Great spot for some quality food along with amazing service. We came here for a happy hour but stayed for dinner as well since the drinks and appetizers were delicious. The music here is fun and the vibes are spot on. Wouldn’t hesitate to come back soon because this spot is worth it. Would highly recommend!
LOVED this restaurant. As soon as we walked in the host was warm and welcoming. He asked where we wanted to sit and we wanted a booth but then decided it was too close to the door on a cold rainy day. He understood completely and we were seated at another booth.
The service: amazing! The waitress was smiling and kind, she was more than willing to answer questions and did not rush us at all. The busboys too, I HATE having my empty plate sit in front of me forever when I am quite obviously finished (the food is so could have licked my plate clean, but that would be uncouth).
The drinks: I had a frozen mango margarita and it was delicious.
The Food: absolutely amazing. We had the guacamole of course, it was very good (a little nitpick, but too cold for my liking). We also ordered the sweet plantains for the table, yummy. The entrees were so so good and the portions are very generous, I am still full. I had the Carne Asada and it was mouthwatering good, and cooked to perfection. I usually eat dessert, but shockingly I just did not have the room for dessert, the dessert menu had extremely tempting choices but I just couldn't eat anymore.
The ambience: great, I love the decor. The tables and bar were nice. There was one extremely loud group, they may have been drunk, but who acts like that in public at 1:30 in the afternoon? Anyway, that is not the restaurants fault and I'm sure it was annoying to them as it was to us.
Short story: Again, I absolutely loved it. I was very happy to take a card and see that they have Desktop another restaurant in Hells Kitchen as I live on the Upper West Side. I will definitely be visiting that location and doing it soon. I just hope the host, the ambience and the food are just as good as this one.
Will definitely be coming back. Best tacos I’ve had anywhere in NY, drinks were really good too. The downside is that their happy hour is only if you’re seated at the bar, not convenient for guests of 3+
Stopped in for a quick lunch, it didn't disappoint. Had the octopus and chorizo tacos. Wow, what a flavor bomb! Chorizo and tortilla were crispy while the octopus was tender and savory. With the cilantro, cheese, and lime, it was just amazing. My only critique is that they were 3-bite tacos. Wish they were a smidge bigger. $15 for the tacos, $18.70 including tax and tip.
Came here for cinco de mayo, the music was good it was pretty crowded. Ordered the taco al pastor and they were the saddest looking tacos I’ve ever seen. Didn’t taste great which was surprising since this place has good reviews. The guac was good had to order two rounds since the tacos were so sad to eat. Wouldn’t come again, there’s better tacos in Astoria.
This establishment has been here for quite sometime and it never disappoints. Some of their menu items can be on the pricey end but nonetheless the food is delicious.
The decor is tasteful and accompanied with Latin/Hispanic music while you enjoy your meal and drink(s).
The waitress wasn’t as attentive and we couldn’t find her when we wanted more water or our bill. The food and beverage was pretty good. We hope to return to receive better service.
A community staple indeed. Establishment is rather large and can accommodate large parties of 6+
The food is exceptional, so big compliments to the back of house. The service is mediocre so this is a call to polish up the front of the house! The atmosphere is nice, although I wouldn’t consider it to be upscale as proclaimed. Great veggie options.
Excellent food, excellent atmosphere, excellent place, excellent service from everyone else, but our waiter was a disaster! Loose hair over the table taking our order, shuffling several papers while writing and, yes, of course! our order came all wrong, mixed and with things and ingredients we specially ask 3 times NOT put in the dish. A real pity.
