I had such a great time here with my girlfriend on a Friday night. There was a bit of a wait - only because they wanted to prepare a table for us by the front window. Mariachis were in the back area on a stage singing and playing their instruments and we longed to be seated there but it was alright. We still had the music. The food was incredible. I ordered something like "Chicken sautéed Mexican style" and wow it was amazing. Since it was Halloween time they had a lot of decorations up. The usual decor though was nice. From what I was told, a "Basurero" is a dump - so you see lots of old junk on the walls that actually makes the place pretty interesting to look at. This is going to be a weird thing to say but the men and women that worked here were surprisingly good looking and well mannered to boot. The place seems good for groups, dates, and even coming alone as it seemed like the bar area had some patrons that looked like they were having a great time. I always had the impression that this was just a sports bar but I was wrong. Later, more mariachis played and went around the tables to serenade people. It was fantastic. I love that this spot is in the middle of Astoria. My only gripe is that if you go later on at night there will definitely be a wait. There was a small group waiting to be seated- standing nearby nearly the entire time my girlfriend and I ate. I almost felt bad like I should finish my food quickly so they could sit. Anyway, I wish I had checked El Basurero sooner. I'll definitely go back again!

The place overall is good. The food was good. However, the place didn't have the heat on and it was the coldest day in NY ❄️🥶.

Food 8 out of 10, atmosphere and service was great, the drinks were too strong they need to watch how they pour a cocktail shouldn't taste like a straight shot

Pretty nice restaurant with a great portion. My food was delicious & my friends also enjoyed their plates. Overall, great atmosphere, food, and a clean spot. I'm giving it 4/5 because the banging when announcing a customer’s birthday can be quite intrusive and too loud. I still loved my time there. I would definitely go there again. 🫶🏾

"The food was very good, but the service was terrible. Our waiter was very rude and unfriendly. I brought my friends from North Carolina who were visiting New York for the first time and trying Colombian food for the first time, but this person made me look bad. He was very unkind and acted as if asking for anything was a bother. When I tried to ask for a manager's assistance, somebody at the bar told me the manager wasn't there and that they would let them know. I’m leaving my review here because I know the other employees will just cover for each other. It’s a very poor service experience. To make matters worse, they include a mandatory tip, and it’s a shame to know that money goes to someone who works that way."

I think the place is good for Appetizers and drinks. Ordered the Entraña bandeja paisa, no flavor at all. The guacamole with chicharrón and tostones were good as was the mini empanadas. Service lacks a lot maybe because the gratuity is included already so I guess they don’t put as much effort in customer service. Ordered arepas and they forgot to put the order in the kitchen as well. I will go back but like I mentioned good place for appetizers and drinks.

The plate w/ different kinds of sausage & stuff was delicious, couldn’t stop eating the red sausage! The guacamole was very good. The beans were different but they were good! The steak w/ fries was also good in my opinion, my husband didn’t really like the steak though. Place was playing very cool latin music & there was people dancing. Place was big & looked clean.

(If I could give zero stars, I would) I’m extremely disappointed. The food was horrible. The beans had suds in them, the rice was hard and had no flavor, and the calamari was overcooked. Even the sauce was watery and bland. Everything tasted rushed and poorly prepared. I will not be ordering from here again. Not worth the money !

Paying almost $40 for a free tip service when you have to wait 15 to 30 minutes to call the waitress and be served, and then she just comes to the table, puts napkins on your table, and doesn't even ask if you're ready? I don't think they deserve to steal your money for a service they don't provide. DEMAND GOOD SERVICE FOR WHAT YOU ARE BEING CHARGED
