Not great. I took a chance and ordered a plain quesadilla and it was a complete joke. Like worse than something I could make a home. Truly gross and sloppy looking, way too much cheese not even seared or toasted tortilla- like what ??? I feel so confused what did I just buy??? lol read more

My go-to BK burrito spot. Always solid and fast. Girasol is the best (for south slope take out anyway)

Honesty is hard to find a good mexican spot with desserts I search all of NYC for the best mexican bread and Girasol does not disappoint. Bread is made very well and not too sweet, just perfect for the morning person. Food is also great. Highly recommend read more

It was unfortunate I didn't get to snap pictures of the past three times I was there with my father. This is the best Mexican food on 5th Ave. From Union Street (the truck) all the way up to Don Pepe on 39th street. All the restaurants can go to hell. The neighborhood has other spots for "Mexican" food, but this place hits it out the park. The service is great. Even when it busy the efficiency in the kitchen serves it up with the quickness. Breakfast, lunch or late night this spot keeps to tradition. The tortillas are homemade, blue. There's posters on the wall explaining the history. There used to be more tortas and it's been reconstructed to fit more people. Don't trust a Mexican place if the people serving you dont speak Spanish. read more

Disgusting and inedible. Literally chicken tasted foul like it had gone bad or it was pigeon not sure which and it was covered in salt to cover the taste. So upset because last time the food was at least edible this time I wouldn't even feed it to my dog. Way too much salt and weird tasting meat for me! Never ever again. oh and then when I called to tell them they hung up on me twice. read more

i love that they're open 24/7 and always seem to have customers, it's a great sign. i've had the cinnamon buns (great if you can air fry them for a minute), the chocolate chip cookie (pretty solid), mangolada (really watery and probably my least favorite), cannoli (nothing special but not bad), the 3 tacos al pastor for $10 (incredible. so delicious and filling and cheap), and the nachos al pastor (also really good and different than other places). overall, amazing food for even better prices. my new go-to! i'd be curious to try other drinks though to see if the mangolada was just a single fluke read more

The service here is terrible I walked in to order a sandwich the lady took down one item walked away and came back and wrote a few other items that I didn't know what it was and proceed to give me an amount when I corrected her and removed the additional items she added on she told me 11 when the paper menu and the menu on the wall both said a sandwich was 7.50 and a tamales was 1.50 no matter which way you do the math it's $10. When we told her the menu was this price...she took the menu folded the menu in front of us and said it's old menu?!?, why are you not updating your menu both on the wall and on the paper menu... false advertisement much? Hoping their food is better than their service I updated my review after trying their steak chemitas and it's actually really good the avocado the Cuban steak and their sauce goes really well together and honestly I prefer Spanish cheese over American it's less heavy... this place is actually 3.5 but I decided to be nice and round up. I didn't end up getting the cake but apparently one slice is $5 is that a good price? I would come back for the food. read more

Girasol Taquería - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place is AWESOME!!!! I just happened to come across it on grubhub, then i looked at the reviews and I decided to try them out. I am thrilled that I did! Best breakfast we have had in a long time. The baked good are fresh and delicious! The prices are even better! The breakfast taco with chorizo is next level good, with spicy notes from the chorizo. Very generous portion. The egg and cheese sandwich...HUGE! my co-worker could only eat half and loved it! I must confess I took a bite of half she left, it was cheesy and the bread super soft. The sugar donuts are also fresh and pillowy. The pastelito...sooon flavorful and flakey. The ham and cheese croissant is the tastiest buttery deliciousness that I was looking for...also HUGE. The concha...just soft and pillowy and a wonderful treat! I am so happy this morning, I look forward to ordering again! read more

Went for a torta taste expedition to find the best flavorful most stuffed torta ever. As you can see, the sandwich is stuffed with chorizo and avocado. The flavor is great. However, the size is not as big as some of the ones I experienced. Overall, I would come back to try this place again. They also have a varieties of baked goods. The owner is very friendly and kept recommending different food to us read more

Girasol Taquería - Spicy pork torta - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I visited for lunch and was very delighted by their authentic Mexican food. I have been to other Mexican places in the area and this has been the best spot for authentic Mexican food. You get a taste of Mexico in Parkslope. There tacos are made from fresh blue corn tortillas, they have a Molino (corn grinder) on the premises which is used to make the tortillas from scratch. No other place offers such fresh tortillas like Girasol bakery. After indulging there delicious dishes you can treat yourself to freshly baked Mexican sweet bread. They have a variety of pastries and for the most part all of them are delicious. I will definitely be visiting again. read more

Girasol Taquería - Carne asada tacos - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

How someone can mess up a strawberry shake is beyond me. I was so disgusted by the milkshake, felt like they added so much water and there was a mountain of granulated sugar at the bottom of my cup. Huh?? I am so disappointed. The caramel on the flan tasted burnt and left a nasty after taste. The strawberry gelatin had a medicine aftertaste. Everything was terrible. I am so upset I spent $20 on literal crap. They used to be a decent place but now, it's straight up nauseating. read more

