Fresco’s Grand Cantina

My friend and I stumbled upon this Mexican restaurant/bar while exploring Queens, and wow—what a gem! The food was insanely good—flavourful and just hits the spot. The atmosphere was super lively and fun, with a drag show that had us laughing. The staff were the cherry on top—so welcoming and cool, especially Johnny, who was an absolute sweetheart. They even charged my phone for me! Honestly, this place has it all: great vibes, amazing service, and energy 😍

Roberto is the best! So are all the managers. The drinks and food are absolutely delicious. I’ll come here as many times as I can. Especially for bingo with the best queens in Astoria !

Brian is absolute amazing and is very accommodating. I had booked two private events with him! The food is top tier and drinks are worth it. Most importantly the vibe is great! They always have a hosted event on weekends. Highly recommend to come here.

This review is specifically for the *catering service* offered by Fresco’s Grand Cantina. I was looking for an Astoria restaurant with great food that could cater my wife’s birthday party. After doing a lot of research, I chose Fresco’s Grand Cantina — and it was a great decision. They did an amazing job. First, the owner, Brian, insisted we should eat at the restaurant in-person (or at least get some of their food delivered) before we commit to hiring his team for catering. We did, and we had an amazing time at the 31st St. Grand Cantina location. That experience, plus Brian's friendly and helpful nature, made it an easy choice to hire him and his team. He discussed the menu with me. Thanks to Fresco’s menu, it was easy for them to provide delicious options that were gluten-free. He was also willing to discuss modifications to their basic catering party package (which, as it happens, turned out to be mostly perfect for our needs). We set the menu, and I paid 50% upfront as a deposit once we had the contract drafted. On the day of, Brian and his assistant showed up perfectly on-time, down to the minute. Their load-in of the food was quick and professional. It all had been made fresh and was delivered in insulated containers that kept it hot and safe in transit. Brian personally set up the first round of appetizers on the table we’d set up for food, and his assistant helped me load the entree items into our oven to stay warm until it was time to serve them. Every pan's cover was clearly labeled with what it contained, so we had no trouble directing appetizers straight to the living room to be set up for service and entrees to the kitchen to be kept warm. A note about the containers: they are aluminum pans, long and wide. Most are fairly shallow, but a few of them were deeper. They have a bigger footprint than you might expect. (See the photos.) To keep them warm, I’d recommend you invest in two or three roll-up silicone heating trays, rather than risk messing around with sterno cans (it's safer not to have open flames, and sterno can stink sometimes). Note that heating implements for the food are not a standard part of the catering package. Brian can add it if you want it, but it might be easier to buy your own. The food: for the first round we had a big bowl of fresh-made gaucamole (which was fantastic), warm tortilla chips, a huge serving of flautas, a pan of esquites (Mexican street corn, which was a big hit with our guests), and a tray of Qui Mama, also known as avocado fries. If you haven't had those, you must. They are exquisite. Sides of warm nacho cheese and sour cream topped it all off beautifully. For the entrees, we had grilled chicken, steak, and maduros, along with generous sides of cilantro rice, sauteed onions and peppers, black beans, and more warm corn tortillas than we could count. A selection of delicious sauces came with the entrees. A good investment we made was 9"x6" leftover containers, which enabled us to send several of our guests home with leftovers at the end of the night (for which they were grateful, because the food was excellent — so sayeth two of my friends, one of whom is a former chef and the other a certified sommelier). Part of this over-abundance was thanks to the generous portions from Fresco’s, though we also had more late cancellations than expected. Still, I’d rather have too much of Fresco’s great steak and chicken and maduros than not enough. I meant to get photos of the appetizers when we first opened them, but my guests devoured them so swiftly that I never got the chance. Bottom line: Fresco’s Grand Cantina Catering offers fantastic food at great prices, with professional delivery and setup. That’s the whole ballgame right there, my friends.

this place was such a vibe! the drinks are delicious, everyone is friendly and the food top notch. very pleased with everything and will definitely be back for brunch!

Very good food, fantastic drinks (frozen margaritas!), friendly staff, cool atmosphere, very LGBTQIA+ friendly. I will absolutely be back soon. Taco Tuesday +++

Went out for a girl’s night to watch the RuPaul’s Drag Race and it was a dope night! The staff, the entertainment, the FOOD. Everything was great and I highly recommend it. I can’t wait to hit it up for brunch! They even got a changing table in the bathroom so kid friendly during the day 👏🏼

Our first visit and it was such a great experience! So much attention to the customers! We were a party of two adults one child and there was so much consideration to our baby girl! Drinks were spectacular and food was on point! Such a hidden gem! Will most definitely be back! Thank you to Roberto for making it such a fun experience

Fresco's Grand Cantina is hands down my favorite place to celebrate my birthday!!! The food, energy, staff and space are allllll AMAZING. I will always come back to this restaurant and recommend it to everyone I know.

