to expect. To be fairly honest and transparent I do not and will not recommend this place for nothing more than the drinks…. The food was very mid. All the food options on the menu are not filling. There’s not alot of options to chose from either. The skirt steak platter was 32$ and when we received our food it consisted of rice, beans that tasted very weird it had something inside we weren’t sure of, guac (JUST TO CLARIFY THE RICE, BEANS AND GUAC WERE ALL about a TEASPOON SIZE PORTION) and a decent size skirt steak… The best thing on that plate was the skirt steak and guac. The drinks was definitely a 10/10. The waiter was kind of forceful when placing orders. Two of my friends kept expressing they didn’t want guacamole and he kept saying it tasted better with it. Not once did he ask if there was a reason like maybe an allergy or if they just didn’t want the guac. It came off as he was just trying to sell the food. My friends ordered the salmon appetizer and not once did he inform them that it was going to be raw salmon. We saw it was raw when the order came out. The waiter never asked if we had allergies like most restaurants, also never helped with explaining exactly what we will be receiving. He also wasn’t very accommodating either. The restaurant was completely empty when we walked in. The pros were that we were seated immediately, and helped. Our bill came out to 317$ which was definitely not worth that price at all since we didn’t enjoy the food. Our plates were never empty except For the empanadas (which were pretty good), but only comes in two and are also very small (17$). We regret going here we just paid, and left. I feel as though they can do better with serving size. Their prices are high and the food portion is enough for a 2 year old. I also think they can improve more on flavor…. Otherwise the service was not bad….. again I will only recommend for drinks not food. We highly regret going for food especially with the amount we were given. We didn’t even leave full, we ended up going somewhere else two doors down for finger food..

I went on Friday and it was just ok. The server was very nice but it seemed like he was the only person working there. I did not see one other person working. Started to think he went back there and cooked the food himself too because it took a while to get to us. I ordered the Sea Bass and it was not worth $30. Aesthetically it’s cute.Seems like it just opened.

Definitely my favorite restaurant for Mexican food. Traditional, with a touch of modern flavors. This restaurant is connected with it's roots and values of warmth, family, community, fun, and exceptional taste. The service has always been so welcoming and kind. From the owner, the waiters, and bartenders. I have tried many dishes and I keep coming back. The taste is truly one of a kind, not too little.. not too much. Simply perfect. Please support this business and give it a visit -- you absolutely won't regret it.

It was okay food. The menu wasn’t updated when I went and the food i received was totally different. I got the branzino and it was just weird. Drinks and service were great.

I randomly came in here with a friend after the first place we went to didn't have AC ! Walked out & saw this place a couple blocks down. It's a heat wave !! NYC is on fire, and still this place AC wasn't high enough in my opinion. We stayed for a couple of drinks "happy hour" Which wasn't really happy hour prices because my margarita was $11 lol The beer was $5. Absolutely nothing for vegans so I just had guacamole which was good ($12)This place is cute, and service was nice ! Spent $67.00 on 3 margs, 1 Heni, & 2 guacs ... Enjoy

WOW! An upscale food experience. The enchiladas and tacos were PERFECT. And at a lower price than most Hispanic restaurants in the area. This is definitely going on my favorites list. Not coming here sooner was a mistake.
We had 4 items off of a petite, curated menu, and they were all great. Don’t miss the margaritas or the mole! This place is a hidden gem.

Walked in on a hot august night and there was no ac on the inside and a bit of a smell when you walk in. The service was amazing the waiter was super attentive and prices were reasonable..two entres, an app and 2 drinks $90 with tip.The shrimp tacos were amazing the enchiladas were so salty I had trouble sleeping. I shouldn't have kept eating all that salt but I was so hungry I just wolfed it down. I think there are better places in Astoria where you can spend $90 and have better food with ac.

Overall rating: 4.4I’ve had this place on my “want to try” list for awhile. I was very excited to finally be in the area & try it out.I was initially a bit anxious there wouldn’t be a table available, but there was barely anyone there when I went around 6:30 on a Friday.I really like the vibe and the location, but the seasoning wasn’t doing it for me. I needed some salt and pepper in my guac and a lot of hot sauce in my tacos. I didn’t get alcohol, but got mango agua Fresca which was good. I’ve never had this type of drink before so I was expecting a bit more mango.For Queens, I was expecting good quality for a reasonable price. No, I paid ~$50 with tip & I didn’t even drink alcohol. I’m a bit jaded not going to lie. Maybe other dishes have more flavorful seasoning, but this place isn’t for me.
