Andrea's Chicken

Operating in Maspeth since 2013, this family-run restaurant has the feel of a neighborhood secret. The interior is unexpectedly detailed, decorated from the glassware to the walls. The kitchen serves portion-heavy appetizers alongside main dishes like camarones Cuzco and skirt steak; diners highlight the guacamole in sweet plantain cups and a tangy, sweet pisco sour flavored with chicha morada. A spicy house sauce accompanies the lunch specials, while the Sunday brunch menu offers a simpler, if occasionally confusing, à la carte ordering setup.
