This place has plenty of tables and seating to accommodate large groups. The service was mediocre, and the food was among the worst Mexican meals ever. The horchata was horrible, so bad that I couldn't drink it. I ended up having water in a dirty cup. All these ladies had an attitude! I saw tilapia floating on a white bucket on the floor, looking like they were dead. They had some nasty-looking containers in the fridge behind the counter, where they kept the open container of horchata. Worst Mexican Restaurant ever! read more

This restaurant has a homey feel to it. The servers were attentive, patient and quick. The food was fresh and everything we had was flavorful. The rice and beans went so well with the juicy chicken breast and pepper steak. Highly recommend and will be going back. read more

Cecina tacos are the best, well cooked, salty, tasty. But super sad the chicken in the tacos dorados have changed to dark meat

I loved going here , it's very authentic to what I would get back home. I was craving some caldo de Res and it was delicious. Don't miss out ! Will be going here regularly since I work nearby :) read more

Antojitos Mexicanos - Caldo de res - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Always been my favorite, AUTHENTIC affordable Mexican food. Moved out the state and still come to visit when I'm in town.

If looking for what I believe to be authentic Mexican food in East Williamsburg, Antojitos Mexicanos is a good choice. The food is tasty, filling, and relatively affordable. I ordered Chicken Nachos Texicano for $11. The serving size was fairly large--arguably enough for two servings. Staff was friendly and practiced social distancing. They wore masks at all times during my visit. Service was fast. My only complaint was the two french fries that somehow found its way into meal. Will I go back, definitely. Support local! read more

Terrible chilaquiles. Ordered them with eggs and a steak, but got beef jerky instead. The tomato sauce was also way too salty. Waited 10 minutes to pay the bill. It's a shame this is the only place around me that shows Mexican futbol. read more

Antojitos Mexicanos - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Have been here twice, this is the most authentic place in NEW YORK for Mexican food. As a native Mexican I have been searching hard, and I found it. My favorite meal was the breakfast, got huevo con chorizo it came with brands and rice, fresh corn tortillas, everything was perfect. The only thing I did not like was the barbacoa tacos, it was too gamey, I believe they cook it different that what I'm used to in North Mexico(our barbacoa is way greasier) I love this place and it really felt like my mother made me breakfast and whenever I'm homesick, this place is a few steps away. read more

I stopped by this neighborhood spot right before closing last night. I ordered 3 Chicken Quesadillas and a fruit punch Jarritos. The staff was really friendly and courteous. I felt awful for not knowing they were about to close. I literally was walking by and decided to pop in. The cheese on the quesadilla wasn't melted and was rather minimal. The chicken was super dry, lacking flavor. When i added the salsa verde, it made it spicy, but it was still lacking. Perhaps I'll stop by again and order something else, but the quesadilla was read more

This is my GO TO spot on Saturday afternoons... Whenever i'm out with my "Elite Bestie" the night before. This place wakes me up from whatever daze i'm in. The food here is definitely a pick me up with an extra kick. The day always starts out by waking up on the couch around 11am then hauling ass at noon. When I mean hauling ass, I mean walking across the street. Literally. This place is like haven for hangovers. The cure is in the food. I do recommend starting off with a Molé Chicken Tamale. ($1.50) This will get the taste buds in check. The tamales are freshly made and steaming hot inside the corn husks. No sauce needed. It's full of flavor and it's actually making my mouth water right now... What I usually get is the Huevos Rancheros. ($5) This doesn't have meat, but for you carnivores. I do have something especially for you guys... I usually get the Huevos con Chorizo. ($5) It's scrambled eggs with sliced chorizo. They aren't shy either on the meat. So there is plenty of chorizo to go around. You too can eat well and cure your hangover for under $8. Antojitos Mexicanos... You NEVER FAIL me... read more

I came back! I walked into the Antojitos at 11:30am and ordered the whole fried fish. For $10, i got a huge plate of rice and avocado salad with a beautifully fried fish. Eating the fish takes some finesse. It has bones in it. I went at it like a lady and used my fork. When i succeeded by eating Most of the meat, boyfriend used his hands to free all the good meat i left hanging onto the bones. So, use your hands. The fish is fresh. Its well seasoned and has a delightful crust on the skin! Brush up on your spanish. They speak little english here! But I enjoy it because my little spanish and their little english is a perfect place to meet. They dont rush you, which i like. And while my mother thought I was crazy to order fish for breakfast, it was a beautiful thing! A thing I will be doing again soon! read more

