Excellent restaurant!! Great service as well The Manager is extremely welcoming along with all of the staff read more

I love steak, so this is a go-to restaurant. The steak portions are huge, and filling. I recommend the skirt steak. The Argentinian chimi-churri sauce is soooo good on the steak. Don't forget a nice glass of sangria. Depending on the cook sometimes the potatoes are cold or warm. Specify everything and they will cater to you. Great customer service! It's a casual place. Depending on the time of day, the noise level goes from just noisy to very noisy. And as you may realize when walking in, it's all about the soccer! Soccer on the TV, Soccer on the walls. The waiters wear soccer jerseys as well. They don't have a large parking area. You will have to park on Queens blvd or in adjacent blocks. read more

We went to this restaurant with a couple of friends to watch a Copa America game and it was a pleasant experience. My friends had ordered a parrillada and the meat was delicious, they serve you with some type of sauce that makes it taste even better. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a restaurant to watch a soccer game. read more

1st time at this restaurant, definitely not what was expected, waiters really don't pay much attention to you and treat you as if they are doing you a favor, why not? If the tip is automatically added to your bill, crappy service or not, they get their 18%. The food was definitely average and expensive, nothing great or unique about it, the seafood used in their paella tasted old, the rice had no flavor, and the shrimp was like chewing a rubber toy, ended up with stomach problems all night. Would I return or recommend this place? Probably NO! There are so many other steakhouse restaurants around that will provide you with a much better experience all around. read more

The food is just impeccable! the mash potatoes are just to die for, so creamy and scrumptious

Been 3 times, the food is below average but the waiters aahhh bueno !!! Que hdpta.. !!! They are the big problem of this place, they don't realize that we are in NY ? Good restaurant excellent experiences competition everywhere !! waiters arent doing me a favor, I'm fucking paying to eat with my family, wow how an incompetent staff can screw a nice concept just for be unprofessional money hungry greedy go back to Argentina aprende Modales forro !!!. No more again here enough is enough !!! read more

It used to be good, not anymore. Food still good, service is pathetic. I waited more than 5 minutes for my water to be refilled while my waiter spent that time talking to the table next door about his daughter and his love adventure. Then I asked for a dessert and I waited for 20+ minutes while the same waiter continued to bullshit around with the table next door. Besides, the same exact person wore his mask as a scarf. Totally unrespectful. Too bad they are going downhill as there is not much for argentinian food around read more

Food is delicious. Portions are good. Service can be better. Prices are a bit on the high side.

Been coming here for years with my family however I agree with the other Yelpers, place has gone down. Food was just okay, ordered the meat platter. However their service is the reason we won't be coming back here again. The wait staff pick and choose who they want to be hospitable with as not everyone get the same treatment and it's clearly evident. They are rude and inattentive. Do not order dessert as it's not fresh and taste stale. Yes, all three options (tres leches, cheesecake and flan). We want to support local businesses but their lack of hospitality and rudeness have made us decide to never support this place again. read more

Portions are huge. Atmosphere is amazing for soccer fans, shirts hanged everywhere and pictures of Maradona. Service was quick and friendly, place was clean and nice, and food was okay with huge portions. I enjoyed my dinner there and feels like it's a place that one need to try at least once especially when there is a match where Argentina is part of. Viva Argentina :) read more

Me and a Buddy went in there on a Saturday when there was a full schedule of soccer games on television. We walk in and all the TV's are off and the place is like a morgue. We ordered our food and asked the waiter to please turn on the Manchester United Game. He looked at us like we had 5 heads!. For a soccer oriented establishment you'd think there would be soccer on 24/7 no matter what team is playing. Strike 1. We order our steaks and they come out with the crappiest fries i've ever had. The steak tasted like something you'd buy at dollar tree!. for 20.00+ you'd think you get some decent steak but it was awful!. The best part about the entire meal was the Quilmes Beers.Strike 2 and the final nail in the coffin. the dreaded 18% gratuity tacked onto the bill. WTF! who in their right mind would tip these people? the waiter was very unpleasant and i was going to leave a minimal tip but surprise! they do it for you! Word of Advice. Purchase your own meats from a butcher and have your own asado. i guarantee you'd have a better meal at home than at this dump. STAY AWAY! read more

