El Anzuelo Fino - Queens

Be cautious of the waitress with the tattooed eyebrows. We had to repeat our order three times, and she still got it wrong. We ordered a baked potato and ended up with a boiled sweet potato instead. Even after she "fixed" it, we still received boiled potatoes. It was incredibly disappointing. She never came to check on us to see if everything was alright. Given the small size of the restaurant—with a maximum of about ten tables—there's no reason for the service to be so poor. I can only give one star for the food, which was just okay. Also, be aware that they charge a $2.85 fee for non-cash payments. I would advise against ordering the sangria; everyone around us who got it left it untouched on the table.

The food consistently exceeds my expectations and satisfies my cravings. The new outdoor seating area is lovely. I highly recommend the beef hearts and ceviche. I'm also a big fan of the chicarron—it's incredibly hot, crunchy, and moist on the inside. While sitting outside, I noticed the chicken was steaming the entire time, and I've never encountered dry chicken here.

Similar to other negative reviews, I experienced a long wait for my food. I ordered the seafood soup, but unfortunately, it was gritty with a lot of sand in it.

I've been a customer for over 20 years, and the food never fails to impress! The Cau Cau is outstanding, and the Arroz con Pato and Picarones are delicious.

The food was overly salty, some orders were missing, and when I requested utensils, they were not provided. Everything was poorly packaged. Overall, it was a terrible experience.