This was my first time going into a place dedicated to the LGBTQ+. We were greeted with so much love. The environment is pleasant and full of love, care, and happiness. The place is spotless and colorful. The staff was AMAZING; they were very attentive to all the tables. Our waiter, Jessenia, was amiable. We went to play "DragBingo," and I must say it was fun (the price of the winning card was great, we won $250). The DragQueen show was terrific as well. Oh, and I can't leave out the margaritas, which are delicious and well-made. We had our food, and everything was delicious.

Dropped by with my roommate around 2:30pm to see the drag brunch - Big Back Brunch with The Big Girlz! The garden was already filled up but we didn't have reservations anyway so we got seated right outside the space. It's much larger inside than it looks from the outside and the decor is so cute. We got the grande coconut frozen margarita between the two of us and it was delish! But the main star? The lomo al caballo. LISTEN. This Peruvian grilled steak with a fried egg, fries, tomato, and onion .... is to die for. RUN don't walk and order it. It is SO tender and flavorful and I'm still thinking about it. The Big Girlz were also performing. I've seen them before and they are amazing every single time! High energy and quality drag! The staff is also so incredibly kind and friendly. I will be coming here all the time!

Went back !! It was just as fun as the first time !! I took my mini me on Father's Day Sunday drag brunch and she had a blast !! Thanks frescos !!!

I love Fresco's! The drag show is one of the best I've seen! The performances are top notch, funny, entertaining, and the music is great!! The food is good, I love their taco variety and the sangria is offfff thhhhee hook!! Woo! The waitstaff is attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. I recommend catching a show or even stopping by for lunch or dinner.

I absolutely used to love this place, but when I feel like I am being swindled and taken for a complete fool.. it's a no go for me and you have lost me forever. We visited today for their new and improved happy hour, which includes food items -- yay! We ordered plentiful classic margaritas as well as a few happy hour food items -- cantina wings, chicken quesadilla, and the flautas. We hung out and watched Drag Race starting at 8 pm, hours past the time when HH begins at 3 pm. When the bill arrived, we were shocked at all the errors--the wings were $11, the flautas $14, and the quesadilla $14. Wait, what?? Those were ALL listed at $10. There was also a mandatory 18% gratuity for any check that was over $100. Ridiculous. So, now, we had to flag down a server to correct the error for the HH items. At this point, he corrected the check by deducting the $8. Guess what? The check still showed a final 18% gratuity that reflected the original, and still INCORRECT, amount, so they still got a gratuity based on the INFLATED costs that were incorrectly charged to us in the first place. How is that OK? You charged us the wrong amount and you're benefiting from it?! At this point, we want to just get home and not cause any other issues. We run the credit card, and GUESS WHAT? SURPRISE CREDIT CARD FEE. Yes, you read that right. After all this anguish, there was now a credit card fee added onto an inflated total, so this business sucked even more money out of our pockets without our consent. Why do I say without our consent? Well, nothing anywhere stated anything about this credit card fee, so this is clearly just another way for this owner to get his hand in YOUR pocket. I was so angry and upset leaving this establishment, and I am appalled at their complete disregard for the hardworking people who support their establishment. If you really cared about the community, like you claim to do, your prices would be correct in your POS system in the first place, and you would not hide and then surprise your customers with hidden credit card fees (especially when some of us walk around with cash). Customer beware.

I wanted to love this place. I want to review the food not their show right now. Went last Sunday for a birthday brunch and show. Ordered the coconut margarita and the steak with fries from the brunch menu. The drink was basically a watered down coconut milk with melted ice and no alcohol. The steak and fries was bland. I asked the waiter to pack it for me to take home and at the end of the show I asked where my food was ana they had thrown it out. Granted they made another 1/2 order for me. That night I woke up at 4 am with stomach cramps and upset stomach. My fiancé ate two bites of what I brought home and he was sick as well. It's been a week and I'm gonna call the doctor tomorrow because I still have an upset stomach. I will be going back for the show but not for the food.

