Fawn G.

I've been a big Gueros fan for years.. in fact the Smith and 9th location was ideal for a Bay Ridgians due to fifteen minute ride on R train. It was my post Atlantic Avenue shopping stop as well. That location had a long bar, cozy feel and great margaritas. The real star was their Shrimp tacos, fried to perfection with a kickin sauce. Unfortunately, COVID ended my perfect taco place. I remembered comparing pictures of Smith and Ninth to this one on Prospect Place. It looked tiny compared to my one and only and pledged my allegiance to the 4th Avenue location. Well folks, that all changed because today after running some errands on Franklin Avenue, I decided today was the day for a taco visit. The inside is small but the service is friendly and very welcoming. There is bar stool seating with countertop and small picnic style tables. There is an enclosed area added as well as outdoor, during COVID. I ordered my shrimp and chicken Tinga taco and my first cup of cafe con leche via Mexican Coke. I started talking to one of the employees as I waited for my food and learned this location has been here 15 years and the cook had been here around 13 years. I also learned they have a Dram Shop on Smith Street that serves burgers, sandwiches, salads, tacos of course and full bar. Now to the good stuff, my tacos! What can I say about the fried shrimp, pickled onion, slaw, cotija, cilantro cream, chipotle mayo wrapped in a flour tortilla??? I'm speechless due to savoring every bite as I write this review. The chicken Tinga taco is lip smacking good; shredded chicken cooked in a tomato sauce with adobo and topped with queso Fresca. Gueros is located between Prospect Place and Franklin Avenue. As I've stated in previous reviews regarding eateries on Franklin, it is becoming a mini food Mecca in Brooklyn. If you haven't, start exploring this wonderful neighborhood. Viva Gueros!

Chips and Queso Chips and Guacamole
Shaun S.

ordered takeout. the tacos were bomb. of the four tacos i tried, the hangar steak and fried shrimp were my favorite. the fried chicken and brisket were just as good. queso is off the charts with the chips.

Chicken Nachos
Shari H.

I've been going to Gueros for years and never wrote a review SMH. 5 stars is for the consistency, flavor and price. I'm a huge fan of the nachos (steak or chicken) and queso!! And then there are the margaritas! Just get them. Also the nachos are big enough to share.

A Very divey-like restaurant in BK with pretty decent tacos. If you're looking for quick service then i'd recommend avoiding the rush which seems to be a little after 5p (esp on a weekday). The inside fits a few people along the windowsill and maybe 1 or 2 tables. If you're party more than 3, i'd recommend sitting outside. If there's one taco that you come here for -- let it be the blackened catfish taco. It won't disappoint.

Steak taco (no beans)
Farrah B.

I'd come across this restaurant a few times when looking for grilled steak and chicken tacos, so of course with taco Tuesday upon us, I sprung for dinner here. When I entered, the music selections was fantastic! It was like being at your abuela's house on a Saturday morning. The cashier was really friendly and help me to decide on which items I should get. You shouldn't come here hungry because you'll end up leaving with everything. I narrowed down my choices to the chicken nachos and a steak taco. I was driving so the temptation had to go away for a Margarita. I was given a table number stand to wait in the indoor seating in the "Golden" room. The food arrived quickly..... sensational. Everyone was raving about the chicken nachos, and they were absolutely delicious. I also ordered a steak taco (86 the beans) and it was quite tasty as well. All the food was a little bit saltier than I'm accustomed to, but an extra glass of water solved that quickly, lol. It was definitely a meal I would repeat. I only made it through half my nachos, so fingers crossed on the reheat!

The best tacos I've ever had in Brooklyn. They offer a wide variety of tacos and all hit the spot! I had the avocado tacos, blackened catfish and fried shrimp. The moment each touched my tastebuds, they went into a collective dance! The fried items were super crispy and flavoured to perfection, while toppings sat fresh. Ps- remember to add their green creamy sauce for extra razzle dazzle!

Question. Steak taco. Fried shrimp taco
Julliett P.

Had take out. Good flavor! Only 1 tortilla but it's kind of staying together. 2 would have been nice

#1 tacos in NYC and it's not even close. The only way I can explain that this place isn't rated higher is because most people in NYC are too used to eating French-Mexican or Italian-Mexican tacos (NO! Herbs de Provence is not a Mexican seasoning). These are the real deal... the only tacos we've found in NYC that taste anything like actual Mexican tacos (more like West Coast style tacos, but close enough). They're pricey, and the service is a little scattered but I'll be damned if we don't come back here next time we want a bit of realness. For a treat try the picadillo and carnitas tacos. And don't sleep on the fried chicken and fried shrimp tacos either. #1 tacos in NYC and it's not even close.

