This cozy Colombian spot serves up delicious seafood dishes and big plates at decent prices, all while boasting a friendly atmosphere.
"The stretch of Queens spanning Northern Boulevard from 79th to 84th Street is known as Little Colombia. Mister Cangrejo, which opened in 2017, specializes in the cuisine of the port city of Buenaventura and the broader western Pacific coastline. Its owner, Mario Montaño, is a Buenaventura native and Queens resident and serves Pacific-Colombian seafood dishes in a casual family-style setting. The dish that’s spotted at almost every table is the cazuela de mariscos. The stew is bubbling hot and loaded with mussels, squid, shrimp, and fish in a thick, creamy yellow broth. The dish comes with a plate of white rice and tostones—green plantains, smashed flat and fried crisp. Also order the namesake cangrejo: gigantic snow crab legs splayed out in your choice of garlic or coconut sauce with chunks of potato and plantain." - ByCaroline Shin
