Came by for early dinner on a Saturday evening, place was pretty empty, but looked nice. The bartender was very nice, and the drinks were good. Our server was also very sweet and attentive. Food was okay, a bit salty all around. Ordered an assortment of things: calamari, guacamole & chips, wings, yuca fries and shrimp fried rice. The guacamole was delicious. There was a lot of art, which is dope. Music was a bit too loud, but overall a good time.

Delicious food. Good vibes. Loud music. Great drinks. Prices on the higher end with smaller portions. Service was top notch. Server was very attentive. Never had to wave him down for refills or anything.

Cantina 33 seems to be a hidden gem amongst brunch spots! Went on a Sunday around 1:00 PM for a late brunch. We had the place to ourselves which we were surprised by! The decor is really cool and the music could've been my exact playlist. Lots of early 2000's r&b and hiphop so the vibe was perfect. Service was friendly and efficient! We opted for the bottomless brunch. For only $40 which includes sangria or mimosas, an appetizer, and an entree, I thought it was a great deal. Our server offered us pitchers if we would be sticking with our drinks, which we did so that was greatly appreciated. The appetizers were tasty! Really enjoyed the arepita sliders. I think the move for an entree is the steak and eggs. You get a sizeable portion and the flavor was good. Nothing particularly mind blowing but everything satisfied and I was just again surprised that the place wasn't busier. I'd love to come back for another chill, boozy brunch!

Guac & Chips

What a cute little gem we stumbled upon in Ridgewood. I came here with a friend for dinner during the weekday and there was plenty of seating without needing a reservation. Food and drinks were great, the portions could have been better given the price but the service was also solid. The decor was very artsy and Instagrammable in an intimate setting.

Rotisserie Chicken

I probably will never order again from here but idk who told the chef this is rotisserie chicken. It looks boiled and undercooked, the skin was rubbery and questionable. I appreciate that grubhub refunds because I had to throw this out.

Pisco Punch ($8 HH)

Nice spot for some good drinks and a quick bite! A friend and I stopped in on Monday at 4:30pm for a quick hangout. There was only 1 other person inside sitting at the bar as I believe they had just opened at 4. Carlos the bartender greeted us right away and seated us! He was super friendly and attentive, he gave us good suggestions and feedback, and made us feel very welcomed. It's not a big spot but it's nice and cozy with adequate enough seating/space. The decor is super cute and comfy! They had a happy hour going which was a plus! Drinks: we started off with SangriTas (sangria and margarita mixed), these were really yummy! Round 2 I had the passion fruit mojito and my friend had the strawberry- they were both tasty and refreshing, not strong though, but that's mojitos I guess. We finished off with the Pisco punch- this one really packed a punch and was tasty! Food: started off with the chicken anticucho (chicken skewers). It was good, the chicken was tender and not over cooked and we were given 3 different sauces on the side which went well. We also got the arepita sliders, O.M.G! These were sooo yummy! The shrimp was seasoned to perfection and the avocado and everything else on it was the perfect accompaniments! For entrees I had the chaufa mixto (it's a fried rice with a mix of all the meats but I passed on the beef) and my friend had the jalea de mariscos (fried seafood platter). I LOVED my chaufa! It was soo flavorful and Carlos also gave a spicy red sauce on the side which made it even better. My friend also enjoyed her meal. U don't even like fried seafood (besides calamari), but I tried hers and it was as really good! It wasn't overcooked and chewy and she had leftovers the next day and they were STILL good.

Frozen Margaritas

Cantina 33 is solid in my book. The place is small, clean, and colorful. The staff is friendly, and the service is fast. We always go off-peak. We have been more than a handful of times and never leave disappointed. My kid loves the chicken sandwich, and my sister-in-law and I love the margaritas. . Like others have mentioned, they include the tip, and I don't mind. I am sure they have their reasons for that. If I lived close, I'd be on the HH wave bi-weekly. I highly recommend anyone who loves margaritas to check out this place. I have had the salad and some other dishes, and they were good, but the main focus is always on the margaritas, and they always hit!

I came to this spot with my friends for a boozy brunch afternoon. The service was very slow (there were only 3 parties in the entire restaurant.) We waited close to an hour for our food, when receiving the food it was cold. And I asked for scrambled eggs but did not get scrambled eggs. There is not a lot of options for the bottomless brunch also. A very sad disappointment.

I went Early afternoon with a friend on a Saturday. Great Food, Drinks & Music selection. I loved the Artwork inside and the Staff was super Nice. It was definitely a vibe ! Alil pricey but worth every penny. Compliments to the chef for the Banging Shrimp sliders . I will definitely be coming back with more friends! ‍ P.S = most of the food pictures didn't make it because it was that good . Thank me later! ‍‍‍‍‍

Pesto pasta! Chicken had a sweeter friend taste which I loved.
Christina V.

Cute little place in ridgewood. Enough seating and space so you can have an intimate dinner. We tried the ceviche mixto- choclo was still frozen but leche Tigre and seafood tasted good. Not fishy. More on the garlicky side. Entrees were awesome. Wished the lomo saltado came with yuca fries instead as potatoes were just boring American potatoes. For dessert I would not recommend the churros as they were just over powdered with sugar.

Nacho tower, margaritas and chorizo wontons delicious
Erica C.

As I'm sitting here enjoying the margaritas I would highly recommend to this place!!! The food, drinks and atmosphere is great!! Will definitely becoming back here and will recommend this place to all my family and friends. Happy hr 4-7 is worth it!!!

