    A great place for happy hour if you're in the area! The prices are decent especially for the drinks. The size of the portions for happy hour are pretty fair as well. I just felt that I needed some more spice! But other than that, I had a great experience. Service was pretty quick on a weekday. But soon after I arrived, it got packed! The joint is pretty poppin and gives off a very lively atmosphere. I'm obsessed with the decor all around!!! Definitely my type of art work. My favorite that I had off the HH menu was definitely the guac and chips... made deliciously! The empanadas I felt were seasoned nicely in theory; maybe some more salt would bring out those flavors. However, they were still tasty to me. Enjoyed eating them as I drank. The chicken tacos were the same for me... I just needed some more salt and potentially, the flavors would have popped out more. Seems like it was seasoned in a tomato based mix and it had so much potential. I wouldn't knock them; I'm just picky lol. The drinks are strong here! And I love that. Any place with a bartender who hooks it up and gets you right is a place for me!!!! I recommend the tamarind margarita if that's your jam. And you've got to get it frozen because it's a vibe when you do. I'm interested in how brunch is like here so I shall be back!

    Happy hour

    Full bar, nice decor, attentive staff. Great happy hour. Good music. Outside seating. Came here for taco Tuesday and had fun. Music on point. Margaritas were so good; especially the coconut which I am in love with. Chicken empanadas were good as well as the chicken quesadilla. Janet bartender was excellent she held the bar down by herself and other orders. I will definitely return from Brooklyn and my boo from jersey said, he liked it.

    I was looking for a Saturday happy hour in Queens and Tic Toc suggested this spot and it did not disappoint. While I opted to sit outside on the patio the inside is big and spacious. Outside was very cute and accommodating, they even had AC on the patio. Our server Denise was a complete vibe. She knew we were not from the area and gave us the run down of other places to visit. While the establishment promotes Mexican food it had a warm Dominican flare that I personally enjoyed. I only ordered from the happy hour menu and would suggest it all. I was impressed with the quality of the drinks as happy hour drinks can be more of a miss than a hit. I had the guava mojito and by the 3rd one I could feel them. I enjoyed myself so much I plan to go back for their weekday happy hour. I am only giving it a 4 because I did not eat from regular menu.

    Mango and passion fruit margaritas

    Went back here twice recently. Once was during happy hour and the other was Friday night after happy hour. Both times we left there twisted! Lol I'm ashamed to say I got drunk off of mojitos, but man did they do a job! Friday night was very busy and lively, I believe they had a live DJ and the place was definitely pumping. The music was soo loud inside that we could not hear ourselves talk, so we asked to be seated outside. Luckily, they were able to find us a table out back. The service was really good and friendly both times. Our waitress was Dennys Friday night and Darysmeli during happy hour. FOOD: on both occasions no one was really hungry so we just got some appetizers to snack on. All this time I've been going here I never tried the grilled octopus and that has to be my biggest regret because it's AMAZING! So much so, I ordered TWO more! It's $21 and comes with a side salad but I'll pay the $21 just for the octopus all day long! It's seasoned and grilled to perfection. Not dry or chewy, just right. The chips & guac and Mexican street style corn were also 10/10s! The wings were good, nice and crunchy, but they kinda give frozen wing vibes and so does the calamari. DRINKS: well this here is the star of the show! Usually, I always get the margaritas, but when I went for happy hour my friend got the mojito and I tried it, now there's no turning back. We tried both passion fruit and tamarind mojitos, the tamarind was good, not too sweet, but the passion fruit?!? That was AMAZING! I really like that the mint leaves aren't overbearing, and it's the perfect balance of tasty and STRONG! We had 3-4 each and baby, we were soo DONE! The next day I was talking to a friend who said he was also there Friday night and got drunk of the passion fruit mojitos, so I'm glad to know it wasn't just us! Lol

    i genuinely feel this restaurant is enjoyable when you are with a group of people, its super fun the frozen margaritas are amazing its strong what would help is a dance floor lol the food is good everything is pricey but just know at the end you will have a good time i recommend to come here for birthdays and after 9pm for live dj

    Mojito

    Absolutely love the drinks here!! The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Whether you're here to unwind or celebrate, this place nails it. Highly recommend!

    Coconut Mojito
    Natasha A.

    Vibrant vibes and flavor-packed bites! We stopped in for Happy Hour and were instantly drawn in by the vibrant, inviting decor and the lively mix of Spanish music setting the perfect mood. The drinks were a hit--coconut mojitos and lemonades that were both refreshing and delicious. We tried a little bit of everything: the chicken tacos, guac, and French fries were all solid choices, but the chicken empanadas stole the show. Crispy on the outside, savory on the inside, and paired with a ketchup-mayo-style sauce that seriously took them over the top. Hands down, the best empanadas I've ever had! Bartender was friendly and attentive. The calamari was also a standout--crispy, flavorful, and not overly greasy. I'll definitely be back to try a full entrée soon. This spot has officially earned a spot on my go-to list! Sorry I was starving when the food came and I didn't get a pic

    Sangria
    Kimberly V.

