Second time here and we would do it again!…read more WHO DOESN'T LOVE A HAPPY HOUR ALL DAY? We came here on Thursday and had such a good time. The place is nicely spaced out, we gots a good table for my stroller needs, and the staff was so sweet. We ordered the patacon de chicharron and shared fries along with two rounds of drinks ... it was different but nice in a good way. Definitely not the last time we will come here. The food and people were great. The service was fast and they were all super attentive. See you soon Arepa Lady!

My day ended on a high note with arepas from Arepa Lady. I've been here before with my fellow…read moreYelpers after an event, and we sampled four different arepas--all with queso and different meats. W queso and shredded beef - This one stands out for me. The savory beef paired with the cheese and fresh arepa just works perfectly. W queso and chorizo - Definitely worth trying. It leans a bit on the dry side for my taste, but I can see it pairing really well with an alcoholic drink. W queso and chicharron - Also slightly dry, but the chicharrón itself is absolutely phenomenal in flavor. W queso and sirloin steak - OMG, this one is a hit too. Super satisfying and packed with flavor. I've also tried their leche flan, and as a flan girl myself, I have to say--it does not disappoint. The caramel sauce they add is especially good and really brings the dessert together. Overall, this place deserves a solid 5 stars. The arepas are incredibly fresh, and the customer service is top-notch. Few seating options and spacious. The attendant took the time to walk us through the menu, which made the experience even better. Honestly, with this level of passion and quality, who needs to go to Manhattan?

Thank God for another pupusa place in Queens so I've been to a one other one called salavatoria but…read moreI won't compare I absolutely had a blast and this place was so so good as well I got 3 mixed pupusas and it was so juicy and and so flavorful. It's so hard to find any pupusa places in new York cause pupusas aren't really known much but the fact that I'm lucky enough to have tasted two good quality pupusas places. Makes me happy and honestly the atmosphere was great ricas pupusas seemed to be a like a small business and I'm so glad I had the experience. I definitely need to come back and try everything else cause the mixed pupusas were amazing and i don't know what tomato sauce they used it was so so good I highly recommend. I food was so so good the experience was great and the service was fast and the works were so so nice.

Be the cheese to my papusa! Finally tried the El Salvadorian food papusas at Ricas Papusas & Mas…read more The papusas were pretty good and crunchy. They kind of had a nice tortilla crunch to it. I also liked how the food came with a side of raw beets. The sauces they provided also weren't too spicy and just the right amount of spice. However, the tamale I tried didn't have much flavor to it was kind of dry and flavorless. The flan also wasn't really sweet. It had more of a bitter cough syrup taste to it, I had much better flans before. The food also did kind of take long to come, it was around a 15 minute wait. But it could be because it was only two people running it. This place wasn't crowded at all and had a very simplistic aesthetic to it. Overall, would suggest the Papusas only here, you can skip out on the other items. Price: $4.50 Rating: 6.5

We ordered way to much food for two people and ended up sharing it with other family members. I recommend whatever is the most ordered item on the menu. So we definitely ordered some tortas.

Just know the prices are very cheap and you're not going to expect all that food! $30 was able to feed 5 people.

Came back to ask nicely if there was some way they could modify it to my liking, immediately I was met with hostility as the older woman chef starts shaming me for using my EBT cash assistance card (which quite truly i found appalling, especially since they have a sign outside indicating they accept EBT), and claiming that I have no prior experience eating Mexican food and don't know what chilaquiles are. This compelled me leave the food with them, without having been offered a solution or alternative. Quite a shame because I really enjoyed having lunch there. The chimichanga is great and generously portioned. But I won't be returning.

The food was great. The guacamole was really simple but so delicious. It was served in the avocado skin, which made it difficult to eat without getting some on your hands, but that's just an excuse to lock your hands... The shrimp quesadilla were really shrimp tacos.. but delicious.. The shrimp fajitas were also very flavorful.. but the tails still had the shell on, which was inconvenient. The rice and beans were fine. The fish on garlic sauce was amazing. The fish fell apart like butter, the sauce was garlicy in all the right ways and not overpowering. I would drink that sauce, it's that good. The drinks were also good. Exited to go back.

