    Maduros, Green Plantains, Rotisserie chicken
    Dave K.

    One of my favorites Mexican Peruvian restaurants. Always attentive advice, inviting space and a full menu of delicious dishes. Highly recommend the rotisserie chicken, tostones, and guacamole.

    I stopped by here for a quick lunch after a doctor's appointment, and it was wonderful. I got their Bistec a lo pobre lunch special, and boy was it a lot of food. There was a small steak, eggs, fries, plantains, a small side salad and a drink. There were a few tables filled when I arrived, mostly smaller parties and a one other solo diner. It made me feel a bit relieved seeing there was another solo diner besides myself! From the time I sat down to when I got my food, it was about 15 minutes, so not too long. The service was quick and efficient, and none of the waiters/waitresses ever rushed anyone. I'm not usually in the area so I wasn't familiar with what's good in the area, but I'm happy I stopped by Riviera Maya for lunch. It was a pleasant surprise to a great afternoon.

    This was one of the worst Mexican Peruvian fusion restaurants we have been to in Astoria. Everything, was off from the bland food we received to the wait service. The empanadas were not fresh. My quesadilla with fries was just plain awful. We had to wait endlessly for service and out seating arrangement was uncomfortable to say the least. Only the decor and ambiance was We had to wait endlessly for service, and our seating arrangement was uncomfortable, to say the least. We will not be back

    Service and food always impeccable. I was craving seafood and opted for a whole fried fish that did not disappoint! The sides it came with was an avocado salad with tostones and it was an excellent combination. My boyfriend got the mole poblano with steak and he loved it! He is very picky when it comes to mole, and it's all he gets when he goes there so that says a lot! We always get a pitcher of sangria because it's delish! Their 2-go drinks by the way are SO worth it! Strong and delicious :) try their guava mojito - believe you me you will not be disappointed! You are welcome, and cheers! ~Susan

    We have been wanting to come here for a little while now, always see it when im walking on steinway in the neighborhood. Its our Date Night so we decided on this place which has outdoor dining. Service was excellent & prompt, the food was really good and the drinks were tasty & strong just like i like my men lol. We ordered the beef saltado & the salmon and shared both. The beef was really good, the salmon was nothing special. But good For an appetizer we got the octopus which was a little gummy but tasty. We got the mango mojitos. The plates are big and you def get full Had some serious ittus afterwards. Our bill came out to about $100. Not too bad. Great experience overall.The real vegetables growing in the garden outside was really cute. Hey, at least you know its fresh.

    My second time having dinner here. The drinks are great (for the most part) and the food is simply scrumptious. Today we had the Roco Maya, enough food for two guys who like to eat. The bottom of the dish had salsa verde which was the cherry on top of this already flavorful meal. The first time we had ceviche mixto and the skirt steak with vegetables. All mouth watering. We will definitely make this a regular spot. They have a lunch special as well, might be worth checking out. Service was attentive too! Overall: I recommend it.

I haven't been to their other locations in the city, but this was really quite good. My recommendations are the El Gobernador, The Cracken, an aguachile (mango habanero is my fave) and the tuna toastada. The Ceviches are quite boring in my opinion, so go for an aguachile instead. DRinks are great, they have cantaritos and carajillos. What could go wrong if you've got both to choose from. Service is friendly and the ambiance is authentic mexican food plus air condiditoning. We'll be back.

Our server was extremely friendly and helpful, and she was happy to answer all of our questions about the menu. The fish was fresh, and the ceviche was solid, although there was no wow factor. The standout for me was the Molcajete Norteño, the fried octopus with guacamole, which was delicious. The most annoying part of the experience was when a kid came in and turned the music up extremely loud, then started singing a solo and going around asking everyone for tips afterward. We gave him $3 for his effort, but honestly, it was more loud and annoying than entertaining. I'm not even sure if he worked there or was just someone who came in off the street. Overall, the food was solid and the service was friendly, but I'm not exactly counting down the days until my next visit.

They offer a different special for any day of the week, first time around on a Thursday Margaritas special , Tamarind & Mango nice big glass great margaritas, good tasty & nice & strong They start u off with some cake pieces, has a banana bread taste very good. Apps , we tried the Tostones con Birria very good great tasting meat & Chorizo Mac & cheese , also very good. Main dishes , Al pastor tacos & Chicken Burrito were both very good. Next time we stopped by for brunch, we got the bottomless option tried the Sangrita white, good sangrita price wise makes sense assuming u drinking more than 3-4 glasses a person. On the food Carnitas Benedict & short rib hash were both very tasty. For dessert gave the Tres Leches a try not bad, just the right amount of sweet. Another brunch visit & we tried Paloma spritz, good & Mexican coffee, pretty strong in taste. Chicken & waffles topped with bacon, very good chicken good combo dish. & the Lady's enchiladas great taste the enchiladas w the green sauce & cheese on top. Good size restaurant, small bar area towards the back, simple but colorful decor. Service overall has been good, they are attentive. Reasonable prices & u get a decent amount of food.

My only complaint for the esquite was that it had a little too much water and mayo but other than that, the corn was sweet and all the seasoning was perfect and hit the spot! The main reason why this is one of my go to places now though is because of the smoothies. I haven't been too often just yet but the smoothies that I have tried from then so far have been absolutely perfect. I am just glad that I found this spot as the weather is getting warmer because I know I will be craving smoothies more often. The place is quite small and it was quite dim when I went in. They do have a couple of tables and seats as well. The service was also great. They were very sweet and our items came out in a timely manner.

    2nd order from Tacos y jugos via Uber Eats…read more We ordered flautas, burritos and tostones. Each suffered from condensation between packing time and delivery time. We also ordered elote which is rolled up in tin foil. It was spicy for my palate and the crumbly cheese was okay. Just wasn't for my taste at all. But corn cleared my palate for the next bite. The rice in the burrito was undercooked. Some part of the grain was crunchy, but my boyfriend didn't notice it. I think I'll give this place another try.
