    Loaded chicken burrito
    Jennifer T.

    I order delivery from here all the time. They are super quick and reliable. I love the torta milanesa de pollo, and chicken burrito. Recently I tried the nachos locos w steak. Honestly a banger 10/10.

    Bone i pulled out my mouth from the shredded chicken Flautas!!!
    Ashanti L.

    Ordered 20 mins before closing so i didn't expect the freshest best food. I received exactly what i expected! Ordered 1 Flautas with rice and beans. Flautas was hard and seemed old like they re fried old ones. PLUSSS, i found a BONEEE IN ONE OF THEM!! I almost swallowed a bone! (I was hungry and was eating too quick) thank God i realized it smh. Rice and beans had barely any flavor just like the chicken Flautas.... Food is ok probably would order again just please check your chicken for bones!! No good Also i paid cash and was supposed to receive $8 change was going to tip the delivery guy $5 until he took it upon HIMSELF to only hand me $1 of MYY change ??! Like first don't assume I'm giving you a $7 tip i was going to do $5 but don't take change and hand me only $1 felt that was disrespectful and when i gave him the $5 he stood at my door staring at me CREEPILY! I had to close the door omg. Weird

    Taco de Chorizo ( Mexican Sausage)  a bit spicy  with Nopal.

    After trying different dishes here, I can say yes, is a great place to eat Mexiacan food. The Bandeja Campesina at 15.00 is great if you are feeling very hungry, so much food, I had to take the rest home. The guacamole is excellent, was able to find bits of avocado and onions in it. The tamarind juice, you can skip is too watery, settle for a can of juice. They do have vegetarian meals.

    Chile relleno

    A very homey Mexican restaurant conveniently located next to the R train. Their barbacoa de chivo is really delicious. My husband enjoyed the chile rellenos. Service is warm and welcoming. We will return.

    Some delicious Steak Fajitas

    I ordered 3 cheese tamales and received anything but cheese. They were okay. Wish I would've gotten what I asked for to begin with.

    I actually like their Carne Asada tacos better than Matamoros. I pretty much just go for those. And the Bohemias.

    I didn't like the food there. Better to eat at Tacos el bronco across the street. They have great tacos

    Tostada and quesadillas are really to die for. Good place to stay. They have conversations with you if they like you.

We were told their mole is excellent and our buddy concurred. The fish tacos and guacamole were delightful and paired well with the margarita. Cheers!

Our reservation was for 8:30pm, but we arrived early and Alejandra, the hostess, was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. Even though she was ready to seat us, we decided to hang at the bar until the rest of our party arrived and that was the perfect move. Alkarys behind the bar was top-tier. She recommended the Siempre Reposado, and let me tell you... smooth, clean, dangerously good. If you're into tequila, that's a must. Now let's talk about the food. We ordered the quesadilla, rajas, tamales, tacos, and the queso fundido and every single dish hit. The queso fundido came out bubbling, rich, perfectly melted with that pull you want when you scoop it up. The tamales were moist and packed with flavor, wrapped beautifully and clearly made with care. The rajas had that perfect balance of roasted pepper sweetness and savory depth. The tacos? Authentic, well-seasoned, and layered with flavor, no shortcuts. Even the quesadilla stood out, crispy on the outside with that perfectly melted interior. Everything felt traditional, elevated but still true to its roots. You can taste the authenticity. Service was attentive without being overbearing, the ambiance was super casual and laid back, the kind of Brooklyn spot you pull up to for a real dinner experience, not just a quick bite. Highly recommend this place if you're out and about in Brooklyn. Definitely coming back for the tequila, the queso fundido, and round two of those tacos. I'm gonna try eating at the bar to check out the spot in the front of the house.