This is by far the worse Mexican food I've ever tried. I decided to give this place a try since I live close by. I was excited to order my nachos de carnitas as I always purchase this from a usual spot I go to on Montrose. My sister ordered the Quesadilla and tostada. I was excited to head home and dig in. To my surprise the nachos were huge so I was ready to chow down! My first bite I was very disappointed. The pork was hard and in chunks rather than it being shredded. The cheese was powdered cheese and not actual cheese shreds. I took another bite attempting to not throw away my $8 nachos and waste my money and still wasn't satisfied. I hear my sister in the other room telling me how bland her quesadilla was and how awful the tostada was. We swapped food to try it and it was absolutely not worth it. She hated my nachos just as much as I hated her food. Our entire $23 order was thrown out in the garbage. All in all I rate this place 1 star because the service was nice but the food is really not authentic. If you really want some good Mexican food try Cafe Los Arcos right across the block on Bushwick ave. They have delicious authentic Mexican food and they're cheaper. read more

Its noooo posible that these people just send mi food on a pz off aluminum foild....no even the most chip container for a $29.00 dlls delivery..so disappointed..!!..almost no cheese on a "cheese" . Quesadilla..!! read more

I honestly can say they got worse. After waiting for about 20 mins, they tell me "Am sorry but there is no rice". No rice? The chef is supposed to be on top of there inventory. You need to improve a lot. Honestamente puedo decir que empeoraban. Después de esperar unos 20 minutos, me dicen "Lo siento, pero no hay arroz". ¿No hay arroz? El Chef esta supuesto estár encima del inventario. Necesita mejorar mucho. read more

Three words overpriced garbage. I try to support our local restaurants in the times of the coronavirus. I ordered three quesadillas two tacos and one burrito the burritos OK I've had better. My problem was with the quesadilla and the taco. quesadilla and taco was dry as the Desert. After two bites my taste buds would not allow me to eat any more,this is my first time there and definitely my last $41 down the drain read more

Antojitos Mexicanos you are really terrific, I had an incredible experience here today. The waits aren't that long. Incredible taste and flavor, Huraches was so good. And also, the service was awesome and the staff was very friendly. Totally recommend Antojitos Mexicanos and we will definitely be back again. read more

This is one of my most favorite Mexican restaurants in New York City. It's a family run business, the staff is very sweet, however occasionally there is a little bit of a language barrier, however if you know what you want to eat and you see it on the menu it's easy to get what you seek. I find ingredients to be top notch, the flavor is authentic, and the salsa is nice and spicy. I love the flautas which are made with chicken breast and fried perfectly. If you have an opportunity to check this place out don't miss it, it's very reasonably priced and the food is just awesome overall! read more

This place sucks they really need to get a good cook ,the food this guys are making right now it's pure garbage. read more

This is my TO GO SPOT ! The food is amazing. I have been coming to this Mexican restaurant since I was born My parents would take my sister and I every Saturday. I took all my friends to this spot and they loved it. read more

I love the food. Especially their taco de tinga and their tamales. I wish they had the tamales daily.

a lot of people ask me constantly, "joolie, where do you eat breakfast around your hood?" my usual reply would be, "I cook it at home" but- that's a bag full of lies! too hung over, exhausted from work or straight up LAZY... I choose a delicious and cheap option every Sunday morning (if I'm not having brunch with friends) to have $5 HUEVOS RANCHEROS. yes, child... $5 dolla, holla!!!! perfectly made rice, salty but satisfying beans, a crispy fried corn tortilla under two fried eggs... perfection! dabble some red and green sauce, swig some Mexican coca-cola (yes, it's better!) and enjoy the hilarious jukebox. Kumbia and Mariachi~ my fav! lol the Tamales, Huraches, Cemitas, Tortas, burritos and Chicken Mole are hits! the shrimp cocktail is refreshing during the summer! your broke-but-still-cute-ass can get full here for under $8, kid! this isn't fine dining, folks. the servers aren't crazy friendly, either. but I STILL frequent there along with my Sunday Fun-day crew; we're their regulars and love it here. read more

Hot Tamale! Thats right. I'm addicted to their tamales. The mole being my favorite. Whenever there is nothing left to eat for breakfast on the weekends I get me some tamales. They do run out of tamales by about 1pm everyday so get their early if you want the best tamales I''ve ever had. Did I mention their $1.50! I only come here for breakfast; huevos rancheros that are too good to cost $5 and chorizo con eggs that really is chorizo WITH eggs and not the other way around. Be sure to grab a Coke in a glass bottle, it's the real thing. read more

If you come here you must try the Taco with Cecina. Cecina is a really nice salty steak meat. I am not much of a beef eater but this people make it really good, better than the chicken meat, skip on anything with chicken meat, go for the Cecina. Glad that I tried it, lots of different dishes and the prices are nice and low. read more

