Astoria Cantina

From the moment we walked into Tacuba, we knew we were in for a treat. The vibrant ambiance set the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. Our evening started with refreshing cocktails - the Paloma was a delightful burst of citrus, the Mojito was perfectly minty, and the Mezcal Piña Margarita had a smoky depth that was unparalleled. For appetizers, we ventured into the Aguachile ($20) that was a symphony of flavors and freshness, the Elotes ($9) were grilled to perfection, the Nachos with Steak were a mountain of goodness, and the Queso Fundido with Chorizo was a molten pot of savory delight. Our mains were equally impressive. The Pulpo and Chorizo Tacos brought the ocean and land together in a mouthwatering combo, while the Chicken Fajitas were sizzling and packed with flavor. The Green Chicken Enchiladas were a comforting dish, wrapped in a beautifully tangy sauce. We ended our meal with the Flan - a creamy, caramel-rich conclusion to a fantastic meal. Everything we tasted was delicious and left a lasting impression. Highly recommend Tacuba for anyone seeking an authentic and exquisite Mexican culinary journey!

The waitress wasn’t attentive and we couldn’t find her when we wanted more water or our bill. We asked another staff memfor water and he just never returned. We had to find the hostess, just to pay our bill. The food and beverages were pretty good. Fajitas and open quessadillas were solid, although pricey. I'd like to go back but by judging other reviews, we aren't the only diners to deal with lackluster service.

The only issue I have encountered with this establishment, albeit a minor one, pertains to the availability of items listed on their menu. I ordered items from the menu that were regrettably unavailable. To ensure a seamless and satisfactory dining experience, the menu should be regularly updated to accurately reflect the items that are currently offered.

The atmosphere and decor is spectacular. We were here on a Sunday evening and there was wonderful traditional live music. Everything was delicious. The Elote was a treat. If you don’t like guac, please note the fajitas come with it on top of the dish and on everything. Despite that, it truly was spectacular. The calabacita con Jamaica tacos were good too.

This establishment has been here for quite sometime and it never disappoints. Some of their menu items can be on the pricey end but nonetheless the food is delicious. The decor is tasteful and accompanied with Latin/Hispanic music while you enjoy your meal and drink(s). The waitress wasn’t as attentive and we couldn’t find her when we wanted more water or our bill. The food and beverage was pretty good. We hope to return to receive better service. A community staple indeed. Establishment is rather large and can accommodate large parties of 6+
