Salvatoria Kitchen and Bar is a great option if you're looking for a sit-down spot for pupusas. I…read morewas pleasantly surprised that the pupusas were still reasonably priced for a full-service restaurant and bar, at around $4 each. They offer a good variety of fillings. My favorite was the jalapeño and cheese, which have a nice kick to them. The yuca frita was crispy but not oily, and made for a great appetizer before the pupusas. We came during happy hour and took advantage of the drink specials. The red sangria and margaritas were only $8 a glass and they were both strong and tasty, though I preferred the sangria slightly more. The music at Salvatoria was great and made for a nice atmosphere, with current Latino hits playing in the background. My only note, and it's minor, is that the curtido wasn't as good as I've had at other places. They do give you a good amount, but it lacked some of the crunch and acidity that a great curtido needs to balance out the pupusas. Overall, Salvatoria Kitchen and Bar delivers on food, value, and atmosphere. The bill for four pupusas, two drinks, and an order of yuca frita came out to just $45 before tip.

Another place i got to check off from my "must go" list. I…read morehad never had pupusas nor picadas and this was life changing on so many level!!! I was already kind of full but the entrees we got were also very delicious. I wish I knew how to cook fish or chicken that juicy but keeping the outside crunchy-crispy. 10/10 for all the food. Idk why but the music was so upbeat and it kept me feel rushed for some reason but that might be just me! Haha The service was great, the water kept getting filled and they were very attentive. Would definitely come back again!

I'm sure I have had Colombian food before, but it has been quite a while and Barriles was my first…read moreauthentic "newer" Colombian place to try. Came here for a little small belated birthday dinner for a friend and we had a very nice time. We each just had a dish since we knew the portions are BIG. The menu is extensive and there was a lot to choose from. They even offer some Mexican and Italian dish options. I had the Grilled Skirt Steak (Monterey), which was SO BIG I had leftover for lunch the next day. :) the meat was pretty tender and juicy. The dish came with tostones (big) and rice. We were also served salads to start. What stands out a lot is the amazing service here. They are so polite, friendly, patient and helpful. The restaurant definitely seemed staffed properly which I suppose was a good thing because as the night progressed, the place filled up (for a Thursday night). My friends had the salmon and the Chicken Franchise. I took off just one star because they ended up charging my friends twice (but rectified the mistake), hopefully her funds will sort out. They also charge extra if you want to make any side substitutions... which isn't kind of crappy. The place is also beautifully decorated and spacious. Will def be back very soon! Next time we'll partake in an adult beverage maybe :)

This has been my spot for many years for happy hours, dinner and to watch soccer games…read more It is a large restaurant so you can usually find a spot at the bar or at a table. But when there are big soccer events, it can get very packed. I especially like their frozen passion fruit margarita because it is sweet and strong with a tajin rim. All of their food is delicious, especially their picada which comes with a variety of meat; chicken, chicharrón, sausage and potato. The chicharrón is always crunchy and all the dipping sauces pair so well with everything in the picada. The vibe inside the restaurant is always very fun with good music playing in the background and the bar always has very friendly staff. If you are ever in the Jackson heights area, you should give them a try.

I discovered this spot, despite living here basically my entire life, while doing a bar crawl and…read morecraving something at 1 in the morning. Walking in, immediately, the atmosphere was lively and everyone seemed to be having a good night with drinks and karaoke. This spot seems to have karaoke by their bar section quite a bit at night, especially on the weekends. Although a slight language barrier, our waitress was an absolute doll and she made such a great effort trying to understand our minimal spanish. She was super sweet and was checking on us regularly. The drinks came out pretty immediately, though I will say they are a bit heavy handed with the alcohol. Wasn't a big fan of the piña colada, as it tasted like only rum and no actual pineapple/coconut, but the other drinks looked pretty interesting. The actual food though, oh my goodness. It was genuinely so amazing that I came back the next day to have it again for lunch. The fish tacos are to die for. The tilapia is nice and soft on the inside, and crispy on the outside. Despite so many fried items, nothing felt too greasy and that's what really tied it together. The flavors in the items are impeccable, and I highly recommend anyone to go here. They're open pretty late on the weekends so definitely grab a bite before heading home.

I never felt this stretch of Roosevelt was the most vibrant, but it's gotten a little brighter…read morethanks to La Casa de Julia. The food is on par with what one would expect in this part of NYC, but it is one of the more versatile Mexican establishments in this part of Woodside. Once past the bright lights, the restaurant is deceivingly spacious with a bar and plenty of tables. The staff primarily speaks in Spanish and the crowd as usually locals from the neighborhood. Prices are somewhere in the middle. From a food perspective, it's solid. Their tacos are on par with most of the restaurants in the vicinity. It's neither outstanding nor terrible but they are the perfect complement to their variety of drinks from micheladas to margaritas. The place is a very different experience for people who are coming to party, watch soccer, or enjoy with a group. Even though I think their Tex-Mex nachos are a near abomination, It actually works quite well when paired with any of their drinks. Their enchiladas are poblano appropriate, with a decent portion of refried beans and rice. Their menu is actually quite vast with plenty of Mexican classics. Their guacamole appetizer has nice chunks of avocado and good seasoning. Finish it all with some of their signature churros and life isn't so bad. They have free delivery and this place is both empty and busy all within the same night. If there's a good futbol match on and the drinks are flowing, I would be keen to order a spread out here and leave having had a good time. Julia's house is definitely fun if one makes the most of it.

Food is really good, easily some of the best on this block (and in this immediate neighborhood). It's a relatively small spot but I love that. Food-wise I specifically love their arepas, skewers, the burgers and their appetizers - OH and their sauces. They have 6 housemade sauces and they're all delicious. The drinks here are also really creative and fun. They're a family-owned spot and you can tell they put a lot of love into everything they do. I don't know what it was like before, but I'm really glad they've re-opened. I did also go recently with a friend to enjoy a round of cocktails...it's $34 for a round of 2 cocktails which in this neighborhood is excessive - but just a heads up. There is a happy hour that's weekdays only - just FYI.
