Hello Jackson Heights Life !
I’m Rigo, manager of Laly’s Restaurant. My apologies for taking a while to introduce ourselves here on Jackson Heights Life. I’ve been hearing from our guests that I should come here and read what the community has to say about us. First, I would like to thank everyone who has already given us the chance to visit & try us out! I’ve probably met some of you whether it’s been here at the restaurant or while I’ve delivered your food at your homes.
I can understand our concept might be a bit confusing as to who we are or what we’re trying to achieve. Here’s our story: Dionisio & Baltazar, brother in-laws, always had a dream of opening up a restaurant together with the concept of serving their community. They both have over 15 years experience working in well known restaurants in NYC as cooks, sous chefs, executive chefs, they’ve done it all. They both reside 10 minutes away from Laly’s Restaurant and were just waiting for the perfect opportunity to open a restaurant. McDonald’s on the corner of 76th & Roosevelt closed down and they saw the perfect opportunity. Their mission was to serve their community & they came up with the “American & Mexican”concept . Ive known Dionisio & Baltazar for years & they reached out to me & offered me the chance to be part of the team and run the front of house. I’ve been also working front of house positions since I was 15 years old. Our main focus is being part of the community & serving the freshest food. We get some of our meat & dairy products from Sullivan farms from upstate NY. & I’m Tuesday’s we’ll even make a run to our farmers market on Tuesdays & get local vegetables from Gageski Produce from Riverhead Long Island. We offer a mixture of both American & Mexican platters for breakfast, lunch & dinner. From homemade blueberry pancakes , eggs Benedict to chilaquiles & huevos rancheros. For burgers & sandwiches we offer our already popular cemita burger (8oz of fresh beef cooked to your liking topped with queso Oaxaca, avocado papalo) & our bacon, egg, lettuce, tomato sandwich (B.E.L.T) served on a ciabatta.
We are still waiting on our liquor permit. Once we get the OK, we plan on offering local craft bottled beers as well as Mexican beers. We are currently working on getting a draft beer system put together. Our cocktail menu will consist of , fresh margaritas with choices of fresh flavors available to add. Not only margaritas but we will also add some signature cocktails that will include fresh ingredients as well.
Service for us is very important. Dionisio, Baltazar & I are here every single day & this our new home. And we want everyone who steps in through our doors feel the same way. Please give us a try & feel free to ask for me. & to those who have already tried us out I thank you again & thanks for the feedback as well.
