Sangarita's was closed for a brief period and are so pleased to find it alive and well, with the same wonderful food and kitchen staff. Having recently returned from Madrid, I can report that the paella would meet the standards of fine dining in Madrid. The tapas were equally spot on. We tend to return - - - soon. read more

I came here for brunch on a Saturday afternoon. The place wasn't too busy, I decided to go with the steak and eggs and my husband with the chicken burger. Both dishes were really good and good portions. We went with the bottomless which is $30 including your entree. The bottomless included sangria, mimosas and screw drivers. We tried the red and lychee sangria. They were both good but the red was better. I will want to come back and check out their regular menu. read more

Best paella in Queens! Large portions, the paella for one is enough for two people. This is one of my favorite spots on Bell Blvd. Small and intimate setting, the staff is always friendly and attentive. My go to's are the garlic shrimp and the meat paella. Many sangria flavor options to choose from, I tried them all but didn't love any. A great spot for date night or a small group. read more

Recently went to Sangarita's for dinner. Loved the nachos and the Sangria-- chef's kiss! Service was quick and I loved the decor. Highly recommend! read more

On the way here I remembered that I brought my boss (and friend) here, many years before. We had an equally great meal then. Tonight, with my wife and four friends, what a spectacular evening. And all due to Juan, who took some amazingly good care of us. He saw to everything that we wanted, and even a few things that we might not have known that we wanted. I mean wow; the music, the drinks, the paella! This is an excellent restaurant if you're seeking a Spanish fusion supper. Authentic enough and nothing short of delicious. We enjoyed a grande skillet of paella de carne and un portion regular of the paella de mariscos (shellfish). And all the while Juan entertained us with his attentive, very good-natured tableside "service." This is a man who makes a good restaurant excelente! The margaritas and wonderful and the sangria is flavorful. You can't go wrong with whatever you drink. Gracias a Dios por Sangarita's!! read more

We met one of the owners Lana and she was so nice and accommodating. After being closed down for awhile we saw some new faces , very friendly wait staff Elani and bartender Walter. The food was fantastic and drinks amazing. You have to try the lychee Martini and grilled calamari. We tried the different sangrias from tamarind, peach , blueberry lychee and then original of course. We will be back for sure thank you for a great night. read more

$30 brunch including entree and bottomless (mimosa+sangria+Bloody Mary? I think) anyways came here solo. Steak and eggs were really good. Home fries, ehhhh basic, more like simple potatoes. Sangria really good; only could manage two. I'm *slightly* a light weight. Little croissants came warm and sooo good. Will definitely be adding this to my solo date spots. I imagine bringing a friend would be cool too. Latin music playing, which to me is a vibe. Walkable distance from LIRR so always a bonus for me. Server was friendly and food came quickly. read more

We came here for a light dinner after an event and this review is just for their tapas since we didn't order drinks, entrees or dessert. It was a Monday night and plenty of seating when we came in around 730pm so we were immediately seated. We landed on a ceviche, Cubano sliders and chicken tacos - the sliders were decent but everything else was lacking flavor in our opinion, especially the chicken seasoning on the tacos. I've also had much fresher ceviche at other spots so this just didn't do it for me. I will say our server was excellent and everyone was friendly.... will maybe give it another try next time we're in the area and craving Spanish food. read more

Great drinks, food, and service! They give you complimentary bread and olives and they refreshed ours too when a member of our party arrived late!!! They also gave us a flight of the sangria to try the different flavors. FABULOUS TIME read more

My wife could not spend Mother's Day with our son because we were off in Seattle, so Bob took us for a makeup brunch in his Bayside neighborhood. We were greeted like visiting royalty by Juan the owner. I had planned on trying the paella, but couldn't pass up the brunch with its promise of unlimited mimosas. We decided, wisely, to pass on appetizers and get right to the brunch. I thought I was ordering light with a fruit covered waffle, but it was exactly the right amount of food. Two of us had waffles, Donna had avocado tostada, and our son had a croque monsieur. It was all excellent, and the servers were quick to replenish our drinks. Just enough room for churros with whipped cream and fruit. I dropped a hint that I wouldn't mind coming back for Father's Day. read more

Arrived here on accident. I was able to snag seats for two while waiting for my boyfriend. We each ordered a red sangria. Strong alcohol! I highly recommend it. We ordered their tapas (not the mains): chimmi sliders, roman salad, chicken tacos and tuna tartare guacamole. We enjoyed the salad and the tuna tartare guacamole. Service was good. They checked in on us despite how busy they were. Glad we checked it out! read more

