St. James - Astoria

Hours are off. Went Saturday around 9pm to find establishment closed. I was so upset, drove all the way from the Bronx

Ordered carne asada tacos and the beef tasted like jerky. It was as if it had been sitting out for at least a day and a half. The tortillas were also very stale. Not sure if it was the time I came (after 1) but the carne asada/ beef tacos just were not good. They also forgot two tacos but still charged full price.Food: 1/5

The quality of the quesadillas have been getting progressively worse over the last year, and the staff is incompetent. Bought 3 orders of quesadillas and can’t do anything with them because they didn’t even include the sauces. Worst service ever.Food: 1/5

Despite cash only signs, the counter guy accepted credit card which was great.I ordered the grilled chicken, the al pastor, the nopales (cactus) with egg. The chicken pork was very tasty well seasoned but a little dry (it could benefit from a crema or a sauce but all they offer is hot sauce so if you like spicy, get that hot sauce). Also, the nopales was a bit overly salty the egg was missing!Overall, good price good flavors but a few missed marks keep it from a perfect 5 stars.

Delicious food and very kind workers! They have a good variety of snacks and food on the deli menu. The young man at the front register overheard my friend and I talking about how we’ve never tried horchata and then proceeded to give us free samples. Can’t wait to go back!
