Master Critic Review

Ayy Chihuahua 8.3
Astoria (North)-Ditmars-Steinway
Ayy Chihuahua is a Ditmars Mexican restaurant and bar where frozen margaritas, fajitas, and brunch plates meet a lively, neon-accented dining room. It leans more festive than formal, pulling in groups for casual nights out as much as couples sharing sizzling skillets.