Hanger Steak Chorizo Wontons

Bomb margaritas! Happy hour is awesome too! We ordered the hanger steak skewers and chorizo wontons. Skewers are cooked perfectly, not tough and steak is soft. Chorizo wontons with the sauce is my absolute favorite!!!

Happened to have BBQ chicken at two places in the same week (The Port of Peri Peri Astoria) - This…read moreone is Chinese-Peruvian, similar to Chicken Lovers (CL). The BBQ chickens were very similar to CL: tender, juicy, and tasty. It also came with green sauce, though not as thick or intense as CL's. Price points were also very comparable. Even the interiors were similar - no flair whatsoever, though this one has better seating area. However, it is cash-only and still charges tax. But I prefer Peking BBQ over CL for the following reasons: - More accessible. It's in Woodside, a lot closer than Bayside. - Smaller operation with shorter wait: 20-25 minutes vs. 1-1.5 hours. - More choices of sides: you can get pork fried rice, lo mein, even sweet and sour dishes. Another one on my list in the area is Caravan Chicken. Hopefully, I get to try and review it next time I am in town to reach the final verdict.

Finally made it to a Queens staple, Peking BBQ!…read more They certainly have a following and the place was definitely full of folks waiting for and enjoying the food. It surprisingly took longer than I expected for my à la carte order of ribs, almost 25 mins which was strange considering they were right in front of me in the warmer. The organization of the orders didn't seem to be efficient to be honest. If the ribs were good though, after the wait, I'd be all good to be honest. Overall the ribs were really dry and overcooked, perhaps from being in the warmer a little bit longer than expected. They were also really skinny ribs with not a whole lot of meat. Perhaps I'll have to give them another try sometime given the number of folks that were there.

If the owner speaks to your own mother in a very demeaning and condescending way ... don't come here Now Here's a little back story. We came here because we are very familiar with 46st Sunnyside having various Peruvian restaurants and we enjoy trying new places. Although the food was good ... majority of it; as I feel the papa à la huancaina either had too many condiments or expired dairy products. Overall it was okay but the owner speaking to my mother in such a disgusting way in the end really had me flabbergasted. And I didn't get involve in their conversation as I had my baby with us. But best believe I wouldn't come back here or recommend it. Also I kind of figured you guys "owned the place" as while you sat down and ate your meal you were observing and listening to everything my parents and I were saying. The place was practically empty when we walked in; aside from the 3 people at the bar and a family sitting all the way in the back also with their baby. Our waiters were nice! I'm not going to take away from their attentiveness and way they spoke to us. Would I give it another chance? Never in my life. Now this happened on the first Saturday on this month and I still have a bad taste in my mouth and my stomach still aches ...

This stop officially completed my "chicken run" for the month. Walking in, Caravan Chicken's setup…read moreand decor felt eerily familiar. Once I saw the nearly identical menu, it clicked: this is clearly a sister restaurant to Peking BBQ with the same ownership. The discovery was a slight letdown, as it took away the excitement of trying something truly new. That said, I've concluded that Caravan is actually the better go-to spot for Chinese-Peruvian rotisserie chicken. Most items run about 50 cents more than at Peking BBQ, but the markup is well worth it: Better location: Astoria beats Woodside for convenience. Better ambiance: It doesn't feel dumpy, and people actually sit down to dine in. Card-friendly: They accept credit cards without surcharges, whereas Peking BBQ is strictly cash-only. We ordered a whole chicken to go for $17.82 plus tax. It took around 20-25 minutes, though the wait likely depends on where your bird falls in the rotisserie cycle. The pickup station is at a separate counter near the entrance, so if you wait at one of the dining tables, keep an ear out for your order. The chicken and green sauce tasted just as expected--identical to Peking BBQ. Still, thanks to the cleaner vibe, card acceptance, and prime spot, Caravan Chicken earns an extra star in my book.

The chicken was good, better than Costco but of course more expensive. I thought the ribs were tough and not sure why people like this. The fried rice was decent and the salad was a nice touch. I tried a bite of the beef lo Mein and surprisingly, it was better than I expected. If you order in, they will bring you your food with their green sauce. I brought in a drink not realizing the policy but they didn't say anything. Pay and tip in cash. Also, they opened around 11:45am so no use in getting there right at opening.

Although it's a South American food spot, with authentic Latin flavors, this joint is owned by a Korean family. They used to live in Peru, Argentina, and more counties in South America before moving to Brooklyn. All of their recipes show their unique family history in South America. From Argentinian styled empanadas to Peruvian styled rotisserie chicken... it's all done really well. So well that people are surprised every time they meet the owners! lol. This is a grab and go place and it gets busy! But there is a little bit of seating in the back if you need to sit and eat there. The staff work really hard to make sure everyone gets their order in a good time. And they are all so nice. I really love their rotisserie chicken and it's paired well with their fries, salad, and even rice. Their potato salad is simply seasoned but realllyyy good; truly nothing over the top with their seasoning for it but somehow it really hits the spot when you eat it with the chicken. I also tried the grilled lemon chicken with the lo mein and loved that too! I didn't finish it all in one sitting so I had that for lunch the next day. Haha. The fried shrimp was also very good. Loved dipping it as well as the chicken, into their house green sauce. The green sauce is crack!!!!! You must get lots of it. Highly recommend visiting this neighborhood staple soon or to order it delivered to your place. :)
