I love Guerra! The tacos are tasty and this place is a hidden gem on Franklin Ave. my favorite is the fried avocado taco; best one I've ever had! Cons: $5 for a small taco that doesn't have a 'special' twist or toppings/mediocre flavor is a bit steep lol I feel as though at this price customers pay for the LOCATION not the food Gets extremely packed with limited space to wait for your order and at times eat. read more

DO NOT GO HERE !!!! Super unprofessional, security doesn't have any control over the belligerent patrons, just an overall unpleasant experience. We ordered food for pickup while waiting outside of the restaurant because usually it's not a long wait. Long story short we waited well over an hour and a half for 3 tacos a piece and I was just so dissatisfied and disappointed with the service here. It used to be a really nice place to grab a QUICK bite, now it's Club Prospect. I do not wish to patronize this establishment anymore. It was fun while it lasted... read more

I didn't expect this place at all but people kept talking about it so hey why not try it?? It is a pretty cheap place with $3 for a taco and about $6 for a pretty strong margarita...what can be better?! Avocado taco: the fried avocado could have been more crunchy or some crisp to it. It end up tasting like a bunch of slush in a taco. Al Pastor: I hardly tasted any al pastor. I tasted a lot of beans. It was good in concept but it didn't set off any alarms. Fried Chicken: this end up being my favorite. With a mixture of all the greens, guac, cheese with the fried chicken and the hot sauce it was delicious!! You really can't go wrong with fried chicken! The hot sauce is very HOT. The place isn't great as California or Mexico, but its the best tacos I have tasted so far in New York..and let me tell you I've tasted some nasties. Skip Chavelas, and come to Gueros! read more

Tacos are great! The corn tortillas were a bit hard when I got mine. Sauces and flavored were pretty tasty! There was always a line and they defiantly need more table space indoor. $3 beer during happy hour 4:00-7:00 pm! Monday through Friday!! read more

My oh my those margaritas!!!! I came here on a Tuesday night not expecting much. But as soon as I walked in the vibe was flowing! The place is small so you are very close to those eating around you. Luckily the vibe here is so open that everyone talks to everyone! Curious what they are eating? They'll be happy to let you know! One margarita in I realized these puppies were no joke. I couldn't even finish a second one! The tacos were to die for. And the salads even better. You can customize things to your liking with no or little charge. One of the best mexican places I have been to in a very long while. I hope to be a regular at this 'cheers' type restaurant. read more

