Sandro's Latin Food Restaurant

Astoria’s 23rd Avenue hums with the kind of culinary energy that draws regulars from across the borough. Sandro’s Latin Food Restaurant anchors the strip with flavors that feel both familiar and distinct—Ecuadorian cooking that doesn’t bother with fuss. The menu leans into the rhythms of everyday meals, where small plates and quick bites share space with heartier comfort food.

The spot sits at 27-03 23rd Ave, Astoria, NY 11105, a stretch where lunch crowds spill onto the sidewalk and dinner turns into a quieter affair. Solo diners often grab a stool at the counter, while groups squeeze into booths for brunch or late-night plates. Coffee and beer round out the offerings, and the pace stays brisk without sacrificing the local specialty that keeps people coming back.

Alcohol appears on the menu alongside the kind of dishes that work just as well at noon as they do after midnight. A call to (718) 606-2323 can secure a table, though walk-ins are usually accommodated without much wait. For directions, the map pinpoints the exact corner: here.
