Chano's Cantina

Great find near our hotel in Long Island City. The atmosphere was warm and lively, service was friendly, and everything we ordered was delicious. From the chips and guacamole to the main dishes and great drinks. The food was flavorful, well-presented, and honestly exceeded expectations. The only reason for not giving five stars is a very important safety detail. The churros are listed on the menu as being served with chocolate, but what was actually served was Nutella. Thankfully, my partner noticed immediately, as someone in our party has a tree nut allergy. This could have resulted in a hospital visit if it hadn’t been caught in time. He mentioned it to the manager on our way out. We really enjoyed our meal overall, but menu accuracy with allergens is critical. Hopefully this is addres

A bit too expensive for what was provided. Just some constructive criticism to explain the two stars rating. It was a Friday evening and I decided to give them a try. Was interested in something healthy. A chicken salad is always the way to go and I have had other chicken salads from restaurants in the area and was very pleased. The menu is outside the restaurant. Says the salad is twelve and chicken four dollars extra. See photo. Ok. After reading the menu I decided to go inside. Yeah well. Bait and switch. As I watched them enter the order into the system, I noticed chicken was 5 dollars extra. The salad 13. Hmmm. 18 dollars when it should have been 16. I asked about the discrepancy. The guy admitted the menu was old and didn’t even attempt to honor the price as on the menu. I was Hun

Amazing food and drinks. Staff are 10/10. Margs are great. Steak and chicken Quesadillas were some of the best ive ever had.

This place is amazing. Best Mexican food I've had since living in Las Vegas 5 years ago. They have heuvos rancheros on their lunch menu but we're nice enough to make it for me for dinner. Thank the universe they did. Best heuvos rancheros I've ever had. Seriously, I've been racking my brain to remember if I've had better, and I haven't. They serve on fried masa cakes which are stupendous. My partner had the chicken enchiladas and the meat was tender and juicy. If I have any complaints it is that the food lacks spicy heat, including the salsa, and I did not think the rice had any flavor. Those are minor. The meals were amazing. If I lived in NY this would be my go to place. Just fantastic. Wish I could give it six stars.

Very lovely place to dine. Food was delicious and the restaurant is very beautiful inside. Absolutely loved the mofongo, but every dish we ordered was awesome. The molcajete is great to try a bunch of different things, and it comes with tortillas. The sauce is quite salty and tangy, but still I highly recommend it. They have pretty generous “happy hour” hours, so before 7pm on weekdays you can get a good deal on some drinks!
