Everything came out quickly and was super fresh. We loved that there was a toppings bar for sauces, onions, pico de gallo, and radish. My favorite was the Birria mulita, which was super crispy and flavorful. It was of course the messiest to eat but it was worth it. The Birria empanada was super unique and crunchy. I enjoyed dipping this into the consume a lot. The tacos were also quite good as we loaded them up with sauces. Lastly the horchata was creamy, refreshing, and delicious.

Went there after an…read moreappointment around 2:30 PM on a weekday and they had a study stream of takeout & delivery workers going in and out. I actually wanted their combo ($12) taco platter (3 tacos, Rice, Refried beans), but the choices for the tacos were chicken, pork, beef. The other combo that looked interesting was a beef taco, chicken fajita, and something called a sincronizada (ham & cheese pressed between 2 taco shells), & rice & beans. But their iPad system didn't have that (even though the paper menus did). I probably could've just ordered it with the cashier. I got ($13 Total) two tacos, beef tongue & al pastor ($4.50 each) & a side of rice ($3). The portions were very generous, and the first few bites things tasted good but a few more and I noticed that everything lacked flavor. The beef tongue was the best item, there was a salty sear on one side, but the pieces weren't as tender as other restaurants'. Maybe it was frozen and he didn't have time to defrost it? The al Pastor was chopped up meat bits with NO flavor. The pineapple and onions were nicely, finely chopped, but I didn't even finish half of these tacos. The rice had peas, corn, carrots, and string beans & big fluffy grains. At first it was tasty, with maybe hints of bullion and tomatoes; but after a few bites, it started reminding me of cafeteria rice & had a bit too much oil. It seems like a popular place, a mom and her kid came in for tacos after school, local workers and contractors who seem to know the staff and delivery guys, came in for their lunch. Maybe I didn't order the right items, or these type of tacos are more popular on the weekend. I also wonder that since I'm not a local or of the background, there isn't as much care put into my food. One contractor yelled "China! [cheena!]" to the staff as he walked in. Was I supposed to respond "Mexicanos!" LOLZ. I hope they do well though they seem like a neighborhood staple.

Great place to eat 1 block walking distance from broadway train station. There are about 4 tables inside this "deli" like restaurant. Taste is great as well.

It's easy to miss & for me the name ("cafe") doesn't seem like large platters homestyle food, tacos, tamales, giant bowls of soup, many types of champurrado / atole de maiz. But EVERYTHING I've had so far here has been delicious & I want to go here with someone familiar with the cuisine because I'm sure that I'm missing out. The staff is very friendly. I think there's a few sons/cousins that are sometimes there & bring some of that young energy too. The wall menus are a bit hard to figure out & I think there's more options than they list. I saw a lot of people eating mole with rice & beans, and enchilada-type of hot plates, sizzling pieces of beef too, large bowls of soup. The steam tables are probably the best options for specials of the day - stewed chicken, different kinds of beans, etc. I should point & order next time. Have had: Suadero Tacos - melt-in-your-mouth tender beef (longer wait than other meats) Al Pastor Taco Pozole (soup): Red (slightly spicy) & White Versions. Comes with diced radish, lettuce, lime wedge, & tostada (I asked for 2). Red was better. White had a lot of pork belly fat-only chunks on the day that I went. (MUST like Mexican oregano with this soup recipe!) Champurrado: a hot corn flour drink with panela, cinnamon; other stuff. Could be a breakfast replacement. Horchata: just okay, realized that I like the Salvadorian version better. Might have had chicken tacos for a late first meal of the day & think was really delicious; but now a low-sugar memory Want to try: -Strawberry Atole (another hot corn flour drink recommended by the girl at a taqueria closer to me - where they don't make it) Overheard someone mentioning a Goat dish (maybe weekend only). Barbacoa Tacos anyone?! Chorizo Dorados sound awesome. Not sure what region/city honors are from, I wonder if they would ever make shrimp Baja-style Dorados (ie. LA Food Truck). Oh & def should try the Cafe de Olla (coffee with panela/cinnamon/spices) ... but bring my conchas from M-sa Madre Bakery. There's about 15 tables inside, family-friendly, solo workers eating lunch; Weekend couples, Grandpa bringing grandson for some soup. Cases filled with pan dulce up front also. The action figure collection on the front right wall is a super nice touch! To Yelp Reviewer who wrote that this place doesn't include avocado or guacamole with tacos: I don't think tacos normally come with avocado OR guacamole (depending on region & some places here probably add to appease Americans). $19 for FRESH 3-4 items (TONGUE!) is excellent.

