Latin Fusion Eatery Opens In Forest Hills With Noted Chef

FOREST HILLS, QUEENS — A new Latin fusion restaurant has opened on Austin Street in Forest Hills.

Mojo Restaurant, the brainchild of the owner behind Exo Café, opened on Memorial Day at 70-20 Austin St. Dishes include ceviche and tostadas, according to the restaurant's Instagram page.

Chef Emmanuel Piqueras has previously cooked at Arzak, a three-Michelin-star restaurant in Spain, and was the private chef for the president of Peru.

"Mojo sought to recreate the casual, contemporary, yet inviting atmosphere that takes you from mid-day to night through the infusion of ambiances — a Latin restaurant meets cosmopolitan Manhattan restaurant," the eatery's Facebook page says.

The restaurant only serves dinner for now but will add lunch service in the coming weeks.
