It's very rare to find the level of Mexican authenticity you find here. Astoria stay with the juice.
My wife and I got 2 drinks, nachos appetizer, shrimp tacos w/ rice n beans and pernil flautas.
My Flautas De Pernil was super flavorful and tender pernil rolled up in crispy tortillas with chile de arbol mayo, guacamole, radish, queso fresco. Excellent dish. Well plated. Even tasted delicious when I heated 2 of the flautas up at midnight.
Wife said the tacos were amazing, but did not taste as great as my flautas when she had the one she saved at work the next day.
Superb sleeper: Rice and beans were the side dish that sold me. As soon as I had 1 bite I could tell this food was made with love or by somebody's abuela.
Got the Hibiscus margaritas as drinks. They were strong and delicious. I ask for nothing more in a drink. The Modelo i got next came with a nice glass. Classy joint.
I love, love, love this place!! I've gone so many times, I think I've almost had everything on their regular menu. The mole chicken is rich, flavorful and reminds me of my mom's. Great place for a home cooked kind of meal, but also great for tacos. Try the poblano and corn tacos with crema! Start with chips and salsa and a La Pachanga margarita with hibiscus syrup.

Hands down the best guacamole in Astoria, the food is great no matter what you order...
Excellent and authentic cuisine and great service. Cocktails were great and creative. Menu rotates regularly. Quaint and fun atmosphere. Highly recommend the guacamole, street corn, taco, and more. Great spot for just a cocktail or a group meal. Easy to see from the street. There is bar seating, high tops, and regular table seating.
Bartenders and owner are really nice. Cute quaint and hip atmosphere with backdoor seating. They have happy hour which I missed. Tried their steak tacos with pineapples which were great, I'm not a big eater but 3 left me satisfied.
Consistently delicious food and drinks. The only bad thing is that the kitchen does not accept any food modifications. Bummer
This is a great place to take someone for drinks of a tasty bite. They have a stellar cocktail list (although if tequila isn't your favorite, like me, then I'd avoid it) and a small but interesting tap line. The food is PHENOMENAL. I had the roasted pork belly and it was perfection. The moo shu duck tacos are also great. The portions are small so I wouldn't go here for a "dinner" but it would be a great place to stop in to on the way home or bring friends who are visiting from out of town. I'll definitely be coming back.
A gem of a place! Went there for a birthday brunch. My party of 10 was late for our reservation but they held table for us. Service was very friendly and attentive. One guest's order was missed, but waitstaff got it to the table ASAP when we alerted them. Even got a gratis slice of cake and candle for birthday girl (moi) w/o asking. Highly recommend their Veggie Jenga (and I'm a hardcore carnivore, so that's saying something!). The selection of assorted salsas is also great!
The food is amazing and totally recommend this spot! My partner and I went on Valentine’s day and the place was very busy, but we noticed there was only one server attending to all the customers. This unfortunately resulted in us waiting an hour and a half for our food. I encourage the owner to seriously think about hiring more staff as it is the only demerit I have against the establishment.
We went here when it first opened, and it was a great temporary fix for the Tex-Mex craving. I do try to go before the dinner crowd hits, as the food quality does go down just a tad when it is too busy (and believe me.. it gets BUSY!).
I am a little sad it is not quite gluten-free, but it tastes so good, I eat it anyway and suffer later!