I have passed by here several times but never actually went in until this past weekend. I was in the mood to get a quick drink and bite with my mom and boyfriend. We found 3 seats at the bar and ordered some appetizers and a small jar of peach sangria. Our bartender, Ricardo was super friendly from the beginning, he gave us mini samples of sangria to help us decide which one we wanted. They were all delicious but we decided to go with the peach sangria; I will definitely be ordering the blueberry one next time. For our appetizers, we ordered their Cuban sliders and an order for friend calamari. The Cuban sliders were packed with flavor and were a nice size to share. The calamari was crispy and came with several dipping sauces which I loved. They do play a lot of old school Spanish music which was nice and the staff is all so friendly. I will for sure to be returning here to try their dinner menu and order another pitcher of Sangria. read more

After many years going there for dinner, we found an error in the amount charged to our debit card. I promptly went and talked to Juan, the owner. He excused himself and he was embarrassed and told me "this should never have happened" , he hugged me and told me to come back, and that "he will make it out for me" (le va a ir muy bien, he said in Spanish). When we came back one week later, he IGNORED us. I had to call his attention and he treated us LIKE CRAP. He blamed my bank for the wrong charge and told Ricardo (bartender) if he wants to make it up to us, it will be "on him' (on Ricardo). Juan was rough, humiliating and made us feel terrible. How can anybody change so much in a week????? As of today, I can't understand why we stayed and felt humiliated, instead of leaving right away! NEVER NEVER NEVER AGAIN. read more

It's been a while since a restaurant hit the "trifecta," for me. Sangarita's hit it hard for us. Sangarita's serves Brunch on Saturday and Sunday's but we were interested in their dinner menu. I called to inquiry and the gentlemen who answered the phone was so pleasant and said yes we could order from the dinner menu and most importantly we could get Paella. We were greeted by the same gentlemen who answered the phone who also was our waiter. We asked for Sangria and was told he made in overnight and today's special brew was Guava. He asked if we wanted to try it first so brought us over a shot glass. Sold! We ordered half a pitcher which yielded 2 glasses each during our meal. They offer 4 types of Paella but none had all the ingredients we wanted so asked if we could substitute the calamari for mussels. Yes, they can do that. We were two people so were going to order the Paella for two. He suggested we order the Paella for one as it was a large size. Our eyes being bigger than our stomachs we agreed but also order the sizzling shrimp in garlic oil and a side order of Tostones. Let me say the garlic sauce that came with the Tostones was sweet and melted on my tongue. I could have slapped that shit on anything and it would have tasted marvelous. The Gambas Al Ajillo (shrimp in garlic sauce) were served sizzling in a tapas bowl which retained the heat nicely as we ate the shrimp and dipped the bread. And dip we did, there was so much flavor infused in the oil I could have just eaten that with the sliced bread. The star though was the Paella. Served with shrimp, boneless white meat chicken, chorizo and mussels. Our waiter was right it was plenty for us with leftovers to take home. The restaurant is cozy with about 10 tables on the entry level along with the bar. Cozy yet still roomy in between tables. Downstairs is their catering area which I suspect they open up to diners when the entry level is filled. The restaurant has a gender neutral bathroom on the entry level and a men's and women's bathroom downstairs. Both floors were nicely decorated in what I would imagine a tapas restaurant might look like in Spain. This is definitely a 4.5 restaurant in my book, friendly waiter, good food, nice ambience and the price quality/quantity was good. For the two of us with taxes and tip it was only $55 each. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because they did not scorch the rice at the bottom of the pan. The socarrat is a priced part of Paella. Even without it, the Paella Valencia was very good but if would be great if they had scorched the rice. With all the choices on Bell Blvd in Queens and there are a lot of choices, so glad we decided to eat here. Can't wait to go back and try some other dishes. read more

We went as a group; the paella was plentiful and my breaded pork shops delicious! Just one little hiccup - one meal didn't come out! It was the second salmon ordered. But, when I spoke to the owners, he came right over to apologize to the person AND offered the group dessert on the house! The churros are to die for...! Great customer relations!!! read more

1/10 would not recommend. This place has horrible service and food to match. The four of us, received our food 4 different times. When mentioned, there was no remorse whatsoever. But you know, "Spanish" restaurants don't respect Afro Latino people as their own. We are treated as scum of the earth and this experience was just that. DO NOT COME HERE. read more

Went there today for a meet up with friends, and I've been here a few times before but today it was just different. In the past, my crew and I always celebrate b-days here for brunch, and the service is usually on point, but that's probably because we go on a weekday when it's not usually crowded. However today was a little difficult the service was a little on the slower side and the food was okay, even though this afternoon didn't hit the spot, I'll go back again because I've had more positive experiences in my past visit. read more