This place is the best case scenario of...'You get what you pay for.' Insanely inexpensive Latin American pastries and simple savory fare. Trés Leche cakes in 4/5 varieties, lots of fruity, puff pastry mash-ups and the best assortment of freshly baked pound cake within walking distance. Quesadillas, sopas, tacos, et.al., all made to order and have that homemade appeal. Although fresh baked goodies are brought out all day long, the taste of lard and/or shortening, is unmistakable. Nothing beats butter and butter is better but butter is more bucks. If strictly enforced, sterile, food handling is paramount to you, this may not be your kinda place. However, if you travel to Latin American countries and enjoy food carts and locals selling foods that were prepared in their home kitchen, you will enjoy what's going on here. Cash only/open 24hrs. read more

I use to come here a lot and loved it I'm not sure if the cooking team is new or new management but the food quality did change. I ordered 3 tacos all I can taste is salt and taco bread was so hard no one ate them!!!! We ate the tostadas even though it was very salty the tostada was eatable. The purple taco bread wouldn't rip! The food went to waste:( read more

Per usual another place that has good reviews on yelp but does not deliver the flavor. This place was just meh. I only tried the desserts though, so that is all I am judging here. The dessert was very basic and a few trials should have sufficed to make a decent dessert. They used way too much whip cream which is not really what a bakery place should do!!! I would not recommend the place! read more

24 hour bakery find! Friendly service at 2:30am and made some very hungry ladies happy. I will be back to try their food menu and of course some more sugar donuts read more

If you are drunk or high and is in the South Slope area.... This is your place! I stumbled into Girasol with a few friends after a dinner in Sunset Park. We noticed that this place had fresh baked goodies. We were in the mood for dessert and we saw that they had Tres Leches. A good slice with whipped cream and a cherry costed us.... $3!!! Did I mention that I love Mexican Food and Mexican Bakeries? What makes this place even more great is that they are.... OPEN 24hours!!! Come here anytime and be satisfied! read more

Sooo why not stop and the local 24hour bakery & plus!!! Its open late and the service was super friendly!!! They had a large selection of desserts and pastries. Plus what looked like a full lunch/dinner menu. If i am in the area i will go back and try more from there dessert selection and food menu!!! read more

Craving a Mexican tres leches cake or some other fresh bakery goodies? Look no further than Girasol Bakery! For those of you that have never tried a slice of this piece of heaven -- let your mouth start to water reading this description. A tres leches cake is a light, airy sponge cake soaked with a mixture of three milks: evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream. Yes, you heard me. No matter who invented it, it's absolutely delicious! Did I mentioned it only cost $2.00 for a slice and large share with two people? Grab a couple of spoons and enjoy! Girasol Bakery is my now go to Mexican bakery in the area! read more

We have ordered almost everything off the menu and they never disappoint! Tortas, burritos, tostadas, sopes. Simply delicious. It's like a 20 minute walk for us, but absolutely worth it. Heads up that it's cash only. read more

Food: 3.0/5.0 Service: 2.5/5.0 Value: 3.5/5.0 Decor: 2.0/5.0 Overall: 2.5/5.0 Surprised how high the ratings here are. This is a very basic neighborhood spot serving a collection of standard bakery foods and drinks as well as tortas (:D) and juices. When I showed up in the middle of the afternoon, the display cases were actually fairly empty. An okay place to get some simple food and drinks, but this is very much not your typical well-maintained/decorated/stocked 4* bakery, so visitor beware.. read more

Love their hearty quesadillas and tacos! This please is my neighborhood go to for a quick dinner. :)

This spot is open 24 hrs 7 days a week!! Their bakery are delicious and you can get a slice a cake for $2. Their tacos are very filling and at a great price. They also have their signature hot sauce, which is VERY spicy. read more

White people in Jirasol! I lived down the block and mostly did not see you! So 90%-95% percent of the clientele here was mexican and didn't speak english. I would come here at 1-4 AM three-four times a week and get tortas. Oh the tortas. Tacos good too. I haven't read the reviews yet but my friend from California said the tacos were "pretty good". A rave, Yelp! A rave! But I give it 5 and not maybe 4 (the food is 4, very good but there is better in Sunset Park and other places in Brooklyn/Queens/NYC and I haven't even been to some of those places) because it is 24 hours and everyone who worked the counter there was beautifully nice. Those two reasons are why you walk out of Quarter or new Freddy's or whatever the fuck make a right around 2:30-5 AM and go to Jirasol. I just saw one review talk about a bathroom. There isn't one in Jirasol unless for 2-3 years there was one and the wonderful non english speaking Mexican ladies behind the counter were hiding one. Well this makes me feel most uncertain now. Oh, if you go, the bakery items are mostly ok/good/not great. The tacos/tortas and...I forgot about this! Five stars!. Get the egg sandwiches and combine that with taco/torta/something else they had that is great tasting and I am forgetting it. This review had a few too many exclamation points! I am aware. Now go! Here! Which is Jirasol. In South Slope. Edit-The Pernil Torta!!!! read more

