Sandro's Latin Food

Kevin Tocachi

All dishes are delicious, it is my go to food in Astoria. My last order I got grilled ribs which comes with a large rice, beans, salad, classic green sauce, and on top of that I got two chicken empanadas. All this for just over $20.00 Give it a try if you live around the area 👌

I decided to get this randomly one night for takeout. I ordered the Entrana, it was absolutely delicious. It was seasoned so good, the rice was cooked beautifully, the salad it came with was dressed good too. It came with a big piece of entrana (skirt steak), rice and beans, and a salad. It was only $25.00! It was very big portions and very cheap. Would come here again 100%!

Great food! And service is always on point. The portions are big and filling, and the sides are well seasoned and fresh. Will be coming back to try out more dishes!

Despite mixed reviews, I’ve always had a great experience whether it be dining inside or ordering takeout. I do come during off-times though, so maybe that’s why my food is always so great. I appreciate the portions. That green salsa is so good too.

We have been ordering from Sandro's for years now and we enjoy their food. Their roast chicken combo is great. However, sadly it seems like recently their quality is slipping. We ordered a side of maduros with our meal today and about 70%+ or more of it was super dry and barely edible. Their plantains must have been rotting or super stale because I have never seen such a dry set of maduros in my life. My kids usually eat them and ask for more but today they were spitting them out. I tried it and had the same reaction. The rice, beans, and chicken were still good but something has to be done about the quality of their maduros. This is the first time we encounter this and hopefully the last.

Food is decent but plenty of other better Ecuadorian restaurants in Astoria to choose from. They have a B rating from the health department for several years now which is a bit concerning

***GUSANOS***MAGGOTS***ALERT*** At first I was all happy about finding this location. I normally go to POLLOS MARIO on Broadway. I ordered for pickup. And took it home to the next state where I live. I ate a little bit of the chicharrón but it was already 11pm. I left it for the next day. Upon reheating in a pan. I came across some things that weren’t there before. Never in my life did I think I would’ve seen MAGGOTS cooking out of the pork. We threw out everything. I called the store to let them know. The manager thanked me for letting him know and if I wanted a refund he would do so. That was less than 24 hours of buying. I called back today for a refund and he said he spoke to the owner and he said I should’ve said something the same day. I don’t want to argue with them. I am now taking the necessary steps to prevent this from happening to others. This review with pics and a complaint to the health dept are starters.

This place has horrible customer service, I ordered the grilled shrimp and rice per their website. The picture on the menu shows yellow rice with vegetables, fried plantains and grilled mixed in. When I received my order it was plain white rice and 6pieces of grilled shrimp for $20! I literally paid for a plate of white rice for $20! When I spoke to the restaurant about how their hard copy menu nor menu online specifies a difference in the plate. She just shrugged her shoulders at me. They did not try and accommodate their mistake.

Unfortunately, I got food poisoning from the empanadas I purchased on 11/5/25.

The waitress/cashier cashier was rude. After ordering and paying for my food upfront 19.06 was my charges to be exact. I asked for a cup of ice, as rude as possible with so much aggression tells me NO. So I asked if I decided to sit and eat you would've given me a cup of ice with even water. She get up goes in the back and gives me 3 pieces of ice in a cup. I didn't create a big fuss, I asked for the manager/supervisor and told them give me my money back. $20 of food bought but can't receive a cup of ice while I'm at work. I'm a Amazon worker delivery driver.

They always leave out items in my order…that I paid for. Done. Don’t waste your money like I did.

This place is a rip off they charge you for things they conviently forget to deliver to you. Delivery service is horrible and the girl who answers the phone always has an attitude. This place needs to be investigated and shut down!!!

This is the worst restaurant ever that I ever been don’t go over there. Please don’t waste your money on the type of food. The food is not good and it’s cold.

Food was flavorful, but unfortunately my friend found a hair in his rice. We both ordered a Carne Asada entree. Waitresses were friendly but very distracted, no communication between staff. Our first waitress saw the hair in my friends plate and did not notify anyone. A second waitress brought us the check and claimed she didn’t know anything. My friend walked up to the counter asking to speak to management. An older man, presumably an owner or manager, proceeded to tell us he would only comp $6.50 out of $41 because we “ate all the rest of the food and didn’t ask for another plate.” We were fine with paying our bill, but he was extremely rude towards us. We simply wanted to notify someone. First off, I wouldn’t order anything else after finding a hair and complaining about it. A professional establishment wouldn’t blame a customer for being upset about contaminated food, we weren’t demanding a free meal. Anyway, wouldn’t go back. Pretty gross.
