This place rocks! I showed up here belligerently drunk the other night and got 7 tacos. The tacos were some of the best I've ever had in my damn life. I tipped the chef $10 because I had no regard for personal finances at this point and he made me 2 custom tacos (deep fried catfish) they were bomb. 10/10 would eat here again. PS the margs are strong AF. 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

I'm still giving Guerros 5 stars, but I strongly recommend only eating in or take away rather than getting delivery. The two times I have ordered delivery resulted in a long wait time (which, granted, they indicated ahead of time) and cold food. These tacos are best eaten fresh, not after a 45-minute ride around town. Furthermore, we once received a delivery order with the shrimp taco, and it smelled so fishy that we deemed it unsafe to eat. Don't bother with the frustration-- take the walk to order in-person instead. read more

Now Franklin Ave has two options for yummy tacos. Gueros is definitely the go-to for a quick fill and a more relaxed setting. I tried the blacken catfish and the picadillo (ground beef) tacos and both were spot on. I like how it feels like a tucked away taco stand. They also have a great selection of cheap beers (lots of Mexican beers) and a variety of tacos to choose from. They also serve margarita's in two sizes. And they take credit cards--what more could you ask for? read more

AWESOME. Really amazing tacos. I had the fried avocado, fried chicken, and blackened catfish. The avocado and chicken were both fantastic, but it was the catfish that set me over the edge. Cooked and seasoned perfectly, moist with tons of flavor and the right amount of toppings, it was definitely one of the best tacos I've ever had. I also like how Gueros grills their tortillas to be a little crispy, so that one tortilla is substantial enough to keep the taco from falling apart. I'm not a fan of the double layer of tortillas. If Gueros wanted to open another location in Prospect Lefferts Garden, I'd be in heaven. read more

Hallelujah! It's about time we got some legit Mexican in the neighborhood. Now, I know this is Tex-Mex, but it is legit. We decided to take the ankle express through the boons over to Gueros. Clearly, everyone in the neighb also thought it was the right time for some flava cause the place was bustin' at the seams. Luckily, the slow service worked in our benefit, and after a 20min wait, we were able to snag a table just minutes before our food was served. The fried jalapeno & avocado taco is insane. INSANE. The brisket taco is delicious! The nachos come w/ processed cheese instead of melted real cheese, but I'll eat it anytime. The guac is righteous. Margaritas - good. Horchata - good. What else do you need?! Damn good eats and normal prices. Love it. read more

Guero's has 9 quintillion reviews, so I'll just add my two cents: - the fried avocado is truly excellent - the al pastor is not authentic, per se, but delightful and flavorful - the nachos are wonderful if you are all taco-ed out (if such a thing exists) - they do not make burritos (don't ask) - frozen margarita is better than on the rocks - you will wait - it will be worth it read more

When I first heard about the breakfast taco phenomenon from some Austin natives, I knew my stomach would not rest until I had had them. Fortunately, the stars aligned, and a taco joint serving delicious breakfast tacos opened up a couple blocks from my apartment. Keep in mind that Gueros only serves breakfast tacos on Saturdays and Sundays and only until 4. Oh guys. These breakfast tacos. They are as delicious as they are tiny. You'll eat two (at $3 each), and you will want to run it back about two more times. I recommend purchasing as many tacos as you have cash in your wallet. What a way to start your day. read more

I'm not sure if I went to the same restaurant as every other person who reviewed this place, but honestly this was a far cry from the best tacos I have ever had, and as you can see from my other reviews I rarely hate. Lets get the whole location/ambiance talk out of the way first: Seating is limited inside and outside Line here is usually pretty crazy, but moves at a decent pace. If you are staying after ordering, you will get a number and the food will be brought to your table Credit cards are accepted. Food: Fried shrimp - Delicious, crispy with good sauce, was my favorite of all of them Fried Chicken - Just like the fried shrimp this one was also delicious and crispy Pork Shoulder - Dry, Flavorless, had to use a ton of lime and dip it into my beans in order to eat, least favorite of all the items I tried here (all 5 people who ordered this along side me agreed) Steak taco - Steak was chewy, lacked flavor for the most part, nothing memorable Chips with Guac - Standard Chips and Guac, nothing to write home about Beans and Greens - Delicious, smokey, definitely unlike other ones I have had before Overall the food does not justify the prices, commotion and wait here. read more