AMBIANCE: Walking to the restaurant from the subway, it's located on an unassuming block at the corner of 4th St and Havemeyer in Williamsburg, front of store doesn't particularly stand out. Walking in they've decorated with creative, crafty (in a good way) touches--the multitude of ropes draped from the ceiling add dimension to the ceiling and the bar back wall is composed of wood pieces forming a multi-colored herringbone pattern. Textured glass pendant lights hanging from the ceiling throw mini geometric patterns across the dark walls, and vibrant canvas artworks add pictorial interest along the walls. FOOD: YUM. I can see why this place was jam packed on a Saturday night, and reservations are needed. Strong recommendation for their tasting menu at $58 pp, what a delightful meal! 8 sharing dishes and 3 desserts were perfect for a party of five, and drinks are separate though you can add a cocktail pairing for $47. For each main they provide a serving per person, and the desserts are shared. I came hungry and was so full by the end of the meal--everything was delicious! - grapefruit guacamole w/house-made chips: the grapefruit chunks were "meaty" and surprisingly went really well with the guac, it added a different citrus element than the usual lime. Comes with a small bowl of maybe 6-7 chips and we asked for two chips refills since the chips to guac and salsa ratio was low. - spicy faroe islands' salmon tartar: tasty and I liked the latin flavors and corn, snow peas, a touch of wasabi. Flavors of the sesame-soy-truffle-lemon vin and crema got a little muddled. Relatively more "generic" dish of the evening though I was here for it! Any dish with fresh tender salmon, I can't complain. - blue crab and carrot tostada, generous shredded crab salad on top of freshly crisp blue corn tortilla. Topped with pumpkin seeds, dill, cilantro, and saffron-orange aioli. - three cheese & artichoke 'queso fundido': served in a very hot ceramic pot and super melty and delicious, eaten with the fluffy grilled pita and green apple slices + salsa. One of the top picks of the evening. - roasted bone marrow and chorizo, served as tacos with fresh blue corn tortillas, and added a sprinkle of pickled onions--does that sound amazing? Bc it was AAHMAZING. - spicy chipotle-guajillo shimp 'diablo' (not spicy): served with pumpkin tortillas and three accompaniments on the side--mushroom chile crisp, horseradish crema, celery 'salsa macha". Part 2 to make your own tacos was another hit! Our entire table agreed if they sold the sauce for the shrimp we'd all buy it. - heritage pork osso bucco 'carnitas' with Fall-spiced black mole, sour cherry mostardo, calabrian chile pesto: cue drooling now. This part 3 of the tacos was served on pumpkin tortillas; the meat was practically falling off the bone, tender, juicy and flavorful. - buffalo-style com 'elote: sooo good too! A little messier to eat since it comes drizzled with spicy hot sauce butter, feta, lime aioli, cilantro, though totally worth it! - Desserts: --green tea matcha churros: comes with two little pots of spiced mexican chocolate & passion fruit sauce. Warm, sugary and crisp without being too sweet. --pumpkin spiced-vanilla flan: topped with sour cherries, cocoa nibs & toasted seed 'trail mix", if you love flan you'll love this, so smooth and creamy with a bit of crunch and tang from the cherries. --pistachio tres leches cake with cream cheese frosting, raspberry, using an olive oil cake: we all agreed this was probably the best tres leches we've ever had. The pistachio nuttiness and the creaminess from the milks paired well. SERVICE: Very friendly and attentive service though it was very loud in the restaurant and they had to really shout. There was a delay in the middle of our meal I think bc kitchen was slammed, after the entree we waited about 35 min for our desserts. Considering they limited the seating to 2 hours and about half of our party arrived 20 min late, and accounting for the long wait pre-dessert, they did us solid by extending our table time by about an hour in total. Also great that they brought the first dessert out with a candle for my friend's birthday.

    A trendy spot for modern Mexican eats! Everything was baseline yummy, standouts include Blue Crab…read moreTostada, Shrimp and Scallop Tacos and Tiramisu Tres Leches. Vegetarian options were super great too, and decent selection. We ordered à la carte, but there's a chef's tasting menu for $63 which feels well worth.