We went there for the paellas and they didn't disappoint. The flavor was spot on for both paellas but unfortunately, the chicken was a little dry in the Valenciana. Our server was warm and the food came quickly ...can't complain. In my opinion, the calamari could use a little more color but the light crispy batter made up for it. However, the best thing we ate were the stuffed mushrooms. They were deee-licious, I could go back and just eat 5 orders of that. read more

Sangaritas is an excellent Spanish and Colombian fusion spot nestled in the heart of of Bell Blvd in Bayside. From the moment you sit down, you know you are in for a treat no matter the mood. Be it tapas style or going all out and ordering the Bandeja Tipica, which is a beast of a dish with delicious steak, sausage, chicharron, beans, plantains and more, you are going to end up full and satisfied! The owner, Juan, is a jovial and fun individual who truly cares that his customers enjoy both their food experience and the food they cook up for you! I love the Colombian options so much that I have yet to tackle the tapas but that will be our next stop for my friends and I! If you have been thinking about looking into this place, do yourself a favor and go asap! read more

Food here is mostly Spanish/Colombian inspired. I loved my entree (pollo con champiñones). Never would have thought of serving breaded chicken with a mushroom cream sauce alongside garlicky spinach and fried ripe plantains. Very tasty. The mushroom and chorizo appetizer wasn't that great and arrived a bit cold. Their flan was too sweet. I could taste the condensed milk in it which I personally don't like and never add to the flan I make. Very friendly and funny staff ( Juan and Ricardo). It does get pretty loud at night. They have a more private seating area downstairs which is where my party sat. read more

Live in the neighborhood and when I want to go out on date night for a great time, I love going to Sangarita's. The food is delicious, and the drinks are even better. Ricardo makes amazing cocktails my favorite is the expresso martini, and I love their red sangria as well. Walter and Nicholas make sure we are well taken care of every single time. read more

I'm very disappointed with the changes in particular with the departure of Juan and Ricardo. Not sure what they consider friends and family, but we have been going there for over 10 years. Have referred and brought numerous friends and colleagues. No one informed us of the soft opening, curious. You decided to go very young which is your choice, but it has brought a more immature crowd. We went a couple of weeks ago, there were 4 people sitting behind who f bombs coming out of their mouths in a very loud and disrespectful way. Why fix what wasn't broken? Your choice. My wife and I won't be returning and we will definitely let everyone that we have told this place about know as well. read more

My bf and I came here on a Friday night and it was a packed house. Luckily we didn't have to wait and were able to get a small table in the back. It was very loud but lively in the restaurant. We each ordered drinks and let me tell you, they were STRONG. As a person who can normally handle her alcohol, halfway in, I was feeling real good. Our food was delicious as well. Definitely pricy for I'd say the price was worth for our main dish. We ordered a fajita plate to share and there was so much meat that even after splitting, we had to take some to go. It was way better than the fajitas that I'm used to eating at chilis. Vibes were great and service was even better. The manager was super nice and friendly and made us feel very welcome. read more

The restaurant decor is beautiful and classy. While it's a small restaurant, they make effective use of space. Just the right size tables and crisp and clean décor aesthetics. The stuffed mushrooms were served hot and presentation was great but they weren't as flavorful as I had hoped. They were edible. The meatballs were more flavorful, especially when paired with the sauce. They were edible as well. The steak was phenomenal. Cooked just right, it was both flavorful and juicy. I was skeptical about the chimchurri sauce but it's great when paired with the steak. The sweet plantains? Out of this world. The salad? Awesome and fresh. Loved this dish, truly for a meat lover. I didn't have the squid ink dish but I was told it was pretty good and flavorful. A definite recommend! read more

We visited tonight for Mother's Day dinner. We (a party of 2) arrived at 5:20 for a 5:30 reservation and were seated immediately. We ordered ham and potato croquettes, fried calamari and paella Valencia. The fried calamari arrived 20 minutes after ordering. The rest of the dishes came out 30 minutes after ordering. We knew paella would take a while but the tapas shouldn't have taken so long. The restaurant was about 70% full but perhaps it was busy bc of a party held in the basement. Despite the slow service tonight, the foods were delicious. The complementary churro for Mother's Day was a nice touch. I'd return on a non holiday. read more

Great local Spanish/Tapas restaurant in Bayside. Went for an early dinner on a Saturday evening - it was quiet when we first arrived but relatively busy by the time we left. The food was excellent and came in good sized portions. We started with the Baked Clams and for entrees had the Paella Valenciana, Grilled Churrasco and Mixed Fajitas. All were terrific. We were too full to have dessert so will have to try them next time. Did take advantage of their large selection of Margaritas and drinks and enjoyed Mango and Watermelon Margaritas. The servers were friendly and helpful (and dressed in costumes for Halloween on the day they we were there). Plan to be back! read more