Mmmmm.... I've been into tacos lately. And the bonus here is that Gueros is in my 'hood. Happy am I. And hungry am I. So let's eat. The roasted vegetable taco. Refried beans, roasted zucchini, corn, red onions, pico de gallo. Exactly what you'd expect with roasted veggies--tasty, tho a little hard to eat, as the ingredients were a little too wet and the tortilla fell apart. Blackened catfish. The catfish was super moist and intensely flavored. There was a nice smokiness and char to it. The pico, lettuce, and crema rounded it out perfectly. My fave of the 3... The fried avocado and jalapeño. The fried avocado wasn't too heavy but perfectly crispy and creamy. The creaminess mellowed out the jalapeño, and the pico, lettuce and crema made it all work. This was totally well-balanced. Overall, the tacos were a little on the small side, but otherwise filling and tasty. I welcome new food options in my neighborhood, as I'm pretty much always hungry. So I'll definitely be back here... it's a given. 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

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

I second the fried avocado and jalapeno tacos, wow wow wow. The roasted veggie taco is pretty good as well, but I wish there were a few more vegetarian taco options. The sides look promising at least. This place would get five stars but there's a problem - they need to work on their delivery packaging. The tacos arrive cold and soggy, wrapped up together veg tacos and meat tacos smushed as one. If they could fix this I'd order it way more often, but for now I'll just recommend that you make the trek out and eat it fresh! read more

Good cheap tacos, though lacking in variety (per Chavelas). However, I do like the fact that each taco is unique - they swap out more than just the protein. Also, there is is a pretty good selection of vegetarian options. Normally this would get three stars, but the big boozy margaritas on the cheap deserves a bonus. read more

Yum, yum! Definitely the best tacos in the neighborhood. The margaritas kicking a powerful punch adds some extra awesomeness. We've honestly not had a taco there that we didn't like, but our fav's are the blackened catfish, the brisket, the al pastor, the fried avocado and jalapeno, and the breakfast tacos (yep, just listed about half of their menu). This place gets really busy, and is super small, so don't go when you're feeling particularly claustrophobic. There's some seating outside, which helps in the warmer weather. Get a couple of tacos and a margarita, split some guacamole, and be totally satisfied. read more

The fried shrimp tacos almost brought me to tears- Tears of joy and pure bliss. Don't expect amazing service and the place itself is pretty small & super casual. Very reasonable prices, tacos range from $3-$4.5 read more

I was in the other day with my Boyfriend. When we arrived at the start of their dinner rush and there weren't any seats available for any new customers. The place is mostly counter service, so people shouldn't even be seated until they've ordered. there were people either saving seats for people or lingering with food trash building up around them. What was most annoying was one guy taking up a table for two. He had multiple devices charging, and his computer out like he was at a Starbucks. When our food arrived we had to squeeze in at the bar between two groups people. one person who was waiting for a friend, and a couple who just got drinks and no food. I didn't really get to enjoy my food. I got the fried chicken and the el pastor, both were pretty good. Though they were eaten in a rush. My boyfriend and I would've bought more food and felt more comfortable if the staff had somewhat managed their seating around them. It seems the restaurant cannot count on the consideration of others to turn over their tables. Or just eliminate your tables in general if you don't want to do table service at all. It'd be easier to turn over space in the restaurant. We left soon after eating to go somewhere else. When we walked past an HOUR LATER, the computer guy was STILL there taking up this table for two. The food is good, so I'll be back. I am just appalled by the experience of eating in here. read more

