Loved this little new Mexican taco restaurant on 36th Avenue. Everything, including the smoothies, was delicious. At first, I had my reservations as I thought this would be a tacky eatery, but the owner made it so lovely that I wanted to come back again. This was the place to be on a beautiful, hot summer day! I highly recommend their quesadillas, besides the tacos.

Cute Mexican joint on the LIC/Astoria boarder of 36ave - this location has been many things over the years and i hope this one sticks. Tl;dr: no frills, homestyle Mexican food, good flavors, nice portions and reasonable prices We ordered: Salted steak quesadilla - my husband thought it was good and will order again Shrimp burrito - a little meager on the shrimp but it was good, next time I'll just do a veggie burrito. Chorizo burrito - my friend enjoyed it a lot and will order again. French fries - basic but fine Churros - they were the star, yummy, warm, sweet and crunchy Everything was good, ingredients tasted fresh and it was mostly made to order. Server was friendly and the restaurant is clean. Feels more like a grab and go place vs eating in.

Mexico in Astoria! Great food and vibes! I had the fresh chip and salsa with a chicken burrito, which was filling and delicious. I washed it all down with the hibiscus drink. Veronica will greet you with a warm smile and personality.

Chilaquiles con huevos

The food here was fantastic! The meat in the steak taco was perfectly juicy, tender, and flavorful. The chilaquiles were crispy underneath the salsa. Fantastic flavors, would definitely recommend this place.

Hoy pedí los chilaquiles con salsa roja y huevitos revueltos para llevar... MUY picante Soy de Texas y viví en México y esta salsa estaba picante para mi... Bien sabrosos! 10/10 - I ordered the chilaquiles with red salsa today... Perfect portion... VERY spicy salsa! Exactly the flavors and level of spicy I've been looking for since moving here... Sooooo delicious! 10/10

Tacos, Pollo Enchiladas
Sophia G.

The food has good flavor! The tacos were not street style (steak was a guisado rather than asada) but the flavor was good). The enchiladas had a good flavor with the green salad and were pretty filled. Rice was great! Our waitress was a bit slow but she was still helpful. Very quiet in there as we were in there late but the mural and decorations are cute. Food did take a while to come out though.

Stumbled on this place while walking around! Was craving tacos~ I ended up ordering Chilaquiles and tacos. Red sauce was hot and spicy and was delicious! I took the food to-go.

Love the food , flautas

We were loyal customers for over three years, frequenting the establishment almost every week,…read moreespecially during happy hours. However, our experience took a turn when the new management took over. Initially, the new owner and management were great, and we continued to return, even recommending friends to join us. However, things changed when they updated the menu and handed out an outdated version upon placing an order. To our surprise, we were shocked by the noticeable price increases upon checking out. We questioned the correction, but instead of addressing our concerns, we were simply given the new menu with the updated prices. I'm certain that we had received the old menu before the price changes. By the way, happy hour is until 5 p.m. compare to other restaurants it's until 7 p.m.

(Only certain tacos are available at the Tuesday special price, and none are vegetarian so I don't bring any of my vegetarian friends here on Tuesdays). The guacamole and hot sauces are delicious too. Gluten- sensitive- friendly: corn tacos and chips Tuesdays do get busy so you may want to go early. There's may be a long wait for food, or it will come out super quick. There aren't many staff there at once even on Tuesdays. Occasional language barrier, sometimes the staff doesn't understand English so may need to have Google translate app ready!

