Food and drinks are really good here! Had their cantina nachos, wings and margaritas. The staff were super friendly and service was quick. They also have a larger location, Frescos Grand Cantina, that I love going to. Def check out both!

This is one of my favorite spots. The first time we went to this restaurant, it happened to be drag brunch. We fell in love with the environment, performances and food. The owners are down to earth and so friendly and kind. The sangria is the best!

I had an amazing time at Frescos “little” Cantina! The food was packed with flavor, the drinks were refreshing, and the staff treated us with so much kindness. Definitely coming back! 🤍✨

I stopped in to Frescos unknowing of how the food would taste, however I was grabbing food for my friend and I. I got the loaded nachos and the steak with rice & beans dinner. I’ll have to say that food absolutely tasted soooo good I was almost disappointed I didn’t get 2 dinners. However, as my friend and I picked at both the nachos and the steak dinner we became full very fast and hardly put a dent into both meals. We ended clearing some space lol, and ate the rest of the food that solidified the meals greatness. The atmosphere was cute and date like in the evening time that I was there. It wasn’t as busy as I’d expect with great service and food like this, however it was a Tuesday night if I’m not mistaken. The server whom I forgot his name already because it took me too long to write this review was an amazing experience. He explained their menu with specials they had that night and intentionally cooked up some convo which was cool. As I waited for my food the customer at the bar began to talk me up as well and there it was, a fluctuation of good vibes, a drink and good character to let me know that I’d return their again to stay and sit down for a meal and drink this time.

I had come into Astoria to check out the neighborhood to consider it for somewhere to live and I stopped into this restaurant. The owner happened to be my server! He was so amazing, such a sweet and genuine guy and he definitely assisted me a lot with recommendations for the area which I appreciate more than anything. For the food….it was amazing!!!! I only ate half of it because it was such a huge burrito with so much in it! When I move to Astoria I can see me and my friend at this restaurant frequently! I can’t recommend this enough!!

The pictures were dark, but the food was DELICIOUS! I’m from Peru and that Peruvian 🇵🇪 rice was authentic! The 6 of us loved every bite. We finished all of our food and didn’t even need to-go boxes. I had, Ropa Vieja con Pico de Gallo and the flavor was so good. Also, how did they make such amazing black beans? Really though!

This was our first time coming to this restaurant, and this restaurant is one of the best i've had tacos. Everything is super delicious, and the waiters were super nice and loved the ambiance beautiful. They kept the menu simple and easy to read. I'm definitely looking forward to going back again to try other items on the menu.

This place is so nice. I went here after going to the museum. I wasn't planning to go here but I'm so glad that I did. The restaurant is so charming. It's perfect for if you're going out with friends, family, or going for a date night. The vibe is so nice. The food is delicious. The flavors and textures are just perfect. I had the fish tacos and the nachos. I live so far from here but let me tell you I went home still feeling happy from eating such good food. Tomas was so kind to us. There's art all over the restaurant. Even going into the bathroom, the bathroom was nice and smelled so clean. If I lived closer I would probably just eat nachos and tacos here every week. I was told they also have Sunday brunch. This is an inclusive place, which I think is very cool of them.

Excellent food, drinks and atmosphere. Fantastic service too. I will return on my next visit to Costco! My only request is ditch the QR menu, the webpage was junky and made ordering hard

Must say this Gem is outstanding!!! Star is super nice, friendly and accommodating. The food is delicious. Came with a group and we ordered so much and the piece was so good. Beside the flavors and quality of food, the price tops it all. Low prices, lower then other places and better taste and value. The drinks are strong as well and they have frozen options. Must eat location 10/10

Brandon made us the best Mojito and the most amazing Piña colada ever! And Nicole was the sweetest and most efficient server! The food was delicious and well presented too!

Came here for drag brunch and it was a fun show! Food was good for the most part. The cantina nachos were the bomb. I had the shrimp tacos but I wasn’t very happy with those, not enough flavor or texture for me personally. Everyone in the group seemed happy with their food. The drinks were so yummy! They have different flavored mojitos like dragonfruit which seemed to be a popular choice. I highly recommend you get the Grande especially if you’re there for drag brunch, I ordered the regular size and went through it quickly, upgraded to the Grande after.

We had a great time at Frescos Cantina. It was our first time, 2 adults, a 12yr and 6yr old. Street parking was quick and easy. The latin music playing was great as was the decor. Our server Adrian was outstanding!!!!! He knew the menu well and gave recommendations for the kids and adults which we appreciated and glad we accepted. Adrian was also kid friendly which was a huge us for me. The manager was also present and checked on us which was nice. The food was great....everyone loved their meals which were tacos, fajitas, burgers, and the Peruvian fried rice. All of it was gone 🙂. We also ordered 2 cocktails which were approved by my non drinking partner....the Moscow mule and coconut mojito...yum yum. Everything was great here and I cant wait to return. Also the place is super cute and chill and definitely nice for a big group too.

Ate dinner here last night. Ordered guacamole and chips for an appetizer. The guacamole was definitely missing something. Unfortunately it was not flavorful. However the tacos were tasty. My favorite was the beef. I also ordered sangria which was good. Service was good overall.

Cozy cute Mexican restaurant with a bar. Service was great and food was fresh and tasty. Definitely recommend the cantina chaufan- it was so delicious. Wings were great too ! Personally I didn’t care for the corn too much. Guacamole was good too . Def would try again when in the area

Very nice place with great atmosphere, very tasty food and drinks and the most pleasant and attentive staff. Only the desserts do not recommend them since they are very basic and the cake of three milks was not at all fresh.

The food was very good and the service was excellent. Our server did a great job and everything we ordered was enjoyable. However, I strongly disagree with the technology fee added to the bill. Charging customers extra for a restaurant’s internal technology or operating systems is not fair. If this fee is related to software such as a POS system, that is a normal cost of doing business and should not be passed on to the customer. If more people have not complained about this fee, it is likely because many do not carefully review the bill or notice the charge. Regardless, this type of fee has a significant negative impact on the overall experience and leaves a bad impression. Unfortunately, practices like this make me unlikely to return, even when the food and service are good.

this burrito did not have cheese or pico del gallo in it and there was so much oil it had what appeared to be clear vegetable oil leaking out. not even greasy which I have had greasy in all kinds of good ways but OILY. I think the chef forgot to put pico del gallo in and instead put canola oil. the burrito was $23.00 with tax & tip (and unfinishable). staff extremely nice. restaurant good vibe. friend recommended the food - said it was the best they've had. friend needs to try more places. I attached photos so you could see that the oil turned the paper towels translucent.

Overpriced and unplessant food experience. Bland food that tasted old. When we got the bill they automatically included an 18% gratuity for a party of 3 and on top of that they charged a “technology fee” added automatically to the check. So my bill was $140 for very bland and tasteless steak fajitas, two orders of tacos, one dessert, and no drinks. I will not be returning or recommending this restaurant to any one!!
