I met a friend for dinner. Since she is from Brooklyn and I was staying in Queens she suggested…read moreKandela. EXCELLENT CHOICE! There is a parking lot and if you are lucky you get a spot! The parking lot serves all the businesses in this collection of businesses. The entrance is gorgeous with a big Dia de Los Muertos mural as you enter. The person greeting me is very friendly. The entire restaurant is very clean and has ample seating. I was seated while I waited for my friend. I ordered a red wine sangria. It had a good amount of fruit in it, was perfectly chilled, and not too sweet. We each ordered fajitas. I ordered shrimp. I was able to sub flour tortillas for corn. The portion was so big I had enough for another meal. Everything came out together, perfectly hot, with sides of salsa and seasoned sour cream. There were also sides of rice, black beans, and cotija cheese. My friend has a non alcoholic Mojito. I also had a tamarind Jarritos soda. We each ordered a sweet. My friend had churros. They came with three flavors of dipping sauce. I ordered the house made flan. The custard was great! The caramel was burnt. I feel the prices are very reasonable considering this is NYC, and the cost of food now a days. If I am ever in the area again I will definitely return to try more of their extensive amazing menu!

Went for taco Tuesday and I can say I've had better flavorful tastier tacos. Maybe it Iwas an off…read moreday or because it was busy being taco Tuesday but my steak and chicken taco left nothing to be desired. Missed the mark on the seasoning & sauce as they were bland! My partner ordered the battered chicken cutlet and guess what?? No seasoning at all! We took it home and made chicken parm. Extremely disappointed. We look forward to going out having a good time with food and drinks and this was horrible. Not our 1st time coming here but always want to give businesses a second chance. They failed. Margaritas you can't go wrong. Kudos to others that find their food exceptional and delicious. Margaritas were good. Can't go wrong there. Music was also good just hard to hear and communicate but that doesn't bother me. My opinion Have a great day

If you're looking for a chaotic dining experience....this is not the place for you…read more If you're into lackluster wait service...skip this venue. If you want bland food...DO NOT COME HERE! After an appointment in the city, the Honey casually mentions he wants to have lunch here. Apparently, he discovered this neighborhood gem years ago when he worked in Queens. Uhh excuse me sir, you certainly have been holding out on me!! We walked in and were greeted promptly by Sophia who seated us. She returned shortly with a smile and asked if we wanted drinks? This part became easy once we opened the drink menu and saw Spicy Margaritas! That happens to be our thing. We started with the octopus and steamed clams appetizers. When I tell you that both of these dishes are bursting with incredible and delicious flavors! I suggest you save some of the warm bread they provide, to soak up the sauces. I was doing my happy dance, in between bites! My Linguini Com Frutos Do Mar entree' was bursting with fresh clams, mussels, shrimp and calamari. His Bacalhau Assado, with hot olive oil and garlic? Baybeee when I tell you delicious (chef's kiss)!! Okay..yes I left him enough to take some home...after I tried a "taste" or two! We finished with Pudim Flan and cappuccino for me. The smart and sophisticated vibe...attention to detail. With the friendly professional service gives this eatery a better than Manhattan feel. I also find the decor to be lovely. There is also a full bar on the other side of the dining area, accessible through a small door. The bar does have a separate outside entrance from the street as well. Now that I've found out about this place, I'm telling everyone! There is absolutely no excuse for you to not stop by for lunch, dinner or even drinks at the bar. Thank me later.....

Anywho the lamb chops were really good the mash was too but I need it to be more garlicky lol. I will be going to the actual restaurant in the near future to see what all they have to offer.

If you love a good marg without as much sweetness, I highly recommend ordering a Skinny Margarita here. The bartender did a spectacular job. All of our drinks were quite strong and very delicious. We had Corn Nuggets as an appetizer. The nuggets were crispy and came with a lovely dipping sauce. The portion was great for 2 people (who aren't super hungry). Given the nuggets were only like $7, I'd say that's a pretty great deal. I also ordered the Tofu Poke Bowl. The tofu in the bowl was the perfect texture (not mushy) and was cooked in a delightfully sweet teriyaki sauce. I would 100% order it again. I couldn't have asked for a better post-beach meal. Con: they only have one bathroom. The line was insane. Other than that, 10 out of 10 would recommend!
