ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC MEAL!…read more I had a great meal top to bottom Garlic Clam Bread: one of my favorites dishes in the world, so unique and delicious. A must try, 100% Jerk Chicken: a staple of the menu, amazing, so tasty, comes with two sides Strawberry Pizza: never would I think of having strawberry on pizza, but it was superb! I want to get it again and again! We also got aqua chiles which was phenomenal. Salad, which was fresh and a great appetizer, I have to steal the recipe! Also had gazpacho which was very flavorful. I had an amazing experience at The Queensboro, you can tell the food is made with top ingredients and done with QUALITY. Best meal I've had in New York, I wish I could eat the entire menu. Look at these amazing pics! The aesthetic is also sets a nice mood. Perfect for a family night out, date or just casual dining. Highly recommend checking out

Neat, fun spot for some good food in Sunnyside!…read more For anyone like me who isn't great at reading restaurant/bar descriptors, this place isn't *just* a bar, nor is it *just* a restaurant - it's a bit of both. Cozy but not cramped, cute little spot that's great for Summer relaxed vibes and munchies. They're specialized in Latino food and drink. They apparently have a whole flight of Margaritas and/or Mojitos to sample - I'd love to try one sometime, however yesterday I stuck with a regular Margarita and was pretty pleased. Clearly made in-house, none of the store-bought drink mixes or anything involved. My mom and I split a few appetizers between the two of us and were quite full, even had some food to bring home. Went with the birria tacos (solid), a trio of other tacos (steak + chicken + pork), and a plate of fried plantains with beef and mushrooms that was really fun - first time we'd had that, glad the waitress talked us into it. Everything came with home-made guac as well. They have a full bar with quite the selection of drinks, lots of Happy Hour specials up on the walls, and a solid, straightforward menu of additional appetizers and also burgers and sandwiches. The staff are super nice and upbeat. My Ma was buying, and I believe she spent about $85 for 3+ appetizers and a drink. Not exactly cheap but it you think of it more as a filling and fairly tasty lunch for 2, roughly $40 each - it's not bad at all. Will definitely come back and give that flight of Margs a try!

I came here to celebrate Peruvian Independence Day with some friends. I've been here once before…read more The place was pretty empty, so despite having a reservation we were seated right away. There was a speaker playing the loudest music imaginable facing directly at us. If you're picturing how loud it was, multiply it by 100. We couldn't speak to each other without screaming, and even then could not hold a conversation. Finally half way through our meal, we asked our waiter if he could turn the speaker away from us and he kindly did. But it's insane he didn't offer to do that out of the gate when he could barely hear us when taking our orders. This was especially confusing considering the restaurant was nearly empty so there was no reason for the music to be like that. When the speaker was turned in another direction, the difference was literally night and day. They offer several Peruvian beers which is awesome. We got a bucket of Cusqueña for $30. The food has small portions, in my opinion. $31 for a small plate of Lomo Saltado and a small side of rice doesn't really hit the mark for me. My friend also ordered the Yuca, which was listed under mains on their menu. It was clearly an appetizer. Paying $15 for 6 Yuca fries is overpriced in my opinion. Everyone else ordered the chicken and felt it was good for very salty. I hate to say it, but both times I've eaten here the food and service has left a lot to be desired. I think there are far better options in the city where you're likely to get more bang for your buck. I would return to enjoy some beers as the pricing for a bucket was awesome and the Peruvian beer was delicious. But I would not return for food.

The volume was on and at an appropriate level which was appreciated. Despite it being busy, Malena our server was really attentive. It was a bit hot in the restaurant, which is to be expected in the middle of a heat wave. The food was good, we ordered the mac and cheese, Irish Spice Bag and Spicy Chicken Sandwich. There was a mixup with the first sandwich we got but our server and the manager were able to fix it quickly. First sandwich was also on the drier end (aside from the mixup) but the replacement they gave us was well made. Drinks were well made, sangria was balanced, not too sweet but not too strong. Extra points for the manager and server being attentive and generous. I would definitely recommend this spot.

Came for the Ecuador world cup game! The fact that we could get in when everyone else was fully…read morebooked should've been a sign... Drink prices are great (6.50 for bottled beer, $9 margaritas included flavored and frozen), so maybe come here for that. We've been craving ceviche all week, so ordered that upon arrival. Took a minute to get, assumed it was because it was marinating. But uh. That was not ceviche. Cold, but as in hard cold shrimp, tails on, not "cooked" in citrus. It was some barbecue flavored sauce, absolutely terrible. Served with saltine-like crackers. Served confirmed we got the right order, but this isn't ceviche. By actual definition. Tex Mex, Colombian, Latino, doesn't matter. Questioning the authenticity of any of the food here, so considering the dozens of Latino restaurants on this street, you're better def going anywhere else. Esp since most dishes are $20-30+. Like why?

