Cafe Salamanca

Hidden gem in Jackson heights. The sea food soup is delicious and the Spanish potatoes are to die for !

The meal was great. We ordered appetizers: sausages and shrimps in garlic. My hubby and I enjoyed the paella. It was so good. We even some leftover to take to go, so we could relive the good memories the next day. The ambience was quiet and subdued. It was about 6 pm when we arrived. I even saw a baby there, so it’s definitely a family venue. Also, this is a great date place. You will see an elder gentleman walking around serenading random customers on their dates. That was romantic! It was hard to find a waiter when we wanted our check, since it got pretty busy around 8 pm. There are no complaints about the quality of our meal or the waitstaff. I even saw outside you can have dinner specials for $ 21 prix fixe to have one appetizer, one entrée, one dessert, and a drink. One thing I thought which could be improved was that they could put on the heat. The waiter sat us by the door, so we felt the icy breeze every time they opened the door – I just wore my coat inside.

Wonderful find! We have eaten here four separate times and found the place to be charming, with great service. Standouts have been Solomillo, exceptional sangria, and mussels. Never disappoints.

We are frequent visitors for wine and light fare such as pulpo and calamari and other items from the tapas menu. The food is invariably delicious and served with rare style and grace. You will not find a friendlier or warmer restaurant or one with such a long-​serving staff in this part of Queens. Enjoy!

Stopped in for some tapas, sat at the bar and the food was great. Solomillo was delicious, comes with onions, peppers and mushrooms, and the marinara sauce for the calamari was amazing. Ambience is very casual, and everyone was very nice.

Good. My paella was salty though. skirt steak was good. they gave us complimentary baby mussels with pico de gallo. empanada was good

This place was great. The food, service and décor were wonderful.
Quite a distance from the subway. That would be my only criticism.
I went there for a surprise birthday party with 40 people in attendance. The restaurant was able to accommodate the large group in a timely fashion and the servers were phenomenal!
For such a large group we had six options for entrees, all the sangria we could drink and seven types of appetizers.
I have never eaten here other than this gathering however I understand from family it is equally wonderful. A definite must for those who love seafood and paella!