3.5-4 stars I really do like this place a lot. I like the casual ambiance, the margarita machines spinning by the register, and the taco selection - there are so many! However, I do feel like the wait can be a little too much sometimes and surprisingly, it can be pricey $$$. I think you go in thinking it'll be cheaper than it ends up being. But in terms of food, the tacos are good. The Picadillo is my favorite, and it seems to be a lot of other peoples too, since I find it sold out a lot. If you like tacos, this place is great. Just know you're going to be spending a little more than you'd like for them. Also, avoid during peak hours! The line can get a little insane. read more

A complicated score, for a complicated taco place. Let's be clear about something, food-wise, these tacos rarely disappoint. From the Brisket to the Fried Avocado and Jalapeno tacos, they're pretty freakin' good. Get a margarita or dark Mexican beer, and man, you are totally speaking my language. Chicken tacos could be less dry, but the other stuff makes up for it handily. Ok, now that this is out of the way ... what is up with the lines and the service here? Seriously? It's not even one occasion. I'm not even talking about long waits because of being flustered, they're not efficient, the cashiers for the most part want nothing to do with you after taking your order, and you might just wait 30-40 minutes for 2 tacos that cost you nearly 10 bucks. I mean, they're good tacos, but I feel they're not good enough to command a .50 cents to 1.00 dollar premium over similarly tasty tacos served in the city. If you can't fix the price, fix the service. If you can't fix either of those ... well, you're left with a 2 star review that could easily be a 4. 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

I love the tacos here! I just wish they were BIGGER. Everything is fresh and made to order. Friendly Service. My favorite are the hanger steak and the fried chicken the sauce that they put on the fried chicken has a great kick to it. Each individual taco has the perfect amount of flavor. Goodbye Chavellas, Hello Guerros! read more

I took some friends here a couple weeks ago as I'm very fond of this place. Unfortunately, it wasn't the best first experience for them and now I'm rethinking going there every again myself. One of the servers went to get an ice bag from the back. She proceeded to break the ice on the floor which is normal but the issue came when she put the bag on the serving counter (where they orders go before serving or packaging for take away) and continue to try breaking the ice. I was so shock to see after she accomplished her task, that she never cleaned the counter off or even washed her hands. She when straight back to serving people outside and packing food for delivery/takeout. This was so disappointing as she never even thought about it in anyway. This is the only reason I've given this place 2 stars. Health should come first most of all in a restaurant. It's important that you stress this to your staff especially since you don't know who's a health inspector. Lucky for them my GF wasn't there at the time. CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN!!!!!!!!!! read more

Food is unique in flavor with the exception of the beef taco. Fried Chicken and Shrimp taco are delicious. The Margrita on rocks will have you very satisfied! read more

Tacos are GREAT. But pricy. Seating is a MESS. You get a number on a stand when you order, and then it's like some sort of free-for-all, eyeing people who look like they're maybe finishing up, waiting for someone to stand so you can throw yourself at the table. I don't really know what the answer is unless they wanted to move to a bigger place, as the problem is just popularity. read more

'Tex Mex for the Hipsters Experience' If you want the real Tex Mex experience, don't go to Gueros. The food was good but not so much to rave about. The portions were small but inexpensive. Most of the taco dishes had grated cheese instead of the real thing. If you want real cheese, I suggest you order the Quesadilla. If you decided to take a chance...it's a very is small but cute establishment especially if you want a quick bite or order out. read more

I will keep eating here because I love convenient tacos more than I dislike Guerros. But this place seems like a scam to me. Overprice tacos marketed to hipster creeps. Sometimes the tacos are really good, sometimes they are not. Once the breakfast taco was delicious, once it was bland and under seasoned. Once the avocado taco was good, once it tasted like rotten dirt. Some of the breakfast tacos are on a flour tortilla but that's NOT noted on the menu, which is bullshit if you're allergic to gluten and purposely picked a taco spot with corn tortillas. Come for the tacos, leave with a gluten rash and a stomach ache, feeling extra ripped off, because the tacos are overpriced anyway. It's cool that they have margaritas. read more

