Food update #2

Time for another food round-up.  This time I'm happy to report on three delicious places that we've had the pleasure to try in Astoria!

Corner 26 Taverna (26-02 23rd Ave): Stumbled upon this amazing hole-in-the wall Greek restaurant where you can find all the traditional Greek foods with mouth-watering satisfaction! We started with perfectly made saganaki (how else to start a Greek meal) followed by one of the best gyro platters that I've ever had, delicious fried white fish, and the most amazing garlicy-lemon potatoes ever (emphasis on the garlic).  The atmosphere is so homey and everyone there excluding our table was speaking exclusively in Greek and seemed to know the hostess/waitress quite well. Will definitely be back to this neighborhood gem!

El Cafetal (30-19 Astoria Blvd): Quite an atmosphere at this small authentic mexican joint.  Loud music, rowdy patrons, and a huge selection of delicious and authentic mexican food.  We had enchiladas in mole sauce (outstanding) and perfectly crispy and flavorful flautas. With such a huge selection and well-made food, we will surely be back here often!

Sac's Place (25-41 Broadway): When you're in the mood for delicious Italian and coal-oven pizza, look no further than Sac's. The pizza crust was the perfect consistency, very thin and the ingredients were fresh and abundant! Couple that with many pasta options--from the traditional Italian staples to more inventive creations. We sampled the homemade gnocci, which was quite divine!








That's all for this installment. Stay tuned for future mouth-water restaurant reviews!
