Casa Enrique is a Michelin-starred Mexican restaurant in Long Island City, recognized since September 2014, serving chef Cosme Aguilar's recipes from his hometown of Chiapas. That Michelin star combined with a compact dining room has made it a sought-after reservation in the neighborhood.
Because it's a small restaurant with a strong reputation, tables are largely reservation-driven — bookable through OpenTable and Resy — rather than a walk-up-and-wait spot, though walk-ins can still face a wait or turnaway during peak dinner hours, especially on weekends. If you don't have a reservation, arriving right at opening or going on a weeknight is the safer bet for a shorter wait.
Patterns as reported by press and regulars — not measured by damnlines.
Damnlines doesn't have a live camera at Casa Enrique yet, so we can't give you a real-time wait count. Reported guidance: it's a small, Michelin-starred dining room that takes reservations (via OpenTable and Resy), and those book up, especially for weekend dinner — walk-ins without a reservation should expect to wait or be turned away at peak times. Calling ahead or booking online is the safer bet.
Yes — reservations are bookable through OpenTable and Resy, and given the restaurant's small size and Michelin-star reputation, booking ahead is recommended over walking in.