Have been here a handful of time but the food is always delicious. Casual environment with lots of TVs. Service can be a little inattentive but the food makes up for it. I got the breaded steak with cheese and onion. It was huge tasty and filling. Came with a side of mashed potatoes that were delicious buttery and whipped. Had the meat empanada to start which was ok. My friend had cheese ravioli with cream sauce that was also very tasty. Meal is served with bead with bruschetta and chimi churro sauce which was a great way to start the meal. Had a glass of red sangria that was amazing! Overall very happy with the food and would definitely recommend giving it a try. read more

Boca Juniors Restaurant - Argentine Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

Don't come here it was our first time and sad to say it will be our last. I can cook better with my feet. Much to be desired sorry but truth be told. Then they try to add a $16 dollar gratuity on top of our already over priced meal. My husband said take that shit off and we walked away without giving a tip. I mean my order was the worse out of my husband and son meals. Don't go here save your money and cook your own food at home for one hundred bucks you'll be happier you did my friend. My vegetables were from a bag and my salmon was soaked in a jar of apricot sauce so no I'm not happy. I walked away so disappointed. I told my husband to take us to our favorite place Chihuahua in Sunnyside NY so far they have been the best. read more

Ufff their skirt steak and their mash potatoes. Mix those two together and you get heaven. 100000%

We spent last Sunday celebrating My Brother's Birthday. He likes play football, so we decided to go one restaurant associated with that. (We had never tasted the Argentine food). When we arrived they received so friendly. Food was delicious, especially types of steak. I got the chicken with champions and was amazing! Mashed potatoes at the perfect point, rice is ok. Our waiter was nice and kind. I think a good environment comes with good music, and this music was so cool! I Don't know about the likes of other people, but we love R&B/ Soul and Pop Music. We could speak with good tone, compared to other restaurants where the music is loud and rude, we have to shout. For sure We will come back to Boca!!! read more

Boca Juniors Restaurant - Argentine Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

I lived in this neighborhood for over 10 years now and never got the chance to try Boca Junior. I've heard great things and decided to finally give it a try and took my girlfriend (who may have looked Argentinian but is actually Italian) on a date. It was a disappointment. I learned that if you are not of spanish decent... don't expect the workers to treat you equally. As an asian American, it was an uncomfortable experience. Im always open to trying new things from other countries but my waiter made me feel like I didn't belong there. He made faces when we told him we didn't speak Spanish. He made it unbearably awkward and he shared with all the other workers that we didn't speak Spanish. I was close to walking out if he had made another smart remark. After placing our order his character changed. It felt like he was putting on an act and was judging us from a far. He also asked to tip in cash and with respect I honored his request. Based on my review it may seem likely that I gave a bad tip but i put down a reasonable 18%. It seems like it wasn't enough for him because as we were walking out he was talking to the other workers and we caught the word "chino" come out of his mouth. Till the very end they manage to make me regret every second I spent in there. FOOD: it was good, I wish I was treated better so I could've had the best boca Junior experience. Customer Service: If you are Hispanic, you will be treated like family, if you are not, best of luck maybe take out would be a better option. read more

This restaurant was a good alternative to food court food yet affordable. For those who have never eaten at an Argentine restaurant, the cuisine is similar to Italian but has well-done sausage & much more steak. The atmosphere is casual yet classy, ideal for soccer fans. Flags everywhere! read more

The reason why i think this restaurant deserves one star is for the following reasons. Me and my wife went there on a Saturday afternoon thinking that it was a time to try something different other than the usual outback across the street. First off we should have turned around and left after the person who was to seat us completely ignored us and grab the people that came in after us. When he came back he ask if its just the two of us, i said yes, and we were seated. We sat down and drinks were placed. When the drinks came the waiter did not say anything to us, didnt ask if we were ready to order he directed his attention to the other tables. 20 minutes passed by and i ask if they will take our order, mind you my wife was getting pretty upset, i tried to reassure her maybe it is the policy we have to ask for everything. They finally took our order and they brought everything out App, salad, entrees all out together. AND THAT WAS THE LAST E EVER SAW OF THIS WAITER, OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER COMING TO HELP US. The food was pretty bad, we complained and all he waiter said we will talk with the cook TO ALL FUTURE PATRONS OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT, IF YOU ARE NOT EUROPEAN OR LATINO DECENT EXPECT BAD SERVICE. WE NOTICE ANOTHER COUPLE OF AFRICAN AMERICAN DECENT WHO WAS VERY UPSET OF THEIR SERVICE ALSO. THEY COMPLAINED AND WAS ASK IF THEY WERE READY FOR THEIR CHECK. They looked at us we look at them and we both knew what was the issue WE PAID OUR CHECK AND LEFT... THANKS BOCA JUNIORS FOR PUTTING A BAD EXPERIENCE IN OUR MIND OF ARGENTINA'S CULTURE, FOOD AND HOSPITALITY. read more

