5 Burro Cafe - Forest Hills

We ate here after a concert at Forest Hills Stadium. It's also a short walk from the subway so very convenient. We were told it might be a 30 minute wait but actually got seated in the covered sidewalk area in about 10 minutes. Service was prompt andfriendly but we seemed to lose our waiter halfway through but fortunately the other waiter serving a nearby table took care ofus the rest of the time. Judging by how many people knew the hostess by name I'm sure this must be popular with the locals. Ihad the fajitas de carne which was a large plate and enough tortillas to eat it all. The steak wasn't seasoned as well as I'mused to, but it did have a good flavor. Plenty of grilled onions and bell peppers went well with the meat. I didn't care for therice but everything else included the house salsa and margarita was great and the prices reasonable.

I love this spot, from being able to manage the music to the shrimp quesadilla, and I can't forget the Margaritas. I have gone with friends or my boyfriend we always have a great time. Sometimes the wait can be long, but you can also sit by the bar untilyour table is set.

I?m convinced 5 Burros has the best frozen margaritas in Queens. I went around late brunch time on the weekend and had great service. The food looked and tasted amazing. Definitely one of my favorites in the neighborhood but you?ll have a harder timeenjoying it when its later in the day or weekends at night because it gets crazy busy so service might be slower.

First time visiting this Forest Hills staple and it didn’t disappoint. I had the stuffed peppers a ‘michelada’, both were delicious! Food was fresh and tasty. The drinks were great quality and the ambience was lively but not too much. Service was also very good. Overall a great first impression that’s left me wanting to go back.

Drinks are solid and food is authentic and spot on. One small knock, they desperately need an IPA on tap or bottle/can. Excellent service by hostess and staff. Hostess went head and shoulders above to seat us on a busy Friday night.