The girls and I came here for a girls' day out on Sunday at 3 pm. We didn't make reservations, but I highly suggest that if you want to eat and have better seats to make one. We had four people and only had drinks. We watched the drag show from the bar, and it was fun. It's very entertaining and interactive. The people working there are very fun and great. Bring cash to tip the people doing the performances.

I love this place I'm so glad we went back. Getting there between 9-10 is important because the drag queens put on an amazing show. The music is great and so is the food. Everything is delicious and fresh. The staff is so adorable we had the cutest young person so charming and patient. The music was a little loud as we were right under the speakers but I left wanting to come back - which is always a good sign. Easily my favorite spot in queens.

The drag show at Fresco's is so good it justifies paying rent in Astoria. I'm not kidding, these queens WERK honey, so if you're coming for drag brunch make sure you're bringing cash and being generous with those dollar bills. Not only can these queens move, twerk, drop down into full splits and make all that look effortless, the hosts are also incredibly entertaining and downright hilarious. The decor is cute and the inside is spacious enough to turn into a catwalk. The food is solid too. We shared some guac and got the extra large margaritas for $30, which are strong as hell and worth the price in my opinion. The vegetarian quesadilla is packed with veggies and cheese, and the fajitas were solid even though they didn't come out on a sizzling plate which would probably be a hazard with queens sashaying up and down the restaurant.

Came here for a drag birthday brunch and it didn't disappoint. Just for context I was looking for a spot all over the city for a drag brunch for 10 and this is the only place that I found reasonable. Most places insist on restaurant and bar minimums and pre fixes for this grp size, not to mention an additional 50% on services and admin fees. Other spots had no such minimums but required tickets for the drag event + paltry food reviews. This was so chill, the food & drinks were delish, and lots of laughter!

This place has easily become one of my favorite local haunts in Astoria. It is a great place to go on a Friday to start the weekend. They have a great happy hour from 3-8PM Tuesday-Friday in addition to their fairly priced menu, good food and drinks, and really nice bartenders and staff. The vibe here is very lively, they have a dining room in the back with a nice open skylight that would be great for brunch. They always also seem to have something fun going on and an additional bonus they are LGBTQIA+ friendly! In terms of their food, I really enjoy their surf n' turf burrito (shrimp and steak), the grilled and fried chicken(highly recommend) quesadilla, baja tacos, and guacamole. I liked their pancho villa burger and cantina chicken sandwich, but both the beef and chicken were a bit on the overcooked side. The only thing that I think would make this place more awesome is if they provided complimentary chips and salsa.

Sunday Brunch- this is the place to be. You enter the establishment into a bar and in the back is the stage where the show happens. The ceiling is a glass dome allowing a lot of light to enter and there are flowers along the back wall. A woman went around changing money for singles. We each changed $20 and received the equivalent in singles. The guac and chips were good. The steak quesadilla was really good. The steak was well seasoned. For drinks they have large sizes of most drinks. I ordered a grand mimosa which was the only drink I needed during my time. The show was nothing short of entertaining. The drags are friendly, sassy, and funny! Great food, great atmosphere, good drinks, and laughs? Count me in! I will definitely return. Kudos to the owner who is such a nice guy as well.

We have been to this place twice on a Thursday back to back because it has absolutely the best drag queen bingo show! I suggest making an RSVP as it gets super packed for the show that starts after 730PM (I believe). Everything about this place is good, that's why we keep coming back! The ambience, the food and most of all the service. Their happy hour is definitely worth it! We will be back next Thursday!

Me & my family absolutely love this place! We've been going to a lot of drag events even before at the OG location! The service is great, owners are super friendly & the food is delicious! They have an event every day! The queens are AMAZING - our favorite is Sunday brunch with Hibiscus & Catrina! The aesthetic is super nice, there are photo ops & the garden where the events take place is spacious & AC is blasting (ya know we love that on these hot summer days). You can get pitchers of margaritas, mojitos, etc. My personal favorite is the patron marg (comes in a cute bottle). You have to try this place for a fun brunch, dinner, drag event, happy hour, etc - it's a MUST!

I came with a fairly large group for their game night performance. The game night was great fun and the entire group agreed that we would return for the experience. However, we did wait a fairly long time (especially compared to other tables) to order, and we also felt the food was a bit lacking. Still good, but not the best we've had, however the quesadillas were a table favorite. As a whole, we would return for the various themed nights as they're enjoyable, at most probably order a few drinks.

