This place is a staple in the neighborhood it's been here forever , decent amount of seating classic type decor , they have a decent variety of food to choose from aside from just pizza.

This was a single drink, paid separately, and the tip was altered after the fact. During the dinner itself, I fully expected a mandatory gratuity for a large group. That is standard. What I did not expect was an additional "operating fee" added on top, with no clear disclosure upfront, and still applied even when paying cash. That is a hidden surcharge, plain and simple. Changing a tip and adding undisclosed fees crosses a line. This is not about generosity or misunderstanding. It is about trust. Check your receipts carefully if you dine here.

The decor of Linda Azoguenita Bakery & Restaurant is old country style with red brick walls inside…read more The staff doesn't speak English fluently but tried her best to introduce their signature dish friendly and patiently. The outdoor seating is currently available during COVID-19 but with super limited 2 tables. The food options on the menu are various with photos but it was still difficult for us to make decisions without clear English description. We had Beef Tripe Stew ($12) and Bandeja Paisa ($16). The food was decent, especially the extremely tender beef tripe with creamy and soft potato. We didn't recommend the Bandeja Paisa, the pork steak was too dry and the pork belly was too greasy. Their pastries looked great with reasonable price but we didn't have a chance to them try this time. We will plan to have another visit for their brunch and pastries.

I've been coming here for many years for both dine-in and takeout as I'm local to the neighborhood…read more What had remained consistent throughout these years was the quality of the food, which is why I continued to return. What has also always been true is that the service is extremely slow! I knew I was going to be there for two hours, so I chose carefully when I had time to dine-in. However, they recently went through a renovation to remove a wall that separated the bakery from the sit down restaurant in the back in order to expand their available seating and build a full bar. Things have gone so downhill since then. About the renovation itself, all of the chairs and tables don't match. They kept what they had before the renovation and added a few new tables and chairs that look really cheap and are so uncomfortable. The service is even worse, because not only is it slow but the servers are so rude!!! We didn't get the batido we ordered until halfway into our meal. The food has also gone down in quality, they must be buying cheaper meats and ingredients. The pollo guisado was all big pieces of bone, and the carne that came with my meal was the smallest I have ever been served here, I might as well have ordered mote pillo without the carne, I don't know what I paid extra for. The final straw that led to my one star review is during my recent dine-in for lunch just yesterday, I saw a $1 charge for the takeout box that they put the remaining food in that I didn't finish and planned to take home. I have never as a born and raised New Yorker encountered this in a restaurant where I paid for a full meal and then was nickel and dimed for a to go box. The server did not tell me this charge would be put on the bill either, and we surely told her that when she returned to collect the check, especially considering how many times we have eaten there and never been charged for this. It is a really shameful practice to put the cost of the renovation onto customers in this way. I would not recommend dining at an establishment that does not value customers at all by providing poor service, cheap food, and up charging clients.

As I was in this section of Queens for a work gig, when lunch rolled around my colleague didn't…read morereally know where to go so we quested up the thoroughfare to decide on our options. The area itself is primarily Spanish and I couldn't determine if I had even been here before despite my being a New Yorker for almost all of my life. Soon enough the wander led us to the "Taste Of Italy" pizzeria that was located right near the Junction Boulevard stop on the "7" train. Though they had a decently sized menu with a number of proper offerings I opted for a slice of cheese pizza and another with pepperoni. A can of Sprite would help me to wash it down. I found the slices to be very tasty, filling and comparable to what I usually get in my own Brooklyn neighborhood and that made me happy because there are few things worse than terrible pizza. My colleague had a lesser experience with a chicken sandwich that she felt was on the greasy side but when she brought this up they gave her a couple of slices of pizza. I should have tasted it myself to confirm that said colleague had a legit complaint as opposed to just being fussy because that happens sometimes. Either way she was covered and it was nice that the place didn't give her a hard time. I found the staff there to be friendly which is always nice and yes there was a language barrier for me since I only speak English but honestly I feel that 90% of their clientele speaks Spanish and I am in the minority. This didn't get in the way of my ordering what I wanted and liked. In the rear of the business is a spacious dining area with about eight tables that each fit four patrons. It was warm, and that was welcome since the work we were doing was outside and it was quite cold that day. I didn't detect an open Wi-Fi but they did have a television running in the back playing Spanish language programming. I thanked everyone with a smile and the three Spanish words I actually know and off I went back to the gig. While I did enjoy myself I can't see myself returning since this was a one day assignment and I don't see myself in this region for anything any time soon. I did want to make sure that a Yelp was done since it was a good experience for me. If you should be shopping around this area, you've got a good place to eat and rest your bones.

We decided to stop by since we wanted to give something around here a try…read more We came in & were seated right away, drinks Passion fruit & Mango shakes w milk instead of water, very good but a bit filling. Chorizo for appetizer great tasting but u may not need it they start u off w some warm bread & cheese, salami app very good depending on how hungry u are I'd say u can skip the appetizer. Main dishes Milanesa à la napolitana this was good, way too many onions but good comes with rice & beans. I had the Pechuga de pollo la provenzal, yumm this was delicious the sauce is so tasty, I got it w tostones great since dipping into the sauce. Next time, Ice tea & Sprite for drinks not bad, no apps since they start u off w that bread. I had the Meat special #4 , This comes with 2 pieces of steak & chorizo , got it w tostones the meat was very flavorful, cooked just right , comes w a chimichurri sauce so good. We also had the Pollo Provenzal again, man that sauce is amazing got it w fried yuca, it was very good. This place is a one stop shop, butcher style Meats for sale, some Argentinian desserts, candy & merchandise they seem to have a little bit of everything. Good size location, decent decor & service. Prices are seasonable since they do give u a good portion size. Good neighborhood spot, this place was a good find & chances are we will continue to visit from time to time.

