La Vecina - (Near Astoria, NY)

2 /5 Nana C: Food and everything is good but I dont like when the bill came because the waitress already add gratuity 18% on it. We came only 3 persons not a large group of party for 5 or 6. Normally my husband and I alway give 20% tip but I dont like the way they put gratuity on it. I saw customer only few tables maybe because of this.

5 /5 J S: Went at night with my husband and we had a great time. The ambience was perfect. The music was good and the volume was perfect so were able to have fun and deep conversations. The waitress was very attentative and made sure our food, drinks, and hookah were good. I ordered two frozen strawberry margaritas and it has the perfect blend of sweetness and alcohol. Great flavor. The food was perfectly cooked and well priced! There are many good things on the menu so it was hard to choose from. The Bandeja is my favorite. For $25 I received so much and took some home! A must try in Astoria.

5 /5 Elizabeth Espinal: This place was amazing! Such a hidden gem. We were a party of 20 and our table was ready for us upon arrival. The food was great!! Did not get one complaint. Also didn’t wait long for the food. The drinks were tasty! Our server, Patricia was so lovely. Very attentive and helpful.

5 /5 karina k: The food here tastes good and there is variety bc its fusion Latin food. But the first thing you notice is that the music is way too loud. We could barely hear each other sitting super close to each other. The atmosphere is like a night club but its a restaurant so its confusing. They had a live DJ tonight 3/28/25. The DJ was great. The music is really good though esp if you like Bad Bunny and all the cool Latin singers. The drinks are good and fun. The Hennessy colada was good and had plenty of alcohol but the ice was lumpy so it didnt get blended fully. I really enjoyed the choices of food coming from El Salvador (Curtido), Venezuela, Cuban, Mexican, etc, I loved the Maduros bc they were done perfectly and were ripe. The tostones were very crispy and some were too hard. The pernil was good but a bit dry. The food was good but the best part of this place is that theres a fusion of dishes from different countries.
