    Love coming here! After every Mets game this is our spot! Food is consistently tasty, well prepared and delicious! I love coming here with my friends and family and look forward to keep coming back for the next family get-together or just because. Service here is friendly and efficient. The ambiance is fun and family friendly! Highly recommend!

    Friendly service, good Mexican food. I had the Al Pastor Combo, rice and beans and niece had two chicken tacos. Shout out to the lack of red/green sauce they put into the little plastic cups, esta por la mitad, Guey! My drink was really good and nice and strong. See pics posted!

    Popped in here for a pre Hella Mega concert meal. Service was a bit spotty as we had a language barrier, as the young waitresses spoke only Mexican and I , unfortunately, do not. As an example, my double vodka and orange juice came out in two glasses. Fortunately, both glasses had a strong pour. I had the steak and fried shrimp while my buddy had the beef ribs. We both agreed the food was good. I would pop back in for a meal and drinks next time I'm Citi Field for a show or game.

    Stopped by here after flying in to LGA. Good food. Strong drinks. Friendly staff. Good option if you're traveling in or out of the airport and dont want to eat there. There is a good amount of seating and I was able to get some work done. Only downside is I had to ask them for a few things and the food took a while (there were only 2-3 tables) but it could be they were just giving me space to work ‍

    Pollo asada tostados. Wow!

    This is a lovely, quiet restaurant and bar. Lots of TVs and several families with children were present for a late lunch. A single guy, sitting near us ordered the BIGGEST bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup I have ever seen in my life. It. Looked. S-O good!! The bar was very handsome - lengthy, quartz topped with high backed bar chairs. Many beers to choose from plus a full bar. The servers were busy making margaritas - mmmmm - margaritas.... Our server spoke no English, which didn't bother us one bit! She was friendly and seemed very kind - it was quite fun struggling (honestly - it was FUN!!) to communicate using sign language and pointing to photos in the vast menu. We ordered the grilled cactus which was really interesting! Soft in texture, it was presented with a lovely garnish of thinly sliced radishes and welcomed sliced cucumbers. The cactus was not super flavorful, so with some salt and their dynamite house prepared salsa, we achieved the heat and tastiness hit the mark. We ordered Tostadas. The appearance could not have been better - nope - the presentation was perfecto!! My hubbie's chicken choice was far better than mine. I opted for grilled carne/beef. Ouch - tough as leather. There was a bit of yummy involved, but I could not get over the texture of the beef. No good. The staff was super friendly. The design and decor was muted and comfortable. We will give it another go!

    5 stars! These Quesabirria tacos are seriously the best. I've tried them from all over but I think I'll rank these as my new fave. Ambience is good. Horchata refreshing

    The food made me and my wife sick. My wife actually vomited in the car on the way home from the restaurant. Would only buy drinks. Hard to find parking and was a language barrier. One time was enough for me.

    Our meal. Cactus, Salmon and mole, fajita, plantains, rice and beans.

    I really enjoyed my experience here. Came with a friend, and we were seated quickly. It seems very authentic and many of the workers don't seem to speak English. However that's not a problem. In fact I see that as a bonus since I figure that means the food is much more authentic. One of the guys, he seemed like the manager, was super super nice and he did speak English. He explained a lot of what was on the menu. I ordered grilled cactus, Salmon and moly sauce, fajitas, sweet plantains, and the meal came with rice and beans. I thought everything was flavorful and tasty. The cactus perhaps had the least flavor, but I think that's because cactus just doesn't have much flavor. I really enjoyed their mole sauce. Salmon was cooked well -- still moist. Prices were good, too!

    Let's go METS

    Solid fast delivery, even during lunch hours rush. The portion is generous and the flavor is quite decent as well.

    We went here before a Mets game especially because of the close proximity to the stadium.

    This spot is awesome! After the Mets games we come here for a sunset drink and a nice flank steak…read more I love their Wednesday specials. This rooftop in queens is class and doesn't break the bank. The servers are always super fun and sweet. Crishen always makes me laugh. Place has great energy! Food drinks and sunsets! Oh and a DANCE FLOOR on the weekends.

    If I could give this place zero stars, I would. At first, I…read morewas excited to try this location and celebrate my friends birthday . Jimmy, the owner, initially seemed very nice and helpful. Unfortunately, the experience ended up being extremely disappointing. I booked a birthday gathering for 12 people. I was told there was a $40-per-person deposit, which was non-refundable, and that this amount would be applied as a credit toward food and drinks ordered during the event. My deposit totaled $480. I was also told there would be a 20% tip, which Jimmy said would be $95 in cash on the day of the event. The establishment also promoted drink specials, including happy hour from 5-8 PM and a buy-one-get-one promotion. However, when we arrived, those advertised deals were not honored. The biggest issue came when we received the bill. The bartending staff was extremely rude and unprofessional when I questioned charges on the receipt. We were being charged what appeared to be double amounts for certain items, along with an additional tip/fee. When I questioned the charges, the bartender argued with me and even threatened to call the police if I did not pay the additional amount. According to the receipt, the additional tip and fees brought the charges to approximately $525, despite our $480 deposit and the fact that we did not receive the drink specials that had been advertised. The food was also extremely disappointing. I ordered a steak with fries, as did several of my friends. The steaks were so poorly prepared that we had to send them back to be cooked again. Even after they were returned, the steak was still extremely hard and chewy. Let's keep in mind this was finger bar food that shouldn't have cost the amount we were being charged. The food was nowhere near the quality I would expect for the amount of money we spent. There also appeared to be no security or management present to properly handle the situation. When I called Jimmy during the situation to express my concerns and explain what happened, instead of listening and attempting to resolve the issue, he yelled at me over the phone. It's escalate the situation even more. Overall, this was one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. Between the advertised promotions not being honored, questionable charges, poor-quality food, rude and unprofessional service, and the way my concerns were handled by management, I would not recommend this place. For a birthday celebration with 12 people, spending close to $1,000 for poor food and terrible service was absolutely unacceptable. I expected much better and left feeling completely disappointed and taken advantage of. Three different receipts and I'm still confused.