I long for some terrific nachos. Sturdy. Spectacularly piquant. They leave my fingers messily but gleefully and shamelessly lacquered in an uneven coat of nacreous cheese, along with parts of my face and trousers. Whimpering, I clean this cheese from my fingers with my mouth. One Thursday not too long ago, seeking refuge from a heartless postmeridian rain, I found myself among the cheeses at my local Whole Foods, absently caressing a wheel of egg yolk cheddar as this ribald hallucination danced among my thoughts like a wild dog. I must have been gripping this cheddar with an impressive might, for the cheesemonger interrupted my erotic musings from behind his counter to enquire if I was in need of some assistance. Caught in a moment of rare candor, and somewhat discomfited by the hand print that was now embedded upon the body of his idle congregant, I conceded that, actually, the thought of nachos had overtaken me, and I was unwittingly pining for a mountain of gooey, crenulated bliss. This pathetic admission rendered me instantly ashamed, as it was a marked departure from the important matters I normally strive to quiz my cheesemongers on, such as Verdi, camembert, and so forth, and, likely, exposed me as a flaneur. Panic stricken, I machinated a hasty escape, pointing with some convincing wonderment into the near distance at nothing in particular and skillfully posing the question, "well now, what do you suppose that is over there?" When the brute turned to look, I schemed, I would execute a hasty escape! Ambulating quickly in the direction of the /boulanger/ and depositing this miserable moment into life's garbage bin of perpetual regret. But oh! This clever cheesemonger. He outwitted me, paying no mind to the ethereal object of mystery I had so cleverly conjured, and instead eliciting a Dostoyevskian guffaw that he barely attempted to conceal with his hirsute fist. Arms akimbo, I stood for a moment quite still, reflecting on this myopic encounter, preparing to pivot and once again merge with the torpid bog of platitudinous shoppers. But as I prepared my retreat, this confrontation abided yet another Shakespearean twist, for the cheesemonger, as fate would have it, was also quite the nacho devotee, and had recently dined on a memorable pile at a lively cantina called Gueros that he was eager to endorse. It would be a fortnight or so before I followed through on this recommendation, for there is a soot-stained underside of my carriage that secretly basks in the rabid, thunderous pang of desire as it echoes through my great viscus cavity like the cannon blasts of Stravinsky's timpani. Thus, it was not until this craving had taken a significant toll on my wellbeing that my wanderings brought me finally to Gueros, where I waited patiently in line and placed an order for one portion of their most expensive nachos. The platter, which arrived at my table after not too long, was at once beautiful and unassuming--modest, even. Adorned with juicy morsels of steak, diced tomatoes, some variety of /crema/, and a generous wedge of avocado, which I astutely divided into /petits morceaux/ with the sharp edge of a chip, the provided toppings made no attempt to rival a deluxe or supreme variety of the dish that one might encounter at, say, a pedestrian bar. This, I thought, was fine with me, and I began to eat, immediately taken by the vitality of the chips, which refused to give any ground to the muscular tremble of my ape paw. It wasn't until maybe the fourth or fifth bite that this Cockney flower girl decided to remove her spectacles, let down her hair, and reveal herself to be a far more sophisticated mademoiselle than initial impressions had implied. For it was at this moment that, via the apex of one particularly intrepid /totopo/, I unearthed, stewing in the depths of my paper platter, a lake of steamy, zesty queso. Queso, oh queso. /Je vous lèche du fond de cette boîte en carton/. You see, while a conventionally melted cheese would have coagulated quite immediately upon atmospheric exposure, this mystical elixir maintained a melty consistency throughout my entire dining experience, which, I assure you, was was not at all lengthy, for as each stimulating crepitation set my taste buds athrob, all I could do to keep from spreading my wings and executing a glorious swan dive into this spicy molten treasure was buckle myself onto my stool as if in the throes of some most turbulent air travel and, with a metronome's equability, devour. As the essences and textures of this mellifluous magic coalesced into a harmonious crescendo, my every finger glistened, and I gazed down on my near-empty platter with reckless optimism. My craving had abated. One day, as the clouds do form, it would surely reignite, and my personal /jeux des cités rivales/ would resume. But today, for a lover's shake, I was free to sail down the Rio Grande, alone and at peace on my driftwood skiff of satisfaction, delighting--on nachos. read more

Gueros - Nachos! - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Gueros slaps!! Every taco is delicious. Grilled chicken nachos is a must! The margaritas hit the spot (although they raised the price of the large). read more

Ordered takeout with the bf today we had 6 tacos and the nachos w/brisket. There was a slight mishap with the order, gave us 3 blackened catfish tacos (instead of 2 and 1 fried chicken), 1 al pastor, 1 grilled chicken and 1 picadillo. We both ordered our food based on our personal preferences and yelp reviews.... The al pastor was alright and the bf enjoyed his grilled chicken; however, he was indifferent about the picadillo taco. We both were not fans of the catfish, it was fishy tasting in a not so pleasant kinda way. I'll admit it could have been an off day or we both aren't huge catfish eaters. The nachos were alright as well - the brisket tasted great & had a half of an avocado in it. But if you are doing pickup or delivery the cheese will make soggy chips. Overall, I think if we do visit again, we might play it safe with the al pastor and chicken tacos and try the margaritas. Honestly, I wouldn't consider this as a go to taco spot. read more

Gueros is so so good, but maybe not an authentic Mexican taco place that you have conjured up in your mind's eye. If we're being picky, it's more on the Tex-Mex side of things, but in my opinion more Mex than Tex. Their tacos are excellent, the nachos are amazing, the margaritas great anytime. I love this place, and will frequent it as long as I live in bk. read more

The service is terrible! The 2 young ladies were rude while taking our order. One of the tacos came out wrong. After 5 min of trying to get their attention because they found the cell phone more important. they basically laughed in our faces when we asked for the order to be corrected. Argued that the taco did not have sour cream, I had to show her and then she just ripped it from my plate with out even apologizing. Typical Mexican food not the best but decent. They've lately raised prices by $2. now I find the food very underwhelming. $10 for guac is an insult. It's safe to say I will not be coming back to this overpriced and rude establishment! Management should do something before these girls ruin this place completely!! read more

Gueros - Nachos!!!!! - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Ordered tacos from here. There were multiple hairs in my al pastor taco. I'll never eat here again.

