Was User at La Vecina a mag?
a. hidden. I need more people to know about this place because wow. the service is always so friendly and at place. the drinks will make you giggling, and that will have you ready to call it one night; I slept well in the night. Although there are not many vegan options, they can make any plate vegan / vegetarian with their crispy cricket option. I can never find a perfectly crispy vegan huh, but I found it here! eve...

What User dislikes about La Vecina:
I ordered the garnel bowl, as it was highlighted as a public lover. 8 tiny hard garnels were on the teller, no sauce was the dish dry. I ordered to drill on the side thanks that the filling was not good quality. I like that they use instead of the Mexican hated South American avocados. small portions and expensive better eating elsewhere in queens for this kitchen art. View all feedback.
I had already ate here in other occasions and the food was pleasant, fresh and tasty, the waitresses always provided good customer service and the restaurant itself it’s aesthetically pleasing, spacious and clean. This past Sunday night however, I was extremely disappointed with the food I was served; pechuga empanizada breaded chicken) to begin with the chicken portion has been shrunken to half, it was locking freshness and taste, the rice was not fresh at all; some pieces were hard to chew and others felt like old rice, the beans were okay and the fries did not feel fresh or crunchy. Additionally I ordered maduros with melted cheese on the side and they were extremely burnt, not soft and not sweet, as of the cheese it did not feel melted rather stiff. Could have been a change in the chef or the quality of the food but I left feeling very disappointed with what I paid.
Honestly don’t know what to say. This place is amazing. Used to get it all the time when I lived in Astoria. Now I live in New Jersey. Drove here just for the elote. The arepas are incredible. Build your own. You won’t regret it.
Everything is good, but try the sancocho and let me know. Just fire so good.
The food was yummy, the drinks were mid but plentiful, my server was on her phone at some key moments, and good luck getting her attention. Food: 5 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 5 Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $20–30
“La Mejor Noche de Mi Vida – GRADUATION LEGENDARY STATUS ” Si no estuviste en mi fiesta de graduación en La Vecina (Astoria, NY)… lo siento por ti. This wasn’t just a party—it was a whole cinematic universe powered by reggaetón, tequila, and pure joyful chaos. Desde que entré, la vibra fue pura magia. The lights hit just right, the music was flowing, and my people? Looking like the Met Gala had a baby with a bachata video. Los tragos? Crafted with heavenly precision—como si el bartender fuera San Pedro sirviendo en las puertas del cielo. La comida? An explosion of sabor that had everyone licking their fingers and asking “¿QUIÉN COCINÓ ESTO DIOS MÍO?” Y la música…. Una mezcla perfecta de dembow, perreo, y clásicos pa’ la tía. A dancefloor where zapatos were sacrificed and reputations were born. And yo… I was the MAIN CHARACTER. Surrounded by gente que me ha apoyado desde el primer día, I celebrated not just a degree—but every late night, every struggle, and every damn win. Patricia fue la mejor.
