Good music, good food, good service. Would absolutely come back here, really not that much room I was debating on asking if they could let us upstairs but it’s whatever, I was able to order custom drinks not on the menu to my table, the food came quick even though there were a lot of people. The staff were very attentive.

I had such a great time at Fresco’s Grand Cantina! This LGBTQ-owned restaurant is truly the place to be — the atmosphere is vibrant, welcoming, and full of energy. The staff are amazing, the food is delicious, and the entertainment makes the whole experience unforgettable. It’s the perfect spot for bigger parties or for anyone looking to have the feel of a club night without being in a club all night. All fun, all engaging, and all-around fantastic. Highly recommend checking it out!

My friend and I stumbled upon this Mexican restaurant/bar while exploring Queens, and wow—what a gem! The food was insanely good—flavourful and just hits the spot. The atmosphere was super lively and fun, with a drag show that had us laughing. The staff were the cherry on top—so welcoming and cool, especially Johnny, who was an absolute sweetheart. They even charged my phone for me!Honestly, this place has it all: great vibes, amazing service, and energy 😍

Roberto is the best! So are all the managers. The drinks and food are absolutely delicious. I’ll come here as many times as I can. Especially for bingo with the best queens in Astoria !