Best queso in Brooklyn. I love going here on weekday nights for queso and margs with a friend

GOD BLESS GUEROS, I AM INLOVE. recently moved to Crown Heights and this place is the bees knees. I'm a taco girl so that's my advice to you, tacos, try all the tacos. I have enjoyed a fantastic experience with 5/6 different people here, all at different times; all of them love it! I love the queso, and guacamole and chips. I've had the margaritas and would give them a 7/10. But food 11/10. Staff 10/10. Very fast and fresh! Not much more to say besides- you gotta go! read more

The food was just ok. I ordered the shrimp nachos and added chicken. For 2 I paid $40 which is crazy in itself but I was craving nachos so I figured why not. My original place that I normally buy from unfortunately closed. This place is close to my place so off we went. The spot was busy I give them that. The wait for the food was a bit long. I didn't eat all the food nor did my kid. I don't know if I'll be going here again because the food didn't really impress me but I like giving second chances. Maybe I'll try something else and see. read more

Hands down this is the best taco spot I have been to. I absolutely love this place. Sadly I no longer live close to it but I still go out of the way occasionally to stop in. I have never had a bad experience with the service or food. If you're in the neighborhood definitely check out this little hidden gem. read more

Believe it or not I'm the one person in the world that wasn't a fan of tacos (Key word "wasnt") then came along Gueros. I was hooked as soon as I had my 1st 1 and quickly developed a favorite in the brisket with avocado and sour cream(avocado and sour cream extra). It definitely became my goto for tacos. And the margaritas (sm $8 lrg$12) are pretty nice too. Enjoy! read more

Gueros - My favorite brisket tacos with avocado and sour cream! There were 3 but I couldnt help myself ‍ - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

What is wrong with your delivery people? This place seems literally incapable of properly taking, preparing and delivering a meal. The food is great, big fan of that, but every time I order from this place the order gets monumentally screwed up. I'm not talking missed an avocado screwed up, I'm talking took 2 hours to get my food and then only half of it came and it was ice cold on a warm day. I'm talking, call the restaurant to check on your order and it's clear that no one has actually even placed your order for cooking. If by some small chance the managers of this place actually read these reviews, please contact me, I'm honestly curious why this keeps happening. I'm 5 blocks away - send a carrier pigeon next time as I'd expect better results. read more

This is a small 20(?) Person place. We came on a Saturday night and it was packed! Line was up to the door and we had to snipe tables from patrons that are just leaving. There's 2 tables inside, and more outside (doesn't bode well for colder months!) You go to the counter and order, then you get a number and then they call your number. Food arrive as they come. Nachos 5/5 One of the best nachos ever! Add some brisket and you'll be swooning at the tender and juicy meat with the crunch of the chips. Melted cheese could get salty. Tacos 3/5 Blackened catfish was pretty good! At $3-5 a pop for a small taco, it's pricey as you would need 2 to 4 per person. read more

Trash! I came here for a date night with Hubby and the guy at the register took our order and failed to mentioned that our entire order was not in stock. They literally were out of everything we ordered. We tried to compromise and order something else to substitute and then they messed up the substitute order. The customer service was deplorable. Deff would not recommend...I should've went to Gloria's... read more

Gueros - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The food is delicious and prepared very quickly. I love the different taco options. And the fried avocado taco is HIT. Sure the pricing is a bit much for a taco place but not a big surprise giving the stores location. The kids menu is a bit of a joke, If your kid has even a moderate appetite they deserve their own big boy taco. Even though I have yet to try it out I do love the outdoor seating option. Also I do enjoy the option for more traditional Mexican sodas. read more

Delicious tacos for such an affordable price! Two tacos is more than enough for one person to eat. Their fried chicken and mushroom tacos were so delicious with full-bodied flavor and all of the trimmings to complement the taste of the meat and vegetables. And because you order at the counter and pick it up, it's as fast and efficient as you could ever hope for. The place is sparse on seating inside but there's some outdoor seating available. read more

Very overpriced. Tacos are tiny on stale tortilla. The only reason this gets two stars is because the fried avocado taco was decent. The Carnitas were dry AF and at $5 they dont even add crema!? The blackened catfish was inedible, I think the fish had gone bad. The pastor was also dry which is insane and had a funky taste as well. Save your money and go somewhere else. Actually, if you want to spend about the same for better quality, go to nacho macho. read more

Came here on a limb after asking a Uber driver about food places nearby after being dropped off at a friends place. This place is EXPENSIVE. $4.50 for a taco? That is an insane price. Well, I was visiting NY and said what the hell - I'll give it a try. I ordered the blackened catfish, fried avocado and jalapeno, and the fried chicken taco. All of these tacos were good, very tasty. They made it very well. Each bite was juicy, and flavorful. But coming on a very thin single slice of tortilla that can barely hold the taco made it disappointing. I ordered 3 tacos and I was still not filled up. The portion is small and the price is expensive. Cashier was super friendly. Tacos were great. Prices are insane. Place is compact and quite noisy. Based on food solely, 5 stars. Based on overall experience including value, taste, and service, 4 stars. read more