Watch carefully your bill. At the time of payment we had our bill charged the tax twice. Apparently, if you pay in cash you only pay tax once...Not sure how legal that is. Regardless, after a few back and ford we got charge "correctly". Correctly, if you accept the tip being force charged at 18% in a party of two. We didn't care too much of that so we let it slip. read more

Not even in starvation mode did this place tasted delicious. I am not Argentinian, I am not a Boca Junior fan, I am a fan of tasty steaks, I guess that puts me in the minority to the people who this restaurant is trying to appeal too. After spending the day in the city, someone in our party had heard this place was good. (without checking out the yelp reviews we decided to listen to this person, one makes irrational decisions when hungry) My Hispanic heritage has told me that the Argentinians are wonderful at cooking steaks. Other countries try to emulate the Argentinian churrasco and its wonderful char flavor. Apparently this restaurant did not get the memo on this. Our churrasco steaks were not that great, and our sides kind of poor. In our party of 8 nobody really enjoyed their meal enough to rave about it. When I feel i can go home and cook a better steak, there is a problem. Mostly because i don' consider myself a wonderful cook. I will say the service was good enough where we didn't have to constantly fetch the waiters. I will leave the guilty feeling of consuming 16 oz of meat while these guys are parading in soccer warm up outfits out of it. There is really nothing worst than eating when in full starvation mode and not really enjoying your meal. If you are going to call yourself an Argentinian steakhouse, make sure you live up to the name, otherwise just call yourself the Appleblee's of Boca Junior which all this restaurant turns out to be. read more

Halfway through our meal, the entire wait staff grabbed yellow and blue umbrellas (Boca Junior colors) and marched around the restaurant cheering for the team; that was the highlight of our meal there. I suggested trying this place because I missed Argentina and also wanted to be in a fun cheesy-ish family atmosphere. It was all of that; but the prices were high for the food quality. The meats were the equivalent of the kind of $3 meal you'd get pulled off the street by solicitors for in Buenos Aires. I of course wouldn't expect such prices in the U.S., but we paid a good $20-30 each, which would have gone further elsewhere. It's still a fun place to be, though, if you like futbol, heaps of meat and beer (and if you aren't a River Plate fan). read more

Gotta love Boca Junior for what they are: an argentinian meat shack in a soccer fanatic's living room. We thought there would be more of a soccer crowd here but I guess the Algeria/Slovenia game wasn't enough of a draw. Been coming here for years and have felt the quality gradually decline. My main gripes with Boca Junior's are as follows: -The lack of included side dishes. Presentation is awful because they basically throw your meat on a plate and throw the plate on your table. Is she pretty? No. Is she well-dressed? No. Is still she delicious? Yes. -Staff is overly friendly - with each other. They seem to be so caught up with their own jokes and antics that they come of as unattentive. I'm all for brotherly bonding but don't go carrying on with the guffawing and splitting sides when you have customers who are waiting for water, waiting to order, waiting for food to arrive, waiting for the check... hold on, why are they called "waiters" again? Must tries: entraña, chorizo, grill platter (for 1 or for 2), flan con dulce de leche. Skip the steamed potatoes, they're flavorless and inconsistent. Also, skip the bread... they're not worth the effort it takes to bring them to your mouth. read more

Best food is the bread they give in the beginning. The service was great actually. Ambience is cool. I love the foam heart stickers around Maradona. The ribs were pretty nice and soft. The mixed platter seemed too charred and a bit overcooked. Sausages wasn't that great, intestines were oddly creamy... I ain't about it. I love blood sausages and stringy innards to feast on but this was disappointing. The churrasco was just meat. There was some whiteish meat that tasted like cooked fat but it wasn't. All the meat seemed pretty greasy. The spaghetti wasn't amazing but the seafood was soft. Postabon had a weird aftertaste like it was too old. The rice was bad. read more

