Overall a cute Mexican place in Williamsburg for dinner!

Outside it did say "Happy Hour All Sunday" However, there is nothing on the menu that showed such. It's okay, we didn't come for drinks I came to eat and it was awesome. Everything was well seasoned. Not too spicy and fresh. The guacamole on my plate was the best I've ever had, I wish I would've gotten a side of that with chips. The chilaquiles were on point and even the chicken was super flavorful. Our server was amazing and refilled our water and asked if we needed anything else. The ambiance was chilled and relaxed. I loved it. I'll definitely be back.

We ordered the fish tacos, hamachi crudo, tuna tostada, charred octopus, and Frijoles de Olla, which is their namesake tamal. I couldn't tell based on the menu descriptions how large these dishes were so I asked our server for some guidance, but these ended up being much larger than he described. We ended up with 5 dishes that we thought were small plates to be much larger, and ended up with way too much food. The hamachi crudo was so fishy I didn't want to eat it, the tamal had no flavor, and the charred octopus, while pretty tasty, took nearly an hour to hit our table, which we weren't given a heads up about. The tuna tostada was the best bite and topped with a very aromatic salsa macha I quite enjoyed. The cocktails were pretty good as well. These didn't really hold up as leftovers, so I found myself kind of disappointed so much food was wasted and that the food didn't taste very good to begin with.

I loved the mother's dining room ambiance. We were seated right away. However, the service was very slow. We started with the guacamole, which was very tasty and had jalapeños in it, which gave it a good kick. Then we got the street corn? Which was also very good. My daughter loved her quesadilla. She wasn't a fan of the yuca fries, but I thought they were delicious. My mom and I ordered the shrimp diavolo. My mom got it without the sauce. I didn't eat much of the sauce, but it was good, just spicy as expected. The rice it came with and the corn tortillas were a perfect pairing. My father and husband ordered the asada yucateca, which they both enjoyed but felt was cooked more rare than medium rare. My brother, who lives in Brooklyn and we were visiting, ordered the pollo en mole cassero. He liked it and noted it was spicy. The prices were reasonable and we loved that it wasn't so loud. We could have a conversation. I would recommend and will be coming back. Would love to try a margarita one time.

WORTH THE HYPE!…read more Absolutely delicious omgggg! My party of 3 tried the "classic mixtape" which includes 6 plates of food to share family style. The plates we chose were the: - chilled cucumber kimchi - whipped yuzu ricotta toast - shrimp tacos - chopped cheese rice cakes (fan fave!) - garlic honey butter tatter tots - legendary cheeseburger (my personal fave!) I swear everything was delicious, served hot and fresh. The servers were mindful of bringing out the plates at interval times so we're not sitting there with a table full of food which could be overwhelming. Everyone was so kind and attentive and I'm definitely coming back beacuse I had a great time!! 10/10 recommend!

My husband and I swung by recently with a craving for nachos and were glad we did. Nachos were the perfect size for two people, we just wished it had a little more steak (which was an $8 upcharge). Also got a couple of tacos.. one was the huitlacoche, which was definitely more authentic than we've seen elsewhere (other places we've been to in the city have just used regular mushrooms and just called it huitlacoche). Flavor was good, though more subtle than what we've had in Mexico. We also got a carnitas taco, which had a generous serving of pork however was dripping in oil. They didn't have a lot of the beer listed on their menu, so would keep that in mind too. Not super crowded on a Friday night, so we were able to actually hear each other talk!

If u want chips and guac it's $16 which was the same price as my entree... but i did It . At that price It better be amazing .. nope super bland. Tried to zest It up with lime and salt..still trash. The chips were stale , which i asked for fresh chips , was given slightly better chips. The flautas is what really had this place in the dumpster for me . On the menu It says cheese flautas with all the toppings etc. then the option to "ADD" chicken or steak. It came out , and was fried to a crisp! ( mind u, i like my food crisped ) but this was just simply burnt . The filler was just slices of super dry chicken and that's It ! Toped with sour cream and sprinkle of cheese. I asked the waitress why there was no cheese , and she said it's sprinkled on top . No that's just garnish . This was supposed to be a cheese flauta that i added chicken to . So i said if i didn't add chicken what would this have been . She said oh It would have had melted cheese inside...... just idiotic in my opinion . The driest thing I've ever been served ! I've had better food at a bodega ! If you want good food , please stay clear of this nasty place !

I debated writing this review because who has the timeeee or energy, but turns out, I do! This was…read moremy partner's and my 5 year anniversary, and we'd moved to the neighborhood a few months ago and were thrilled to have such a highly rated restaurant right around the corner. From almost day one, we agreed we'd save up to celebrate our anniversary here, since the price point is a bit steep. We made a reservation, and the day came with pouring rain. We ran over, soaked but excited. The person we assumed was the host greeted us kindly and said they'd do something special once we mentioned the anniversary. The whole restaurant was full and everyone, guests and staff, were all watching the World Cup projected on the wall, which we honestly loved. That kind of community energy, everyone coming together over the game, is genuinely a great vibe. The problem was there was only one server for the entire floor, and it took 15 minutes for anyone to approach our table, in a restaurant that isn't even large. Meanwhile, the host and chef stood by the door watching the game, seemingly unbothered by the one employee trying to manage a full room. We eventually asked the host if we should just order at the bar since we'd been waiting so long. Our server finally came over, was warm and kind, and got our order out quickly, but every interaction after that felt rushed because all the pressure of the room was on them alone. We never received anything "special" like we were told we would, which honestly would've been fine either way, but overall the night had this feeling of carelessness in the experience. We ate, paid, and left not long after. Honestly this isn't a knock on the laid back energy of the place, we loved that part. It's more that for a restaurant this highly rated and this pricey, we wanted the experience to feel like it matched the price point, especially on a night we'd specifically saved up for. That's on us too for not checking out the vibe beforehand instead of building a big occasion around it. We just don't get to treat ourselves to places like this often, so we were really excited to experience the food and atmosphere everyone raves about, and it didn't quite land the way we hoped. Anyways, giving this four stars because obviously the food was great, and our server was clearly overwhelmed, not careless, so I have high hopes they'd shine on a different night. Just something to keep in mind if you're planning a specifically special occasion here to maybe rethink it and choose this for a fun Friday with friends instead.

Everything about our experience was A1 starting with the service from Luca who was the right mix of conversational, knowledgeable about the menu and drinks to the most important attentive.

The tables and chairs looked custom and fit the space perfectly. Everything we ate was AMAZING!

Walking in you head to the lovely display of pastries and order over the counter. I do love their tables/booths. Makes you feel comfortable and elevated at the same time. For coffee, I ordered the cafe con leche which is made with powdered milk. I misheard and thought they said evaporated milk. Not my cup of Joe. Their drip on the other hand was good. For food, I ordered the cachapa. First time was with shredded chicken and it was not good. It was tough and a little bit cold. The second time around, I ordered it sans protein and it was lovely, flaky, and beautiful with the cheese and sauce me. The Pan Jamón, bread itself was a good texture but I felt the olive and raisins weren't in harmony with the piece. The pistachio croissant was a bit over the top. The croissant was nice and flaky but I had to take out the filling. Overall love the customer service, the decor. Still lots on the menu to try so willing to give it another chance!
