I've been here twice, the first time i walked in the place had maybe three customers in the entire establishment… Score!…. I'm not a fan of bumping elbows with someone I don't know. The food was O.k. i had the steak tacos and i ordered a margarita and a mojito. The drinks were good, the male bartender obviously knew how to make a mojito. On my second visit, the place was packed, which is fine. It's just the service was lacking, it took the waitress sometime to get back to my table and I asked her for water three times before I finally got it. The drinks this time around tasted like watered down bug spray. Ugh i dont know, it tasted like someone took a can of raid and sprayed every glass and bottle behind the bar,then proceeded to make my drink. It was either that or the measured ingredients were off. It was drinkable though, apart from the buggy after taste. ;o
The meals are delicious. They come in huge portions! The clincher is that they accept reservations and large groups! It has a great vibe with decorations and a theme. I like the music and the food. I find that lighting in the restaurant is not bright. Hence, my food coma kicking in right after the meal. The waitresses are really nice and patient. The drinks are about ten bucks. The meals are a bit on the expensive side, but not crazier than Manhattan prices. They are worth it, since each dish is really equivalent to that of two meals.
Mexican restaurant in the heart of Sunnyside. Great happy hour menu so don't forget to take a look. For about $14 you get an appetizer, an entrée & a drink. Portions are a good size. Everything is good. I love the tortilla soup, wings, lomo saltado, nachos & coconut margarita. Everything is seasoned very well. I love coming here. Very romantic place if you are on a date.
Good food, music, drinks and company. What more could you ask for?
This Sunnyside gem is located right on Queens blvd and has alot to offer. Thanks to SRW (Sunnyside Restaurant Week) for exposing me to this part of town.
We dined in on a Friday night about 10 pm and the place was packed. They had the music pumping playing lots of Top 40, reggaeton and old school joints. The environment was live and everyone was definitely having a good time. After a few drinks the DJ had us dancing in our seats lol Since its around Halloween time, they had the entire restaurant decorated festively; ghouls hanging from the ceiling, blood splattered walls, spider webs etc. It was pretty cool and you could tell they put a hell of alot of work into decorating the entire restaurant.
The SRW prefix menu we were offered was a great deal. There were atleast 5 appetizer and entree options for us to choose from, two for dessert and two complimentary drinks (sangria/margarita) for only $28 pp! The portions were large and we all were pleased with the food. The calamari, chicken soup and quesadillas were perfection. My shrimp with garlic sauce was great, rice and beans good, the churros and flan for dessert were classically amazing. My fellow diners mentioned the crab in their shrimp and crab enchiladas was non existent but overall they were delicious.
The margaritas were strong (my friend could only finish one of hers lol) and the constant flow of sangrias had me feeling good. Our waitress made sure that we never had an empty glass, which was awesome. She was a bit slow though with picking up dirty plates and bringing out our food. We didn't mind as the drinks and convos kept us occupied. Overall she was very friendly and made wonderful suggestions to us.
Their regular menu looks extensive and I can't wait to come back and try other things.
Great atmosphere and good for groups. The waitstaff is very helpful and they have ridiculous happy hour specials (both for food and for drink). Entree portions are quiet large, but their appetizer portions are a bit disappointing.
Met my friend here for dinner and to catch up, I love that they have a special Mon- wed $15 for appetizer, dinner and a drink. I had the chicken tortilla soup, which was delicious and full of veggies rice and chicken. For dinner I had the chicken fajita, which I also loved. Perfect sizes because I was full but not stuffed that my stomach hurt. I gave my drink to my friend but their margaritas are good.
I was hesitant to go in. The restaurant is dark. Looks like a club from the outside. But my husband wanted Mexican food, so we gave it a go, without reading reviews.
My first experience with coconut frozen margaritas. Woowee! Delish and strong, plus you get a couple of dollars off during happy hour.
Our meals were great. I had shrimp ajillo: nice sized shrimp in a delicious garlic sauce served with beans, rice and salad. (Nothing was left on my plate.) T, always on the quest for good chili rellenos, ordered it here. He liked it better than our usual place in Georgia. Even the salsa was an upgrade from what we get at home: chunky, flavorful.
Yum.
I like garlic shrimp! But, it's not something I typically order when dining out. I've been met, time and time again, with lackluster versions of a simple, albeit difficult to perfect dish. Too much garlic, not enough garlic, burnt butter, miniscule or overcooked shrimp: there always seemed to be something off about my meal when I order this popular special.
Arriba Arriba executed it perfectly. Every aspect of my meal, from taste to plating was wonderful. I've also been able to sample their elote (AMAZING!), nachos, shrimp fajitas and enchiladas and a variety of their margaritas. I've yet to be disappointed!
Service itself is a little shaky. Wait staff is very kind and courteous, but a little bit scatterbrained at times. Overall, not a big deal and certainly not enough to keep me away from their tasty food and strong drinks.
