My wife and I came in for dinner on a Friday night. We made reservations because it was recommended, and it was a good thing we did — the place was packed. On some Thursday and Friday nights, the restaurant has a DJ, viewing parties, and live shows, and Sunday brunches are busy, so it’s important to check their events calendar before you visit.
The service was superb. Fast, friendly, and precise. The food was amazing; we started with a special appetizer, the Qui Mama, which is a deep-fried avocado fried in panko breading; and a regular menu appetizer, the Tamal de Frida, which is polenta topped with slow-cooked pork, queso fresco, and sauces. The tamal was excellent; the qui mama was superb.
For an entree, we had tacos. The Sesame Ginger Chicken tacos were sweet like teriyaki, and the Dos Cochinitas (crispy pork belly) were delectable.
Paired with our meal were drinks — my wife had the La Secreta red sangria, which she loved. I ordered the El Rey (cognac, pineapple juice, lime juice, and amaretto). It was splendid.
For dessert my wife had the tres leches, which was great, and I had the lava cake with raspberry syrup, vanilla ice cream, and whipped cream. It was, in a word, sublime.
The atmosphere is fun, but it can get really loud on event nights, so remember to check the restaurant's online schedule when you plan your visit. But definitely plan a visit: this is fantastic food in a great environment, in a fun neighborhood, not to be missed!
Best accessed via the N/W subway line, whose 30th Avenue stop is just 50 feet away. Parking in the area can be tricky on weekends, so mass transit is the way to go unless you live in the area.
