The food here is excellent. It takes time to come out but it's worth the wait. The food is cooked well and very flavourful. Staff is kind and helpful. They're is also karaoke to kiven up the mood. The atmosphere is dim but romantic and relaxed.

Bistec a lo pobre lunch special
Dana H.

I stopped by here for a quick lunch after a doctor's appointment, and it was wonderful. I got their Bistec a lo pobre lunch special, and boy was it a lot of food. There was a small steak, eggs, fries, plantains, a small side salad and a drink. There were a few tables filled when I arrived, mostly smaller parties and a one other solo diner. It made me feel a bit relieved seeing there was another solo diner besides myself! From the time I sat down to when I got my food, it was about 15 minutes, so not too long. The service was quick and efficient, and none of the waiters/waitresses ever rushed anyone. I'm not usually in the area so I wasn't familiar with what's good in the area, but I'm happy I stopped by Riviera Maya for lunch. It was a pleasant surprise to a great afternoon.

This was one of the worst Mexican Peruvian fusion restaurants we have been to in Astoria. Everything, was off from the bland food we received to the wait service. The empanadas were not fresh. My quesadilla with fries was just plain awful. We had to wait endlessly for service and out seating arrangement was uncomfortable to say the least. Only the decor and ambiance was We had to wait endlessly for service, and our seating arrangement was uncomfortable, to say the least. We will not be back

Service and food always impeccable. I was craving seafood and opted for a whole fried fish that did not disappoint! The sides it came with was an avocado salad with tostones and it was an excellent combination. My boyfriend got the mole poblano with steak and he loved it! He is very picky when it comes to mole, and it's all he gets when he goes there so that says a lot! We always get a pitcher of sangria because it's delish! Their 2-go drinks by the way are SO worth it! Strong and delicious :) try their guava mojito - believe you me you will not be disappointed! You are welcome, and cheers! ~Susan

We have been wanting to come here for a little while now, always see it when im walking on steinway in the neighborhood. Its our Date Night so we decided on this place which has outdoor dining. Service was excellent & prompt, the food was really good and the drinks were tasty & strong just like i like my men lol. We ordered the beef saltado & the salmon and shared both. The beef was really good, the salmon was nothing special. But good For an appetizer we got the octopus which was a little gummy but tasty. We got the mango mojitos. The plates are big and you def get full Had some serious ittus afterwards. Our bill came out to about $100. Not too bad. Great experience overall.The real vegetables growing in the garden outside was really cute. Hey, at least you know its fresh.

We just got home from the most incredible meal we've had in years. The guacamole was super fresh, and my husband and I shared the Roca Maya recommended by the manager. It was phenomenal. The atmosphere was great and the food was even better. We'll be back soon.

My second time having dinner here. The drinks are great (for the most part) and the food is simply scrumptious. Today we had the Roco Maya, enough food for two guys who like to eat. The bottom of the dish had salsa verde which was the cherry on top of this already flavorful meal. The first time we had ceviche mixto and the skirt steak with vegetables. All mouth watering. We will definitely make this a regular spot. They have a lunch special as well, might be worth checking out. Service was attentive too! Overall: I recommend it.

The open windows are a great touch--they give you a perfect view of the area and make the whole place feel bright and airy.

I dined here the evening of 3/28/26 with another Yelp Elite…read more We ordered the Rotisserie Chicken Breast, the Lomo Salteado with Yucca Fries, the Arroz Chaufa with Chicken and Shrimp, and two Pisco Sours (a Peruvian cocktail). The food and cocktail were not commensurate with the prices. The Rotisserie Chicken was moist and tasty, and the portion was huge, but the green sauce was too spicy for me. The chicken stood well on its own. The filet mignon in the Lomo Salteado was not seasoned. It was so bland that not even the extra salt that I added could fix the taste, but the Yucca Fries were outstanding--especially when dipped in some green sauce. The Arroz Chaufa with Shrimp also let me down. It tasted like slightly rancid oil was used to make it. The shrimp did not taste fresh caught, either, and the chicken was pitifully dry. The Pisco Sour left a lot to be desired although the foam on top was decorated nicely! The place is large and well decorated with Peruvian masks on the wall. The waiter provided good service, and the owner was walking around the floor, managing the place, but I AM ONE AND DONE! I will not be back!

The friendly employee checked if I ordered from the kiosk, and I did. After 5 minutes or so, my order was ready and I took it to go. The stir-fried beef was really salty (think it's the marination) even when you eat the beef with the white rice or fries to try to dilute how much sauce there is. The tomato and onions were great. Tons of fries (that I can't finish it) and a small container of white rice. Have to come back and try the cerviche and fried rice next time.

Dishes we've had include: - Half Chicken: $9.50; $10.34 with tax. The chicken and accompanying green sauce are above average; 4 stars out of 5. The chicken is flavorfully marinated and moist, and the green sauce has a little heat to it. - The Sampler: $16.99; $18.59 with tax. The most flavorful component of this dish was the chicken. The rice was on the mushy side. The ceviche was OK but the proteins didn't quite have the right textures. - Aeropuerto Special: $15.25; $16.60 with tax. OK; 3 stars out of 5. A mixture of thin lo mein noodles and rice with some roast pork, chicken, and shrimp. The dish seemed to have a decent wok hei, which was confusing because the chicken rice from the Sampler was on the mushy side. This dish would be much better with more proteins, and the wok hei suggests that the restaurant has untapped potential. - Papa Rellena: $8.95; $9.74 with tax. OK; 3 stars out of 5. Stuffed deep fried potatoes that seemed factory-made, instead of house-made. Atmosphere, Service, Other: The restaurant is casual, clean, and comfortable for dining in, with a mix of regular tables and booth-style seating. Those who choose to dine-in should order food at the counter, receive a number placard, and find a place to sit. Staff will bring plates, utensils, and later, one's food and drink; and will clear the table when your party is finished eating. Service is notably upbeat. Suggested tips are based on pre-tax subtotals, and start at an affordable 12%. Overall ticket time (the time between placing an order and having that order served) is reasonable. By contrast, Bayside Chicken Lovers often requires that orders be placed in advance to minimize wait time. The restroom is adequately maintained, but oddly pipes in music louder than in the main dining area. Simple Peruvian is a couple of storefronts away from Kora, which is a superb place for dessert afterwards.

I've tried their jalea (crispy fried shrimp, fried yucca, fried squid, fried fish, fresh mussels), cau-cau (honeycomb tripe stew with tumeric sauce served with white, tallarin verde con bistec (pesto sauce with pasta and grilled steak), and papa a la huancaina (steamed potato covered with yellow pepper cheese sauce + a olive on the side). Every single one of those dishes are very delicious. My favorite is the jalea. Get the large! Additionally, I really enjoy their chicha morada. It is very refreshing and not too sweet. I recommend the half pitcher for a table of two. Great spot for a date or just to catch up with friends!

The choclo and the amount of ceviche is delicious. You can share or you can have a plate of your own. If your like me you want a plate or your own. After we tend to get a entree to split which is usually more than enough food. The service it usually pretty quick here and you are not waiting a long time. The food is flavorful and tastes fresh. The sangria here is also the perfect amount of liquor to juice. But we only wish that there were more fruits. The desert, alfajor, was baked just right. It's tough to find a good alfajor but this place has one of the best in the areas. This is a small restaurant so get there early and give it a try. It is a great place for Peruvian food!