Tuesday Game Night and happy hour are the best here. Shoutout to Spindarella and Elise Navy-Dad!

This location has so much potential. The performers get 5 stars honestly. If I could rate them separately it would be a different story. Our server was nice as well. The food and owner however, I'd give a 1. Very rude owner. The food- I ordered the chicken and waffles. The chicken was dry and hard. And whatever syrup or jelly it was unnecessarily drenched in tasted off and kind of foul. Overall the meal was ick.

Sunday funday brunch and we had a fabulous time. Amazing atmosphere/ambience. Great space for groups and large parties. The queens were entertaining and very talented. Drinks were delicious recommend the passion fruit margarita. Polite staff and also very good looking. Overall I will attend again. Ordered the chicken crispy tacos and o-m-g they were saucy, crispy, refreshing lettuce, mouth watering good... Chicken Nachos were nom nom good!!

When Frescos Catina opened on 2017 it became one of the best and most popular Mexican restaurants in Astoria. Everything was great about the food, service and ambiance was first rate. I am afraid to say that this iteration of Frescos is a shadow of the original one. While the owner appears to have spent lavishly on decorations and fittings, the basic quality of food was not very good. I ordered a basic chicken quesidila and it tasted average at best. I came here for a quiet meal. I was put in the back where there was a burlesque trivia going on in earnest. This I did not enjoy. The whole experience did not feel inclusive. I am not planning to return

Great food and an expansive menu. The drinks are delicious and you can get a personal carafe size on most of them. The drag shows are always a blast and the staff is fun but professional. Always love it here!

Cheap tasting alcohol drinks, bland food and disgusting customer service!!!! Incompetent and inconsiderate staff. Too lazy to split the bill amongst a big group and on top of that they charged a surprise credit card fee. The manager went off on a rant saying "don't tell me how to run my business "when we questioned him about splitting the bill. If you want a place with rude, inconsiderate staff with crappy food and cheap alcohol drinks then come to this place but don't bring your kids because this place is definitely not kid friendly!!! FYI, My group spent over $700!!!!

I LOVE coming to this place! The food is delicious and the staff is so kind. We received our meals so quickly and our waiter checked in with us many times. This place has the cutest "greenhouse" area in the back. We will definitely be back for drag brunch and their other events!

Literally Incredible, I would give this place 100 stars if I could, Amazing Service, Very Courteous Bartenders/Waiters/All other Staff, Such delicious and yummy foods and drinks, fun entertainment and drag shows, good prices, fun environment and atmosphere Everything was amazing, 10/10 recommend and can't wait to come back especially for Drag Brunch on sundays!

Very fun drag brunch show with a lot of dancing and great moves by all the stars. Definitely sit in the back if you want an up close experience. We were inside near the door so we were mostly watching the stream of the show. The guacamole was great and I appreciated the El Bosque vegan tacos. Considering how busy it was, the service was very smooth.

Amazing neighborhood go to. Great food, lovely staff, and the drinks were perfect. I come every Tuesday for game night with Spindarella and Elise Navy Dad. Always look forward to the energy and music!

Decent food. Lovely Drag shows. However the service was severely lacking. For whatever reason we had two separate waiters checking in on us. It made it seem like they didnt know what was going on. For example about 5 minutes after we ordered another waiter came up and asked if we would like to order. Idk if they dont implement sections for their service but it would make it seem less haphazard if they did. Also had some discrepancies on our, which the waiter corrected, however, they neglected to mention the 18% gratuity. My group is more than happy to pay an 18% gratuity (even if the service was just so-so) however to not mention it as a courtesy when an option for additional tip is prompted on the POS, kinda shady. Place seems to be resting on its laurels by hiring cute waiters (no women working that I saw) and being an LGBTQ owned business.

Love this place. Drinks are good. Food is good. You never know when to expect a show. You always feel welcome. They always remember who you are when you come.

Last night we rented out Frescos Grand Cantina for a bachelorette party and it was a fantastic experience! The space was gorgeous with enough space to play games host a stripper and have a drag queen show! The staff were extremely accommodating and helped set up everything for our party. The food from their menu was delicious, especially the guacamole and flautas. They have a great bar with signature cocktails. Our group had an amazing night celebrating at Frescos. I highly recommend renting out this venue for any special event or celebration. It has a wonderful ambiance and the team will make sure you have an unforgettable experience. Thank you Frescos Grand Cantina for a perfect night out!