Waddling in at almost 40 weeks preggo, we were seated pretty much immediately around noon on a Saturday. Our server came around to take our drinks order while we waited for the rest of our party to arrive. We scouted the menu to see if it was to our liking and they offered a variety of Colombian, Mexican, and some American dishes so we decided to stay. Ordered a Colombian coffee, Shrimp salad, tostones con guacamole, pargo frito, calamari, bandeja típica. Everything came out decently quick! Pargo Frito was omggg.. so crispy yet not oily and same with calamari. I didn't get heartburn like I usually do with oily foods so I took it as a really good sign. Toastones pairs so so well with the guac... salivating just thinking about that again. You also can't go wrong with the Bandeja Típica. Classic Colombian dish with a mix of steak, chicharrón, arepita, guac, chorizo, served with rice. Los todos fue muyyyy chimba. My only complaint is when I got up to look for the bathroom, I literally stood in front of two waitress and was totally ignored while they took their sweet time chatting to each other about whatever... which is fine like I don't care but it'd be nice if they acknowledged a first time patron needed help to find the bathroom. This is not reflective of our actual server - she was amazing and so attentive and constantly came to clear our tables (maybe a teeny bit rushed as we were still eating and the restaurant wasn't super full but nbd). Would add this restaurant on my list of contenders next time I'm in the area. The bar area looked like it would be a great time and overall great vibes!

A pretty good experience I've had dining here. I was looking for a Latin Restaurant to add into my…read moreever building review resume on Google/Yelp and it led me to here. The place is pretty large despite it looking somewhat narrow outside but there's a lot of seating inside as well as some seating outside in the case the place gets crowded, fortunately I didn't have to worry about that. Credit to the service, two waitresses went above and beyond their duty to made sure I had a satisfactory time at their Restaurant and I will always give credit where it's due to the wait staff doing a solid job. Even though I'm giving this place a 5 star rating, there were two small grievances. I did have to wait for some time for my food to get to my plate, like an almost 15 minute wait, but for what it's worth, the food was solid. The other one, which was a small annoyance was that the empanadas I ordered along with the Pollo A La Brasa were forgotten and if I hadn't brought that to the waitresses attention, I would've went without my appetizers. They did make it up by giving me a complimentary margarita. I do appreciate the gesture, but I'm not a strong drinker, I'm a lightweight and after one sip of that, it was powerful enough to almost knock me out. I tried to endure it but I only finished half of that before giving up. Despite that, just the show of them caring for the customer is enough for me to know that they value their patrons here. That's more than enough for me. I like the vibe of the place, it has a Latin fusion feel but majority of their food is affordable. I'd make a 2nd visit here in due time.

The steak was tender and I devoured it right up. I also enjoyed the green sauce that they put on top of fries. Their happy hour menu is top tier. I love every single one of their frozen drinks. The service is a hit or miss. The busser was so quick to take away our dishes even when we were still working on it. He even took my godsister's margarita without her noticing, even though there was some left. I'd understand if they needed the table back and wanted us to wrap up but the dining room was pretty empty. Cleaning up aggressively while we're clearly still eating just makes an unpleasant experience.

Came here for a little small belated birthday dinner for a friend and we had a very nice time. We each just had a dish since we knew the portions are BIG. The menu is extensive and there was a lot to choose from. They even offer some Mexican and Italian dish options. I had the Grilled Skirt Steak (Monterey), which was SO BIG I had leftover for lunch the next day. :) the meat was pretty tender and juicy. The dish came with tostones (big) and rice. We were also served salads to start. What stands out a lot is the amazing service here. They are so polite, friendly, patient and helpful. The restaurant definitely seemed staffed properly which I suppose was a good thing because as the night progressed, the place filled up (for a Thursday night). My friends had the salmon and the Chicken Franchise. I took off just one star because they ended up charging my friends twice (but rectified the mistake), hopefully her funds will sort out. They also charge extra if you want to make any side substitutions... which isn't kind of crappy. The place is also beautifully decorated and spacious. Will def be back very soon! Next time we'll partake in an adult beverage maybe :)

This has been my spot for many years for happy hours, dinner and to watch soccer games…read more It is a large restaurant so you can usually find a spot at the bar or at a table. But when there are big soccer events, it can get very packed. I especially like their frozen passion fruit margarita because it is sweet and strong with a tajin rim. All of their food is delicious, especially their picada which comes with a variety of meat; chicken, chicharrón, sausage and potato. The chicharrón is always crunchy and all the dipping sauces pair so well with everything in the picada. The vibe inside the restaurant is always very fun with good music playing in the background and the bar always has very friendly staff. If you are ever in the Jackson heights area, you should give them a try.
