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.

I used to be a regular at their LIC (NOT on the water) location that recently closed , and would…read moreorder delivery from them very very often. Once a week for the most part, tbh. I was sad when the other location closed, and have been ordering from this one since. I definitely notice some differences in the quality of this location vs. the previous one. This location tends to give noticeably smaller portions for the same exact dishes , and often forgets to include sides and sauces..... One dish we usually get is the churrasco, and it has to be maybe 75% the amount of steak it used to be. Additionally (and this is a BIG one for me), they recently increased the cost of their to-go frozen sangritas by just about $5!!! and on top of that DECREASED THE SIZE. absolutely insane i am paying $20 now, compared to $14, for only 75% of that drink! Sadly do not think I will remain a regular if this continues to be the case. :/

Our group came here to celebrate a happy occasion with such good vibes, so the vibes were definitely off the charts. The little "dance floor" they carved out in the middle barely suffices as one, but I guess they really made do with what they had. They definitely try to overpack this place to the max. Food was amazing, though. We ordered a bunch of appetizers to share, like the yuca corquettes (probably my favorite), coconut shrimp, shrimp ceviche, guac, and the tostones rellones. They were all so, so good and not overly expensive, that we made another order of everything. My drink (Mori Sanado) was very good and came with a cute fish-shaped glass. It's an overstimulating place, to say the least, so I'd mentally prepare for that alone. Since we came on a Saturday night, it was expected that it was a party vibe but I expect it's the same during brunch. You really do have to come with good company to be able to slightly enjoy this place.

For an app, we had the halloumi fries. They were really good, especially if you're a halloumi fan, but the portion was on the smaller side. If you're sharing with a group, I'd order more than one. I had the Turkish eggs and loved how well seasoned they were. The staff was kind enough to let me swap the bread for their biscuits, which I had heard great things about. Definitely worth trying! My partner had the Chicken Not Waffles, and I stole some of his cinnamon butter for my biscuit. So good! I also tried his pancake and really liked that too. The staff was incredibly nice to our pup, which I really appreciated, especially since she can be a little overly friendly.

Overall, there just wasn't much flavor. The coffee was just okay, and after the biscuits, we decided to leave and try another spot down the street rather than risk being disappointed with the rest of the menu. That said, the service was great. We were able to get a table right away without a reservation, and our waitress was super nice and welcoming. Our food also came out quickly.

Mojitos is a Latin fusion restaurant that will transport you straight to the heart of Latin America with its vibrant colors, music, and of course, the amazing food and drinks. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with a warm welcome and a cozy atmosphere that made us feel right at home. We started with the Guacamole Mojitos, which came with crispy chip plantains. The guacamole was fresh and flavorful, and the plantains were perfectly crunchy. It was the perfect appetizer to start our meal. For drinks, we ordered the mango and strawberry margaritas, and they were absolutely delicious. They were perfectly blended with just the right amount of sweetness and tartness, and the fresh fruit flavors really shine through. As for the main course, we ordered the Entraña, which is grilled skirt steak served with beans and rice. The steak was cooked to perfection, and it was juicy and flavorful. The beans and rice were also well-seasoned and complemented the steak perfectly. We also ordered the Fajitas Vegetarianas, which is a mixed sautéed peppers, onions, and mushrooms dish accompanied with yellow rice, beans, sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, and tortillas. The dish was bursting with flavors, and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. The portion was generous and it was super filling. Overall, we had an amazing dining experience at Mojitos. The food and drinks were all exceptional, and the service was top-notch. If you're looking for a Latin fusion restaurant that offers great food, drinks, and atmosphere, then Mojitos in Jackson Heights is definitely worth a visit! read more

My friends and I had an unforgettable experience at Mojitos on Northern Bivd! We started off with a few mojitos, both on the rocks and frozen, and were pleasantly surprised with the prices - only $10 each! They have a wide variety of flavors to select from, and we had passion fruit mojitos. The drinks were so delicious and had just the right amount of sweetness and flavor. For our appetizers, we shared the coconut shrimp ($16.95), the mini toston burgers ($11.95), and the grilled arepitas con Hogao ($7.95). Everything was fantastic, but the highlight for us was definitely the coconut shrimp. The shrimp were juicy and crispy, and the dipping sauce was out of this world. For our main course, we shared the Tesoros Del Mar ($37.95) - a stuffed lobster tail with mixed shrimp, salmon, and lobster meat in their special white seafood sauce. The flavors were incredible, and the stuffed lobster tail was cooked to perfection. Overall, our experience at Mojitos was phenomenal. The tropical vibe of the restaurant, combined with the delicious food and drinks, made for a night to remember. We can't wait to go back and try more of the menu! Highly recommend giving this place a try. read more

I had a great time at Mojitos with a friend last week! The mojitos here are the real deal, super flavorful, and they're made with fresh ingredients. I had the classic one, but next time, I'm definitely trying the coconut mojito. The atmosphere is lively and colorful, with lots of vibrant decor, making it perfect for a casual hangout. The food was fantastic - flavorful and crispy. The service was great too - attentive without being overbearing. My only small complaint was the empanadas, they didn't wow me, but everything else was solid. So if you're craving a tasty drink and a fun place to unwind, this place is worth a visit. read more

The Chaufa Rice was honestly some of the best I've had, packed with different meats that brought layers of flavor and texture to every bite, it all came together in the most satisfying way.

