" I finally visited Alfonso's Cantina after hearing plenty of buzz about it, and I have to say I was not disappointed. The restaurant has a modern yet welcoming design that adds to the dining experience. I ordered the choriqueso as an appetizer and my main dish was the shrimp tacos. Each dish was rich in flavors, and portions were more than enough to satisfy. The cocktails were well-crafted, and I highly recommend their margarita! If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food, Alfonso's is definitely the place to go. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently took my family to Alfonso's, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The restaurant was bustling yet maintained a calm vibe. Our server was very attentive and made excellent recommendations. We started with the guacamole, which was fresh and flavorful. For entrees, we had a mix of dishes including enchiladas, tacos, and the mole burrito, all of which were superb. Everything tasted homemade and authentic – a real gem on Staten Island! We even enjoyed a couple of margaritas which were outstanding. Overall, Alfonso's is now one of our go-to places for Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)
