So here's the deal, my co worker and I were working in this area today, and I have eaten at many different establishments around here previously. Barring the drive to Elmhurst, Queens, I really do like this area, I don't get too come here too often for work, but I always enjoy my time here!
Late lunch, in a bit of a time crunch, we are trying to look up places on Yelp, but guess what every second storefront is a restaurant!!! We are hungry and impatient, lets just go here, there is an "A" on the door, patrons inside and it looked clean and well kept. I finally find the place on Yelp, coming in at 1.5 stars – uh oh, but in true Yelpie fashion, I must decide for myself!
Looks like this place has recently opened, its a Spanish Diner, who knew? It looks like a diner inside primarily with booth seating, a counter with a full bar and tables in the back. We were seated immediately, our waitress was very nice, limited English but enough to handle our orders, she was very accommodating, even split the bill for us at the end because we forgot to tell her in the beginning. The food came out in an average amount of time, so no complaints there!
So we look at the menu, and its a diner menu, but it's all Mexican/Spanish dishes (cool). They also have a full breakfast menu, and like any other diner open 24/7.
We started with Aguas Frescas, Tamarindo and Melon, they were good and refreshing. For lunch I had 3 tacos – Carnitas and Barbacoa (which was not cheek meat, like i'm used to) it was a GOAT taco!!! GOODNESS – oh my! I love goat and lamb meat, in Spanish food I have mainly seen it as a Cabrito Stew. I'm now impressed! The tacos were good, carnitas were nicely shredded pieces of pork then sauteed, the goat taco was awesome, the meat nice and tender with that gamey flavor I love! I kinda wish I had only gotten the goat tacos. There is a fresh avocado sauce that layers the tacos, really fresh with small chunks of avocado. My co worker had The Carne Enchilada burrito, definitely a "looker" a large burrito with red, white and green sauce, also served with rice and guacamole. She enjoyed her burrito, and said it was prepared well and really tasty.
So there you have it, despite the 1.5 stars this place gets, I cannot say it is all that bad, I also got a "Maverick" badge for checking in here!
I don't know why they get only 2 stars at yelp since their food is not bad. Had entrana with nopales and found both are very well grilled. The sides are good too. However, their horchata is very sweet and tasteless, as well as their salsa.
I ordered food thru seamless for delivery for the first time. I ordered 2 chicken quesadillas and an order of nachos. The delivery time was between 30-40 minutes and it came within that time frame. When I opened the bags I noticed one order of chicken quesadillas was missing. I called the restaurant to let them know and they sent the delivery guy back and eveything was fixed. Luckily the restaurant was up the block so it didn't take no time at all. The Quesadillas were very fulfilling and the nachos were were topped off with the works. I would definitely order from here again
