The first time I tried to go to LaGuardoa Cafe I got in town too late. This time I arrived at the airport at 6:30, was hungry and knew I could make it there. So glad we made it! We got the beef and pork with yellow rice. It was SO good. I also ordered a chicken and cheese empanada. Holy moly! They were gigantic, fresh and delicious. The staff were fantastic and so helpful. It's a small location, so not too many places to sit, but we got lucky. The prices were also very reasonable. Super happy I got there and recommend going to give it a try if you're in Queens near the airport.

I visited this place, the food was excellent, but what I liked the most was the service of three very friendly girls, Miriam, Fior, and Grabriela. We invite you to stop by this place to enjoy good food and good service

My mother wanted to see her friend from her school-age years. However, she didn't want to go to her house, she want to be outside. I google for local restaurants, and this place popped up. They were very accommodating and pleasant with my seniors. The food was good and the price was even better. They have a fountain of juices where you can select the juice you want. Refill is not free. They have soft music playing while we eat.

First, the food was awesome. BBQ ribs had good flavor. I also had a cheese empanada that was impressive and steamed vegetables. The servers were all nice and pleasant, bringing the food to the table and even adding to our order without us heading back to the counter. My friend asked for beef and the server broight beans. When he went to correct the issue, they did so without issue. The store was a bit cramped, but I don't think it was designed for dine in. I'd would return.

Delicious Spanish food for the price. Note that this isn’t a regular cafe, they specialize in Spanish food not coffee. Chicken and rice was good. Chicken was super tender. Juice was $5 and nothing special so I do not recommend that. Note that there is no proper menu and staff are a little difficult to understand if you are not Spanish, but they are nice.

Food was tasty and fresh, giving homemade Puerto Rican culture and filling. Staff was pleasant and gave big scoops of food, well worth the price (Chipotle take note) It was pretty much empty when we arrived, and I recommend this as a good stop for lunch since it's near the airport. Would definitely come back.
