“What a great little Latin restaurant in town. Stopped in for lunch with a buddy and we were greeted by a girl with a beautiful smile who didn't speak a word of English. Using the magic of social media and yelp we communicated very well and ordered steak tacos and pupusas. The food was delicious and we had a fantastic meal.The restaurant has about 10 tables and a great menu to choose from.Thank you to our waitress for taking a great care of us.“

“wanted to check out a speakeasy while in town and came across the newsroom on tiktok, due to their “stuff your own empanada experience”. nestled in a quiet area of queens, with easy access.lovely speakeasy ambiance with an aerialist performer & live vocal performances. the music they play is all jazzy covers of hit songs, so it fits the vibe so well.the empanadas and the filet mignon taquitos, were so tasteful and delicious.they give you a very decent amount of time to be there, in order to make room for more people. our server Alberto couldn’t have been kinder and more accommodating to our preferences & needs while there.would recommend this to anyone looking for a laid back speakeasy outside of the hustle and bustle of the major city or times square.“
“Most food is great (sandwiches, salteñas, drinks, desserts) but certain things (like mac and soup) need SALT. The rice pudding is quite sweet but good if you eat warm. The portion size is laughable though.... like 3.5-4oz. Prices are about $1-2 higher than you expect for each item. Fried chicken sandwich is starting to taste like it's fried in old oil. And on the BLP website delivery is free BUT you are still hit with a $3.50 "service fee", which is the restaurant's for using a delivery service. But on Grubhub+ the same service fee applies AND prices food is higher! So even with free delivery it will be higher. I ended up paying over $40 for food for 1. Service is great, music is great, even if loud. I hope they create a better price point for the neighborhood they serve and make the sides as good as the main stuff!“
“For an upscale vibe Peruvian place, this is the spot. Been here multiple times and the food is great with the downstairs vibes giving you upscale without needing to be all dressed up.The ceviche is a must get, as well as the jalea which is the fried seafood platter, Juanita’s chicken (very tender and not dry at all), as well as the lomo saltado (top pick for non-seafood ppl) which is the wok fried beef chunks and veggies. The prices are higher but the portions align with price paid in my opinion. Their green sauce is good and can be used on anything.Drinks were strong and tasty. Staff were friendly and bathroom was clean.“
“I recently attended a dinner in one of the private dining spaces and it was absolutely fantastic! The dining space was formerly a law office and it had a very intimate, homey feel. The staff at Comodo made the night very special, from the impeccable service to the thoughtfully curated menu.“
“Really good food and aesthetic atmosphere! Loved the nachos and quesadillas it was really fresh and delicious! Jessie was our server and she was very attentive and made sure we are okay at all times. It was my birthday and I really enjoyed celebrating here!“
“This place was really amazing. Me and my friends did a brunch. The food was fantastic the drinks were delicious. We really had a great time. The waitress treated us really good and she was always coming around to see if we needed anything. Thank you so much Maria for your service.“
“chicken empanadas to start were out of this world! lobster soup and steak were so tasty steak cooked to perfection! staff amazing, so friendly and welcoming especially when they found out we are from Scotland! chatted with lady behind bar, sorry cant remember your name who has visited Scotland many times! fab!“
“Nice cozy place to go with someone. Lots of classics on the menu. If you’re a fan of Argentinian food you will notice a lot of overlap, although this may be a controversial statement. The Provoleta was really satisfying and the Chivito was as I was expecting.“
“Visited here three times now (both brunch and dinner) and had a lovely experience each and every time. Enjoyed good food in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.Had a different server each time but service was consistently attentive, kind, and efficient as possible. Noticed that it always seems to be one person working the front of the restaurant at a time so when it gets busy they really hustle.Wanted to try the homemade banana bread because of the good reviews but they didn’t have any. Betty recommended a dessert that resembled a plantain donut filled with a sweet bean paste and it was really yummy!It’s clear that the owners put a lot of love into the food and care about the community around them. Highly recommend.“