Ironically, earlier while trying to decide where to go for dinner, I had sent this restaurant to my friend but we ended up going somewhere else and came here for drinks afterward. The drinks were really good! We tried the "Sexy Oaxaca," which consists of 7 Misterios Doba-Yej Mezcal, Cointreau, grilled pineapple, mint agave, fresh lemon, and warm salt. This drink takes your taste buds on a ride. It starts off light and refreshing with the mezcal throughout, then finishes with a smoky effect from the pineapple since it's lit. It was really good!! I also tried the "VIP Old Fashion," made with Patrón Extra Añejo, Nixta corn liqueur, Angostura, and orange bitters. This was also good and was smoked prior to being served, giving it a smoky aftertaste. It's definitely a drink you sip slowly. Although we arrived about an hour and a half before closing, the waiter was very polite and professional. They also didn't rush us out once it was closing time, which I appreciated.

Unlike their sister taco stands out where things were cheap and open late, this location featured an expanded menu, colorful decor, and even accepted credit cards. Unfortunately the experiment doesn't appear to have lasted long, as they closed up late last year / earlier this year. Like many stores along 36th Ave, the space was small but quaint. They were big on togo orders, but the handful of tables was just enough for a group lunch or intimate dinner. The vibe is a complete departure from their other locations, and one that this part of the neighborhood could have benefited from. While the location and storefront made them different from their stands, so too was the food. It wasn't bad but also was very on par with the sub-NY standard of Mexican fare. The breakfast plates felt average, enchiladas were very bland, and the tacos were not at all similar to their other spots. Seafood was also not their best showing, and their tortas and burritos were less than memorable.

The kitchen here doesn't shy away from traditional flavors--the food is unapologetically spicy and savory, avoiding the "overly sweet" profile that many Thai spots fall into. Here's the breakdown of what we tried: Tom Yum Goong: This was the star of the show. It had a sharp, clean heat and a perfect citrus punch without that syrupy finish you often find elsewhere. Crispy Pork Belly: Exactly what you want it to be. The skin was incredibly crunchy, and the meat remained tender, seasoned perfectly to highlight the savory pork flavor. Fried Fish: Deep-fried to perfection with a light, crispy exterior. The sauce paired chili and fish sauce with fresh mango. Crab Fried Rice: Generous with the crab meat and wonderfully "wok-hei" (charred) and salty. It wasn't bogged down by sweet soy sauce, allowing the delicate crab to shine. The only real sweetness of the night came from the Mango Sticky Rice, which was the perfect, cooling end to a very spicy meal. The mango was ripe and the coconut milk was rich, providing the only sugary reprieve of the evening. Service was so nice. The hostess and sever were so nice and friendly. The severer felt like a Thai uncle, he made jokes, gave us napkins, joked with my child. It felt so familial. If you want authentic, spicy Thai food that prioritizes salt, spice, and acid over sweetness, this is your spot.