    Came here for happy hour with friends. Service was quick as it was early so not many people were here. We ordered every appitizer on their happy menu and we just shared it. All was good. The empanadas come with 2 beef and 2 spinach (it's really just one cut in half) calamari looked like onion rings lol they were okay. Wings were good. They were Small, not the big scary ones wirh steroids in them so that was good. Guac, chicken tacos and quesadillas was good. We got sangrias, and margaritas which were all delicious. I recommend this place.

    Tamarindo Mojito
    Dulce B.

    Not too long ago, my friend and I decided to do brunch on a Saturday and ended up at Don Tequila Urban Cantina on Woodhaven Blvd in Queens. The vibes were on point the music was jumping, the service was great, and our waitress was super sweet. We had calamari, chicken wings, and chicken tacos, and everything came out quick and tasted amazing. The mojitos were the star of the show star my friend had guava, I had tamarindo, and both were so good. Plus, happy hour on a Saturday? You really can't beat that. Definitely a spot I'd go back to and recommend. The place was fun and lively but still comfortable enough to just sit back and enjoy. It's one of those spots you leave already planning your next visit.

I would like to see 1 or 2 more food menu items added but everything we had was very very good. We had the sampler and it was perfect for us. The DJ was everything! The music was so good. Old school early 2000's hip hop and r&b. But I hear on any given night, the music goes to the vibe of the crowd. The service was fantastic. We had everything we needed and the wait staff was attentive. I will absolutely be coming back here! They have great happy hour during the weekdays and a brunch I want to check out. 10/10 so far.

The owner is also really cool; he personally greets guests and makes a point of chatting with the performers to ensure they're comfortable. This is a wonderfully romantic spot. The beautiful flowers add such a nice touch (as I mentioned in my previous review).

The floral displays are fun and are probably the highlight of the visit. The space is clearly designed for photos, and I can see why it would be popular for birthdays, showers, or other special occasions. They seem to go the extra mile when it comes to creating a celebratory atmosphere. Service was excellent from start to finish. The staff at reception and at the table were attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Food-wise, we tried the Kung Pao calamari and wagyu meatballs after seeing other reviewers rave about them, but both felt a little gimmicky to me. Our group mostly stuck with more traditional brunch items, including breakfast burritos and omelettes, and those were fine. Overall, I would not necessarily come here just for the food, but I would recommend it for the atmosphere, service, and special-occasion vibe. It is a great spot if you want a pretty setting, good hospitality, and plenty of photo-friendly areas.

We tried to make reservations for 6:30pm, but it gave us an error message that the time had been taken already, so I was assuming that the restaurant would be packed, but it was the opposite when we walked in. There were only two other people there. So I would definitely look into their reservations system. For drinks, I went for the mango margarita. 10/10 recommend the drinks. My margarita was delicious. their cocktail menu looks super fun, they have drinks that come out in little bathtubs and cute presentations. For food, we shared the ahi tuna tostada appetizer which was so good! super fresh and flavorful. For our mains, I got the chicken al pastor tacos (loved the flavors, especially the avocado crema) and he ordered the carne asada tacos, which were also packed with flavor. Portion-wise, for the price, you get three tacos, so it felt very reasonable. The tacos were definitely a hit for both of us. The only small downside was the service towards the end. everything started out great, but once we were done, it took a while to actually get the check and pay. Kinda funny how it took longer to leave than it did to get served. Not a huge deal, but just something to keep in mind if you're on a schedule..they definitely don't rush you out.

I hate to bring down a mom 'n' pop shop, but this place isn't very good. It's also kinda pricey for Forest Hills and for the quality you get. Sigh. The best dishes we got were the Oxtail Croquettes and the Crispy Salmon. Things started going downhill at the pretty but bizarrely flavored Forest Hills Roll, which inexplicably pairs salmon, tobiko, orange, chives, avocado sauce, and teriyaki mayo. I appreciate a creative/fusion roll, but salmon and orange should never, ever exist on the same plate. Ever. The worst item we got was the Chicken Udon. I'm not sure how aany Asian restaurant could mess up such a staple dish, but in Daikon's case, it's because they used Japanese SOUP udon, not stir-fry udon. As soon as the plate was set, I could tell it was the wrong type of udon, and the udon was massively overcooked. Yes, there are different types of udon and they are meant to be cooked in different ways. They are identifiable by their shapes, storage needs and preparation needs, a memo Daikon clearly missed. Points for loading the dish with veggies, but eating them within the soggy mess of udon was just unpleasant.
