    As an LA local, I'm always skeptical about tacos here in the Big Apple. But I can say without a doubt these were incredible. It's unfathomable to me how empty this place was. I feel lucky to have gotten in on this secret before anyone else, but for the sake of the incredible people working here and incredible food they serve, as well as the beautiful outdoor seating, here you go. This place rules.

    I moved from Los Angeles, so I'm skeptical about some of the Mexican food in NY. I was pleasantly surprised with Ridgewood Taco Factory! The lunch specials are affordable, I got the Torta and my girl got the Enchilada with green sauce. My Torta was huge, fresh and delicious. It was easy to eat and didn't make a mess either, very well crafted! My girlfriend loved the Enchilada as well. Thank you Ridgewood Taco Factory!

    We stopped by Ocean Bay Restaurant for Sunday dim sum. The menu has all the typical dim sum…read morefavorites, and everything we ordered was satisfying. My favorite was the shrimp cheung fun--it's one of my go-to dim sum dishes, and this one did not disappoint. We also ordered from the menu the pan-fried noodles with beef, which came in a surprisingly large portion and was very tasty. Service was quick, and the food arrived without much wait. One thing to note is that the dining room feels a bit tight, especially with the traditional dim sum carts moving around the aisles. Parking was easy since there's free parking nearby, which is definitely a plus. Overall, while Ocean Bay wouldn't be my first choice for Sunday dim sum, it's a solid option if you're in the area or craving dim sum without a long wait.

Since we have relatives who live on opposite ends of Queens, this location has always been a good halfway point. Two things: 1. This place is truly exhausting during dim sum on the weekends. People will try to get on top of you (and I don't mean that in the best way). 2. Dim sum selection is intentionally small and service is slow to provoke you to order the expensive entree dishes. The dim sum is nothing to write home about at all and is just sufficient enough for any dim sum craving. There's no consistency with the quality, as well as the quantity. The same also goes for the large dishes, though I've only eaten dinner here once or twice since the new management, and there wasn't anything memorable. Service is generally okay, but the employees are definitely overworked during the weekend lunch hours. It's as if everyone who doesn't live in or around Flushing comes here, hence the insane crowds.

We had a few misses: The Eggplant and Salty Fish (2/5) the eggplant wasn't cooked long enough to achieve that desired soft texture, and the salty fish was overwhelmingly, salty. The Sweet and Sour Pork Chop (3/5) had potential, but each piece was sliced too thin and over fried, making the whole thing unnecessarily crispy instead of tender. The Fish Maw Soup (3/5) lacked the depth of flavor we were hoping for. Chicken fried rice (2.5/5): tasted like what you would expect, Americanized fried rice The Highlights: The Mayo Shrimp (3.5/5) was a better dish; we appreciated the nice crispiness, and it was an interesting take to serve the mayo on the side. The Snow Peas with Garlic (4/5) was perfectly executed, fresh and garlicky, a simple but standout veggie dish. FYI: cash only

The food has been consistently well-prepared and flavorful. Although the restaurant is small, they've always accommodated my large groups of 20-30 ppl. Great customer service! The ladies are always very friendly and efficient. Prices are reasonable and portions are large. Some standout dishes: -- West Lake Soup -- Peking Pork Chops -- Whole Roast Duck -- Salt & Pepper fried squid w.green chilies Note: entrees do not come with rice; $2/bowl. Plenty of metered street parking available right outside; or free street parking around the corner if you can find an available spot.

All their locations have pretty good ratings so I can't really go wrong. Came around 11am on a weekend and it was busy but there were tables available. The tables are arranged pretty strategically to fit as many as possible, which isn't the best for comfort. The service is nice here. The menu is in Spanish but they do have an English menu if you scan a QR code. I ordered the craken taco, costra taco, verde aguachile mixtos, a half dozen grilled shrimps, a la exotica, and guac with fried octopus. Everything was delicious! This place did not disappoint. Although, next time I'd probably skip the Craken taco and verde aguachile even though these two are a top recommendation. My favorite dish was probably the grilled shrimp. The way they grill it really brings out the sweetness and flavor of the shrimp. I personally enjoyed the la exotica more than the aguachile. The guac was also really good and the fried octopus was a good addition. I will definitely go to their other locations. This is a must try for seafood lovers.

Position are a bit small for a whole in the wall like this and prices are high especially on the tacos but that's because the quality seems really good and fresh and effort put into it. I will definitely try to come back And come early no reservations have to wait in lines cold or warm you will have to. Maybe they should open another spot or expand but that's their business .

We were sat quickly, treated to the usual bustling carnival of beef, lamb and chicken. In particular, thirty minutes into our Full Churrasco Service they took a moment from the usual garlic steak and bacon wrapped chicken for tender, red filet mignon and rib eye! We also added to our experience the bone marrow which was great! They also came around bearing charred pork belly and grilled cheese and hot honey. Staff were careful, kind, attentive and they remembered my preference for bloody rare steak! It really is an indulgence that I never regret.

The buffet table was smaller than at the TS location and there seemed to be less choices. But the thing we were most disappointed about was the inconsistency with service - we kept waiting for the meat to come to our table but we kept seeing the servers going to other tables (on the outsides, and we were in the middle part of the dining area), then leaving and therefore skipping us. It was not just one server but multiple servers, they clearly have a problem with making sure all tables get the same service or number of stops. We eventually had to flag down someone to ask to be served. The meat served was also mostly the cheaper cuts, even though it's a holiday and everyone in our party was playing full charcuterie experience price. We were all disappointed with the quality of the meat. I'll still go to Fogo but I'll not be coming back to this location for sure.

This time, we ordered the deluxe burger with fries and a side of mozzarella sticks both were really good! The food came out hot, flavorful, and satisfying. The service was great, the staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The atmosphere has a fun, casual vibe, kind of like a diner mixed with a bar. One side of the restaurant seems to be more of a party area, while the other side has that bar/diner feel. They also have an outside seating area. Theres a live band that plays, which adds to the energy, though I'm not sure which nights they perform. Overall, it's a solid spot for good food, great service, and a relaxed yet lively atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out especially if you like live music with your meal.

My coworkers were worrying about parking for the 4-5 hour party so I got worried as well (got meter parking the previous time). Good thing I drove around and found so many spots on a side street 2 blocks away. The tables were set up, leaving a small space at the far end for the food and dancing. Would have preferred dimmer lighting for dancing but it was fine. Brought our own speaker to play music. Buffet style for the salad and mains; appetizers were brought to the tables. Meatball apps were a bit salty. Liked the penne a la vodka, chicken francese and the steak. Service was still great. Had option of unlimited drinks/alcoholic drinks and they were brought quickly. Have to remember this place for parties. Or have drinks/eat in the other room where the bar is (I remember there was live music there).
