Arminda Guillama-Rodriguez: Great to finally have a place for good cheese in the hood - throw in some beer and a nice cafe style seating area? Win - try a cheese plate, chef's choice, with anything on tap.
Red & Brown: Great spot for a couple pints and some cheese to snack on. Don't forget to make your own 6-pack to go.
Robin Brunelle: Great beer and great cheese but wish you could order your own cheese to eat in. One of my faves in Astoria.

Sergio Kuba: We just moved to this part of the neighborhood and discovered these tacos!! These are the best. Try the fish and the camaron tacos with cheese!!
Vicki Raines: This place is new to the neighborhood, we've only had takeout, but the interior looks great. Highly recommend the pescado taco, and add the cheese option for sure.
Jaimee Estreller: I'm from LA and the food here is reminiscent of that. The fried cheese and shrimp taco is a MUST. Perfect = chips & guac, two tacos, a tamarind jarritos, and that fried dessert with nutella. Yum
Anthony Paredes: Unbelievable mozzarella, they make it fresh everyday and if your lucky you can see them stretching out the mozzarella in the back.
Christian Salcedo: Mamas has been a pillar landmark of Corona for many years. This place is a jewel with a variety of different meats and cheeses. I had Pastrami and Fresh mozzarella and it was delicious.
Serious Eats: Excellent fresh mozzarella put to good use in hero sandwiches. Don't miss the cannoli either.