A waste of money. Okay, so here's the deal with this place; it does business as by 9:30pm there was a line to get in. I'm not so sure why though. My party got there at 7:30 and we were offered two of the worst tables in the house although at that time there were plenty of tables. One table right at the entrance and the other table next to the bar. After we've been seated, the bread comes and it's the cheapest possible. You know what I'm describing; sad small loaves of over sugared and pillow-y mounds of carb that lack in any texture or flavor aside from corn syrup. Pats of butter in the packages served as well. My salad was fresh but, so over dressed and acidic, not edible. My fillet was fine, prepared rare as requested and the portion was generous. Deserving of the one star rating. I ordered a side of mixed vegetables and what I got was a nearly empty plate of over boiled and unseasoned frozen veggie mix. The other side was a rice dish that was simply over cooked and limp. The food arrived in a snap but, it took 45 minutes to get the bill as our waiter just disappeared. Once he reappeared, he just discarded the table. When we finally got the bill, he had overcharged us for items so, still another wait just to get the check corrected. Honestly, there are so many other Argentine/steak options around the city that I'll never bother again. Don't waste your time and money either. read more

The food is of poor quality and the restaurant is dirty. I wouldn't step into this restaurant again. As I was eating the bread a roach popped out of the bread basket totally gross. read more

Boca Junior is perfect for those that are super into Soccer and just want to have a great time! You walk in and you get bombarded with a bunch of soccer memorabilia which is pretty cool. My honey and I got recommended to this place for a long time and decided to just go here! Once you sit down they have soccer playing from five different tv. They serve you bruschetta and bread and butter with some chimichurri sauce. The bruschetta was really good; bunch of garlic and tomatoes. The bread I wish was warmer but can't complain. We decided to order lengua a la vinagreta which is tongue in a vinaigrette sauce, skirt steak with salad , shell steak with a side of salad, and a glass of sangria. I love the tongue in vinaigrette sauce. It was tender and juicy. I added the chimichurri sauce and some salt and I deadass would have eaten more of it. The steak was cooked to our liking which was medium rare but I must say the skirt steak was alittle tough just because of how it was cut. Sangria was alright! But other than that I had a good time and I would just recommend anyone to go here for their tongue and I did notice their grill set for two was popular. Might check that out next time I come here! read more

Came here with a group of friends for dinner we all left very happy. We started of with some fried calamari which was the only bad part of the evening the calamari tasted chewy and bland like it had been frozen we only order this item because our waiter recommended it would definitely not order that again. That being said this is a steak house and that's why we came here we ordered a couple of parrilladas for two each one came packed with juicy perfectly cooked steaks sausages short ribs just to name a few over some drinks and food the night was great. One thing I thought was different is that this place doesn't server hard alcohol but they do allow you to bring your own for a cork fee which wasn't bad considering we where a large group and drank a lot the for the price of the cork fee they provided us with glasses and ice all night. If your looking for a place to hang out eat and drink without the staff trying to push you out this is the place read more

Very interesting place. It's adorned with Fútbol memorabilia (specifically Argentina's of course) & Flags from all over the world cover the ceiling. The menu is very straight forward, some standard options and adventurous plates for the daredevils that look beyond just steak. The service was great! Our server was spot on with his recommendations and let us linger a while after we were all done with our meals (thanks!) reasonable pricing, great service and food. Gotta check out the drink section next time I visit! read more

Nominally there's two reasons you come here, one is futbol the other is meat. Argentina is known for its abundance of cattle, which are readily turned into tasty treats and shipped to this flashy spot on Queens Blvd. I passed by here a lot and knew one day I was bound to check it out... So a Sunday rolls by and I call up a fellow carnivore. It was relatively quiet. One man was lunching on a bottle of wine, just watching a match on TV... a few families scattered around toasting each other gratuitously, and then a wonderful couple sitting one table in front of my face locked in a battle of tongues once the wine ran out. The waiter was cool but I probably didn't need instructions on the menu system, because I'm familiar with how they work. Appetizer - Chicken Pie Meal - Entrada (skirt steak) Drink - Quilmes Appetizer was great, but it was really just a glorified empanada, and the price was decent on that but I thought I was getting more than one. The steak I ordered was real good though, a very long strip that was cooked by the hand of a pro. Edges were a bit crispy, inside was juicy. You get some rice and a single hot pepper so you're really just paying for the meat - no potatoes. My friend ordered a steak creation that is a complete sleeper hit. Breaded steak, with cheese and onions on top. Somehow he suffered from a freak nose bleed that threatened to leave his white blood cell count in the single digits and while he was observing the ceiling tiles I snatch a piece of this. Bangin! The breaded steak is very cheap too considering you get a monster portion of it. I'm definitely getting that next time. read more

