Acento Latin Kitchen & Bar

Ahhhh this place is sooo good!!!! Today must’ve been my 6-7th time being here. We live in LI now but still come back, and today it was in route back from the poconos heading to our home. We were craving a good Spanish meal; Acento is Colombian. It’s mine and my partner’s favorite Latin place in Astoria, and being Latin ourselves and considering there’s not many places in Astoria area that are of our cuisine (he’s Ecuadorian and I’m PR), this speaks volumes! Haha. I tried to remind myself to capture photos, but we were so hungry and eager to eat, that I ended up taking photos midway through eating! lol. Our favorite treat is the Arepa Cachapa, which is sort of like a sweet corn patty with cheese inside, omg amazing! We had it as our appetizer. Their white rice is so perfect - it’s grainy while still being soft and fluffy, just like I like it. The red beans one of the best fusion of flavors I’ve had and let me tell you that we have rice and beans about 2-3 times per week (like I said we’re Latin and it’s a staple in our household and culture overall). I had the Entraña steak today with yuca fries - steak was so juicy like I like it and yuca fries were perfectly crispy. The chimichurri sauce that comes with it, yummm! Partner had the traditional Bandeja Paisa, which he tends to get at every Colombian spot we go to and he enjoyed every part of the meal (it’s a combo meal, a must try). We all tried each other’s food. My kids shared with us and they even loved it (that says a lot for 4-yr olds who can sometimes can be picky with food! lol), and we also had food left over to bring back home. Great portion sizes, very generous. Atmosphere is so chill, lovely with a mix of different music playing in the background. My kids and I were all grooving to the music haha. We didn’t order any drinks today, but from what we remember, they’re also good and tasty! A must visit if you’re in the area and looking for a guaranteed delicious meal, no underwhelm, and want a bite of our cultural foods that always hit the tummy right! Kid-friendliness: Welcoming to kids. I’ve eaten there several times with them

Brunch was great! Highly recommend for some pretty authentic Cuban eats. Kid-friendliness: They do have high chairs.

Cocktails and service were great. Didn’t order food but will definitely be back again soon!

Todos los días pido domicilio y la verdad es que la en salada no es para nada buena. Hoy le pedí el favor al chico que me atendió por teléfono cambiar la ensalada por lo que fuera así sea un Maduro, el muy amable me dijo que iba a preguntar. Yo escuché toda la conversación donde alguien le decía que no, el le volvió a repetir así sea un maduro por favor y la respuesta fue no. Me parece fatal que un restaurante de cómo respuesta un no! En vez de dar opciones a sus clientes. Como consejo si no se puede cambiar la ensalada por algo más entonces debería mejorarla por que es muy mala, no es solo tirar tomate, pepino y cebolla ácida. Nunca más vuelvo a recomendar este lugar.

The food is ok had the bandeja.

Amaizing Colombian food in Astoria.

Comida deliciosa y excelente atención