Tje ambience here is amazing!! I went for a friends bday celebration and we had such a great time. The food and drinks were really good. They also had bingo night which was also lots of fun! The drag show was amazing the performers were super funny and made the ambience an exciting one. I would definitely return.

A happy hour must in Astoria! Quality food & quality service. I had the chicken rings tostadas and flautas. What a treat ! Edwin slays!

The service is really great! The food came out quick and Eddy was always there quickly to help. The coconut mojitos and the tinga tostadas are a must! Not to mention, the place is beautiful!

After having just been to LIPS in NYC, Fresco Cantina is far superior in all areas: food, drinks, pricing and of course showmanship!

Super fun night! Food was great! Drinks on point! Its my second time going but wont be my last!

Awesome place, food, drinks and atmosphere everything on point, I want to thank Edwin our waiter, great guy with a lot of patience with my annoying group of ten, I will say the big drinks do get water down quick cause to much ice, but that's just a small thing.. love it..

Everything here is great from the delicious food to the friendly staff and their superb drinks (my favorite is the Matrimonio - SangiRita) They have the best drag shows in the city (literally like award winning) and the vibe is amazing. I will definitely be returning!

Best drag shows ever and great food! Hibiscus and Catrina are both amazing! Edwin is one of the best servers ever!

Great atmosphere, best service. The food is delicious and various options. Happy hour with plenty of drink options even frozen ones. Don't miss the show on Sundays. Rsvp is a must for the shows, worth it . Ladies don't forget the selfie wall and checkout the upstairs

We made reservations for a family member's 40th birthday. We arrived ready to have an amazing time. We were greeted by a lovely hostess, but this all changed quickly. Once, the manager or person seating the guest for the 3 pm show came to the front of house. He asked us to go up to the lounge, where I informed him one of the guests of our party was not able to walk up the stairs due to health issues. So we sat in the chairs next to the entrance. When it was time for us to be seated, we were directed to a high top with backless bar stools. We asked the gentleman seating us if we could sit in the garden where there are regular tables and chairs because one of the guest cant sit on a barstool. I also suffer from back issues where sitting on a bar stool is not comfortable. We were told that its a full house and that most likely we would only be sat at a high top; but he will see what he can do. After 15 minutes of waiting he comes back over and lets us know that our only option is the hightop, because the garden is fully reserved for large parties. He also mentioned that we should have requested to sit in garden. My question is, how would we have known to request to sit in the garden if this was our first time there? Why wouldn't they accommodate our party? Was it because we were only a party of 3? It's unfortunate that they were not accommodating. As someone who works in the industry I know adjustments could have been made. Just goes to show that guest with special accommodation needs is not a priority to them. They were ok with us just walking out with no attempt to help. It is heartbreaking to see my family members sad about not enjoying this evening. The only reason I am giving them Frescos Grand Catina 1 star is to submit the review. If I could give a negative star rating, it would be negative 10stars.

Fresco's Grand Cantina is always a great time! The staff and owners are always kind and welcoming The drinks and food are always delicious! Lastly, the entertainment is phenomenal!

Ordered chips and guac. Worker didn't write it down and forgot. Which is okay because mistakes happen to everyone! After a long wait, we received sauce with no chips. Ordered two of the same entree. Received a completely different order. Drinks were okay. Not bad, but not great either. This is the third attempt at trying this place. It needs a lot of work.

My second time visiting this place. My first visit, everything was great. Both the food and the drinks. The service was good too. This visit didn't go as well. First: Our server was so overbearing. He barely gave us time to scan the menu with our phone before he was asking us to order. My guest and I quickly ordered our food because he was not giving up. He then almost insisted that we order something else. Even though we articulated our order to him: 1 chicken sandwich. Shrimp tacos. And a order of fried plantains. The plantains never came out. Apparently he forgot to order the plantains. He couldn't wait to take our order!! He didn't complete the order. We only ordered 3 items!!! How do you forget such a small order??? I then asked for some chipotle sauce for my dry chicken sandwich. I was charged one dollar for a sauce!!!

This is a welcome and fun addition to the neighborhood. It has a lovely interior, atmosphere and nice outdoor area in the Back. The food menu is innovative and food is really good. The Classic Margaritas are only ok. Not sure if there receipe is slightly off or they are using a pre-mix. Be aware they apply autogratuity automatically even for groups of two. We've been here twice. The first time we weren't made aware and nearly tipped I'm cash also. Second time a different server did make us aware which we appreciated. I work in the hospitality industry and find it's still pretty shocking to autograt tables of two. It doesn't nothing to promote good service and pretty rude to the customer.

