Chela & Garnacha

"Chela & Garnacha makes some of the best Mexican food you’ll find in the area. They specialize in tacos, and they do a bunch of different kinds like shrimp and al pastor - and, for a little bit extra, they’ll wrap any of these ingredients in melted cheese. Their patio set-up has big, sturdy umbrellas that stick out over each of the tables in case it rains randomly for 20 minutes." - hannah albertine

"Chela & Garnacha in Astoria is offering takeout and delivery options online or over the phone at 917-832-6676. Get the masa cakes with shredded chicken and whatever torta makes your arm hair stand up when you read the menu. Also, if you have a second (you do, we know you do), give them a follow on Instagram - this restaurant has better captions than most companies with in-house copywriters." - hannah albertine

"Chela & Garnacha is just a small, wood-paneled room with some cactuses and green tables, and they do some of the best Mexican food you’ll find in the area. They specialize in tacos, and they do a bunch of different kinds like shrimp and al pastor - and, for a little bit extra, they’ll wrap any of these ingredients in melted cheese. You should, of course, do this, and you should also get a hibiscus margarita, as well as the masa cakes with shredded chicken." - Bryan Kim
