Handmade tortillas, slow-cooked meats, and salsas that mean it. Dine in on 34th Ave, or order ahead and skip the line.
The plates that keep the line out the door. Real photos of these do the heavy lifting.
La Chispa started as a weekend stand and grew into the corner spot Astoria lines up for. The recipes come from home — Puebla by way of Queens — and nothing leaves the kitchen we wouldn't serve our own table.
Tortillas pressed by hand every morning. Meats cooked low and slow. Salsas made fresh, with heat that earns its name.
"The birria is unreal. Consomé so good I drank what was left. Best in the neighborhood, easy."
"Ordered ahead, walked in, food was hot and ready. Al pastor tastes like it should. My regular spot now."
"Handmade tortillas make all the difference. You can taste that everything's fresh. Bring cash and a friend."
