    Food & Service was great! My boyfriend & I were attending a concert at the Melrose Ballroom (next to the restaurant) and wanted to get a quick dinner. Staff was really friendly!

    Carne Asada Tres Tacos

    First time trying Cielito, and it was soo good! My group and I were looking for an affordable place with outdoor seating and happy hour. Watermelon margs with the tajin rim were our fav. Chips and guac were amazing and super well portioned. I got the tres carne asada tacos; the meat was cooked perfectly. Overall 10/10 service and food quality. Our server, Ruben was friendly and very attentive to our drink accommodations and questions. We definitely will be back, new summer hot- spot!

    Octopus Entree

    The food was delicious (chips and guac and the octopus) and we got free shots at the end. Our waitress also deserves a shout out. Will definitely be returning.

    This is a fabulous restaurant and it is NOT permanently closed! They did an incredible 6-month renovation both inside and outside, and the ambiance is fabulous! Very friendly service, and the tacos and margaritas are awesome!

    Just went for drinks - want to return for food. Great outdoor seating setup and service was on point. The cocktail menu is so fun and perfect for summer.

    I've been wanting to try this place for a long time and unfortunately their kitchen... was closed. We order drinks... and we were told that was in 15 minutes to kitchen won't be open. An hour and 15 minutes later... Two drinks later.... The kitchen was still closed. Obviously on a Friday afternoon you would think that their kitchen would be open for service. Sadly, i'll never know if their food is good ..."sigh" But let's talk about the drink... The drink was excellent! The Route To Sinaloa was a bright, refreshing taste of cucumber. Maybe one day I'll come back...

    Alright, for all the reviews kicking this place down... They should try the food again. After 2 apps and our first drinks, my bf and I were 100% sure we wanted to come back again. Drinks: Cielito, Red sangria with margarita Apps: Nacho fries (I'm so picky with fries, and these were CRUNCHY, potatoey! Fresh, hot, and Loved!!), Mexican Street Corn (A whole juicy corn with lots of the toppings, and 2 baby corns - delicious) Apps: Mango habanero shrimp cocktail, Birria tacos (10/10) Yes, the menu is a little pricier, but you get a) a good portion size b) delicious food and quality of food c) enough alcohol in your drinks that isn't too much to taste the bitterness and isn't too little where you wonder where your money went. There's a cool ice pop for a lot of drinks too that really do taste good and add to the drinks! Would recommend to another friend, would come to Astoria for it from LIC, and would come again 10/10 Quick and friendly service too

    While visiting Astoria we decided to dine outside while passing up the neighboring restaurants that were overcrowded. We were seated in about 15 minutes and the hostess was awesome. Our waiter was a young handsome young man who was very professional. I dined with 3 other friends and we had a nice view of the street. I feasted my eyes on the barria tacos that are very popular paired with a soup like dipping sauce. We all ordered different flavored margaritas. I had the watermelon which was surprising very strong. We all enjoyed our cocktails. They were garnished beautifully giving us Vaca vibes. The barria tacos were just ok. It wasn't the flavorful soup I was expecting. We definitely had a good time.

    The drinks was the driving force to come here. While they are beautiful- they were super weak, like juice. It was unanimous. The barria taco has enough meat but had no taste. The gravy was bland. My friends had the octopus taco and shrimp taco which they liked. The guac which I did not take a photo of was the only thing that I liked. It was delish, creamy nice spice overall AMAZING Service was good, friendly.. but not coming back.

    Street corn & nachos
    Santa D.

    So glad I found this spot on TikTok! I got a watermelon margarita - it was so pretty & delicious! For starters we got the street corn & nachos - loved the street corn, the nachos were meh. For our entrees we shared birria tacos, octopus tacos, & fish tacos. Everything was delicious, the octopus tacos were a bit different but very tasty. Looking forward to going back & trying their different drinks & rest of the menu.

    If you're looking for a fun place to get drinks in the area, definitely check this place out! They have an extensive drink menu - the drinks are beautiful and taste great. Food wise, I got the spicy shrimp tacos which were pretty good and filling - the shrimp was juicy and I was very full after 3 tacos. My friends got the birria tacos but didn't think it was flavorful enough. I went in June 2021 and they were open for just outdoor dining due to covid, make sure you check before going on a hot summer day! (We went when it was 90 degrees and it was pretty brutal even though they had fans)

    Watermelon Margarita
    Asia C.

    I've heard about this place from a few friends so I decided to finally check it out. The decor was beautiful and staff was friendly. We started with the watermelon margaritas and spicy guacamole. The drinks were strong and the homemade popsicle in the margarita was a nice touch. The guac was fresh and a decent serving but it wasn't very spicy. It was more so mild. I had the ribeye tacos and they were okay. Not much seasoning but adding their salsa definetly helped work the flavor. We finished with the house margaritas which were tasty. The waitress gave us complimentary tequila at the end and it was so smooth! The highlight of the night was definitely the service and the drinks. I would come again but try different tacos.