“A different venture from your regular Dykman experience. It is an intimate, sophisticated culinary experience inspired by owner Felix Abarca's birthplace Ecuador. Fusing rich flavors found in Ecuadorian cuisine with its food and beverage program they offer an experience in the shape of a glass or plate.Staff is always inviting and on point. Place is always immaculate and organized. Live music on the weekends by local artist or even the bartender "extrangero music" is always of great taste and not too loud.Pop-up and collaborations with chefs or bartenders happen regularly.The amazing wine list is unique and curated by a great connoisseur and wine enthusiast, the owner Felix.The coziness of this place is what makes it even more special.“
“The food had so much flavor and variety. Hot bar and food made to order! Music and atmosphere on point. We had empanadas (green sauce is a MUST TRY) we also had Sancocho with white rice . Too many options. Most beautiful decolonized menu, space, and atmosphere. Art is mind blowing. Friendly staff !“
“We are so blessed to have such a wonderful restaurant so close by! Claudy’s is always such a treat…Vegetarian options: Rice and beans and verde and veggie empanadas for the win!Kid-friendliness: My grandson always asks for empanada night!“
“First time on this place,we were celebrating my friend's Birthday, the food was super Delicious,( ordered a churrasco medium well and a lychee Martini) we all ordered different things and were agree with the Great taste of it. The attention was 5 stars.Is not a big place but we were comfortable everything was clean and I was in love with the decoration. Definitely I will go again with my Family.The only problem is the parking on the area,so I recommend go by Cab.“
“I only ordered what my grandmother would make so that I could compare and have that home-cooking comfort! Nothing is ever as good as grandma’s cooking, but needless to say this is close #2!!! Arroz con gandules, mofongo with pernil, and alcapurria was my favorite but you cannot go wrong with anything. A small, cash only place that has a true homey neighborhood feel. Just waiting to go back!“
“A bit out of the way in Long Island City but totally worth the visit if you want to have some of the best ceviche in your life. Get the mixed ceviche with tostones and ask for extra green sauce, it is out of this world. Their Noodles and Cheese soup is also amazing!“
“Comida Buenisima... Lo único tienes que pedir los platos iguales como estan en la carta... Eramos 4 y nos cobraron 5 platos... Deberian de cambiar esto no todas las personas pueden comer el plato exacto como lo tienen... ppr un mofongo aparte nos cobraron el plato del mofongo completo...“
“We had a holiday dinner event..I decided to cater food from Los Amigos due to their reviews...how close it was from work.The food was Dedelicious... we all loved and enjoyed the rice... the chicken..wings... Empandas, everything was just delicious!I place we look forward to going on our lunch break now as well!!Thank you for such delicious food!“
“Food amazing, staff amazing, hospitality amazing. Everything was very fresh, seafood cooked perfectly and the corn nuts are fun. Came with a large party and Tito took care of us, if you’re on the fence about dining here, you shouldn’t be.“
“First off the staff are amazing - warm and friendly. Like you just walked into someone’s home. They patiently guided us through the menu, and brought out frozen glasses with our perfectly chilled beer. Ordered the chicken and pork stews with a side of plantains, everything was delicious. Almost made 5 stars - could have been slightly less salty and it would’ve!“
“This was an amazing experience. My family is originally from Chile, the dishes were delicious and authentic, the wine was excellent and I can say enough about the torta mil hoja(dessert). I went with a large party and the staff was wonderful about give recommendations. Excellent experience.Kid-friendliness: My child is 10 not a picky eater. Enjoyed everything“
“Everything was excellent, the truth is that every time we come they serve us very well, the drinks are delicious and the food is not to mention, 10/10, it is always our stop! A super comfortable place to eat, drink and dance, Jairo is an excellent waiter!“
“We were walking through Central Park and decided to stop at a random place for a beer and restroom and found this gem. The beer was great, the cocktails were great, the sangria was great, and the service was phenomenal- warm, welcoming, and generous. We'll definitely be back for rhe food later, everything passing by us looked delicious“
