This burrito did not have cheese or pico del gallo in it and there was so much oil it had what appeared to be clear vegetable oil leaking out. not even greasy which I have had greasy in all kinds of good ways but OILY. I think the chef forgot to put pico del gallo in and instead put canola oil. the burrito was $23.00 with tax & tip (and unfinishable).staff extremely nice. restaurant good vibe. friend recommended the food - said it was the best theyve had. friend needs to try more places.I attached photos so you could see that the oil turned the paper towels translucent.

This was our first time coming to this restaurant, and this restaurant is one of the best ive had tacos. Everything is super delicious, and the waiters were super nice and loved the ambiance beautiful. They kept the menu simple and easy to read. Im definitely looking forward to going back again to try other items on the menu.

Ate dinner here last night. Ordered guacamole and chips for an appetizer. The guacamole was definitely missing something. Unfortunately it was not flavorful. However the tacos were tasty. My favorite was the beef. I also ordered sangria which was good. Service was good overall.

This place is so nice. I went here after going to the museum. I wasnt planning to go here but Im so glad that I did. The restaurant is so charming. Its perfect for if youre going out with friends, family, or going for a date night. The vibe is so nice. The food is delicious. The flavors and textures are just perfect. I had the fish tacos and the nachos. I live so far from here but let me tell you I went home still feeling happy from eating such good food. Tomas was so kind to us. Theres art all over the restaurant. Even going into the bathroom, the bathroom was nice and smelled so clean. If I lived closer I would probably just eat nachos and tacos here every week. I was told they also have Sunday brunch. This is an inclusive place, which I think is very cool of them.

Must say this Gem is outstanding!!!Star is super nice, friendly and accommodating.The food is delicious. Came with a group and we ordered so much and the piece was so good.Beside the flavors and quality of food, the price tops it all.Low prices, lower then other places and better taste and value.The drinks are strong as well and they have frozen options.Must eat location 10/10

First time coming here with the girls and as soon as I took a bite of the chips and guacamole I fell in love. The food was tasty, the atmosphere was so chill and our servers were always checking in on us and very friendly! The tres leches cake is the best Ive ever had too. Definitely coming back again!

Came here for drag brunch and it was a fun show!Food was good for the most part. The cantina nachos were the bomb. I had the shrimp tacos but I wasn’t very happy with those, not enough flavor or texture for me personally. Everyone in the group seemed happy with their food.The drinks were so yummy! They have different flavored mojitos like dragonfruit which seemed to be a popular choice. I highly recommend you get the Grande especially if you’re there for drag brunch, I ordered the regular size and went through it quickly, upgraded to the Grande after.

Very nice place with great atmosphere, very tasty food and drinks and the most pleasant and attentive staff. Only the desserts do not recommend them since they are very basic and the cake of three milks was not at all fresh.

Review №13

Food is fine, service is terrible. Check comes with an automatic 20% tip so waiters don’t really care about providing good service. Had to ask several times for more water at the table as he kept forgetting. Also asked for another of a side order and had to remind them twice. There were only four tables at the restaurant so it wasn’t like they were busy. An automatic 20% doesn’t give incentive to provide even just adequate service.

We had a great time at Frescos Cantina. It was our first time, 2 adults, a 12yr and 6yr old. Street parking was quick and easy. The latin music playing was great as was the decor. Our server Adrian was outstanding!!!!! He knew the menu well and gave recommendations for the kids and adults which we appreciated and glad we accepted. Adrian was also kid friendly which was a huge us for me. The manager was also present and checked on us which was nice. The food was great....everyone loved their meals which were tacos, fajitas, burgers, and the Peruvian fried rice. All of it was gone 🙂. We also ordered 2 cocktails which were approved by my non drinking partner....the Moscow mule and coconut mojito...yum yum. Everything was great here and I cant wait to return. Also the place is super cute and chill and definitely nice for a big group too.

Great ambiance, but the food was not what I expected. Definitely took a while and it was a mix of Latin cuisines and not exclusively Mexican. Will come back to try the tacos though. They also have cool deals during the week.

