Amazing service and atmosphere! One of my favorite spots in general in Brooklyn! The staff is always so friendly and helpful! They have really cool events as well such as vinyl playing days. Their taco Tuesday and happy hour special is also something you should definitely stop by for! The food is definitely quality as someone who is Latina herself and from CA, and spent a lot of time in Mexico when I was younger. Genuinely recommend this spot! read more

My husband and I discovered La Loncheria while looking for some solid food in the area. While we missed happy hour, we were still super pleased with our meal! We opted for two half tortas and to share some guacamole. Vien A MI- brisket was solid and the crispy cheese really elevated it La Guacamaya - this was our favorite, pork was prepared perfectly and who doesn't love oaxacan cheese? Guacamole was a solid portion at full price, imagine it's even better for happy hour! Service was friendly, and the little crunchies served with the tortas were yummy too! Pro tip- try their house sauces! read more

The name "La Loncheria" does not inspire much confidence for me. I associate loncherias with the workforce daytime eateries across the CBDs of most Mexican cities. For a vegetarian, this would usually mean a very basic torta de queso panela, a sandwich boring enough to feel at home at Pret A Manger. In contrast, Bushwick's "Loncheria" comes alive in the evenings, and reminds me of one of my favorite mezcalerias in GDL, Pare de Sufrir - slightly divey but nonetheless inviting (and of course offering a plentiful variety of mezcals). The food was very good. We shared the costra, which is served with a physics-defying layer of caramelized cheese inside the tortilla, and the tacos de rajas with a delicious assortment of caramelized onion, poblano pepper, and white cheese. read more

If you're craving authentic Mexican food in the heart of Bushwick, this spot delivers every time. The flavors are bold, fresh, and clearly made with care. Drinks are just as impressive--balanced, flavorful, and perfect alongside the food. Prices are refreshingly affordable, making it easy to come back again and again. The vibe is relaxed and casual, with a friendly, welcoming staff who make you feel right at home. Bonus: there's a backyard that's perfect for lingering on nice days. Pro tip: Go on Taco Tuesday. This place is the kind of neighborhood find you almost don't want to share... but it's too good to keep secret. read more

I've been here a few times and had a great meal and drinks. Tonight there was a roach on our table :/ showed the waitress and she apologized but they didn't adjust our bill at all. We then said we were kind of surprised and disappointed about that experience and were wondering if anything could be changed on the bill. She asked her manager and was told no. but did give us shots (no lime). No shade no tea to the waitress! but overall experience was quite tainted and I'm not inclined to return :( read more

Came here for dinner. Super chill casual vibe. You scan QR code and come up to order at the bar. It's Happy Hour from 5-7pm so the Guac was $7. Then we got elote, ceviche tostada and some tacos. Everything was delicious including the salsas. The tacos aren't super loaded so I'd recommend to get other plates too. I love the outdoor seating - it's cute and I can only imagine it during the day when it's sunny. Would love to try more things when I'm in the area! read more

Another great NYC Mezcaleria. One of the most casual mezcalerias that I've been to. Very approachable bar display. There are no bottles blocking each other offering excellent visibility. There online menu has lots of information too in order to help you make a decision. I'd definitely return for mezcal. Before delving into the mezcals, I was intrigued by the happy hour specials. $7 for guacamole and $7 for a michelada. I never had the michelada, so I figured this was a good opportunity. It was interesting to say the least. I'd stick to a margarita next time. Guac and chips were good to get in some bites while contemplating the rest of the menu. We decided to go with the different tacos: the barbacoa, carnitas, and the tuna. Two tacos per each order. Each order was $13, so on the pricey side at $6.50 per taco. Came with cilantro, lime, sauce, and onions. I was surprised that the onions were chopped instead of minced. Made the onions more pronounced. Service was quick and attentive. The bartender who was also the hostess and our waitress was bustling! She was knowledgeable on the mezcals and made a great recommendation. There was one small gender neutral restroom. They have an outdoor backyard. read more

Seriously great place with killer drinks and insanely good food. Came here with a friend and really dug the palomas. Fruity and sweet with a hefty pour of booze. Glad I went with a whole torta, and it was really massive. Ate the PAMBAZO and oh my. That vegan chorizo was AMAZING. The crema fresca and the queso fresco was on point - I was just in heaven the entire time. Service was attentive, even on a Friday night and truly enjoyed my time. I definitely want to come back for the happy hour deals and I want to try more on the mezcal menu. read more

La Loncheria - a plate of food on a table - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Small bar and restaurant in Bushwick with a solid selection of tacos and tortas. The tortas also come in half portions, they are delicious but very filling! Also has a daily happy hour with $5 beers and discounted margaritas until 7pm. The staff are friendly and overall it's pretty good value for money. Little outdoor space in the back seems nice for the summer but a bit cold right now! read more

La Loncheria - The outside seat place!! It's perfect!! - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Great new casual Mexican spot with a focus on tortas and tacos, but everything that comes out of the kitchen is excellent. Definitely get the guacamole to start ($9), which comes with very few but very large chips that are super crispy and nicely seasoned. For something really light and refreshing, start with the Ensalada de Jicama ($8), then move on to the Tuna Tacos ($9 for 2) and the Pambazo-Azo ($6 for half or $11 for a whole). read more

