My girlfriend and I came here for brunch and we had a great time. Making a reservation online was simple, our waitress Andrea was very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. The guacamole & chips and truffle fries were really good! Our mains were the chicken Maduro waffles and chicken Caeser salad delicious! The music was dope too. If you're looking for a cool brunch spot with food, music, and drinks are good all around, I would definitely recommend this spot.

Mojo, a vibrant Latin American restaurant nestled in Forest Hills, NY, offers a truly captivating dining experience that transports you straight to a tropical paradise. From the moment you step inside, the ambiance is undeniably beautiful, evoking the feeling of being in a lush, exotic country, setting the perfect stage for an unforgettable meal.The culinary journey at Mojo is nothing short of exceptional. We indulged in a variety of dishes, and each one impressed. The cocktails were a fantastic start; we ordered two, and they were not only delicious but also commendably strong, perfectly setting the mood for the evening. The appetizers were truly excellent and bursting with flavor, showcasing the kitchen's mastery of Latin American cuisine. As for the main meals, they were, quite simply, insanely good – we were genuinely blown away by the incredible taste and authenticity.While the experience is rich in flavor and atmosphere, it's worth noting the pricing. Expect to spend around $150 for two, which we found to be a fair price given the high quality of the dishes, the delightful drinks, and the immersive ambiance.One practical consideration for diners is parking. It can be quite challenging to find parking directly around the restaurant. However, there are convenient paid parking options available near the nearby Target, making it manageable to access this culinary gem.Mojo is a standout Latin American restaurant that delivers on all fronts: exquisite dishes, potent cocktails, a stunning tropical ambiance, and a fair price point for the quality offered. Despite the minor parking hurdle, it's a highly recommended destination for anyone seeking a flavorful escape in Forest Hills.

Looking for a great meal? Look no further. Great appetizers and entrees, fantastic service and a fun room. The music growing in volume with each song is the only thing that could change. But I'll forgo hearing my husband speak to eat here again!