I'm still upset with my fellow Texans-living-in-Brooklyn for not telling me about Gueros! I stumbled upon it with a friend after having a few drinks. First let me say that I lived in Austin, TX for six years. I cannot tell you how many times I've longed for a good breakfast taco or, well, any taco, but I had given up on finding any decent Tex-Mex in NYC. And then I found Gueros. I tried the fish taco and the fried avocado taco. Delicious! And the queso? The bomb! (I know nobody says that anymore. Still.) So I asked if they were affiliated with Austin Gueros at all, and they are! They're owned by the same company. This place is a slice of Austin, Texas in Brooklyn and it's about damn time! Check them out. You won't be sorry you did. read more

I'm not pleased! I walked into this restaurant after grabbing a table outside in the outdoor seating area. Which was still relatively crowded. After ordering food for hubby and I: blackened catfish, brisket, chorizo, and steak taco, a quesadilla, beans and greens, a margarita and a soda ($32) I took my number and my drinks to the table and waited patiently for my food. My beans and greens arrived and I began eating. They were pretty good. Moments later a waitress came outside and began packing up our table while I was in the middle of eating saying they were closing. She took the condiments took my number and then took the table. I told her we weren't finished and she said they were closing. She took my napkins put them on the bench although moments later they went flying onto the floor. Prior to picking Gueros I looked up the hours which said 11:00pm on Yelp; the time was 9:25 although the waitress said they close at 10. We hadn't even received all of our food yet. Afterward, I waited for the rest of my food for over half hour but since I had no table and now no number and there was overcrowding inside it was virtually impossible for me to get my food. I was pissed! I'm not a difficult person to please but honestly I could've gone someplace else or gotten take out. Trying to save my experience my husband waited for a table inside and when we got it our food still didn't arrive until moments after 10 and my order was incorrect a waiter brought out some nachos that I didn't order, which come to find out was the new persons order who had my number. Grr! And finally my food arrived. But they didn't have one of the tacos I wanted-Brisket which I found out after my incomplete order arrived. So I had to replace it with another steak taco to get an even exchange. The food was tasty, which is why I give this place a star. The service however is another question. I don't think it is right to take away tables and chairs while paying customers are still sitting and eating. I should've been allowed to finish my meal without being hastily moved. Although the food is decent I will not waste my money on mistreatment. read more

READ THIS!!!! I thought they had the best nachos around BUT! I was still waiting after two hours for delivery and they were not answering the phone because its so busy, I get that its Saturday, but it gets worse. The delivery man shows up impaired, smelling and making up excuses saying so many people were there. I said I did not want to sign for it because it was over an hour late and wanted him to call the manager and then he starts showing me his broken phone and literally starts whining and crying in a seemingly drunken rampage, saying he fell three times on the way here. He was obviously on something and getting very angry, hitting his phone and yelling. I never raised my voice once and I went and grabbed my boyfriend to come stand with me at the door because he was getting so emotional and throwing his body against the wall, yelling at his phone and saying if it was a woman he'd love it and then kept saying I love you to the phone. Crazy.. It was creepy and disgusting customer service. I finally got through on my own phone to them and they said they will refund me when they get the signed receipt back. Then I tried to be nicer and told him I was sorry for his rough evening and to try to have a good evening but he's still throwing himself against the wall and yelling "nooooooo" because his phone is broken. I feel bad about the phone but seriously!! Is he in first grade throwing a tantrum when it's his job to be the face of this company? In conclusion, beware of the delivery service. The nachos avocado was dark and gone bad the time I opened it. Im afraid to report this man for public intoxication or tell his superiors because he might lose his job and knows where I live. His name sounded like Tappy or something with a T. The end. read more

The tacos are out of this world. More on that below. Let me first address some of the poor reviews that this place has received for their service. Dudes and dudettes: it's a taco shack with some classic Mexican extras (like bombtastic nachos and killer margs). It is nothing more. Do not come here expecting incredible speed and suave waiters. They produce cheap, savory tacos for on-a-budget hipsters who know how to eat. This is a "no soup for you" situation, not Chavella's. Deal with it. Besides, the people who work here are actually very nice. I've spoken to the manager and he's a down to earth guy. The cashiers have all been friendly, even lovely. The service can be a little slow at peak times (weekend mornings/nights, and after work hours), but, uh, doesn't that make sense? They're a small operation producing high quality, affordable, authentic tacos. AND they deliver. Take a seat (or wait for one) and chill. Trust me, those fried avocado jalapeno and hanger steak tacos coming your way are gonna be worth it. I love this place. If you find yourself on Franklin, or live near the neighborhood, shoot over for some cheap, delicious Mexican cuisine. It's a true gem in an up-and-coming part of BK. read more

