Mojave

    

Mojave is a Mexican restaurant located in Astoria, Queens.  It is easy to get to by train, it is the last stop on the N or Q train to Ditmars Blvd on 31st street.  When you walk into the restaurant you get a very rustic feeling.  The walls are that of an ancient adobe home with wood candle lit tables for you to sit at.  There are also candles lining the wall and statues of bulls with big horns attached to the wall.  The seats along the walls make you feel like you are enclosed in cave.  It is very private, personal, and romantic.  When you are seated, which is almost always right away, they bring glasses of water and tortilla chips with two chooses of a pure avocado or pure salsa dip.  I ordered the chicken quesedilla, and my friend ordered the steak fajitas.  When our meals arrived my quesedilla was the entire size of the plate topped with salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.  My friends fajitas arrived still sizzling on an iron skillet, along with a bowl of rice and fajita pancakes to make her own fajitas.
    Mojave is a great place to go to, bring your family and friends and eat delicious food.  My friend and I really enjoyed ourselves, or meals were fantastic and not so expensive.  We both spent under twenty dollars.  I would recommend this restaurant to anybody looking for a delicious local Mexican restaurant.

*For the Manhattanites reading the blog this restaurant also has another location on 140 seventh ave named Agave.