After more than 25 years of being customers and spending hundreds of dollars per visit, we were…read moreessentially told we had stayed too long after finishing our meal. That was enough for us to decide we will not be returning. I have been coming to this restaurant for over 25 years. The food has generally been good, which is why my family continued returning and recommending it to others. Our history with the restaurant has not been without issues. Years ago, we stopped coming after a Mother's Day incident involving my grandmother. We had been seated in the upstairs dining room (when it was still open), only to later be told by the owner that we did not have a reservation and that we had to leave. After several years, we decided to give the restaurant the benefit of the doubt and eventually started coming back again. Unfortunately, today confirmed that the earlier incident was not simply bad luck. I was dining with my parents. We ordered two steaks, two appetizers, three sides, a bottle of wine and later a second bottle (of which we only drank half), along with four after-dinner drinks, cappuccino, and dessert. It was clearly a very busy day, and service was slower than usual. Because of the restaurant's pace, our meal ended up lasting a little over three hours. We were patient the entire time and never complained. After we finished eating and were simply finishing our drinks, the owner, Marcelo, approached our table and remarked that we had been there for three hours and were now only drinking alcohol, indirectly suggesting that his establishment was not a bar but a place for dining. Considering that we had just spent several hundred dollars and have been customers for decades, the comment was unnecessary and unprofessional. We immediately asked for the check and left. For context, I am a physician and understand the pressures of demanding work environments. However, professionalism and respect toward customers should always come first. Over the years, my family has typically spent between $300 and $500 per visit here. Unfortunately, after this experience, this will be the last time we come. There are many excellent Argentinian and Uruguayan steakhouses where customers are treated with appreciation and respect, and that is where we will be going moving forward. Después de más de 25 años siendo clientes y gastando cientos de dólares por visita, básicamente nos dijeron que nos habíamos quedado demasiado tiempo después de terminar nuestra comida. Eso fue suficiente para decidir que no volveremos. He venido a este restaurante durante más de 25 años. La comida generalmente ha sido buena, lo cual es la razón por la que mi familia y yo seguimos regresando y recomendándolo a otras personas. Nuestra historia con el restaurante no ha estado exenta de problemas. Hace años dejamos de venir después de un incidente en el Día de las Madres que involucró a mi abuela. Ya nos habían sentado en el comedor del segundo piso (cuando todavía estaba abierto), cuando posteriormente el dueño nos informó que no teníamos una reservación y que teníamos que retirarnos. Después de varios años decidimos darle al restaurante el beneficio de la duda y eventualmente comenzamos a regresar nuevamente. Lamentablemente, lo ocurrido hoy confirmó que aquel incidente anterior no fue simplemente mala suerte. Estaba cenando con mis padres. Pedimos dos steaks, dos aperitivos, tres acompañamientos, una botella de vino y luego una segunda botella (de la cual solo bebimos la mitad), además de cuatro digestivos, cappuccino y postre. Claramente era un día muy ocupado en el restaurante y el servicio fue más lento de lo habitual. Debido al ritmo del servicio, nuestra comida terminó durando un poco más de tres horas. Fuimos pacientes todo el tiempo y nunca nos quejamos. Después de terminar de comer y mientras simplemente estábamos terminando nuestras bebidas, el dueño, Marcelo, se acercó a nuestra mesa y comentó que llevábamos allí tres horas y que en ese momento solo estábamos consumiendo alcohol, insinuando indirectamente que su establecimiento no era un bar sino un lugar para cenar. Considerando que acabábamos de gastar varios cientos de dólares y que hemos sido clientes durante décadas, el comentario fue innecesario y poco profesional. Inmediatamente pedimos la cuenta y nos retiramos. Para dar contexto, soy médico y entiendo muy bien las presiones de entornos de trabajo exigentes. Sin embargo, el profesionalismo y el respeto hacia los clientes siempre deben ser una prioridad. A lo largo de los años mi familia normalmente ha gastado entre $300 y $500 por visita en este restaurante. Lamentablemente, después de esta experiencia, esta será la última vez que vengamos. Hay muchos excelentes restaurantes argentinos y uruguayos donde los clientes son tratados con aprecio y respeto, y allí es donde llevaremos nuestro negocio en el futuro.

Ordered this pizza on Thursday night, to enjoy with my family. We selected Margarita because it is…read moreone of our faves and really hard to mess up seeing as it is a staple Neapolitan pizza, made with San Marzano tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, salt, and extra-virgin olive oil. Some places may not have the exact ingredients needed but at the least - you expect some good quality mozz. I was in for a grave awakening once I opened up this box. I really urge those reading this to avoid ordering pizza here.. this pizza had a very gluey texture from the crust to the cheese which also has a plastic like quality to it - and then they topped the pizza with chunks of tomato that didn't appear to be cooked at all. It was so strange. This pizza is sad no matter what scale of comparison you use - disappointing flavor, dense crust, acidic sauce and weird cheese. Avoid... at all costs!

Real neighborhood place, with regular customers visiting and talking with everyone. Not too many of these places around anymore.