I came here to celebrate my mom's birthday, so maybe that's why I'm extra disappointed because I…read morereally wanted this meal to be great. To start, the food wasn't bad. There were some things we enjoyed, but overall we left feeling that the quality and portions didn't justify the prices. We ordered the chicken curry puffs first. They were much sweeter than I'm used to, and instead of the traditional cucumber relish, they were served with plum sauce. It wasn't terrible, just not what I expected. The roti with Massaman curry had good flavor, but the curry was so thin that it had the consistency of soup rather than a rich curry. It also came without any potatoes, carrots, or onions. I wasn't expecting meat, but I did expect a more traditional Massaman curry. The grilled beef (nuea yang) was cooked well and very tender, but the beef itself was lacking seasoning. Thankfully, the dipping sauces added some flavor. The beef short rib khao soi was another dish that felt underwhelming. The short rib was excellent--fall-off-the-bone tender--but the curry broth itself tasted too light. I personally think it needed more curry paste and more depth of flavor, especially for a dish that's around $40. The biggest disappointment was the kua kling chicken and the Hat Yai fried chicken. Both portions were surprisingly small considering the price. That's where I really felt the value wasn't there. Unfortunately, the service didn't help either. It wasn't rude, but it felt inattentive and lacked the warmth and hospitality I usually associate with Thai restaurants. I always want to support fellow Thai-owned businesses, so writing this review honestly makes me sad. I'm not trying to discourage anyone from trying the restaurant--this is simply my family's experience. Everyone has different tastes, and yours may be completely different from ours. For us, though, the combination of light flavors, small portions, and lackluster service left us disappointed, especially for a birthday dinner.

Unfortunately, our experience at this restaurant was disappointing, to say the least. We brought a friend from out of town for brunch, expecting a pleasant meal, but it turned out to be almost embarrassing to have chosen this restaurant. The service was a major letdown. After waiting 45 minutes, we had to flag down our waitress to remind her that we still hadn't received our food. It finally arrived an hour after we ordered, which really soured the experience. While the hostess was kind enough to apologize and offer a free drink, it didn't make up for the lack of attention from our waitress, who only came to our table once in the hour and a half we were there. To be fair, the food was actually pretty good, but with such poor service, it was hard to fully appreciate it. If you're thinking about trying the unlimited mimosas deal, I'd be cautious--given our experience, I have concerns about how much you'll actually get for your money. On a positive note, they do have a lovely patio area, but unfortunately, it's not accessible-friendly. Overall, I can't recommend this restaurant based on our visit. There's potential, but they seriously need to improve their service. read more

I'm always open to hidden locations, but this hidden corner of Astoria is desolate and the place just seems to be hoping that there's nowhere else to go.

Marie S. & I came here after attending…read morethe "Inside the Industry: The Foodie Edition" Yelp Event @ Miami Ad School (NY), which is in the same area. We were both hungry & after walking over to Cielito & glancing at their menu, we decided to dine-in; it was an enjoyable experience. Cielito has cool decor. This includes uniquely - created "spirits-bottled" dining table lamps & vases, swing doors that lead you to the bathroom area, a colorful, vibrant wall mural near the bathroom, a nice bar area, etc. Great music played in the background. Marie had Nachos & raved about how good they were...She let me try some & yes, the nachos were delicious. I had a nicely-seasoned Chicken Quesadilla. Boy, was it good. We had fabulous White Wine Sangria Cocktails. She had a Mango Margarita & I had a Watermelon Margarita. The margaritas were served w/ a popsicle on top - both the cocktails & popsicles were refreshing. Cielito Staff are so kind. Great Customer Service. Fantastic Shots to end our evening of dining! Thanks Cielito! cielitony.com @cielitonyc Hours of Operation - Tues. - Thurs. - 3pm - 11pm Fri. - 3pm - Midnight Sat. - 11am - Midnight Sun. - 11am - 10pm Cielito has Brunch Service. I will return to try that & other things on the Dinner Menu.

This place was definitely a vibe. It was a nice spot. I loved the decor. Each table had a different…read moreliquor bottle turned into a lamp, which was a unique touch. I also loved the bathroom wall art representing Mexico. The drinks were great. I got the mango margarita with a popsicle, and I believe my first drink was sangria. I ordered nachos, and the portion was huge, they gave me so much that I had to take some home. The staff were very friendly and even gave us a shot before we left. I would definitely come back to this restaurant. The staff said Cinco de Mayo is a big hit, so maybe that's when I'll go back.

