" Celebrated a friend's birthday here and had a fantastic time! The food was excellent; I tried the shrimp al mojo and it was on point. The service was friendly, and we felt taken care of throughout. Perfect place to enjoy a good meal with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a wonderful experience! The staff was super friendly, and the decor really set the mood. The food was a mix of traditional and contemporary Mexican dishes, which surprised and delighted us. The highlight was definitely the dessert—don't miss the churros! Looking forward to coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Can't recommend this place enough! Everything we ordered was delicious, and we had so much fun. The staff was friendly and the drinks flowed. An unexpected gem in the neighborhood that we will definitely be visiting again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pleasant surprise at Tacuba! I went in on a whim without knowing much about the place. It was bustling with happy diners. The ceviche was vibrant and refreshing, a perfect starter. The camarones al mojo were also a hit, though they could’ve been a bit spicier. Overall a lovely experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had great expectations but was a little let down. The shrimp tacos were just okay, not the explosion of flavors I hoped for. Service was friendly, but not overly attentive. Nice decor but I may look for other options next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My favorite place for Mexican food in Astoria! The tacos here are true gems, bursting with flavor. The happy hour is fantastic, and I always take my friends here when they visit. You've got to try their margaritas—they're the best around! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, a mixed experience. The restaurant had a good vibe, but my burrito wasn’t great—it lacked flavor. The drinks were decent, though. Staff was friendly but overwhelmed that day, which could be why things didn't go smoothly. " (*Curated Review*)