Finally! Authentic, local and cheap Mexican that I've been craving, and only a 10-min walk from mi casa... This morning I was considering going to ihop, (don't judge me. It's their red velvet pancakes that have the allure) BUT my desire to patronize more local businesses, rather than feed the corporate machine that is "ihop" & co won out. That & the fact that I was really craving huevos rancheros. Yelp to the rescue! I discovered Antojitos after typing in "huevos rancheros" & my zip, and voila! With lots of decent reviews, too. So of course I'm adding my 2 cents in... I am delighted that we went. I'm stuffed like a tick in deer season. The humongous plate was only $5 as advertised, and pretty tasty. I had to add a good measure of the green sauce to get more flavor, but all said, great value. Also tried something new: a "mamey" shake. (note: it has been my experience that "milkshakes" in Mexican restaurants here are heavy on the "milk", light or zero on the "ice cream"). They are called "licuados", the server called it a "milkshake". It is not, at least not in the American sense of the word. But... I like them cuz they're a lot more refreshing than your typical milkshake. Googled "mamey" & it was described as "a fruit native to Central America, that is salmon in color, and tastes like pumpkin, sweet potato, and maraschino cherries". WHAT? I immediately recognized the synesthesia at work, read: It tastes like cherries! It LOOKS like the other two things, which also happen to be orange. Duh! Anyway, it was muy delicioso! And tasted like cherries. My only complaint is this: when I order a $5 plate of huevos rancheros, and it only comes with 5 tortilla chips, and I ask for "a few more chips", you should tell me before charging me $2 for extra tortilla chips! I guess I got spoiled living in TX where free chips & salsa are standard fare at ALL restaurants, Mexican or not! Anyway, I was surprised to see the $2 extra charge for tortilla chips. I probably would have ordered them anyway, cuz the food was so cheap, but at least give me a heads-up AS I'm ordering, not just like "surprise!" on the bill (it is not listed as a menu item, btw). Bill ended up being about $19, but that's for 2 people, each with a $5 plate & a $3 "licuado", plus coffee for one. Oh, and the $2 chips. Still gave a decent tip (as always...I strongly believe that if you don't have the $ to tip well, you really have no business eating out. If you disagree, I suggest you take this tip: fix yer own food, cheap-ass!) Service was good, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that tax had already been included in the prices. I suppose that makes up for the chip fee. I shall return... read more

The servers that work here are sweet and the food is cheap and good. I get my burrito or taco or chimichanga fix and all is right in the world. I somehow trust this place more than the other million similar Mexi-places on the block. WIll have to try the breakfast, fish and tamales after reading the reviews. read more

This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurant of all time order food from here is well worth it in addition it very good and taste very good from the Torta de milanesa de res to huaraches and also their tacos and the best drink here is the juice of horchata which taste very good read more

Perhaps this is a more distinctive restaurant for people with a stronger stomach. I've heard good things in other places about the tripe stews and other delicacies that require ingesting large amounts of boiled organs. I'm sorry I can't file a report on the relative merits of those dishes, as I'm a wimp. Instead, I've eaten a couple tacos from here, regular ole' carnitas and a meat quesadilla. They were fine, although contrary to popular belief fine isn't acceptable in Brooklyn these days. New Mexico three blocks up is working with better ingredients and a better sense of balanced flavors. A nearby bodega beats these tacos with a very simple arrangement. The fast-casual market is being served by OMG Taco, Blkyn Burro and La Gringa. The atmosphere is depressingly downmarket with a wide-open dining room adorned with plastic Mexican-esque tchotchkes that came via Mercado de Guangdong. The prices are cheaper here than the competition, but with the arrival of better places both above and below the establishment, it's hard to see this making into any kind of regular rotation. read more

Breakfast (desayuno) at Antojitos is possibly the best hangover remedy on earth and costs around $5 - you get a platter of beans and rice and eggs topped with salsa and a packet of hot corn tortillas to sop it all up with. Paired with an ice-cold Tamarindo, I'm as good as back in the sleepy southern California surf town from whence I sprang. Patrons and staff are generally Spanish-speakers, so polish up your high school Spanish or be prepared for a lot of gesturing and pointing. Fear not, gringos, the menu has pictures. NOTE: Do NOT drink the coffee. It will ruin all the good that the breakfast does for you. Also, it's served in styrofoam. I usually bring my own from home and noone seems to mind. Then again, I'm a coffee snob. read more

