Colombian eatery grew over 17 years - Jackson Heights

“Though much of the food remains the same, the location could not be more different.

Orlando Valencia, 45, and his wife Ruby sell Colombian specialties in a 60-seat restaurant called Xtasis Mega Hamburguesa, at 82-12 Northern Blvd.

They came to Queens in 1989 from Colombia and began selling corn cakes and grilled meat from a pushcart in Jackson Heights at Roosevelt Avenue and 84th Street.”
