I continue to come here as a repeat customer since I love the ambiance and the service is ALWAYS top notch! Great food and drinks are really good. I got steak fajitas on this particular visit and it did not disappoint. The meat was not fatty, very flavorful, and tasted great with all the toppings. Be aware if you do not like pets in restaurants, they considered the front inside portion of the restaurant to include the bar as part of the outside and acceptable. Only the back portion of the restaurant is pet free. I may people upset but I will continue to say it - I am a dog and pet lover, but they do not belong in restaurants! read more

Solid Mexican spot with cold beer, tasty queso, and great service. The food was consistently good across the board, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. Nothing overly complicated--just a reliable place for good Mexican food and drinks. I'd definitely come back again. read more

Great service, however the food is ok. Small portions and not as tasty. It's also pricey. 3 tacos for $18. It's also loud in this restaurant. Good for big groups of friends catching up read more

Great margaritas and fantastic fresh guacamole. We ordered the queso as an appetizer and it looked amazing, heat sizzling off, however the taste didn't live up to the sight. It didn't have much taste, it was very oily and hardened up quick. The guacamole with the chips were excellent. You can pick mild, medium, or spicy, we chose medium, it was so good that we ended up ordering another one. I wasn't a fan of the chicken tacos, they were simple and I didn't love the texture of the chicken. My friend ordered the shrimp tacos and she loved them, they come with spicy mayo, slaw and are fried. I would say this place was more The restaurant itself is spacious and decorated well. All the staff was attentive and nice. read more

Ayy Chihuahua is a hidden gem that absolutely blew us away! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm and welcoming nice ambiance with a fun, relaxed energy. We started with the guac (medium spice level), which was fresh and flavorful. For mains, we had the branzino, steak tacos, skit steak and a side of french fries to share . Honestly everything was great. The branzino was perfectly cooked crispy on the outside and tender inside, and the steak in the tacos was juicy and full of flavor. To top it all off, the drinks were on point. We had a passion fruit margarita on the rocks, a mango fruit margarita on the rocks that was perfectly balanced (not too sweet, not too strong), and the sangria was fruity and refreshing great pairing with the meal. We wrapped it all up with dessert. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to. Our server was very nice! Highly recommend if you're looking for good food, good drinks, and a solid chill vibe. read more

I am obsessed with their chile relleno (battered roasted poblano pepper stuffed with veggies and cheese in a delicious tomato sauce with a side of refried beans and rice). It's flavorful and light, and the perfect choice when you don't want to have meat. My hubby usually orders either the steak or chicken fajitas, which come out sizzling hot with tortillas, guac, sour cream, pico de gallo, rice and refried beans on the side. We usually order the tostaditas de atún as our app. Light and refreshing, especially when you sprinkle some green salsa on top. The food has been very tasty and fresh every time we've gone. I've had the Diosa Verde drink on one occasion. So good! Would highly recommend this place. (Attached pics are taken from multiple visits) read more

Wow! I've been underwhelmed by many Mexican themed restaurants in the Astoria neighborhood thus I resisted. Ayy Chihuahua does right all the things that I think other establishment do wrong for started, they make their own chipotle and jalapeño hot sauces. We were Mayer told they make every sauce in-house. This makes a big difference. We ordered the skirt steak and a shrimp garlic dishes (see picture). First observation is that the dishes were not overly salted. A theme they kept throughout. We ordered a Tres Leches desert with strawberry jam, but we're mostly sweet. The service was excellent too. We came in towards the end of the shift and the staff was a bit tardy but overall they were pleasant, professional, and knowledgeable. I can't wait to return... read more

3.25 Ambiance: fantastic. Great for girls night out, date nights, drink at the bar. Can seat small and large parties and has a lot of space. Food: I really wanted to love this place given the decor, excellent service and location, but the food was average at best. Best things we ate were the fajitas (steak is the best) and octopus/pulpo (under seasoned but well cooked). We loved the spicy sauces which did help add flavor to the food Would not order the nachos again. Drinks were okay. read more

