Our Story The goal – to guarantee a wonderful meal with authentic cuisine and fabulous margaritas, serve over 50 artisanal and ancestral mezcals, and over 100 different types of tequila brands in a vibrant unique atmosphere that boasts excellent service. Ruta Oaxaca Mexican Cuisine opened in Astoria in 2021 with such a wonderful and successful home run that a second location opened in Patchogue in March 2022. Ruta Oaxaca means “Road to Oaxaca,” a historic state in the southern part of Mexico. Mr. Castillo and his Partners are keenly focused on honoring Oaxacan culinary traditions, whose fame is derived in great part from its many varieties of moles. By legend, these ancient recipes are more than sauces, they are the very focus of the meal. Ruta Oaxaca proudly features four moles, each prepared using the Oaxacan mole recipes that have made the cuisine world famous.

Established in 2003, we started as a small cafe and bar with great coffee, snacks, and pizzas. People loved spending time in the café enjoying our frappes or conversing with our friendly staff, so we decided an expansion was in order. In 2006 the first expansion began until our current completed renovation in 2019. We're still serving great coffee, cocktails, and pizza, and have our selection of fresh dishes to choose from that is currently in the works of expanding when our kitchen's renovation reaches its final completion. So come on by, stay awhile, and enjoy all of the beautiful things this Astoria gem has to offer. We are proud to have been offering Avenue Cafe as your home away from home and hope to continue to serve you for more decades to come.

Join us at Aunt Jake's Upper East Side for our Pasta Making Class & 3-course pasta menu! The cost is $60 per person for pasta instruction and the prefix meal. We require a $10 per person non-refundable deposit. The entire experience is approximately 2.5 hours. Please use the OpenTable mobile app for best results when booking the Pasta Experience.–Aunt Jake's was founded in 2015, as the company set out to replicate the idyllic, simplistic cuisine we grew up to enjoy. However, we wanted to create Italian food for the “next” generation. The idea was to develop an Italian concept around the customer’s choice of how to eat pasta compared to how the restaurant wanted you to eat it. With that in mind, Aunt Jake’s core mission is to bring high-quality fresh ingredients daily to craft our handmade pasta and sauces health-consciously. The customer can mix and match sauce with shape and create a custom dish of their own.

    Lagos went above and beyond my expectations. The food was incredible. They weren’t cheap with the liquor in the drinks. The vibe was great and they played the best music. I love the fact that the manager and the waiters always checked on us to make sure that we were good. I would definitely go back again.

    The atmosphere, décor, and service were excellent—truly top-notch. However, I found the $60 Restaurant Week dinner menu to be on the lighter side. The staff encouraged us to order additional dishes for sharing, which we didn’t opt for, but unfortunately, we didn’t feel full and ended up getting food elsewhere afterward. For my main course, I chose the beef dish and was surprised to find it was a patty—I wish this had been clearly indicated on the menu. It wasn’t particularly impressive. That said, the cocktail and dessert were the highlights of the meal and truly stood out.

    Food is very good. Tends not to be crowded when we go on early end, which makes us think the quality of the food may not be widely discovered. We’ve been to about 5 Indian restaurants on the upper east side and none is better and only one possibly is as good, but the service is better at Om. I drink a lot of water and my glass never got near empty!