I've been coming here since I was 4/5 years old. My tia would bring me every Sunday after church. The food is authentic Mexican and the staff is polite as always. I always get tortas with tamarindo juice, but that's just my personal fave. Everything is flavorful! read more

Have been going there for years, never had a bad meal! Food is done fresh and tastes delicious, prices are affordable

This is the place to go in this neighborhood for authentic Mexican food. The nachos con guacamole come with a creamy and cilantro-y guacamole (the best I've ever had) and a spicy salsa, we get them every time. The chilaquiles con salsa verde are to die for. Their burritos and quesadillas are top notch, too. The prices are really affordable and we go here every weekend. read more

I don't know who the lady in the front desk taking the orders is but she is very rude and should not be dealing with customers. The food was subpar and not worth dealing with rude employees. They should figure out how to talk to customers if they want them to come back, would NOT recommend this place to anyone go somewhere else for better Mexican food. read more

So my mother ordered a delivery and was told by the restaurant it would be 40 minutes. So she was on her way home and she received a call from the delivery man and he said he was here she said she was 2-3 minutes away if he could please wait; he rudely yelled at her a 58 year old woman that why the hell she would order food and not even be there to pick it up, yelling about how she's wasting her time. My mother reminded him he arrived before the delivery time and that she was only a block and a half away ( she was with my 11 month old niece). Well she arrived for the delivery and the dude threw the food at her and the Spicy Salsas fell out on-top of her and got into her eye ! She went to the restaurant and they said they would take "Disciplinary actions" towards him and she said he deserves to get FIRED! He flat out assaulted her ! We've been customers for more than 10 years to be treated that way ! read more

My husband is Mexican and this is his fav spot in brooklyn to get cheap tasty Mexican food! That says slot. Tamales are amazing here. Everything is good though and so inexpensive.

I use to come with my whole family of 12+ on the weekends great service great food. I went yesterday I was waiting for someone so why not a milkshake to start. It took 15 min for that shake. Then I ordered a beef tostada which was good also took a while though when my friend came we ordered a torta de milanesa de pollo it took over 20 mins. So we ordered a side guacamole with chips. I had to go to the counter to ask for some sour cream because they were barley around and she wanted to charge me 3$ for that like really for sour cream I didn't want a whole bottle. Anyway A lady that came to order take out got her food first. There was only 4 tables max. I get it it's busy but come one two girls and that's how slow and unattended. They also had a problem with the table in front of us. We needed to leave and of course no one was around so I went took my plate up so they can set it up to go. And I asked for the check went back to my table she came back with my food and said I forgot your check. She was doing other things rather then bringing my check I just added what I order and left the money on the table. Bad service food took long. And me and my friend got stomach aches right after there. Maybe in the weekends they have better cooks and service. But I doubt I'll be going back here for a while. Very upset for this experience after I told my friend how great the place is and we went through that smh. read more

Whenever I visit my mothers job which is near this restaurant we always order food from here and pick it up. I always take a quick soda along with the food as well. I order the quesadilla with beans and rice which is delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant since it is affordable and meets your expectations of authentic Mexican food. On top of that the servers are very kind. read more

This place is the real deal, if your deal is authentic Mexican foods...of course, this is not Rosa Mexicana, but rather more of a Mexican diner. Antojitos means little plates or snacks, and this is mostly what they serve here. The huraches are fantastic, as are the tacos. The horchata was tasty and not too sweet, like some cloying versions I've had elsewhere. All in all, this is a great place to grab a quick taco to go, or to sit and savor some great Mexican comfort foods like pozole (hominy soup), huarcahes, sopes and tacos. I am a teacher in the neighborhood, and found this place when a taco craving hit. My Mexican students confirmed that this is a local favorite, and popular with families who live in the hood. So be adventurous, walk in, sit down, and prepare to practice your Spanish as you order things you have never tried before... read more

i live right next to the place so convenience is a plus. it's also crazy cheap! i've head from a few people that this place is authentic mexican and i can believe it; the chicken quesadilla looks nothing like the taco bell variety. that said, it was pretty delicious, albeit a little bland. the tortilla was the best part, certainly the most flavorful. i ordered a taco with cecina (salted beef) as well and found the cilantro and onions to be almost tasteless, instead just adding a flake-y texture to the experience. still, will definitely be going back. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE. Been going here since I was a little girl. The food is amazing and very great priced. They are also very clean and have a bathroom. Staff has always been quick and friendly. The food doesnt take long to be served and it still taste great. They have highchairs for anyone with kids. The seating area is large as well. Music plying in the background is a plus too. I recommend to anyone. I'll definitely keep going to this restaurant. read more