Mexology in Long Island City delivers vibrant flavors in a fast casual format…read more Setting: Located within the Jaxc & Co food hall, perfect for a casual night out or for a pair who can never decide on a spot to eat at. Service: Friendly, but the wait times can vary. Food: The chicken quesadilla and steak salad bowls are delicious. My only reason for the 4 stars is the price point, it's pretty high for what it is.

It's easy to miss & for me the name ("cafe") doesn't seem like large platters homestyle food, tacos, tamales, giant bowls of soup, many types of champurrado / atole de maiz. But EVERYTHING I've had so far here has been delicious & I want to go here with someone familiar with the cuisine because I'm sure that I'm missing out. The staff is very friendly. I think there's a few sons/cousins that are sometimes there & bring some of that young energy too. The wall menus are a bit hard to figure out & I think there's more options than they list. I saw a lot of people eating mole with rice & beans, and enchilada-type of hot plates, sizzling pieces of beef too, large bowls of soup. The steam tables are probably the best options for specials of the day - stewed chicken, different kinds of beans, etc. I should point & order next time. Have had: Suadero Tacos - melt-in-your-mouth tender beef (longer wait than other meats) Al Pastor Taco Pozole (soup): Red (slightly spicy) & White Versions. Comes with diced radish, lettuce, lime wedge, & tostada (I asked for 2). Red was better. White had a lot of pork belly fat-only chunks on the day that I went. (MUST like Mexican oregano with this soup recipe!) Champurrado: a hot corn flour drink with panela, cinnamon; other stuff. Could be a breakfast replacement. Horchata: just okay, realized that I like the Salvadorian version better. Might have had chicken tacos for a late first meal of the day & think was really delicious; but now a low-sugar memory Want to try: -Strawberry Atole (another hot corn flour drink recommended by the girl at a taqueria closer to me - where they don't make it) Overheard someone mentioning a Goat dish (maybe weekend only). Barbacoa Tacos anyone?! Chorizo Dorados sound awesome. Not sure what region/city honors are from, I wonder if they would ever make shrimp Baja-style Dorados (ie. LA Food Truck). Oh & def should try the Cafe de Olla (coffee with panela/cinnamon/spices) ... but bring my conchas from M-sa Madre Bakery. There's about 15 tables inside, family-friendly, solo workers eating lunch; Weekend couples, Grandpa bringing grandson for some soup. Cases filled with pan dulce up front also. The action figure collection on the front right wall is a super nice touch! To Yelp Reviewer who wrote that this place doesn't include avocado or guacamole with tacos: I don't think tacos normally come with avocado OR guacamole (depending on region & some places here probably add to appease Americans). $19 for FRESH 3-4 items (TONGUE!) is excellent.

This spot is so good it gets packed on weekends, but you can secure a table while waiting on line. The atole de fresa was not too thick and hit the spot on a warm sunday morning. The concha wasn't dry and went down well with their cafe de olla - definitely a unique taste to coffee that i'd love to have daily.

Happy Cinco De Mayo!

Not a grievance in anyway but it has to be known. The place has seating but it's relatively small, probably the smallest Latin restaurant I've been in but I'll give it credit for having available seating because I've seen bigger places that were takeout only when they can clearly put some seats in their restaurant. Other than that, the ladies serving are very friendly and accommodating and the food I got was fresh. I didn't get anything too out of the ordinary. Their lunch is pretty affordable, you can get a solid meal for $13, but mine was $19 because I added 2 empanadas to my meal. I couldn't help myself, lol. The options while not limited aren't exactly varied either but sometimes, simple can be better for this is a good spot if you want something affordable to eat. It's worth coming back to every now and then.

I keep reading that their empanadas are large and totally worth it, I might need to try them next time.
