    Shrimp Taco
    Kia W.

    Who doesn't like tacos? This is a great little spot with consistently good food. The Birria tacos are ah-mazing but the birria consome was disappointing. It tasted like lightly seasoned water with extra raw onions. I was expecting a thicker sauce with a hearty flavor. The shrimp taco has a battered fried shrimp that reminds me of tempura. Although it was good, I prefer grilled shrimp. The tamarind agua fresca is very good. The staff is friendly and helpful. The cost is average about $5 or $6 per taco. The portion size is average. I plan to try other menu items next go round.

    Tasty shrimp tacos theyre with jalapeños so amazinf, I love spicy. Their red salsa is also very smokey nd spicy I like it. But i didnt like the green salsa. It either had no tsste or got overpowered by the red one. Burrito rice was bland, needed more seasoning.

    Three Birria Tacos and a Birria Burrito with a Horchata
    Matthew S.

    The comeback of the century, well maybe the week. I was super close to giving this little hole in the wall a two star review, as the birria burrito I ordered offers little to the imagination and little flavor to boot. It is incredibly bland. Then I tried one bite of the birria tacos and thought okay, maybe they have something here. I took another bite. And another. And another. And another. And another... Until I quickly came to realize that I had come to the end and was crying inside that there were no more bites left. All that was left was liquid consomé and remnants of a large horchata. The birria tacos are so good that I give them the ultimate praise. It is hard to find good Mexican, let alone tacos, in New York, but these tacos come through late in the game when you feel you have exhausted all your options. If you can, speak Spanish to the staff. You will be treated better because of it. Comeback complete.

    Juaja Mexican Kitchen is a new family owned restaurant in Flatbush/PLG. They just opened a few months ago. The place itself is big enough to dine in, and the food is fresh and tasty! They haven't started deliveries yet, but will soon based on my convo with the owner. They have a birria taco special on Wednesday's which I was able to take advantage of! Prices are also great! Can't wait to try more of their food options.

    The tacos are just so good! Hot sauce is great too. Not the fastest service but I'm happy to wait because the food is so good.

    Found myself craving Mexican (specifically, Birria) one Friday evening after a long work week…read more Nenes Taqueria hit the spot in every way I wanted. I went on a Friday evening around 9:30pm. It was still fairly busy inside, but it was mostly people grabbing to-go orders. After ordering I snagged a spot at the counter. There's extremely limited seating, so I wouldn't bank on eating at the restaurant when it's busy. Be prepared to take your food to go. I got the Nene's Deluxe, which comes with a taco, a mulita, and an empanada - all with Birria of course. It was all delicious. The mulita was at the bottom of the box and got completely soaked with Birria. It was extremely messy to eat. Get plenty of napkins. I also got a side of fries and nacho cheese, because it was a long week and I deserved it. They had a seasonal strawberry horchata as well. This was okay. I also think I might just not love horchata in general. This meal definitely hit the spot. The Birria and consommé were top notch. I would return in a heartbeat.

    I've been enjoying Nene's for a few years now, as they're exceedingly close to me and deliver on…read moregood birria tacos, consistently. Whenever friends visit my area, I consider this place one of the staples that I'll bring them to. In the summertime, I have even made use out of their limited seating outdoors. Usually, the service is fairly straightforward--you order, get your receipt then move down to the window and wait for your name to be called. Not much pleasantries but they get the job done. However, today I had an experience that left a poor taste in my mouth and honestly will put me off from going back for at least a while. When I went up to order, I asked for "the combo with birria tacos and consome", the cashier confirmed with me if I wanted "just Birria tacos? Or the combo?", I replied, "right, the birria taco combo." I think trying to be overly explicit led to the misunderstanding, because I got my order with only 3 Birria tacos. When I asked about the missing consome, she repeatedly insisted that I said no to the combo. After prolonged back and forth, she asked if I want consome, and when I said yes, she proceeded to ring it up on its own for $4. The thing is, I had already pulled out a dollar to cover it, as it's only a 50 cent difference between the combo and 3 tacos alone. I pointed this out, to which she shoved the consome at me with a look of disgust and told me she didn't want the money. I left the dollar in the tip jar anyway, but I felt uncomfortable from the exchange and also that it held up the delivery drivers and other patrons waiting in line to order.