“Amazing food. Just simply amazing. Bewitching even. Came here on a Tuesday night (not exactly a going out night) and pretty early too around 6:30 or so. Ordered seafood and the name sake of the restaurant: The Octopus. What arrived was an obscenity of deliciousness. Tentacle was very large with garnish of the Parsnip Puree. It was incredibly soft and tasty. Our server Alejandra was was great and very knowledgeable and made suggestions that were right on point. Guacamole, Lobster Taquitos, Ceviche, my god those were delicious! But the key was the namesake of the restaurant. Octopus was not just delicious it was obscenely so! Cocktails were great even though I don't particularly like them (I think that straight up drink is better). And then to top it all off were the Churros. Best ones I've had since Spain and they were missing the melted chocolate (that might be a great idea).One thing though I didn't count on were the musicians. They just add so much to the ambiance of the place, so if you visit make sure you have some cash on hand. You probably will need it.“
“What a blast! The food, the atmosphere, the service and wow the drinks! We were killing time to head back home and met up with family that were already there. The fried shrimp dumplings was so good! And the wings!? Wow! The drinks by far were the highlight of the night. Were definitely going back with some time to chill.“
“This place doesn't disappoint, even late at night. It is my favorite place to go after going out in the West Village. Get the arepas, the steak, drinks, etc. It's all good. Late night they also play music which makes for an even funnier experience.“
“‘The Freakin Rican’ rocks! I got a Pernil Sandwich with fries and a Guanabana drink. I loved how warm the food was and how natural the drink was. The Spanish music was amazing. The atmosphere was amazing. I even loved the aesthetic of the restaurant! Definitely planning to comeback??!“
“The chicken tikka masala and the naan feels authentic and is just a comforting but binge worthy meal to have. Their tandoori chicken wings are quite good as well. The naan tacos are better than the roti tacos cuz the rotis just disintegrate when you add all the toppings. Love all their chutneys as well!“
“The food was amazing! Great mix of Latin cuisine with unique flavors and fresh ingredients. The service was excellent, friendly staff. I was with my dog and it was easy to get a table outdoors.We ordered the pre-fixed menu for two: great amount of food worth the money. I loved the rice with chicken, the tuna tart and the churros were awesome, the chocolate was delicious.The music and atmosphere was great. I’ll definitely come back.“
“Overall rating: 4.7My friend recommended this place to me claiming (!) they have really good espresso martinis. I was a bit cautious because they have such high ratings. From the outside, it looks like it’s just going to be a tourist spot.But going inside was a very different experience. The decor is so much fun and the vibe is awesome. Definitely brought some energy up which was needed. I sat at the bar and the bartender was really nice and still left me alone.The espresso martini was good & I had a chicken sandwich which was amazing. Total price of $35 including tip hurt a little, but that’s the city we live in now. I’d go back again if I’m in the area needing a place to hang. Highly recommend!“
“Chucho's Hot Dogs is a great place to grab a delicious and creative hot dog. Their menu offers classic options alongside signature creations, with high-quality ingredients. They even allow for customization so you can build your own hot dog exactly how you like it. If you're looking for a fun and flavorful hot dog experience, Chucho's Hot Dogs is definitely worth checking out!“
“So glad we tried this hidden gem for the first time. The host couldn't have been friendlier and the ambience is relaxed, homey and adorable. Homemade guac, salsa and chips were delish and we went with his dinner recommendations which did not disappoint. The fact it's a BYOB is a bonus. We'll totally be back with a larger group.“
“I think this place must have completely changed their menu, because it was absolutely not Cuban, except for an empanada appetizer and plantain sides. It was expensive New American. The description and images are wrong. Look at the latest menu before deciding to go here.“
“The food is AMAZING !!! was a last minute thing and we are so happy we went ! Taste so authentic, and family owned. Out family had an amazing time ! Fries , Barria tacos , horchata, burritos.. all recommended! We will be back to try there pupusas. “
“I went there for my mom Bday and I came back for a farewell dinner with a big group of latinas talking at the same time ??? … food, atmosphere and service was so great!! They also have live Paraguayan Typical music with an “Arpa” … we really recommend it !!! thank so much I love Paraguay team !!????❤️“
“they have a great menu of foods. there burritos are so amazing and filling. other than there menu food they also have freshly made dinners that are so mouthwatering. any foody would love this place and there portions are very genrous and not expensive at “
“We went in the early morning and it was an excellent place for after the party, there are always a lot of people because there is also takeout but there are several tables inside, the staff is friendly and the service is fast, the taste is also very good although the fruit water is not It is so rich but everything else is very good.“
