    I LOVED this restaurant when it first open, the food tasted amazing, the vibe was super cool in par with Blend (same owners), etc. I moved 2 hours away and visited Astoria yesterday and chose to dine at Citrico among all my many favorites. I have to write it was SOOOOOOOO disappointing. It started when I ordered and SPECIFICALLY said DO NOT bring all of my food out at once. Sure enough, they brought my appetizers and our entrees 5 minutes later. By the time we finished our apps and got to our tacos they were cold of course for sitting for so long. The flavor wasn't there, we felt rushed, and in sum our date night at citrico lasted all of 40 minutes. I guess that's what happens when a place gets too much hype. Very disappointed, and needless to write that was my last visit ever. I wish I had gone to another favorite of mine, waste of visit to Astoria! Big shame.

    We had an amazing time!! It was my cousins birthday so J went early to put a card down and ask for dessert to come out with a candle and all that and the team was so amazing at making it go smoothly!! Such a great time and beautiful restaurant, everything we ordered was perfect and happy hour had great deals. Will be back ASAP!

    I absolutely loved the restaurant. As you enter the esthetics are so beautiful all the furniture chandeliers loved it. The service was Impeccable our waiter was the best and offered great recommendations. I had a dozen oysters so delicious, shrimp tacos seasoned perfectly and my favorite the Baja fish tacos they are a MUST HAVE. We also had the fried doughnut with ice cream for dessert and it was amazing. My drinks were also great I had a hibiscus margarita and a watermelon drink. 10/10 recommend i can’t wait to make my way back !

    La comida estuvo bien, el servicio me pareció un poco mediocre no se si la chica mesera era nueva o que pero nos tiro una soda y no tuvo la amabilidad ni siquiera de ofrecer otra por el accidente, nos trajo los platos los puedo en la mesa y no nos dijo de que eran y se fue, aparte me tocó levantarme a pedir cubiertos porque no teníamos en la mesa para comer, y tuvimos que pedir dos veces la cuenta, muy bonito en lugar pero deben la experiencia muy regular

    OMG!!!! Where do I begin? The place is BEAUTIFUL!!! The staff was super nice and the food was OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! We got there as they were just opening. Our hostess came over to let us know that a party of 24 was coming gin and that she wanted to get our order in before they arrived. I thought that was very kind of her to do. We ordered our food and let me tell you it was nothing short of AMAZING!!! From the corn ribs to the chicken, everything was so good. I ordered a mango margarita and even that was perfect. Definitely would recommend this place to everyone (already have) and I will be back soon.

    I live in the neighborhood and have walked by this restaurant for a few years now. With summer a few days away and after not seeing a friend for a while, I thought this would be the best place for us to catch up. Our experience was spectacular. From the music (there was a DJ playing house music throughout the night), to the food (so delicious and fresh), to the service (our waitress was attentive and charismatic), it really was an overall amazing experience. The drinks were delicious as well! Can't wait to go back again.

    Great atmosphere! The service was impeccable. Chill vibe. Not pushy and finally a restaurant without a time limit. Drinks were great too!

    Literally got kicked out even when we had food ordered and drinks ordered bc of a time limit and we had a reservation. I run two companies and I would never treat paying clientele who are ordering more food and drinks like this. Disappointed was looking forward to coming here. It was our wedding anniversary. Literally ruined it for us. Safe to say we won’t be back. The tacos are super small. The drinks are weak. Wouldn’t go back honestly.
