    An authentic family owned Mexican restaurant. The food is cooked with love and flavor! We had a table of 15 and pretty much took up most of the restaurant! The service was superb! The ambiance is casual. Come and get ready for some great food and drinks!

    Been here several times through the years, but for reason I never left a review. Had my birthday dinner here with a group of 10. Service was excellent - I believe they're all family and maybe the owners too? Even though we ordered a ton of dishes, they managed to bring them all at the same time and at the perfect temperature too. Their steak is amazing - definitely some of the best I ever had. But the star was definitely the short ribs. It just melted as soon as it made contact with my fork. Only gripe is that their aguachile was not spicy at all. Would've loved it with a bit more heat. But will definitely be back more often.

    Fish of the day and flautas

    It was aii, maybe I got the wrong thing I mean who gets fish at a Mexican spot? but the drinks and the esquite were good.

    Crab tostada :)

    Sat outside, good shade even when it's hot as b*lls. After spending winter months somewhat hibernating, most New Yorkers appreciate this. Family owned I think, and the attention to detail is felt in every bite. I loved everything I tried, crab tostada, chicken flautas and I'm still holding for dessert. Fresh, made to order, and no pre packaged sauces, swing by for taste of Mexican soul food amidst this gentrified hell hole.

    My second visit in over 3 years. Fantastic Williamsburg neighborhood restaurant serving consistent high quality food, case proven as still going strong despite the Covid restrictions. Family operated by mom, husband and wife, very friendly and efficient. Fish was cooked perfectly with a nice sauce that complimented it well, highly recommended for fish lovers. Chicken cooked crispy and moist on a bed of mixed chopped vegetables. Seafood rice full flavored, the kind where you can taste the ocean. Dessert was fantastic with a crispy honey comb pastry shell on top of fruits/cream Check out the menu for a full delicious description as my wording doesn't do the dishes justice

    Ceviche

    The food and drinks were great when they came. They were completely overwhelmed and unorganized on Cinco de Mayo. Orders took a long time if you were sitting outside on the patio. It took 20 minutes for our first round of drinks to arrive for a party of two. The table next to us 30 min for their party of 6. 40 minutes later we finally had our appetizers guacamole and ceviche. Since we were chatting and catching up we didn't realize that our tacos never came after 40 minutes until half of the order arrived for the table next to us and another parties food who had arrived an hour after us their food came out. Excuses were made that their kitchen made errors and they were trying to make our order. 2.5 hrs later the tacos finally came out. Our server was nice but it shouldn't take 3 hours

    mezcal margarita

    Food here is surprisingly good, and I walk out with favorites aka reasons I will return. Great spot to grab tacos and a drink in Bushwick! I came here for early dinner on Cinco de Mayo, and restaurant filled up quickly after we got our food. There's a filming crew outside, so it make the place extra vibey. I ordered a Mezcal Margarita, and it was delicious and tasty, slightly smoky with the perfect amount of sweetness and alcohol in there! Fish in the fish taco is lightly battered and fried, and the sauce makes it so unique. I wish we ordered more, but see photos for what we ordered. Restaurant is clean located in the busy area of Bushwick. Great food presentation, and friendly service! Looks like it's a family owned business? I'll be back!

    Taco prices went up :(

    Short Ribs with Mole Rojo is a very appetizing entree and it comes with rice. It's sour and slightly sweet with a red sauce all over and it's the most tender and juicy short ribs that are slow cooked. The Steak(medium rare) is surprisingly amazing and the vegetables on the side match with it so well. The sauce that the steak comes with is slightly spicy/salty and enhances the flavor of the veges and steak. Also it's quick, only took 20 minutes max. The shrimp ceviche is a little bit bland, it does come with chips to dip into the ceviche. The tacos: Steak taco -tasted bad Chorizo taco -amazing, very flavorful but not too salty Fish taco-amazing, very crunchy and juicy on the inside, the pico de gallo works as an oil cutter with it's sour flavor. Corn on the cob- Not on the menu anymore but they made it for us when we asked. I asked them to cut it in half and they had no issue with that. The cheese, sauces and spices on the corn was amazing but the corn itself wasn't sweet enough. TLDR; Definitely get the Short Ribs, Steak, fish taco, chorizo taco!! 10/10 would definitely come again!

