Excellent ambiance and a perfect feel of everything the culture has to offer. Very nice and welcoming staff, the food is delicious and flavorful. Would absolutely recommend. I ordered the chicken quesadilla and the birria tacos and both were phenomenal. Will be coming back.

Bright and colorful atmosphere. I had al pastor tacos, chicken enchilladas mole, and guacomole with chips and chorizo. Everything was delicious and the presentation with the flowers was a nice touch. The people that work there are very nice.

Surprisingly great! Came here on the recommendation of one of my favorite local bartenders. He told me that he went to a Michelin starred Mexican restaurant, and he came here, and that he and his wife actually enjoyed Ay Guey more. High praise. My wife and I came here to celebrate our anniversary and really enjoyed ourselves. The food was good, the drinks were great, and the staff was very friendly. Here's a few things that stood out and notable. -The restaurant sits on the border of what looks feels like a not so great area and a really nice area. As my wife and I crossed the street to enter the restaurant, she was screamed at specifically about her ethnicity. -The bathrooms at the place are awkwardly located and small. I could barely close the door. The sink, located outside is so small as to barely count as a sink. -The decor is unpretentious and pleasant. -While the food was plenty good, it felt like there was extra special attention paid to the cocktails. They not only looked good, but were actually incredible. I had two different drinks that both exceeded my expectations. My wife, who doesn't drink that much, had a sangria that she described as being the best she's ever had. -The owner is incredibly nice and wonderful to chat with. I honestly can't wait to come back here and try some more menu items and for sure some more cocktails.

Picked a spot at the bar and ordered a regular margarita with a salt rim. Delicious! They have happy hour from 4-7 with certain drinks for $10. The featured cocktail the "Woodside-TEA-Rita" must have been popular because it was out of stock! For dinner I ordered the chicken tacos, but there were plenty of other options that I was interested in trying. As the pictures show, GREAT presentation and even better flavor! I had quick and attentive service. The overall ambiance was fun and festive. There were several other parties dining and another one walked in while I was there.

Don't be fooled by the looks or location, you'll be transported to a little corner of Mexico here. The food is FANTASTIC. There are dishes with familiar ingredients or names, but I promise when they're actually served, it's not your typical fare. The ceviche and grilled octopus are must haves with flavor profiles unlike what you've had elsewhere. The picaditas are so yummy and unique if you haven't explored deep into Mexican regional cuisine. And the sopa azteca is a warm freshly served delight. I've tried other dishes here before that were also delicious, but I've named my consistent favorites. As for the drinks, WOW is an understatement. The cocktails here are truly superb - both alcoholic and non-alcoholic ones. The owner and bartender Artemio is super knowledgeable in spirits and can craft you something off menu in a heartbeat if your palate so desires. Actually, Artemio is usually the main staff member on the floor, so he's clearly a hands on, do it all owner and maintains the warmest most welcoming demeanor throughout. Though tucked away off the main stretches of Woodside/Astoria, you should absolutely make the effort to visit. A must try quality Mexican restaurant!

We had such a delicious Mexican dinner here!! Mexican food is my FAVE and they did NOT disappoint! Here's what we had: ~Red Sangria ~Ay Peachy Guey! Bianco tequila, Pisco, Mezcal Mist, Pulque, Peach, Apry, Peach Purée, fresh lemon juice, orange bitters ~Queso fundido with short rib , Mexican cheese, pico de Gallo, avocado, and corn tortillas-This was one of the best appetizers I've ever had. For cheese lovers like myself, I cannot stress this enough, this is a MUST ORDER!! The cheese pull was immaculate. The cheese was salty, stringy, and had a nice little crust on the bottom. PERFECTION! ~Al pastor picaditas- pork marinated in achiote, pineapple salad, black beans, salsa, cilantro- Def my second fave thing we ordered! They were so crispy and the pork was so tender and went so deliciously with the pineapple. They were fantastic! ~Birria tacos- braised brisket, pickled red onion, red sauce, served with consume ~Baja fish tacos- mahi mahi, corn tortillas, chipotle aioli coleslaw, red sauce. Love the texture that the slaw provided. ~Shrimp enchiladas- green sauce, Mexican cheese, crema, queso fresco, onion - The sauce was so fresh and flavorful! Not to mention, the gorgeous presentation! ~short rib enchiladas- green sauce, Mexican cheese, crema, queso fresco, onion We absolutely can't wait to come back as I'll be dreaming about that perfect queso fundido and the picaditas! Highly recommend you try this delicious Mexican restaurant in Queens! You'll be happy you did!

My dad & I passed by for a quick brunch over the weekend - brunch is from 12-4! We came in a bit before 4 & were able to get seated quickly! The place itself is cozy, the bartender / server was funny & made sure to make us feel welcomed! There was a huge soccer game on & he gave me the remote to the tv to put it on! (Sadly it wasn't available via cable but the gesture was much appreciated!) My dad got the short ribs torta & I ended up getting the short ribs salad! We both had 2 drinks each (I had the paloma, he had the marg - I think I prefer the marg but to each their own!) I didn't know about the birria quesadilla but will def be back to try it out!

We went on a Wednesday night and there was one more family just starting their dinner. The space is intimate and small but nicely decorated. The server was friendly and welcoming. We had the chips and salsa, suerdo tacos, and short ribs enchiladas. For drinks we had a white sangria and ginger ale. My favorite were the short ribs enchiladas and it came with rice and beans. The short ribs were tender and the enchiladas had good flavor. The rice and beans had the right amount of seasoning even my daughter ate it and she usually doesn't eat rice and beans like that. The suadero tacos were okay but could have used more seasoning. The chips and salsa were could. I like that they had their own home made tortilla chips and salsa. I would definitely go back and try their other dishes like the soups, ceviche and picaditos. Presentation was beautiful.

Came here on Sunday afternoon for brunch when I initially didn't realize they would be serving brunch. It was a happy little accident as our friend Bob Ross used to say because it allowed us to try dishes we weren't initially planning on getting. The space is colorful, with artistic touches throughout. It was surprisingly empty (especially in hindsight after the great food and service) with a father and young daughter sharing a meal. We ordered drinks but they were out of the apple La Mexicana soda and Fresh Squeezed Grapefruit juice - we get the pineapple soda and fresh squeezed OJ instead both were great choices. (The manager/owner? comped the OJ as a gesture - very kind and unexpected) We started with the Crispy Chorizo Guacamole which was fantastic and super fresh. The other half of the bowl holding delicious Chorizo that was crumbled and perfectly cooked. Freshly made tortilla chips came with this and I had to stop myself to save room for my meal. I initially wanted the short rib enchiladas, but since it was brunch I went with the short rib torta as substitute. This was served on a nicely toasted ciabatta roll (the owner said later its the only torta he serves - a little different from the usual. He doesn't like the quality of the traditional Telera rolls he find in NYC). A delicious sandwich with lots of tender short rib. Fries came with this and they were nicely done, but I didn't have too many because of the guac and chips earlier. The Huevos Rancheros were absolutely fantastic. Three sunny eggs sitting on corn tortilla, Oaxaca cheese, black beans and the star of the show - a smoky tatemada morita sauce not overly spicy with such great flavor. This is a neighborhood gem that Woodside is seemingly neglecting. This is the kind of place you want in your hood! - friendly outgoing owner, great food and drinks in a nicely decorated space. I plan on coming back soon bringing a couple of friends to check out their cerviche and get those enchiladas along with those craft cocktails.
