Casa Enrique

Food was AWESOME! Everything tastes homemade and packed with tons of flavors and spice. We had the special shrimp ceviche, the enchiladas, branzino, the cheese ice cream was out of this world and the tres leches was the best. Cocktails were delicious and made with fresh juices not that sugary bottled stuff. Can’t wait to return, I highly recommend.

Casa Enrique continues to be one of the best restaurants in Long Island City and it fully deserves its reputation. Every time we visit, the food is consistent, fresh, and full of bold flavor. You can taste the care in the cooking, whether it’s the guacamole, ceviche, enchiladas, or their signature mole. The dishes are beautifully balanced without being overly complicated, which makes the experience feel both comforting and special. The service is another reason we keep returning. The staff is warm, patient, and genuinely welcoming. Even on busy nights, they make you feel taken care of and always offer thoughtful recommendations. It is clear they care about creating a positive experience for every guest. The atmosphere is relaxed but polished, making it a great spot for a casual dinner or celebrating something meaningful. It has become one of those rare neighborhood restaurants where you want to bring friends and family just to share how good it is. We also love that the quality has never slipped no matter how popular it gets. Casa Enrique is a true gem in Queens. If you are in LIC and want an amazing meal with great service, this should be at the top of your list.

My cousin from the Philippines were visiting NY and invited me with others to have dinner at this restaurant. I have to start something totally unrelated to this topic, was finding a parking on the street like, Manassas Virginia where I live finding a parking is never an issue no matter where you go to here in this town. I was little late but dinner was ready and preciously placed on the table with rest of the side dishes. I hade a probably a 6oz steak as a main course with other sides as you can see in the picture. Since I spent decades with Mexican family in California, I really do know the taste of assorted salsas and sauces, it was to the perfection. Steak was medium rare tender and was easy to chew on. I loved the masa tortilla, reminded me of someone especial who use to make it from the scratch. Our Host Andres and the rest of the host was wonderful,friendly and attentive to our needs. Definitely will go back next time I’m in New York. Thank You!

We had brunch on a Sunday and it was great. We had reservations, but it wasn't too busy at about noon. Here are the positives: the service was really wonderful - perfect mix of attentive and leave you alone; the table hot sauces are FANTASTIC; the guacamole was really delicious and the pan frances (french toast) was phenomenal. Okay, I don't really have negatives...but the other dishes were just good (nothing spectacular). The fish tacos and albondigas were tasty, but not standouts. Overall a lovely brunch, but I definitely want to return for dinner.

The place has a modern feel, the service was excellent, very attentive. The sauce and the tortilla work is very impressive. We got the shrimp ceviche that was a special of the day and it had an interesting fusion sauce, with Asian notes to it. The sopecitos were outstanding. I thought the carne asada lacked flavor a bit. But the tortillas were some of the best I have had. The flautas were disappointing. The entire filling was super crispy and over fried so there was no texture contrasts in the dish.