The restaurant (& small grocery area) it's a lot deeper on the inside that how it looks in the…read morefront. It's easy to miss & for me the name ("cafe") doesn't seem like large platters homestyle food, tacos, tamales, giant bowls of soup, many types of champurrado / atole de maiz. But EVERYTHING I've had so far here has been delicious & I want to go here with someone familiar with the cuisine because I'm sure that I'm missing out. The staff is very friendly. I think there's a few sons/cousins that are sometimes there & bring some of that young energy too. The wall menus are a bit hard to figure out & I think there's more options than they list. I saw a lot of people eating mole with rice & beans, and enchilada-type of hot plates, sizzling pieces of beef too, large bowls of soup. The steam tables are probably the best options for specials of the day - stewed chicken, different kinds of beans, etc. I should point & order next time. Have had: Suadero Tacos - melt-in-your-mouth tender beef (longer wait than other meats) Al Pastor Taco Pozole (soup): Red (slightly spicy) & White Versions. Comes with diced radish, lettuce, lime wedge, & tostada (I asked for 2). Red was better. White had a lot of pork belly fat-only chunks on the day that I went. (MUST like Mexican oregano with this soup recipe!) Champurrado: a hot corn flour drink with panela, cinnamon; other stuff. Could be a breakfast replacement. Horchata: just okay, realized that I like the Salvadorian version better. Might have had chicken tacos for a late first meal of the day & think was really delicious; but now a low-sugar memory Want to try: -Strawberry Atole (another hot corn flour drink recommended by the girl at a taqueria closer to me - where they don't make it) Overheard someone mentioning a Goat dish (maybe weekend only). Barbacoa Tacos anyone?! Chorizo Dorados sound awesome. Not sure what region/city honors are from, I wonder if they would ever make shrimp Baja-style Dorados (ie. LA Food Truck). Oh & def should try the Cafe de Olla (coffee with panela/cinnamon/spices) ... but bring my conchas from M-sa Madre Bakery. There's about 15 tables inside, family-friendly, solo workers eating lunch; Weekend couples, Grandpa bringing grandson for some soup. Cases filled with pan dulce up front also. The action figure collection on the front right wall is a super nice touch! To Yelp Reviewer who wrote that this place doesn't include avocado or guacamole with tacos: I don't think tacos normally come with avocado OR guacamole (depending on region & some places here probably add to appease Americans). $19 for FRESH 3-4 items (TONGUE!) is excellent.

Some of the best tamales i've had! Have to go back to try the guajillo tamales, they were sold out…read more Which brings me to my next point, arrive early! This spot is so good it gets packed on weekends, but you can secure a table while waiting on line. The atole de fresa was not too thick and hit the spot on a warm sunday morning. The concha wasn't dry and went down well with their cafe de olla - definitely a unique taste to coffee that i'd love to have daily.

After having dinner, my friend and I were walking around when we came across "Ruta Oaxaca Mexican…read moreCuisine." Ironically, earlier while trying to decide where to go for dinner, I had sent this restaurant to my friend but we ended up going somewhere else and came here for drinks afterward. The drinks were really good! We tried the "Sexy Oaxaca," which consists of 7 Misterios Doba-Yej Mezcal, Cointreau, grilled pineapple, mint agave, fresh lemon, and warm salt. This drink takes your taste buds on a ride. It starts off light and refreshing with the mezcal throughout, then finishes with a smoky effect from the pineapple since it's lit. It was really good!! I also tried the "VIP Old Fashion," made with Patrón Extra Añejo, Nixta corn liqueur, Angostura, and orange bitters. This was also good and was smoked prior to being served, giving it a smoky aftertaste. It's definitely a drink you sip slowly. Although we arrived about an hour and a half before closing, the waiter was very polite and professional. They also didn't rush us out once it was closing time, which I appreciated. There were other customers still there enjoying themselves as well. I will definitely be back for dinner. I'm very curious to see what the food is like. I really enjoyed the drinks.

I've had Ruta Oaxaca bookmarked for awhile and finally got around to trying it out. The atmosphere…read morewas great and the music was popping. Service wise it was alright. Nothing bad, but I felt like it could've been a bit better overall. The food was good though, I ordered the mixtos tacos, which let's you pick three different tacos from the menu. It was around $23, which is a little pricey. But the tacos were a decent size and definitely filling. My favorite thing I tried was the chori queso. I never had it before and it was honestly the standout dish for me. I would order that again. I also tried the enquites which is street corn. It had a bit of a burnt taste. I know some people enjoy that smokey flavor, but it really wasn't for me. Overall, it was a nice time and for some of the dishes too.

This is a cute tapas bar in Astoria w/chill service - you aren't rushed at all. They have a heated outdoor space but naaahhhh...it's too cold (I was shocked folks still venture to eat outside - they were setting up for an outdoor seating that was due to arrive) Y'all, I fcked up! If you pay with cash, it's 3.5% off however, b/c it was still Happy hour (M-F! Until 7PM )...still felt like a win... But now for the food and dranks..yous already know, it's probably not in order... Barrel aged Remington...(kinda like an elevated Old Fashioned) Mai Tai PA (NOT your traditional Mai Thai) Bar Dalia Punch (kinda like a strong + pretty RunPunch) Beef empanda Yuca fries (I've never been a fan BUT these were GOOD) Crispy Brussel sprouts (I am a sucka for sprouts so obviously, I HAD to get it) Calamari (this wasn't the best but then again, didn't eat it fast enough) Honey Sriracha Chicken Bites (call me a punk but this was spppiiicccccyyy even if it was tasty) Glad that I was able to go back to 'basics' w/a lil flaiiiirrrr