Everyone that works there is super attentive and for how busy they are they always make sure to check up on your table. Their tacos are extremely delicious, they don't hold back with make sure each taco is full of any kind of meat that you get! Full of flavor and just looking at them reminds you why they're the best. Some other notable things that you should get is the quesadillas and the nachos they have. I'll have to keep coming back to try other things. Great place for sporting events as well as I was here with a group to watch Brazil vs Morocco and stayed to watch the Knicks win right after and become champions!

I really enjoyed my experience in this establishment. Definitely was worth the trek from Uptown…read moreManhattan. This neighborhood gem offers an industrialized minimalist form of decor with pops of color and art. Cozy but roomy, the bar area had mostly 2 seater tables and a few with high chairs. We recently went for a birthday brunch. Restaurant Week was still in effect but we decided to choose from the regular brunch menu. Place was low key and giving neighborhood vibes. The service was 10 STARS! Our waitress was extremely attentive and kind. We were also checked on by a second staff member who I think may have been a manager but cannot be certain. We started with cocktails and they serve chips and salsa gratis. I had the Jalapeno and Hibiscus Margarita and my friend ordered the Pepper Margarita with Strawberry and Chipotle. Mine was a bit on the sweet side without a hint of tequila. My friend's drink definitely was the better of the two. Not overly sweet and definitely a flavor of tequila was present. We also ordered a guacamole. I must say it was quite small and barely served 2 people. I suggest if more than 2 guests are part of the experience, order more than one. For my entree, I requested a market salad and 2 veggie tacos with a side of birria consume. Salad was very fresh and I am sure was made to order as opposed to premade a week prior and waiting in a fridge to be served. My tacos were average but satisfying. The consume was a bit disappointing as it was more of a water/broth based and not of a typical gravy consistency. It was not exciting. My friend's entree was the highlight of the experience. She had the brisket quesadilla. Never have I seen a quesadilla with a crispy outside such as this. A culinary masterpiece indeed. She consumed it all and not one complaint afterward. Delish. We did receive a complimentary Churro plate for the birthday celebration. They were drizzled with caramel and berries. Served warm, they were a dream for the palate. I did use the bathroom which was a single stall. It was clean enough but not well lit. The biggest downfall of my experience was the temperature of the restaurant. I understand it is summer, however, there was no A/C and the inside was extremely hot. I sweated through my entire experience. Even the bathroom felt like 100 degrees. We did not complain but our waitress noticed and brough a fan out to circulate the air. They do have ceiling fans but honestly I did not feel them. The management/owner should consider more temperature control methods during the hotter months as it was quite uncomfortable. To sum it up, I thought this experience was mostly positive and would patronize it again.

Very cute, vibe-y little spot, perfect for lunch with amazing drinks!…read more Very cute, festive cultural decor. Great music! Outdoor covered seating available. We started off with a round of drinks. A Mexican Coke, two types of mezcal margaritas that were amazing! The one with the blackberry syrup and thyme was INCREDIBLE! Our table also had a mocktail and it was delish! We started off with some guac and fresh chips. VERY SMALL SERVING. I would skip this dish based on the serving size alone. It wasn't worth it. And it wasn't that great to be so small. We also had a bowl of black bean soup. It was great! My daughter and I shared a plate of salsa verde enchiladas. Chicken. We loved them! The salsa-SO GOOD! The only thing that was spicy was the habanero salsa. But it was overly good! I couldn't help myself! We also each had a taco. And had a shrimp taco that was topped with a cool, crunchy coleslaw. She had a Birria taco. Both were perfect! My husband order a steak torta. He's a man of few words. But he seemed to be happy. My son in law had the molcajete and raved about it. It certainly looked beautiful! Look forward to coming back! Service was amazing! Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, had great recommendations, and was absolutely the sweetest!

Came for cinco de mayo and it was a little hectic outside but the wait wasn't too long…read more They had a little margarita stand that you could order from outside and I thought that was so cool.

Most of all, what I really appreciated with every bite is that I wanted more and that it was so unique compared to anything else that I had ever tried. I thought the tasting menu was a really good deal, but you should also consider booking just a la carte because everything was so solid. You can tell when the chips served alongside the guacamole are so delicious and so unique that the rest of the meal is going to be incredible. I will say that it did seem slightly understaffed. Our waiters did the best they could, but dinner took longer than expected. It was still a great experience for both those on dates and those there with friends!

4.5 stars, 5 for food and 4 for service…read more Food was delish! My favorites were the gem salad elote and the guac. We also got the crispy snapper taco and the duck to share. I loved all the sauces that they give to each table that I couldn't decide which one I liked more. The drinks were very good as well. We got the deconstructed margarita and I really enjoyed it as well as the pina colada cocktail. Service was a bit on the slower side but to be fair, there weren't many people working the tables. Also one of our dishes got served to the wrong table and then never came :( definitely wanna come back to try the tuna tartare which was the dish that didn't get delivered.