Been here multiple times since they opened and only getting around now to sharing my thoughts. First thought? WOW. WE HAVE A WINNER! This location has housed a few failed restaurants previously but I think they finally found a long term tenant. The place is beautiful. It always has been but the touches they added from previous ownership make it their own and show their determination to stay put. Service is impeccable. Wait staff is always attentive and provide service with a smile. Be it Brunch, Dinner, drinks. They're always on point. The food is delicious. Fresh. ALWAYS FRESH. I literally taste the love that goes into both the food and the drinks. Mexican fare seems to be opening up everywhere but I implore you to give Ayy Chuhuahua a try. You will not be disappointed. Keep this establishment going. They deserve it! I haven't tried the speakeasy downstairs but it's on my list. read more

I went to New York to visit one of my friends and when she picked me up at JFK she suggested that we head over to this location for a good lunch. I will start with when you first walk in the location is beautiful. It is very nicely decorated, and it has a huge bar. We sat at a table and ordered a few margaritas and boy were they delicious. For appetizer we decided to actually order tacos. The tacos were super yummy. The tortilla felt fresh. For my main, I ordered the salad which had mango avocado, grilled chicken. Everything that I love. It was a very filling meal yet. I still felt light. I would definitely check out this location. They also had a a rating from the health department, which is always a plus. read more

If you're thinking about Ayy Chihuahua, stop thinking and go. The food was packed with flavor and some of the best Mexican I've had - the guac was fresh and spiced perfectly, the chicken tacos were delicious, and the nachos were some of the best nachos I've ever had. Not sure what they do to their chicken but the flavor is phenomenal. Even better than the food is the service - consistently checking in, refilling water, and making sure the experience is top notch with a smile. LOVED this experience and wish I could give more than five stars. Ayy Chihuahua is definitely towards the top of my list! read more

Very unfortunate to say this was an overall disappointing experience. Glad we tried a few things so we could get a fair sense of the menu/restaurant. The nachos tejanos were definitely well-liked. Tostadatitas de Atun tuna tostadas were okay. The esquites were made with canned corn...with water accumulated at the bottom. The shrimp tacos were very sparsely filled, and with shrimp that was cooked at least twice as long as it should have been. That point in particular was the most disappointing and took things from not great to bad. Sadly there are just too many solid options in the area for great Mexican food generally, and especially for this price point, for this not to have been pretty subpar. read more

Ayy Chihuahua is Astoria's finest Mexican restaurant by far. Everything about this new spot, including its dips, bread, and fresh octopus, is amazing. I was here at the beginning of the year with my partner, and based on so many recommendations, they did not disappoint in any way. Mexican restaurants come and go. I expect Ayy Chihuahua will be around for quite a while! read more

3.5 stars ! Inside is nice and the service was good. Nothing crazy or standout about the food to me. The mole was good but the tacos my dad had just looked... sad. Very small for the price you pay. It's not outrageously expensive but I know I could get better for a cheaper price. read more

Ayy Chihuahua - Chicken Mole - Mexican Near Me - Astoria, New York

Sister restaurant of Chihuahua in Sunnyside. Beautiful, large, bright space conveniently located on Ditmars. Group of 7-8 on a Friday night. Most of the restaurant and bar were full. There were family-style prix fixe options with bottomless drinks that included guacamole, nachos, an entree, a beverage. Half of the group ordered prix fixe. Great food and drinks, plus the house hot sauces. Everyone said they enjoyed their mains (they definitely looked and smelled great!) Good portions! The staff was attentive, helpful and patient. I had the esquites, guacamole, nachos, Salmon del Pacifico and margaritas. Everything tasted great, my seafood tasted super fresh. I just wish my seafood dish had a little more kick/ seasoning to it, I ended up adding some of the house hot sauce/salsa to it. I also wish the house sauces were brought out with the apps automatically (I had to request them). I was told the mole sauce is good so I would definitely want to try a dish with that next time. I also want to try some of the other cocktails or one of the margarita flavors (i.e. tamarind). Great addition to the area, hope they do well! read more

