We always start with the nachos with chorizo. A crowd favorite. Nice heat and great flavors. Went for the steak enchiladas with salsa verde. Their salsa verde is so good and addictive. Vibrant, full of flavor with an excellent heat. My fiance had the chorizo burrito with maduros. The maduros were perfection. Worth the trip if you can come and try.

I took advantage of the their lunch special and ordered the carne asada.

Upon arriving home, the grilled meat was delicious and plentiful. There was enough for left overs as the meat was folded in half in the tin. I chose the sides of frijoles (beans) and maduros (sweet plantain). I am a fan of a hint of spice and it should be noted the beans were seasoned with a hint of spiciness. I am looking forward to trying other items on the menu.

For food, my group stuck with the beef, opting for the birria and NY strip steak tacos. Both were very tasty, and made even better with the spicy housemade salsas. The drinks may have been the highlight. I recommend the Volcan in particular. It's a very cessionable and refreshing summery mezcal drink, that could charm even the non-mezcal crowd. I also appreciated that they made a special tiny cheese quesadilla for my one-year old. The bill was high enough that it made me double check the math, and I wish that the taco dishes came with some type of side for $20+ a pop, but overall, Ayy Chihuahua is good enough that I'd come back again, at least for another round of drinks.

Surprisingly, it is a dish that is hard to find in the Flushing/Fresh Meadows area especially in a sit down, comfortable restaurant. The Chilaquiles was a nice little plate of deliciousness - I loved the tangy green salsa soaked bed of tortilla with nicely fried over easy eggs (they way I ordered it). A fan of avocado, tomato and onions top the dish as well - it comes with a side of rice and beans. I recently returned when I was in the mood for enchiladas - they have combo option with beef, chicken and cheese. I ordered them divorced style with both red and green salsa. It comes blanketed with a shredded lettuce salad with tomato, onions and avocado. Rice and beans round out the dish. A couple of other dishes I tasted were the eggs with chorizo and the chimichanga - both were very good. I love their house salsas both a dark red and green one. They bring out tortilla chips with a thick salsa that is tomato-ey sweet. They have a full bar if you are so inclined and the service is very good here.

Not fluent in English, but very friendly service. They have an extensive menu! They give complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa is a sweet tomato-y salsa and the chips are crisp. The Chimichanga with Cecina (Salted Beef) was stuffed! Crisp fried exterior, covered in flavorful red (tomato-y) and green (herb-y) sauces. The cecina is perfectly salted. I enjoyed the guac and chips (same as the complimentary chips) and pico on the side added freshness. They also have a house red and green sauce, which have a good kick and flavor to them. The Pineapple Juice is the right amount of sweetness and tart. I like that there's no ice so it's a full glass of juice! Overall a neat local spot to hit up for good food and friendly service (and a full bar!).

Everything started strong with excellent drinks, fresh guacamole and chips, and a delicious trio of homemade hot sauces. The standout of the meal was the chicken enchiladas with green sauce, which were packed with flavor and easily one of the best dishes I've had in a long time. Our group also saved room for dessert (Pastel tres leches), and it was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. From start to finish, the food was outstanding, the flavors felt authentic, and every dish was well executed. It's easy to see why Casa Enrique has earned such a strong reputation. I'll definitely consider going back the next time we are in the area.

I ordered the chicken enchiladas verde. Unfortunately there was barely any of the verde enchilada sauce, so it was overall a bit dry and the chicken itself was pretty bland.
