La Vecina - Queens

I had already ate here in other occasions and the food was pleasant, fresh and tasty, the waitresses always provided good customer service and the restaurant itself it’s aesthetically pleasing, spacious and clean. This past Sunday night however, I was extremely disappointed with the food I was served; pechuga empanizada breaded chicken) to begin with the chicken portion has been shrunken to half, it was locking freshness and taste, the rice was not fresh at all; some pieces were hard to chew and others felt like old rice, the beans were okay and the fries did not feel fresh or crunchy. Additionally I ordered maduros with melted cheese on the side and they were extremely burnt, not soft and not sweet, as of the cheese it did not feel melted rather stiff. Could have been a change in the chef or the quality of the food but I left feeling very disappointed with what I paid.

Honestly don’t know what to say. This place is amazing. Used to get it all the time when I lived in Astoria. Now I live in New Jersey. Drove here just for the elote. The arepas are incredible. Build your own. You won’t regret it.

The food was excellent. It was so fresh. The server was fairly attentive. The music was a bit too loud for conversation But that wouldn’t stop me from going back to this fantastic restaurant

Everything is good, but try the sancocho and let me know. Just fire so good.

This place was amazing. We went to celebrate a birthday. The server was very attentive and the food was good. They have a perfect photo opportunity in the back. You must try the salchipapas!! Definitely plan on going back.