“Dropped in here a few weeks ago for some drinks and catching up with my friend that lives nearby. I think I had passed this a bunch of times in my adventures of going to Jackson Heights but never checked it out. One perk automatically, there's a check in special of a complimentary glass of Sangria! I haven't seen a check-in special in you don't know how long. It was really exciting. I went with the red sangria and then later ordered their take on a smoked old fashioned. Both were very potent and delicious. The aroma of the old fashioned was amazing. We also ended up getting a flan desert. Now this is going to sound ridiculous but I normally hate flan and this was really delicious. It had a texture that wasn't too jiggly and just creamy surrounded with beautiful strawberries and layered with caramel. It was almost more like a custard and I'll take custardy flan over jello flan every day. Their menu and brunch menu sounds delicious and would definitely think about coming back to try more.“
“Mia was great first time coming to this spot and I enjoyed it, the mimosa was hitting ! Definitely a spot to come back tooVegetarian options: Good options for all food choicesParking: Weekend parking will be perfect or you can get on the meter“
“Delicious and fabulous service! The service workers recommended the passion fruit tres leches and it was fabulous; the passion fruit layer added some tartness to the otherwise sweet cake.Out of abundant generosity they also gifted me a piece of their traditional tres leches cake. It was also delicious but definitely more sweet, without the fruit layer. Recommended with coffee!“
“This place is spectacular, I have no complaints with the service at all you can eat, as on other occasions where I have had the experience of ordering à la carte, come to Bonfire to have a very good time, stop by here to celebrate a birthday and they congratulated my junior classmate with a piece of 3 leches which was very delicious.“
“Wow, what an amazing restaurant. My husband and I loved it and we were delighted with the delicious homemade food. The empanadas were incredible and our main plates were excellent. I wished I knew about this place earlier.All the food is homemade and very fresh.Wow is my feedback today. Love it.The owners were very nice and warmth, costumer service high level as well.“
“We tried the pabellón criollos (traditional Venezuelan breakfast) and pan con bistec guaro (Venezuelan steak sandwich), as well as the agua fresca de flor de Jamaica (Costa Rican sorrel wine, non alcoholic). Great dishes with a warm brunch ambiance.“
“Small, cozy atmosphere with yummy food and drinks. Guacamole was fresh, chips crisp. Chuleta al pastor amazing with its pineapple jam, moro and shaved brussel sprouts salad. The corn was yummy. I expected the maple maduros to be sweeter because of the maple but they were regular maduros which was still perfectly fine. Tamarind margarita and mezcal drink were perfect. I will definitely recommend and be back.“
“Came by for an early dinner on a Saturday night. This place is a little outside the busy main Astoria area. The outside looks very minimalistic you wouldn't know it's Peruvian just passing by. From the drinks to the entree, everything was tasty and portioned well although slightly on the pricier side. One cocktail, fruit drink, arepa small dish, ceviche mixto, and entree came out to $100 after tip.“
“My husband and I had dinner at Libelulu last week and it was great! The service couldn’t be better and the food was delicious. We started with the ceviche, had Ropa Vieja and chicken entrees and rice pudding for dessert. I highly recommend!“
“I have been coming here for the last 2 years and there hasn’t been a better service than Kathy she is more than welcoming, Kathy has been more than welcoming and up to service. I can rate her the best employee here, the last 2 years. Sebastian has also provided nothing but the best customer service For three years. this place is the best not only in customer service but in all aspects. If you’re looking for good food, drinks & food this is the place to be.“
“Everything we had was absolutely delicious and so beautifully presented. The birria torta was incredible. The chicken sandwich was crispy and juicy in all the right ways. I loved the seasonal cocktails as well. Can't wait to come back and try brunch!“
“This is genuinely good Guatemalan food. We had the beef soup and ordered steak also but the portions of meat in the soup was so generous we didn’t even get too the steaks so we took them home. Service was very friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere was very informal. Some guys were watching soccer on the big screen tv and others were sitting alone, no one bothered anyone. I’m definitely going back for that soup as the winter sets in harder.Parking: It’s general street parking with meters I believe are only active on weekdays“