Spent a decent amount of money on an assortment of tacos. They were meh. I've had better and cheaper in the area. Coulda been because I got them delivered but still. read more

Ooooooohhhhhh, this is the stuff. Seriously. I am a Texas transplant, and have been on a quest for Texas-quality food since I moved up here 5 years ago. I've found some pretty good stuff, but never understood WHY THE HELL NO ONE UP HERE WAS DOING BREAKFAST TACOS. After all, they're a major food group where I come from. And then I went to Guero's. Breakfast tacos! THAT ARE DELICIOUS! And, as of the second time I went there, large! I have to admit that while I love this place, and have since my first visit, I originally thought it was a bit over priced for rather small tacos. But when I went back the second time, the tacos had grown and the prices hadn't. That's what I call awesome. I have only had breakfast tacos here, but I am dying to try the regular tacos as well. I highly recommend the migas tacos and margaritas. I also love the queso, but it makes me feel like such a fat ass that I have to order it sparingly (like once a year). Final note: it often looks really crowded, and like you'll never get a seat, with a line out the door. Don't despair! Not once have we failed to get a seat, either at a table or at the bar, no matter how packed the place was when we walked in. And follow the rules: no grabbing an open seat until AFTER you've ordered (that is a rule I invented, but still). read more

It should not take 45 minutes to get two tacos. Period. End of story. Let me back up. My wife & I love tacos. We joke around that we would probably eat them once a day. And the tacos at Gueros are, for New York at least, really quite good. Far better than the fare served at the entirely overrated Chavellas. But: tacos are not fine dining. They are not slow food. They are the kind of thing you get with a beer on your way to someplace else. They should not take 45 minutes to arrive, they should not be consistently forgotten and misplaced, and you should not get half your order and then never get the other half. The bottom line is: Gueros is a place I have gone to many times, always hoping they will have solved their weird logistical issues, the kind of issues that make ordering for pickup, showing up, and then grabbing a seat if there is one the most surefire way to get what you want in a reasonable amount of time. I'm not the kind of person who trashes a place for a single screw up, or a single incident, or even two or three. The thing is, though, that Gueros is the kind of place where you have a 33% chance of not getting your food on time, or (like today) at all. There will eventually be a shakeout on Franklin Avenue wherein the large number of amateur hour businesses eventually fade away to be replaced be people who actually know what they are doing. Gueros, however, will be around for a long time, because there will always be a horde of hungry Pratt kids who don't mind, or are too drunk to notice, they just waited an hour hour a taco. Too bad. I like the food here. They just don't know what they are doing when it comes to logistics. read more

HOLY MOLEY WOW. Just finished devouring the blackened catfish tacos... from the very first bite I took a double take at the flavors that melded in my boca. these are some tasty tacos!! needless to say, i will order again. and again. and again... until I have no more money in the bank and then I will ask if I can do the dishes for more. i heart tacos. Affordable AND good? Does this exist in this area? Why yes, yes it does. (Add rice to the menu and you have 5 stars from me!) read more

My beau and I shared the steak nachos and I had the fried chicken taco. Everything was delicious (the nachos more than the taco). Only downside is the size of the place. We planned on staying there and eating, but when we got there no tables were available so we had to take our food to go. I live about 20 minutes away so the food was lukewarm by the time I got home. Still yummy though. Next time I'll go really early or really late so I can sit down and eat and try one of the margaritas. read more

The BEST TACOS I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE! This is what I have told all my friends and now my fellow yelpers. Every time I bring someone here they instantly become hooked. This is definitely my favorite Mexican spot in Brooklyn and I have never had a bad experience here. Normally I go for the Steak, Shrimp or Catfish tacos. I can never seem to have just 2. Oh and the margaritas are also the best I have ever had. That says a lot since this is the ONLY place i order margaritas from. They are made with fresh lemons yummmy. I would give this place 10 stars if I could. NO EXAGGERATION! Fair warning, due make sure you grab the empty seats fast as they go pretty quickly. Gueros- Please consider opening other locations :-) read more