I had the best time at Frescos Cantina yesterday. I celebrated my birthday at the restaurants weekly drag brunch, and it was such a blast! The food is very tasty (I had the breakfast burrito and a chocolate volcano cake as my birthday dessert), and the alcohol is plentiful. They have a $35 brunch special that includes an entree of your choice and a full carafe of either sangria or mimosa (yes, a full carafe per person!). Be prepared to make a day of it, as the drag show takes about three hours in total. The drag queens, Gina Tonic and Golden Delicious, are hilarious and talented, and they made sure everyone was having a great time. I highly recommend this place for a Sunday Funday like no other!

Ive heard great things about this place so, I wanted to try their menu, however the host was busy on the phone and looked bored. I didnt mind we all have a bad day, then at the bar the barted didnt noticed me but once he did he asked what you want? I got the menus because I asked - then he yelled at me do you want water but I was after a drink to wich he yelled at me do you want water YES OR NO?so I accepted the water. I keep looking at the menu but it was uncomfortable so I left disappointed.

Review №33

Came for cinco de mayo. Drag queens were amazing, but the service was terrible. We put in an appetizer and entrees and all of them came an hour and half after we sat down bc either our waiter forgot or there was a problem with the system. On top of that only 3 people got their entrees and we had to wait 20minutes for the fourth to receive theirs. Wait time was totally unacceptable. Then they overcharged us but $90 each, only fixing it when we pointed us out. Gratuity was included (table of 4, 18%).Quality of food and service is not worth your time, skip!

Absolutely love going to this place. Especially during the drag performances. The drinks are fantastic and there are so many cocktail options. Buttttt the food was so mediocre borderline bad. If you have to eat here I’d recommend “American” food or anything fried. The tacos are a big no for me. The atmosphere is beautiful and the staff is amazing but every time I go I make sure to eat before.

Omg the drag brunch here is beyond amazing. One of, if not, the top drag brunch in the city. Make sure you make reservations in advance and bring all the money you will spend it on the queens & great staff. The drinks were delicious and the food was good. The staff and owners are so attractive & sweet. I cant wait until I can come back.

Review №42

I love the look of this place. Its a very compact space but doesnt feel tight. The staff is friendly and professional. Good music on.My only negative comment is the price. I paid nearly $20 for a burger and fries. Mine you, they were good, but in my opinion, not worth that much. However, if you come to this place, its apparent that they are not serving the lowest price services. Plus, is a bar. So dont let this disappoint you. Come with the right expectations.Overall, cool place. Would recommend to anyone!

Our favorite Mexican restaurant in Astoria!! The food is fantastic, they have the sweetest staff and the decor is on point! As if they couldnt get any better, we found out they do a Drag Brunch!!Definitely the best brunch deal in Astoria and what a show they put on! You get your own personal craft of Sangria or Mimosa, an appetizer and a meal while the Queens keep you entertained the entire time!It was so much fun and cant wait to go back!

A true neighborhood gem run. Went here for Drag Race and also Drag Brunch (for my birthday) and everything was absolutely perfect. The drinks were strong and delicious (and not too sugary), I got the Sangria. The food was absolutely delicious, I dont remember the name of it, but it was a steak/fries bowl dish thing. The staff was excellent and so friendly. The entire vibe of the place is wonderful and the owner has been there both times Ive gone. Lets not forget the AMAZING DRAG QUEENS that put perhaps the best drag brunch show Ive ever seen!

A first for me! Went to the My Favorite Murder Drag brunch today, and had such a great time! The food was very good, and I loved the sangria. The best part was the wonderful show from Gloria Swansong and Ms. Golden Delicious. Worth the trip for certain. Go and have a great time.

A hidden gem of a resto in Astoria. From the outside it looked like a local bar until my friend took me and I liked the antique decor of the place . The food was surprisingly good. Second time around, I took my husband to try their fish taco but I ordered the shrimp taco by mistake . For someone who does not eat much shrimp, I actually enjoyed it . My husband and I also shared surf and turf tacos which was simple but was just as tasty.Their churros had a nice chocolate surprise inside and their tres leches had a hint of peach but not too sweet at all.Ive been back to this place several times and definitely enjoy it each time.Their fish taco def is great. The ropa vieja and salmon are just good.