Food was amazing, staff was nice, and a great local bar to watch the games and eat good bites!…read more We went for the happy hour that was from 4-7pm Monday through Friday. Cocktails were made very well and the tacos were bomb! Highly recommend to anyone to check them out ^.^

Most of their listed "vegetarian" items are in fact fish. So either the person writing the menu…read moredoesn't understand the difference between vegetarian and pescatarian, or the restaurant doesn't care. Unfortunately, as someone who has food allergies (to not just shellfish), it's concerning that it's incorrectly listed, and makes me think they don't understand food allergies, cross contamination and dietary restrictions. It's honestly fine if they want to have a menu that is not vegetarian friendly, but food items should be labeled properly. We had to go somewhere else.

Mom's in Astoria was excellent for a delicious hearty brunch in a diner-style atmosphere…read more There are tables inside and under an awning on the sidewalk. They also have a temporary shed for the summer, for additional outdoor seating. For my meal, I had a pancake burrito, and it was better than I could have expected. The pancake was so fluffy and tasty, with a hint of crisp on the outside and a nice chewy texture overall. The savory components of the burrito worked surprisingly well with the pancake exterior, making for a medley of sweet, salty, and umami that went really well together in every bite. Our server was excellent, can't say enough about how good the brunch was. I definitely recommend this place!

My friend and I went to Moms's Kitchen in Astoria and everything was good. We had:…read more Starters: cheesesteak eggrolls, Entrees: the Mom burger and the short rib grilled cheese. Drinks: dad-mosa, red sangria, mango margarita and a passionfruit margarita. They cooked the bacon well done(crispy) the way it's suppose to be not that attempt to have it crispy( ifykyk). I wish the drinks were a little stronger but they were good nonetheless. The server was great. The place gave an old school save by the bell vibes very cute. They have happy hour starting at 3pm during the week. The bathrooms are clean. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We went on a Friday afternoon and it wasn't packed at all. Will def go back to try their desserts.

Learned about this place from coworker. this spot has that perfect "hidden gem" energy that makes…read moreyou look like you really know your way around the area. The presentation is there and the atmosphere seriously checks all the boxes especially for a date spot. The service is amazing considering the members of the bar know their stuff and take great care in preparing your drinks. I do wish to try their foods. They don't just pour a drink; they craft an experience. personally i love the "fire pure desire" and the "de tijel"

This is such a random location for such a nice cocktail bar. Formerly a sports bar (CJs, back when…read moreI lived on this block), the space has been transformed to feel like a high end cocktail bar. You'll forget that you're in Queens and feel like you're in Soho here, but without the pretentious attitudes. Service here was accommodating and friendly, and the prices were shockingly reasonable for the complexity of cocktails offered here. I had two of the Remy Style martini which were so fresh, delicious and fruity. The pineapple syrup in here definitely hit without it being too sweet. I saw that they had some small bites here but we were headed elsewhere for dinner. A solid spot to catch up with a friend or to impress a date, for sure. I really hope that this place sticks around!

Very overdue review from the Friday before NYC's (first) major snowstorm of the season. Came to…read morethis spot because a close friend (former NYC resident) was visiting after relocating to London. She was looking for a signature city diner and from the photos on Google figured this would fit the bill. However, when we actually got there in person, it turned out to be a swanky Colombian spot that was nothing like a diner except for the booths! When did this switch-up happen?? The food was pretty standard, except they originally brought over chicken empanadas though we ordered beef. When we mentioned it, the waitress brought some other ones (I think these were beef mixed with mashed potato?) and let us keep the original ones for free, so I'm adding an extra star for service!

Stopped in here for a quick bite before starting our day as the menu has a little bit of…read moreeverything, which makes it an easy spot whether you're craving breakfast food or a classic diner-style meal. Service was quick and friendly, which honestly was the highlight of the dining. The sandwiches we got were very dry and not good. The grilled chicken was so chewy it was almost inedible. Also, do not get the ranch it's not very good. Overall, the staff was incredible and I would definitely be open to coming back and trying something else next time