Don't forget the guacamole.everything from the traditional Mexican food like fajitas and fish tacos are delicious, but a Bronzino was also top-notch and the corn really good. the soup is amazing. Just overall an excellent place to eat in the neighbourhood. read more

The decor here is very nice and looks like the vibes would be great on a weekend. We however came on a Tuesday evening and it was pretty empty. If i wanted to go out to eat for the decor and drinks, I would pick this Mexican spot but the food on the other hand... We got the queso fundido appetizer. It came with tortilla on the side and no chips. I guess the menu didn't list chips and we should've known but.... Queso with no chips?!? What?!? When we asked the waitress, she was nice enough to bring out a basket of chips for us. The queso was good and cheesy but very salty. It was also extremely small. For my main, I opted for Birria tacos ($21 for 3). No mix and match for tacos. The consume was very bland and flavorless. No spice whatsoever. The short rib inside the tacos was good but was lacking seasoning. I had to lather these up in the green salsa they provided since the consume was bland. Others got the sear and sea tacos, chicken enchiladas with salsa verde, steak fajitas, and the soup. The steak fajitas were cooked well actually. My husband's chicken enchiladas were pretty bland too. I can't say the food overall was bad, but it didn't hit the spot and there is definitely better tasting spots out there. This restaurant just opened so maybe they'll take some time to work on the food. Overall, a decent spot on Ditmars! read more

What an amazing addition to Ditmars Blvd! We came to this place after a recommendation from my best friend and it did not disappoint. To drink, I got the flora and fauna. To start, We shared the nachos tejanos with chicken and the tostaditas de atun. The nachos were Crispy, cheesy and full of flavor. A little spicy too but just a kick! As a main dish, we all got tacos. I got the Birria, my best friend got the steak and my other friend the fish ones. All of them came in threes and the presentation was beautiful. They were delicious and filling! Definitely worth another trip! The service was so good. All the waiters were super attentive and nice. We enjoyed this place so much We are coming back next week to celebrate my best friend's birthday. See you soon! read more

FINALLY a restaurant in this space worth going to! The ENTIRE staff is SO nice and attentive - I go here all the time and have never received anything but a smile and exactly what I ordered in record time! Even when they're very busy! You want the guacamole and the fajitas. Trust me on this. They give you a ton and it's very fresh. The other "ceviche like" shrimp appetizer (forget what it's called) is also delicious if you're in the mood for something lighter. I do wish the queso was good, but I'm so happy with these dishes that I really don't care what else they have. Side note - I LOVE the new decor. The art is so awesome ! They really did a wonderful job transforming the previous shitshows into a great place to hang out and eat. Everyone come give them all your money so they never leave. read more

10/10 food and 11/10 service! I'll admit I was skeptical at first because a lot of places have been opening and closing in this area, but this place did not fail to impress. We got the Salmon del Pacifico, guacamole, queso fundido, Nachos Tejanos, and steak. The sauce for the salmon was so delicious and I loved how it came with additional seafood such as shrimp, scallops, etc. Guac was refreshing. The queso was also an awesome savory appetizer to start with. The nachos tejanos was a good sharing size for my family as an appetizer. My dad and brother also really enjoyed their steak! We ended the night with a piece of tres leches, which I would highly recommended. This is a big space and we didn't have to wait long for a table on a Saturday night. It is a good space for bringing bigger parties. It also has an interesting aesthetic. Overall, I would come back as the food was great, but the service even better! read more

New addition to the Ditmars food scene. The space is very big. There are ample outdoor and indoor seating options. Visited for brunch. Chilaquiles were a little bland, the sauce didn't really have a true flavor. Other options, birria tacos and a nice grilled chicken salad seemed good, but not as authentic as other Mexican spots in the area. Drinks were good! read more

One of the best new additions to the area. We have been there 6 times and never been disappointed. I recommend the guacamole, chicken mole, and spicey margs. Also the service is on point whether seated at the bar or at a table. We will continue to eat and done here. Love to staff too read more