What a great spot Im so happy this place opened since theyve been open theyve had a steady crowd. Fresh food and homemade chips and salsa. They have an amazing happy hour you cant pass up from 3 to 8. I mean its unbelievable. Next week they are revealing the entire menu that will be an event for sure. This is a perfect date spot because its tacos, margaritas, and chips and salsa perfect amount of food and drink for a great price.

The food was tasty, I really enjoyed the tacos and empanadas! The young man Andre I believe his name was who served us was very kind and helpful. Some of the sizes of portions for the price were a bit heftier then I would expect for this area. While it is in Queens and I believe technically Long Island City unsure if it warranted the price tag. I would come back for the food but not add the apps and drinks so the bill wasnt so much.

Our experience at Frescos Cantina was pretty bad. We were seated quickly enough for a party of 5, but it took an long time to even give our drink orders and get our waters (Im someone who has worked in restaurants before, so Im more understanding of service issues typically than most, but the place was almost empty and our server kept talking with friends at a table). Then our food order took almost 70 minutes to be served, and 2 peoples orders were missing, so theirs took another 20. One of the shrimp tacos had one single small shrimp in it, and most of the portions seemed very small for the price. To make up for the missing food, they gave a comped drink to one friend, and it had a fly in it, so they didnt drink it. They replaced it when we pointed it out. Luckily they took a few items off the bill for the mix up, but I wont be going back. Some of the food was tasty, so Ill still give it 2 out of 5.

The margaritas alone should be a reason to stop in here, a bunch of different flavors each one made well. The tacos here are amazing, each type of taco is well made, well seasoned and brought to you by the friendliest people in the world. The wait staff and bartenders make you feel at home, while also creating a beautiful environment

An awesome blend of influences from Tex-Mex to Cuban to South American and everywhere in between. The Pastelon taco (ground beef, plantain, special sauce) is one of the most comforting foods that Ive ever had. Hands down one of the best taco places in the city. Their drink selection is EXTENSIVE as well, and Ive never had something from here I didnt wish I had more of after eating it.

I almost never do five stars on a first visit, but I could see this place getting five after a few visits. I tried the acquits gorda, pastelon, and Phuket tacos. The menu is interesting, both with respect to tacos and drinks, and in a good way. The tacos I tried were all very good. The shrimp in the Phuket were tiny, which wasn’t what I expected, and that one was less flavorful than I expected based on the menu—I could pass on that to try some others on another visit.They bring out chips and salsa when you sit down, which is not so common any more, and is a nice touch. The chips have and herb on them, probably cilantro, although didn’t taste it specifically after loading up the chips with salsa.Friendly and prompt service. I imagine they fill up on evenings, by mid-afternoon when they open is easy.I wish secret sauce could, for once, mean something other than thousand island. Unfortunately, his isnt the spot for that. I dont do mayo, but I decided to roll he dice here. It looks like water thousand island.On the upside, their salsa and hot sauces are very good. The hot sauces come in unlabeled boxes and might be housemade.Reasonable prices, although they make sense for the area. $4-$5 per taco, about $10 for drinks. Three tacos or so is plenty for a lighter meal, so youre probably looking at at least $30 per person.They have guest WiFi, which is a nice bonus--ask for the password.

We placed an order at 8:15PM to be delivered (hours listed say they are open until 11PM) a half hour later our order was cancelled (we weren’t notified) and when we tried to check the status online at 9PM (when it was scheduled for delivery), it let us know that it had been cancelled at 8:30. We called to find out why and why we had not been notified, and the woman on the phone was extremely rude. She said they closed at 8 — we tried to let her know that their hours were mislisted and she further gave us an attitude. This seems to be pretty normal service based on their other poor reviews. I wouldn’t order from here.

I just ordered a simple skirt steak, not expecting it to happen to be one of the best cuts of beef I have ever had.

The food is 5 stars, 6 if possible. The only issue is the time for delivery. But it’s so worth it. Consider this 4.5 stars.