This bakery is open 24 hours and serves up tacos! In this neighborhood, most Mexican delis and bakeries do the same thing! I would skip most of the baked goods. They are not flavorful enough for my taste, but they are cheap if you want to give it a try! Now to the tacos.. definitely get the chicken tacos. They are the best compared to most other taco places. It's flavorful and the tacos are big here. However, they top their tacos with lettuce and tomatoes which I don't like as much compared to onions and cilantro. read more

Looking for a bakery that was open past 9pm on a Sunday and came upon Girasol Bakery. Got a chocolate cake and a cream puff like pastry. Don't know the names exactly because the lady in the bakery didn't know what they were called either. The chocolate cake was dry and and the cream puff like pastry with vanilla filling inside was so so. They make tacos too, but I came there for the pastry which was a disappointment. Maybe the tacos are better..... read more

I read good reviews about the tres leches, so I just had to try it. Maybe the Mexican version is different from the South American version because it did not taste like the tres leches that I know. There was fruit in the cream in the middle and there were nuts on top. There was also a hint of coffee flavor, which made me think of tiramisu. The cake itself was bland. But there was a pool of condensed milk on the bottom of the cake, so surely, it was tres leches? I did not like their version and was very disappointed. read more

Just stopped by this place to grab a couple of tacos because I have been told they are very good. So I place my order 3 Tacos al pastor as I Am waiting for my tacos the lady that took my order is eating a plate of some fried meat with her bare hands not sure what it was but it must have been delicious because she kept sucking on her fingers. Then the lady on the grill passes my tacos to the finger sucking lady who then without washing her hands grabs a hand full of cilantro and a handful of onions and puts it on my tacos. " Miss you just sucked on your fingers and then prepared my food without washing your hands" she replied "no I did not" I told her to have a nice day and then left. Safe to Say I won't be eating here anymore read more

Straight-forward, quick and delicious Mexican food. Their steak burrito and tostadas are always guaranteed to be flavorful. They also have a full bakery, and I never leave without a flan. They renovated and now take cash or card. They're also so nice!! read more

There exists a large range of places that exist somewhere between three and four stars. I'm going to be nice to these guys though, as they have some good stuff going for them. First of all, they're open late. This is important in a neighborhood that doesn't have a lot of late-night eating options. Their tacos are decent in taste. I don't know the name of it, but I've seen a lot of places that use this sort of pre-cooked meat that is put on to the griddle and cooked up. It always tastes decently, but never as good as fresh. But at midnight on a Wednesday, one can only be so picky. The fact that they jam-packed the taco with lettuce and cilantro was nice. The salsa verde was sort of bland, but then they have this orange/red chipotle cream sauce that was amazing. I doused the rest of my taco with it, and life was good. The torta was also pretty decent. Being that it was a bakery, the bread was soft. The rest of the torta was pretty decent. Not overly great, but I'd order it again. Didn't have a chance to try a dessert, as the taco and torta filled me up, but a few people ordered them, and they were scrumptious looking. read more

delicious tortas! a rarity in park slope. tasty mexican bakery items too. open 24 hours and outdoor seating.

Do not go here for baked goods- they are fine, but not fantastic (although they are very, very cheap.) Go for the savory, delicious mexican food. The tacos are fantastic and the tortas are the best in the neighborhood. Our so-cal mexican friend loves this spot, and the husband and I agree- it is the best authentic non-fancy mexican we have had in the city. Sure, there are better places if you want to spend $18 for a plate of mole... but if you want a solid taco for $2.75, this is the place to go. We frequently order enough to easily feed two adults with leftovers for under $15. The caveat is that it is sloowwwwwwwww... so I recommend calling ahead for pickup. Sunday mornings around 11-noon are a busy time so expect longer than normal waits. Regardless, I'd wait twice as long for the deliciousness that is Girasol. read more

AMAZING coffee. Scary men there late at night at the bar-thing. Little creepy. Definitely not an eat-in spot, but they have amazing food. I'm a vegetarian but got drunk, ate a torta cubano that made me want to start eating meat again. The mix of mayo, fresh lettuce and tomato, whatever meat was in it and the bombed out bread made me finish it and then take my boyfriend's half when he went to the bathroom. DELISH. If you ever want a hannah montana cake for your kiddie, this is the place to GO! I'll also probably get my wedding cake there. Just kidding. read more

Food and dirty napkins all over the floor and stools! Seriously, can the employees here even make an attempt to keep it clean? I can't even imagine what the kitchen looks like. (It was completely empty when I was there, so there's really no excuse.) Also, my vegetarian burrito was 95% lettuce, 5% tortilla. Gimme a break. read more
