Reviews for La Vecina in Astoria, NY
Im not sure if the dine in experience is better in terms of food quality , but my delivery of a large sancocho de pollo y... Cachapa con queso was embarrassing. 1. That?s not a large sancocho and seriously ?. This is what you serve. 2. Cachapa conqueso , did the cook have an argument with it and won or something . Finally taste was not good at all , just a bland mess.Never again , I do not recommend. Read more
A. Hidden. Gem. I need more people to know about this place because WOW. The service is always so friendly and on point. The... drinks will have you giggling, and the food will have you ready to call it a night; I slept good that night. Although therearen?t many vegan options, you can make any plate vegan/vegetarian with their crispy chick?n option. I can never find aperfectly crispy vegan chicken, but I found it here! Everything mixes so well together and the side sauces (cilantro based hotsauce and Mayo/ketchup) satisfy my need for condiments. Lastly, the dessert isn?t on the menu, but please ask for the passionfruit moose!! Read more
Went here for drinks and light food. DRINKS: The drinks are gorgeous but I didn't taste a drop of alcohol in them. Tasted... straight up virgin, still very flavorful though. FOOD: The food was good! I had arepa with grilled steak, egg, ripe plantains(maduros), and cheese. Hard to eat without making a mess. The stuffed tostones with guacamole and shrimp was good. A little hardto eat. SERVER/SERVICE: Our server was very nice and knowledgeable. Checked on us consistently. Very delightful. VIBE: Chilledout with a bit of a lounge. Loud reggaeton music played. Read more
Where do I start ? I love this place! I tried it for the first time a few months back with my girlfriend and I can?t wait to go... back. The energy of this establishment was fantastic and welcoming. It is a hidden gem on Steinway Street, I just wish morepeople knew about this restaurant! As a marketer I would publish more content on all social media platforms for all to see. Thisplace is really tasty and great to enjoy yourself with friends and family. Again, I only had this once but it is already on mytop 5 FAVORITES. Can?t wait to visit again , thank you. Read more
Delicious lentil soup if you want something warm on a cold winter day. The pork arepa was delicious as well. I liked that the... breading used for the arepa was soft and sweet yellowish color. Maybe it's made from corn? As opposed to the white sometimeskind of tough texture breading that are common with other arepa places. Maybe that kind is made from flour? Succulent, tenderpieces of pork with the Maduro and cheese and any of the sauces they provide you with. Nice, clean airy, vibe and friendly staffmake this a go to spot! Read more
I ordered a few things from here to try. I will say for the price it was a lot of food so it?s a good bang for your buck. The... cachapa was really heavy and messy. The yuca balls were delicious. Probably the highlight of my meal and then we ordered thechicken soup. It came with rice and tostones. It was average. Nothing was wrong with the food. I just don?t think I?d orderagain from here. There wasn?t anything super special or memorable about the meal. Read more
