  Overall loved the service and food. Would definitely  get the veg taco again, they were delicious!
  Spivey margarita were good also. The guacamole was a little on the bland side, missing some spices and tomatoes and more cilantro.
  Would I go back? Yes, to try other things on the menu. =)

  I'm not going to lie, I was extremely excited to try this place out. I struggled with parking, walked in the heat, upon arrival I was greeted.
  
  I was told I could sit wherever.
  
  Going to my seat, by the window, o noticed a dead cockroach on the table. I just stood up and walked out.
  
  I'm sure there were no cockroaches on the food, but the fact that there was on on the table made me cringe. For that reason and that reason alone, I probably won't be coming back.
  
  ----reply to Jodi,
  If you did a deep clean there wouldn't be a dead cockroach on the table my dude. Sorry I didn't want to eat a restaurant with dead bugs. Doesn't sit well in my stomach. That's gross. And the fact you are defending it is even worse.

  Delicious Mexican restaurant Astoria with great tacos! They have good service and legit food. Can't go wrong with the chips and guacamole appetizer.
  
  I really enjoyed these two tacos:
  1. Cameron Adobado (shrimp)
  2. Gringa (al pastor with melted cheese)
  
  On their tacos you can add crispy grilled cheese for $1 extra per taco. I would at least try one taco with this add on. The Gringa taco tasted great with this.
  
  The only downside is the price. The tacos can range from $4.50 to $6.50. The taste is great, but the portions are small. For the price you pay for each taco, you get a small amount of food. I had to get 4 tacos in order to feel semi-full.

  Update:  this place is a shit show! Food is ok. Customer service is terrible.  Paying a bill here is atrocious. They say they can only take 3 cc per table. Which is bullshit. Wentold them ahead of time we were doing seperate checks we had 8 people. We wanted 3-4 seperate checks. Some cash some credit.. ita always aweful paying a check here.  Seems they dont really want the business.. people that work there are rude!
  
  Was in tonight with 3 girlfriends. Had a nice dinner. We went to pay the bill and split it 4 ways. The "manager" told us no they dont do that. They will do 3 but not 4. Wtf.  My friend said we have been here and you have done 6.  He was so rude basically yelling at us. So we said whats the difference with 4 seperate checks or splittling the bill 4 ways  he said the credit card co charge them after 3. What that doesnt make sense.:.  And the guy that served us was an absolute dick! Yellin at is telling is its not mcdonalds , this is the rule.  I have worked in the restaurant business and you can split a bill 16 ways! It was complete shit! Both men need a class in customer service. And the douchey waiter who continued to yell at us. Was upset he didnt get a tip. And the manager even said what no tip??  No not when you are that rude!! The owner needs to look into these two.  Rude rude

  Volcanoes! I don't even know if that's a real thing in Mexico but I'm sold. I had something similar in Oaxaca where they use cheese instead of a taco shell.
  
  It's basically a taco with a second taco skin being completely made of griddled cheese! Top it with steak, mushrooms, avocados, and salsa. Whewwww man, that was a good taco. One order or the volcanoes will fill you up too.
  
  The chips and guacamole and salsa were delicious. You really gotta love a place that fries chips fresh to each order.
  
  Also sampled the fish tacos, fresh and tasty but after having the volcano, everything else can't compare.
  
  Volcanoes and chips/guacamole, you won't be disappointed.
