Café Salamanca, Queens NY

Excellent food, excellent service and very good price. My family and I had the paella valenciana, shrimp diablo, chicken tender and fries, and chicken parm. Plate sizes were big relative to the price. I would definitely come back.

45 mim for appetizers and food took longer than expected. It's 2021 update the menus and dishes, they look like 90s style

Food was delicious and the service so good the waiter keeps coming back to check on us, thank you so much?

We have been dining at Cafe Salamanca for over 20 years. Even after leaving NY we come eat here every time we visit.

Extremely Over rated over priced food!

Came here for New Year's Day, they had a pre fix menu for 100 PP. Appetizers were terrible, Garlic Shrimp (Stone cold), Cod croquettes? Were more like cheese croquettes, the chorizo was simply uninspiring as well as the clams. After that received a poached lobster (which was totally flat and over cooked) and afterwards didn't received anything else, waiters didn't even bother to ask! And by the look of the main dishes I was glad I didn't received it Paella looked more like a Arroz con pollo and Filet Mignon was the flattest I've ever seen. I'm sure it was flat iron. Had to call the main waiter who by the way charged the bill upfront before we even got drinks with the tip Included (smart business man)
He then apologized hypocritically and asked our order again, after waiting almost an hour!
I just laughed and he still had the nerve to point me at the direction of another table and said they also had their food delayed when I clearly saw they had just arrived at the restaurant and received their food at light speed. After that he just simply offered to give me back two hundred dollars of 500 that I had initially paid! The nerve! If any one is looking for decent Spanish food don't come here! And the reason they don't get many reviews is because their clientele is elderly people (no disrespect to them) but if you look over 50 don't come here! They don't know a thing or two about hospitality or service. Mediocre at BEST!

They still suck.

Been going here for more than 25 years.if you feel like tapas, sangria, or a full meal give them a try

Nice Spanish (like Spain) restaurant with excellent food. I got a nice Spanish beer and some salmon, my partner got a fantastic soup. We will be coming back!

My family and I went to this restaurant on Monday for the first time to celebrate my daughter's birthday and we had a fantastic time! The food was so delicious, especially the Paella Valenciana, and the Sangria was wonderful! The waiters were so pleasant and attentive. This place is a gem! LOVED IT!

Absolutely favorite place for sangria and paella. The service is wonderful. The appetizers were delicious. Highly recommend this great Spanish restaurant. They even have imported beer that you would normally find in Spain.

Since the 80's- I grew up coming to this authentic "Spain" restaurant. My family from Spain would come on vacation and this was the go to place. It is the definition of delicious authentic food. The waiters and cooks are all from Spain. My dad and grandfather always ordered the Paella and my uncle (who owns many restaurants and is a chef in Spain) would always say this was as close to real tasting paella he's ever had! After so many years and the food is still great!

The sangria was very good. If you order the paella know that 1 serving can feed at least 2 people. The waiter might try to tell you otherwise.

Love this place. Their back private room is large enough to hold 45 guests comfortably. The Sangria is tasty and their paella is awesome. The restaurant offers a nice family friendly environment. Have tried almost everything on the menu. No complaints.
Don Julio is very accommodating and their pre fixed dinner menu has excellent choices.

Delicious food, prompt and courteous service. They do serve big amounts. The servers go the extra mile.

Cozy restaurant. The waiters are very welcoming. Food is excellent and there's almost always a guitar player there walking around to make your night memorable. Been coming here since I moved to the neighborhood 3 years ago and have never had a bad meal here.

Excelente! I was worried at first about the negative reviews but everything was very good. Family style restaurant atmosphere; seems like its been around a while. Guy w guitar singing (very good!). First brought out complementary mussel Hors d'oeuvres (vinegared like ceviche). Had the Paella Valenciana (good for 2 people). Clams in Green Sauce (very good). Friend had Caldo Gallego (he said he had better). And Sangria was very good. Grilled lobsters and other seafood looked very good (But we did not have that). Dignified atmosphere. All in all a very good experience.

Vro i went here to new years day and they didnt even bring us the paella! 1! 1! 1 40 minutes to wait m8
and the garlic shrimps were cold and there were only old people xDDD not recommended l0l

Great atmosphere, wonderful service, and delicious authentic Spanish food. Lastly, the make some of the best Sangria I have ever had.

A hidden gem in jackson heights of very good authentic Spaniard food.tapas are great for sharing alongside a glass of Spanish wine.

Food is not that great. Over price for no reason. If you are willing to pay the price good luck. Or just enjoy the street food, you will enjoy it more than this restaurant.
