Mi Cielito Colombiano: Authentic Colombian Cuisine and Exceptional Service in Astoria, NY

The food here is exceptional: rich in flavor, incredibly fresh, and beautifully prepared. The service was outstanding as well. This was our first visit, but we’ll absolutely be returning and recommending it to everyone. Diego was our server and he was attentive and friendly. Thank you Diego

I like this place. We had brunch and the food tasted really good. Baked Chix w/ lemon, awesome. Juicy, moist and tasty. The rice and beans w/chicharones, yum. Not into sweets but the flan w/caramel just hit the spot, it was sweet but not too sweet. The ladies, servers, was very nice and attentive. The ambience, upgraded industrial columbian resto, great.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had such an amazing experience at this Colombian restaurant! The service was absolutely incredible — everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious, full of authentic flavor, and the drinks were just as amazing. Everything came out fresh and perfectly made. Definitely one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a while — I’ll 100% be coming back!

I had such a great experience here! The food was delicious — everything came out fresh, hot, and perfectly cooked. The atmosphere was relaxed but still had a nice energy, and the place was spotless. What really made the night special was Sebastian, our bartender. He was friendly, attentive, and clearly knew his craft. The drinks were perfectly mixed — not too strong, not too sweet — and he made great recommendations based on what we liked. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and it shows in the way he takes care of everyone at the bar. Overall, it was one of those nights where everything just came together — great food, great drinks, and amazing service. I’ll definitely be back and will be asking for Sebastian again!

Amazing little Columbian hidden gem I found. The food was delicious, prompt, and service was great!

Food was delicious and large portions! (My plate could easily feed me for 3-4 meals, partner at least 2) Pineapple infused tequila quick friendly service. Clean space with nice music & atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Why 4 and not 5 ⭐s? The food was super tasty and a decent amount. I ordered the steak in red sauce with rice, beans and fried plantains... When no plantains came, I asked I'm pretty sure it comes with it. He said that sorry the menu has been updated even though it says it we don't offer it. If it's on the menu, it should be offered. I mean a many Spanish/Columbian restaurants before and it's just part of a typical plate. To have it on the menu and not include it after purchasing it Just left a bad taste in my mouth... Or lack thereof.

There have been so many restaurants over the years in this spot that I had pretty low expectations for Mi Cielito. But it turns out that the food is really delicious! The chicken breast managed to have a little char on the outside but be totally juicy inside. It was truly one of the best cooked chicken breasts I've ever had--and it was huge. It was pounded thin and took up the entire plate. I honestly wanted to go into the kitchen to see how they cooked this thing because they made this simple chicken breast so delicious. Drinks were strong and generously poured (I second the Sangria; my companion loved the mojito). Service was warm and friendly. I'll be back!