This is a review I should have posted a couple of years ago. Because I was born and raised in Texas I am a harsh critic when it comes to any food remotely considered Mexican or Tex-Mex. I still haven't found a go-to Mexican spot in NYC. It's like searching for the Holy Grail. I like Gueros. It is good for Brooklyn. I wish the place was a bit larger but they serve flavorful tacos and are in walking distance of my house. Score! Today I had a bloody Maria while I waited for my order. Great spice although not enough alcohol. The avocado and jalepeno taco is by far my favorite. Today they weren't as good as they normally are. I'm not sure if that means they are falling off or just having an off day. I will still patronize Gueros and just assume they are having an off day. read more

I love the tacos here! I got the avocado + jalapeno, the mushroom, and the breakfast tacos. The fried avocado/jalapeno was my favorite but the mushroom was good too. I like that they have veggie options, it's tasty, and always a fun place to hang out. However, the tacos are *pricey*. They do have happy hour in the evening with $4 beer - great deal! read more

I'm never eating tacos anywhere else in Brooklyn ever again. My mouth is on fire in a good way. My chin is dripping with queso in a good way. My hands are greasy in a good way. Every way is good here. read more

My word! Eating here was love at first bite. A friend put me on to this place a few years ago, and I've been back quite a few times since. This review is long over due! Each experience at Gueros was delicious and filling. The tacos are amazing! My favorite is the fried chicken taco. Yum yum! Now, about those nachos. What have I been eating all my life? I'll admit that since I tasted the nachos-- I'm generally more of a taco person than nachos-- I haven't ordered anything else on my subsequent visits. Back to the nachos. That cheese is simply amazing. Practically heavenly. I've had the shrimp nachos, the steak nachos and the chicken nachos. Each has been delicious. I've taken friends here, family, dates and one of these days I'm sure I'll pop in for a solo eat. The atmosphere it cute. It's pretty small, but I've always found a spot or table in time. The outdoor eating is nice on a warm day. As for the libations, I can't not mention the margaritas. I've had the frozen, the non frozen and the half and half. They are all delicious and let me tell you, potent. After two of these on a lazy Sunday afternoon, the next step is not much and then bed. I'll be back very soon! The nachos. That cheese! read more

Really not pleased with Gueros tonight. Food took incredibly long to come, which is fine if the food comes out well. Things get busy, I respect that. I can wait. Instead, my food came out terrible and missing ingredients. Both of my tacos were missing ingredients that I ended up having to ask for. The waitress even questioned the fact that refries beans should've been on my roasted veggie taco despite it clearly saying they were included on the menu. My friends' orders were also equally as messed up. The guacamole was the worst guacamole I've ever had. Made with unripened avocados and was kinda brown. Half of my party had to wait so long for their food, they gave up and asked for a refund. Yet, the server (who seemed incredibly high) brought them their food anyway! She seemed pretty blazed and didn't seem to be paying attention to anything anyone told her. To top it off, right before we left a cockroach crawled up onto the bench we were sitting on! I don't know what happened to this place. I went before and it was great, but I'm never going back. Also, they kept bringing us the wrong tacos and instead of letting us keep them to compensate for their incompetence, they threw them away. read more

I love the coziness of the place. The tacos are fresh on the grill. Nachos are A 123&4. And those damn margaritas! Get you and half and half, relax and take in the scenery of Franklin Ave with a margarita and shrimp taco. That's what I do when I'm there. read more

