Cafe Rubio
98-05 Northern Boulevard,Corona, NY 11368
(718) 505-1020
(718) 505-4670
Nuevo Latino/Caribbean in Corona. Cafe Rubio sways to a Caribbean Latin beat. The food tends to Nuevo Latino and not the traditional, with a few of the classics. Many dishes do have Spanish Caribbean influences. Rubio is inclusive, not only showcasing his Dominican heritage, but South American, Italian and Spanish influenced platters.
The kitchen prepares a mean Taino Caliente (Spicy Chivo), which is baby goat meat. Salty, with some peppery notes, the sauce is addictive. The goat pieces are as tender as they can possibly be prepared. Another plus for goat fanatics is that shattered bone fragments are minimal.

Restaurant is in a quiet part of Astoria, and parking is very easy on a Friday night. The atmosphere is very friendly (the guy at the bar came by the potted mint plant next to me to get some leaves, which was amusing) and easy. The food was very good.