Came here Friday night with my boyfriend and some friends. My guy, being Argentinian, really likes this place and has always spoken very highly of it. Now I know why. The energy is great, very fun place to eat. There was a boca game playing in the background and all the waiters were going crazy dancing and cheering on the game. VERY fun atmosphere. I ordered the skirt steak with a mixed salad. The steak was beautifully cooked, well seasoned and VERY juicy. One of the best skirt steaks I have ever had. It was delicious plain, with nothing on it. No steak sauce needed here! The salad was also very tasty with a light balsamic dressing. They also put bruschetta down on the table and chimichurri which is delicious. The prices are moderate. I would definitely come back here soom and try some more! read more

The experience at Boca Juniors was a letdown after going in with high hopes. The establishment was clean and has all of the staples of a traditional steakhouse. The waiter was accommodating but a bit frazzled. Upon receiving our food the server was all over the place and the waiter forgot some orders and had to be reminded. The food portions and quality were below average. The Mixed Grilled Meats for two quantity was smaller than the food you receive at other steakhouses. The meats were overcooked and the lack of variety did not help. The mashed potatoes and potato salad were bland and lacked any seasoning. The experience was subpar and not worth another visit, what a shame. read more

No one does steak like the Argentinians! Hubby had the Churrasco (sirloin) & I had the entrana (skirt steak), we were both very pleased with our order. Best steak in town. Red sangria went perfectly well with our steaks. We usually never venture to Queens for food, but Boca Juniors is our place for steaks. We've eaten at loads of places in the city, i.e. the Palm (I've gone to NY & Chicago locations) and frankly we prefer to get our steak here. Its not a fancy place, but if you want authentic Argentinian steak, great sangria in a homey atmosphere, look no further...You won't be disappointed =) Everyone shouldn't be complaining about the sides, the steak portions are huge that you barely even touch your side. I mean, since when do we go out to restaurants for the sides. This place isn't red lobster. Speaking of sides, try the Russian salad - it goes perfectly well with your steak. read more

Never having tried Argentine food my boyfriend and I decided to come here. We asked the waiter what he recommended and what was a popular dish. We took his advice and it is my always go-to order. I always order the Milanese Boca Junior (fried steak in a pinkish cream sauce) with creamy mashed potatoes. As for the ambience...the place is filled with pictures, flags, and televisions showcasing EVERYTHING soccer. Even the waiters where soccer jerseys. Overall...Great food and ambience. :) read more

One star to be generous, in reality this place deserve no star. Decided to take my boyfriend for his birthday and his family , the waiter was so rude to us never again will I come here . I rather go to McDonald's. I asked for my skirt steak to be well done and he brought it medium well and then I told him if they can cook it a little more and he said no because the meat will be dry . I asked him who was going to eat it me or him. So many things went wrong at this place yelp doesn't have enough character to fit it . So much for a great birthday. Also my mother In law order a seafood paella and they put meat when she clearly said no meat only seafood. Oh and let me just say how they forgot the lobster on top and brought it later on. What happen to making the customers happy. This place needs some improvement and change of staff for sure. Will never be back for sure read more

This is an awesome spot to get some real good Argentine food. The skirt steak, blood sausages, grill chicken, pastas, etc are all good (getting hungrier as I right this). Their sangria is top notch and the Quilmes is good too. The staff are all male but friendly and will go out their way to accommodate you and your guest. Although, on Mother's day I went there not thinking it was going to be crowded, man was I wrong. Be sure to call the restaurant and get a reservation but the good thing was I only waited for an half hour and it was worth it :) Also if your a big Boca Juniors fan like my dad then you'll love it here! Everything about the club is all over the walls and it's a great place to watch a football/soccer match. But I do wish the place was a bit bigger. It does feel a bit cramped when you have to get up and go to the restroom or exiting the place. read more