    Corn on the cob, sauced up, was okay, mild flavors

Our reservation was for 8:30pm, but we arrived early and Alejandra, the hostess, was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. Even though she was ready to seat us, we decided to hang at the bar until the rest of our party arrived and that was the perfect move. Alkarys behind the bar was top-tier. She recommended the Siempre Reposado, and let me tell you... smooth, clean, dangerously good. If you're into tequila, that's a must. Now let's talk about the food. We ordered the quesadilla, rajas, tamales, tacos, and the queso fundido and every single dish hit. The queso fundido came out bubbling, rich, perfectly melted with that pull you want when you scoop it up. The tamales were moist and packed with flavor, wrapped beautifully and clearly made with care. The rajas had that perfect balance of roasted pepper sweetness and savory depth. The tacos? Authentic, well-seasoned, and layered with flavor, no shortcuts. Even the quesadilla stood out, crispy on the outside with that perfectly melted interior. Everything felt traditional, elevated but still true to its roots. You can taste the authenticity. Service was attentive without being overbearing, the ambiance was super casual and laid back, the kind of Brooklyn spot you pull up to for a real dinner experience, not just a quick bite. Highly recommend this place if you're out and about in Brooklyn. Definitely coming back for the tequila, the queso fundido, and round two of those tacos. I'm gonna try eating at the bar to check out the spot in the front of the house.

    4.4 and rounded up. Ambiance 4 stars…read more Food 5 stars. Service 4.3 stars. AMBIANCE: Walking to the restaurant from the subway, it's located on an unassuming block at the corner of 4th St and Havemeyer in Williamsburg, front of store doesn't particularly stand out. Walking in they've decorated with creative, crafty (in a good way) touches--the multitude of ropes draped from the ceiling add dimension to the ceiling and the bar back wall is composed of wood pieces forming a multi-colored herringbone pattern. Textured glass pendant lights hanging from the ceiling throw mini geometric patterns across the dark walls, and vibrant canvas artworks add pictorial interest along the walls. FOOD: YUM. I can see why this place was jam packed on a Saturday night, and reservations are needed. Strong recommendation for their tasting menu at $58 pp, what a delightful meal! 8 sharing dishes and 3 desserts were perfect for a party of five, and drinks are separate though you can add a cocktail pairing for $47. For each main they provide a serving per person, and the desserts are shared. I came hungry and was so full by the end of the meal--everything was delicious! - grapefruit guacamole w/house-made chips: the grapefruit chunks were "meaty" and surprisingly went really well with the guac, it added a different citrus element than the usual lime. Comes with a small bowl of maybe 6-7 chips and we asked for two chips refills since the chips to guac and salsa ratio was low. - spicy faroe islands' salmon tartar: tasty and I liked the latin flavors and corn, snow peas, a touch of wasabi. Flavors of the sesame-soy-truffle-lemon vin and crema got a little muddled. Relatively more "generic" dish of the evening though I was here for it! Any dish with fresh tender salmon, I can't complain. - blue crab and carrot tostada, generous shredded crab salad on top of freshly crisp blue corn tortilla. Topped with pumpkin seeds, dill, cilantro, and saffron-orange aioli. - three cheese & artichoke 'queso fundido': served in a very hot ceramic pot and super melty and delicious, eaten with the fluffy grilled pita and green apple slices + salsa. One of the top picks of the evening. - roasted bone marrow and chorizo, served as tacos with fresh blue corn tortillas, and added a sprinkle of pickled onions--does that sound amazing? Bc it was AAHMAZING. - spicy chipotle-guajillo shimp 'diablo' (not spicy): served with pumpkin tortillas and three accompaniments on the side--mushroom chile crisp, horseradish crema, celery 'salsa macha". Part 2 to make your own tacos was another hit! Our entire table agreed if they sold the sauce for the shrimp we'd all buy it. - heritage pork osso bucco 'carnitas' with Fall-spiced black mole, sour cherry mostardo, calabrian chile pesto: cue drooling now. This part 3 of the tacos was served on pumpkin tortillas; the meat was practically falling off the bone, tender, juicy and flavorful. - buffalo-style com 'elote: sooo good too! A little messier to eat since it comes drizzled with spicy hot sauce butter, feta, lime aioli, cilantro, though totally worth it! - Desserts: --green tea matcha churros: comes with two little pots of spiced mexican chocolate & passion fruit sauce. Warm, sugary and crisp without being too sweet. --pumpkin spiced-vanilla flan: topped with sour cherries, cocoa nibs & toasted seed 'trail mix", if you love flan you'll love this, so smooth and creamy with a bit of crunch and tang from the cherries. --pistachio tres leches cake with cream cheese frosting, raspberry, using an olive oil cake: we all agreed this was probably the best tres leches we've ever had. The pistachio nuttiness and the creaminess from the milks paired well. SERVICE: Very friendly and attentive service though it was very loud in the restaurant and they had to really shout. There was a delay in the middle of our meal I think bc kitchen was slammed, after the entree we waited about 35 min for our desserts. Considering they limited the seating to 2 hours and about half of our party arrived 20 min late, and accounting for the long wait pre-dessert, they did us solid by extending our table time by about an hour in total. Also great that they brought the first dessert out with a candle for my friend's birthday.

    A trendy spot for modern Mexican eats! Everything was baseline yummy, standouts include Blue Crab…read moreTostada, Shrimp and Scallop Tacos and Tiramisu Tres Leches. Vegetarian options were super great too, and decent selection. We ordered à la carte, but there's a chef's tasting menu for $63 which feels well worth.