Beats the hell out of Oaxaca (who closed THE DAY AFTER I bought two $5 Groupons... very sketchy). Had three tacos: Fried Avacado & Jalapeno: Amazing. Best taco I've had in a long time. Al Pastor: Very good Picadillo: Also good, plus the tortilla had been fried so it was a bit crunchier/had more structural integrity--good because the Al Pastor sprung a leak and emergency cutlery was required to get the job done. The happy hour special of $1 off tacos is a big bonus to me, because I've never acclimated to how much a taco in NY costs versus a taco in Chicago. I'll def be back to try the fried chicken, blackened catfish, brisket, and guac. And, of course, need to have a margarita next time. ALSO: They take cards!! Huge plus in a cash-only neighborhood. read more

The margaritas are really GOOD! The brisket nachos are LOADED with flavor! Service is quick and staff is friendly. The total was $25 for my meal and drink, pretty fair. My buddy ordered chips and queso and were also excellent! This is not a large sit-down restaurant unlike in Texas where everything is 'big'. read more

Gueros - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

THE GOOD Extremely tasty, with friendly and fast-moving staff. Well-stuffed tacos, even tho we got only veggie stuff. The place has a stripped-down vibe, unpretentious. And they stressed verbally, "Tex-Mex food" when they rattled off the list of stuff. Delicious goopy Queso - hot melty cheese dip - that everyone must try! THE BAD A little chaotic, and a little pricey... tacos now accepted as pricey and trendy. THE UGLY* Brought 1.5 of everything. They forgot we paid for 2 of everything. *But they immediately cleared it up, brought the 2nd taco and apologized. I would definitely go back. Walking distance to the Brooklyn Museum. read more

Definitely a gem in Crown Heights. It's often busy because other people think so too, but it's worth it. The food is delicious and the nachos are huge. The margaritas are LEGENDARY and a small is enough to get the job done. There's a bathroom. read more

I've only tried the fried avocado so far, but it was amazing and I'm definitely going back to try everything else. Update: Went there again for brunch. Nachos are really great, but the other tacos were a little sloppy -- I would stick to the fried avocado taco. The Bloody Maria was really spicy, just how I like them...and very generous with the tequila, too. read more

Amazing food. Priced well. Ordered the fried avocado and hanger steak. Delicious! Nachos and Guac is so fresh and crunchy. Can't wait to come back and I don't even live in the area lol read more

Having lived in Texas for a couple of years, NYC has always had us a bit taco-starved, so Gueros has become a staple. We've had a good number of the tacos on the menu, and all are good but some are great. My personal favorites: the brisket (the meat is good but the rajas / pablanos make it) and the fried shrimp, and my husband likes the fried avocado & jalepeno a whole lot. It's a convenient spot and always pretty quick no matter how busy they seem to get, and the service is not elaborate but always professional. The margaritas are also delightful. Less exceptional (I've found) were the chorizo and breakfast tacos, which (other than the migas taco) I find a bit skimpy. I disagree with the reviewer(s) who said they should use more than one tortilla. Maybe there is a difference between the corn and the flour tortillas, but I've found these to be more substantial than most and one is totally enough. Either that or I eat my tacos so fast that I don't give them time to fall apart. The one thing about eating in at Gueros is that the space is small and crowded, and some of the customers don't observe what in my mind is protocol for such places - waiting to claim a seat until you've ordered. Instead, folks divide and conquer and claim seats before they even get close to the counter, so that people who *have* ordered are left kind of standing around looking for a spot. I don't fault the restaurant for that, but I do hope at some point business is good enough to move to a larger space (nearby, please!). Reading the other reviews has made me want to try the nachos, which we haven't gotten around to yet. read more

I've been coming here for about 7 years and It's consistently been my favorite place in the city. Lately though---sitting outside has become unpleasant. The tables are always caked with food-Yes even at 4pm and 11am when the Crown Heights location opens. I understand flys/bugs happen regardless and navigating the occassional crowds here can be annoying , but wiping down the tables every hour or so could really do wonders. Orders come out not without napkins or silverware... again, fine but, as someone who has waitressed for years and dined out for years... these are quick fixes.... I really want Gueros to remain as consistently awesome as it's always been. read more
