Casa Enrique 5-48 49th Ave, Long Island City Mexican • $$$
5-48 49th Ave, Long Island City

“Really good carne asada tacos (5/5), brisket tacos (4.5/5)! The carne asada in the tacos was incredible - moist, flavorful, and very umami packed without being chewy. Really good. The brisket was great they have you a LOT for the filling. The mile enchiladas were okay (4/5) - the mole sauce was good but the chicken inside was very chewy.”

“This place is an absolute staple. I’ve been here many times but I felt compelled to leave a review after having this lamb shank and garlic chicken. The food has always been on point and the ambience is quaint. Although it’s only steps from the Vernon stop on the 7 train, it never feels overwhelming in terms of noise or foot traffic. Peaceful, savory, and welcoming.”

“This corner location makes it ideal for people watching on those busy LIC streets. We made a reservation but there was still a little bit of a wait for our table. There were mixed reviews on the food:Pros: the salad, chicken & pancakes, breakfast platter, apple cider mimosasCons: shrimp & grits, biscuits, bacon.I would put the food rating lower but the people I dined with enjoyed their food so much more than I did. The service was pretty good.Kid-friendliness: The have an indoor spot for strollers and have high chairs.”

“The service is the best, everyone was very attentive and they all knew that we were there for a special occasion and multiple people came over to congratulate. The squid ink pasta had a nice kick and good amount of shrimp. The zuppa de pesce special had a lot of seafood with a nice tomato base. Stuffed mushrooms very tasty. The portions were plentiful. For dessert we had the warm molten chocolate cake. And the coffee - strong with a rounded flavor - delicious! I will return again and again. It gets quite loud especially when the doors/windows are closed. I'd love to come back in the summer when it's all opened up.”

FUYU RAMEN 4617 Queens Blvd, Long Island City Ramen • $$
4617 Queens Blvd, Long Island City

“boyfriend and i’s occasional date spot, soup is always rich compared to more authentic ramen shops but sometimes im in the mood for a food coma lol. service is good and the place can really fill up over nights and weekends. alcohol section pairs well with the food well but can be a bit pricey. they have a good lunch special going through the week if you’re available in the morning and early afternoon time, and its conveniently right next to a gelato store for dinner and dessert.one thing that bugs me is how damn tight the tables are together, you will try getting up from your booth and stick ya butt right in someones dinner or visa versa. not great and perhaps they sacrifice a table or so for a more accessible space for diners.”

Sami's Kabab House LIC 47-38 Vernon Blvd, Long Island City Afghan • $$
47-38 Vernon Blvd, Long Island City

“Amazing service at Sami’s Kabab House LIC!! Me and my friends (group of 5) came here after class to break our fast during Ramadan and it was such an amazing experience. Service was courteous, fast, and excellent, we were seated immediately and given refreshments. We got the family combo, and each bite was perfection. Every kebab, especially the chicken tikka and lamb shank was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. Their kabuli pulao is also 10/10, some of the best I’ve had hands down! You can tell the owner takes real pride in what they do! It’s in an excellent neighborhood and I think everyone should come by and try this place. Worth every single penny spent, and I can’t stop recommending it enough. You’ve won our hearts Sami’s Kabab House, and we will definitely be back!! ❤️”

The seasonings were perfect and not overly spiced, the plate was affordable and filling, and it came out fast. The restaurant is like a banquet style setup so good for casual dinners or celebrations, it is a little bit of a smaller space though.Highly recommend this spot!”

“My fiancé and I have been walking past this location for over a year and finally found the time to go in. Once we walked in and noticed that there seemed to be a lot of “regulars” that knew the staff, we knew were in a good place! The food and service is fantastic. Everything that we had was full of flavor and melted in your mouth. We started with the stuffed green plantains with shredded beef and then had the Lechon Asado con mojo criollo and Rib eye steak with a side of sweet plantains. The staff is very friendly and attentive. They were very appreciative of our compliments. The only thing we regret is not going in there sooner!side note: the skirt steak must be very good because 5/6 people next to us ordered it for their dinner!”