Been here a few times and always had outstanding food and service. Until yesterday when I decided to bring a few friends and family and show them what I've been raving about! :( from the rude bartender to rude owner it was a horrible and embarrassing experience. During their drag show one of the owners was standing near the dj booth but blocking our view, the dj noticed and asked him to move over and he nastily replied that we could watch the show on the tv screen. Mind you the screen was blurrrrryyyyyyyyyyyy but nevertheless as a owner to be that rude ???? Last time going there

Neat spot. This is one of those surprisingly good places. We visited this place by accident, but left very pleased with our experience. The frozen margaritas were very good, and pretty strong. The bartenders were attentive all throughout, which is always nice. The star of the night, however, was the quesadilla! It was shockingly delicious, maybe it was the drinks, but I truly believe that the quesadilla + the green sauce are a match made in heaven. This place is worth a try.

WOW! So imagine how awesome, delicious, and exciting the original Fresco's on 31st Ave is and times it by 5. That's how amazing the experience is at Fresco's Grand Cantina on 31st street. The bar features many more drink options and the space is way bigger than the 31st Ave location. I experienced the soft open on a Wednesday night and it feels like the entertainment of a Saturday and somehow still manages to have the "you're welcome here!" feel as the original location. It's clear Brian and Adrian have put their heart in soul into every detail of their new location. They feature instagrammable spots in the space complete with neon signs and, of course, amazing entertainment most nights of the week. If you're looking for mouth watering eats, perfectly crafted drinks, and the most inclusive LGBTQ & POC experience this is where you want to be. Bonus: You can tell your friends, "Meet me at Fresco's on 31st!" and even if they end up at the wrong location they will be in the right place for an amazing evening!

Just finished a birthday dinner and I'm kind of upset because I came to this place before and had such a better experience. I'm not too sure what happened this evening since it's a Wednesday night at 8 PM, but my boyfriend made the reservation for a birthday yet there was nothing even acknowledging the event that was reserved. Upon making the reservation the hostess stated that it would be noted and the server would also be aware of the situation since we were celebrating, yet it seemed very lax and almost as if the people who are working there didn't wish to be there since we were there one and a half hours before they were closing. We started off with drinks and ordered an appetizer, but after 20 minutes of waiting for chips and salsa, I questioned the server if he had put the order in since it was simply chips and salsa and I was unsure why it was taking so long to bring that out. There were two servers who were assisting our table. It seems as if there was no communication because right after I questioned the appetizer, our entrées came out. So the first server said he would handle the appetizer, yet that wasn't addressed when the bill came. The food that we ordered included the skirt steak as well as the shrimp tacos. The food was cold, but we didn't have time to wait so we didn't say anything since the servers actually never came back around to check in nor ask us if we wished to have additional drinks or desserts. I'm kind of surprised because our first experience was so much better and we came here this evening to celebrate a special event and it's the middle of the week so we weren't expecting such a terrible experience. The icing on the cake which is quite profound of a statement due to the fact that it was a birthday celebration is that when we received the check the appetizer wasn't addressed as the server stated it would be handled, and there was no birthday wishes, cake, and offering up dessert, nothing. It's a terrible place to celebrate anything special, but I guess it varies based on night and who you're working with. Wish his experience would've been better but I guess the servers this evening we're just a profound example of what a lazy work ethic is these days and how people are just are nonchalant in terms of their demeanor when it comes to service. Could have spent my birthday getting better service at Chipotle or Taco Factory.

Absolutely the best drag brunch in NYC area! If you are in or near Astoria/LIC and need an awesome drag brunch for the weekend then look no further. First, the restaurant/bar is so stunning in it's design and atmosphere... full of color and energy that matches the boldness and power of the drag performers and the food/drinks! We will definitely continue to go here and support this amazing LGBT+ owned and operated business...it is and will be our favorite place now for brunch in our neighborhood! The staff, owners and performers are so kind and big hearted and fill the space with so much joy! The food is perfectly cooked and full of so much flavor. Don't miss out on this!

I give this place 1000 stars. I can't say enough about this beautiful restaurant ! Opened about a month ago. The decor is amazing. My family and I went for brunch and we had a great time. Food was delicious. Drinks were excellent. Service phenomenal. Music was awesome, Not to mention the Drag Queens, they can DANCE! We highly recommend the shrimp tacos and the pastelon tacos !!! Thank you To the wonderful Cantina staff