    This is the spot for drinks. The margaritas come with popsicles and are amazing. I got the watermelon margarita. For appetizers, I would recommended the Mexican corn and octopus. Seasoned well and so juicy with great sauces. The tacos were good. I've had better but they were pretty good. I had the spicy shrimp tacos and my friend had the battered shrimp tacos. They were filling and the spicy shrimp was actually somewhat spicy. They gave us shots on the house at the end. The tequila was so smooth. I would love to find out what kind of tequila it was.

As I said it's a snug spot. Definitely make reservs if you want a table. After a certain age I realized I may need a seat. LOL. If you like old school hip-hop, R&B, salsa, soul, funk...This is your spot. You may see me there.

    I've been to The Record Room twice now, and I definitely have mixed feelings about this place…read more First, I'll give credit where it's due--the ambiance is really nice and overall it's a nice-looking spot. The crowd also tends to be a little more mature, so if you're 30+ and looking for an older crowd, this may be your type of place. The food selection, however, is pretty limited, and the music really seems to depend on which DJ is there. Some DJs are good and others are just okay. The last time I went was Wednesday, July 29, and while I had an okay time, the DJ really wasn't all that. My biggest concern, though, is the liquor. My usual drink is Grey Goose or Tito's with soda water. I drink this regularly at home and at other places without waking up with a headache. Both times I visited The Record Room, I specifically ordered Grey Goose with soda water, and both times I woke up with a significant headache. The first time, I gave them the benefit of the doubt and figured it could have been a coincidence. That's actually one of the reasons I was willing to go back. Unfortunately, the exact same thing happened after my second visit. I obviously cannot confirm what was actually poured, but because this has happened both times at this particular establishment, it does make me question whether I was actually being served the liquor I requested and paid for. When you're paying top-shelf prices, you should feel confident that you're receiving the brand you ordered. Overall: nice ambiance, mature crowd, limited food options, hit-or-miss DJs, and unfortunately a liquor experience that has now left me questioning what I was served twice. For those reasons, 2 out of 5 stars for me.

I liked the floral vibes of the drink, almost like butterfly pea, but didn't love the spray they added in the end.

The spicy, slightly bitter yuzu pepper liqueur helped balance out the alcohol! --Ryuichi: Enjoyed the prominent sencha tea flavors that paired well with the herbacious campari --Ranma: A little too strong for me but an interesting mix of whiskey, black tea, chocolate, and red wine. The glass was super cute! Their snacks are from Gulp (which is the front of the store). The popcorn chicken was very well seasoned, tender, and crispy. The radish cakes were freshly fried and came with a good amount of XO sauce. Staff members were pretty attentive. Managed to get two bar seats for a walk-in on a Friday night! I had a good time at 56709 but I still like 929 more for their drinks and music.

The biggest question then became, where to go? We needed a place that was relatively easy to get to that would hold close to 100 people. Jungly was a contender for several reasons - it's location, size, vibe, and menu all seemed to check off. It also helped that I had done business with the owner previously at one of his other spots. It seemed like the natural choice, so I went ahead with the booking. Jungly is located in LIC - it's a pretty convenient spot as its close to the LIRR and the subway. Parking can be a challenge, but luckily I found a spot only a block away. The space itself is nicely set up - walking in you're immediately greeted by the bar area with dining areas both to the left and the right. Due to our size, they closed the place to the public and we were able to freely roam the bar area and one of the dining rooms. In addition to standard tables, they have some lounge space and high tops by the bar. The vibe is somewhat modern - a black/grey color scheme paired with neon and golds. It looks like the space could easily be converted to a club-like atmosphere. Since we were here for a private event, the food was set up buffet style - we chose three apps, four mains, and two sides. Ultimately, for apps we chose pita bread with dips, steak tacos, and shrimp tacos. For mains we chose fried chicken sliders, smashed beef sliders, cacio e pepe, and roasted chicken. For sides, we got fries and Brussels sprouts. In general, all of the food was tasty; the strongest dishes were the tacos, fries, and the chicken tacos. The tacos were generously filled, the fries were the crispy skin style, and the chicken sliders were nice and crispy. The weakest for me was the cacio e pepe - not much flavor and just not really a standout IMO. My communication with management to set up the event were a little staccato, though in the end everything worked out. For the most part, my communication with them was consistent in the days leading up to the event. Service the night of the event was overall good - they were very accessible but I found that they could have replenished the food a little faster in response to the rate it was being taken from the buffet. The bar, on the other hand, was great - both in service and variety of liquor available. Overall, we had a great event at Jungly. They were professional, fair, and delivered on the goods. I would definitely consider hosting another event there, or dine here on my own.