They were solid, but what stood out most was the presentation. You can tell they put effort into making the dishes look just as good as they taste. For tacos, we tried the chicken, steak, and fish. All three were good, but the steak taco was easily my favorite. It had the most flavor and was the standout of the trio for me. The fried rice was also surprisingly good and complemented everything else we ordered. The main event, though, was the Stairs to Heaven Sushi Roll Combo. We got the Kakimama, the Smoke Show, and the Geisha rolls. The Smoke Show absolutely lived up to its name and stole the spotlight.

My partner got a Japanese cirtrus which he said was outstanding. I ordered the breakfast burger ($17) which came with bacon and eggs, a side of potatoes and salad. The burger was well seasoned and came medium as I requested. The potatoes were crisp and paired well with the burger. The portion size was very generous that I brought half of it home for later. My partner got the Paradillada steak strips ($26) which he devoured with his mashed potatoes. He described the chimichurri as the start of the dish, which was decadent and flavorful to coat the tender cuts of beef. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant if you're looking to have a family outing, or a casual date night. The prices are very reasonable, and the place is very welcoming!

Great food, great service, and great environment. The place is decorated well and the drinks are…read moredecorated beautifully! We tried the Salmon in a Spicy Thai Chili Sauce, Chicken Dumplings, mojito, espresso martini, and the martini flight and it was all fantastic! The owner was there and introduced herself and was so sweet! The bartender was personable and quick and had great suggestions. We will definitely be back next time we visit!

We visited Klan Destino on a Monday evening. It's located in a busy commercial area, surrounded by…read moreother businesses. Finding a spot can be tough, so give yourself a few extra minutes for parking. Once inside, we were greeted immediately and seated right away. Since it was quiet on a Monday, we had our pick of tables. The atmosphere is warm and inviting--dim lighting paired with low Spanish music playing in the background. We sampled three different drinks throughout the meal, and all were excellent: White Sangria (First Place): Exceptionally refreshing and smooth--the standout drink of the night. Frozen Margarita (Second Place): Perfectly blended with a delicious, smooth, slushy consistency. Red Sangria (Third Place): Very enjoyable, though slightly outshined by the other two. It's worth noting that Klan Destino offers two distinct menus--one Mexican and one Argentinian. We ordered entirely from the Argentinian side, and the kitchen delivered on all fronts. For appetizers we ordered Burrata Klandestina which is a unique spin compared to traditional Italian burrata. It was well-executed, served alongside a fresh salad and flavorful prosciutto. Our main course was Asado Klandestino Pura Vaca - For Two. The highlight of the meal which was packed with an outstanding selection of meats. The portion was huge and we couldn't finish it all. It made for fantastic leftovers at home. For dessert, we had the Tiramisu. It was perfectly balanced. Neither the espresso nor the chocolate overwhelmed the dish, making for a light, delicious end to the meal. Klan Destino delivers great ambiance, excellent service, and great quality food. This restaurant deserves a 4.5 rating.

If you really want to hear about it, I went to this Argentine-Mexican fusion joint, which already…read moresounds like the kind of phony idea some guy in a suit thought up to charge you double for tacos, but the prices were reasonable. But anyway, there I was sitting on the patio next to these fake-looking potted plants, staring at my drink and looking at Metropolitan traffic. My Red Sangria came in this tall glass with a slice of orange stuck on top, looking all fancy, and it had a bunch of chopped-up fruit floating around at the bottom that you couldn't actually reach without making a total mess, but to be fair, it wasn't half bad. It was cold and fruity and kept me from having to talk to anybody for a few minutes. Then came the "Tacos Entraña." That's skirt steak, if you're not trying to sound like you're from somewhere, somewhere, where its like common and stuff. They serve three of them on this wooden board because apparently regular plates aren't stable enough for many Mexican restaurants anymore. They were absolutely smothered in this white crema stuff, cilantro, and chopped onions. I'll admit, though, the meat actually tasted pretty damn good. It was thick, properly charred. I go into these new pop-ups expecting the whole food fusion thing to be a total fraud, and then the food actually turns out to be quite excellent and not too expensive. I had a great waiter who made the whole lunching experience feel effortless. I lefy feeling taken care of, without ever feeling like I was part of someone else's performance.