Mind blowing Mexican from the Hecho en Dumbo folks. Hipper than hip, cooler than cool, the metal security door opens to a long bar cum restaurant. The feeling is clandestine and the epitome of cool. Named La Loncheneria means amazing tacos and tortas, but this bad ass spot is so much more. This is serious Mexican food, made to order, small plates style nothing casual about the food. Ate: Creviche Chilitos rellenos with tuna Tuna taco al sarten Mushroom soup Veggies Total;$45 The chilitos rellenos with fresh tuna was unlike anything I've tasted. Everything was delicious and super tasty bordering on spicy in the best possible way. The cerviche comes with large crispy round corn tortillas. There are a few larger plates including a pork shank cooked on a grill- will come back for that. PS I ate here Friday night and I pay for my food! #Faboulos! read more

What a delightful place! As someone who loves mezcal, I couldn't believe the great selection of high-quality mezcals, all 100% artisanal and from different varieties. We paired those mezcals with two orders of tacos: Campechanos, wow! The perfect balance between the three meat varieties, and finally, THE COSTRA, it's a MUST! I won't say more. When you enter the place, it seems like it's just a bar, but they have tables at the back and even a quite large patio in the back part. Highly recommended. read more

Best Micheladas in Brooklyn. Also you HAVE to have their tortas ayyy dios mio Great people working there. Beautiful Mexican prints and lithos on the wall. Love this place. read more

Classic Mexican cantina meets modern luncheonette / diner. Serving casual but sublimely delicious food. Understated but undeniably cool in every aesthetic, from the wall art and custom tiling to the lighting and counter design. With a staff and atmosphere that exemplify what I love about my home borough: eclectic, unpretentious, convivial, artistic, welcoming. Great happy hour and 2-for-1 Monday mezcal specials. Everything I've eaten here falls between delicious and mind-blowingly delicious. Highly recommend: - La Niña Popov lamb-belly torta - Ensalada de la Casa (refreshing salad with butter lettuce and beautiful combination of flavors) - Sartén de Palo tuna tacos - Sopa Tarasca (black bean soup) - Green pozole (this was a special, not regular menu item) read more

La Loncheria - Bar at La Lonchería - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My coworkers and I came in on a Saturday afternoon. There were no other customers. The person was slow in taking our orders to go. No smile, no greeting, no personality. When the food came, he didn't know which was what. The food was good but small portions for the price. The manager/owner, at least thanked us for coming. If only the host/cashier was better trained. read more

Great ambiente and fantastic service. The food is not just spectacular, it is presented in a marvelous way and the cocktail is memorable. It is an amazing experience, 100% worth it. read more

If La Loncheria was an animal, it would be a stable zebra. Get a margarita with some friends

Brisket tortas, homemade guac with homemade chips, street corn oh my! So freakin delicious. Spicy margarita, mezcal margarita... you can't go wrong. These guys have it down and make incredible food. When this social distancing is over, give their small, friendly bar a visit, until then they deliver through caviar on their website! read more

#Fantastic Happy Hour! $5 Margaritas $4 Micheladas in those big Dallas BBQ chalices. #Daily They gave me a little taco that's #complimentary during Happy Hour if you buy a drink. That was #really good. I did get the #Pork Shoulder plate. It had good flavors. But I wish it wasn't a cutlet. I thought it was going to be slow cooked pull apart meat. Or I wish I could order some of the other meats they have as a plate. Like the #Lamb Belly. #I like how the tortillas have some grilled char on it. Everywhere else in the neighborhood, it's #steamed and wet. This makes a big difference. Even though I try not to eat much #carbs. read more

This small unassuming bar packs a punch. A Pazzi Punch, that is. Named after the best bartender I've ever had, this drink cured my hangover in about 10 minutes flat. The spicy cucumber marg reminded me how beautiful life truly is and made me call my mother just to tell her I love her. The tuna tacos made me weep. The costra made my soul feel as if it was made of delicious melty cheese. I want to fill a pool with their homemade guac and eat my way out from the bottom. The last few times I've been, the servers and bartenders were wearing very silly aprons. Doesn't really affect my experience personally but it makes it feel like management is trying too hard to make the place something it's not. read more

La Loncheria - Avacado with crisps! - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Went here with a friend to take advantage of their happy hour on a Monday early evening. We were the first customers through the door around 5:45pm and promptly sat at the bar. We ordered a couple of margaritas and I also enjoyed a burger and a fish taco. The fish taco was a-ok in my opinion, but the burger was a real winner. Everything was priced super reasonably--especially since it was happy hour--and was very tasty (including the drink). The service was friendly and attentive and the food came out quickly. We definitely enjoyed our time here and noticed that they have a great back patio that would be an awesome spot for dinner during the warmer month. This is a spot worth checking out in the neighborhood for a drink, HH bite, or a sit-down dinner. read more

I'm going to start with the Salsa macha of chile ancho. This is a very dark red, with grind and seeds of a salsa. Just looking at it makes me want to awwwwww, man. I know something good is coming on top of my tacos. No, not good, very great. It doesn't have any off flavors. It is a high-medium to strong flavored chile flavor without any heat. It is smooth and thick. It does have a little oil but it is no watered down crap. The Tomatillo salso is lighter but still very good. Shared a bunch of tacos, a couple I forget the name of but all came on a lightly chewy soft grilled tortilla with the meat on the bottom and garnished on top with bits of sliced cabbage, onions and cilantro. With a little liquor later I am happy. The Taco La Costra and Cabeza are the ones I remember the name of. I have to go to my cell video to name them. But all in all good tasting tacos. There was a little bit of a unique and side item that for the second time I have tried: crickets. Those tasted a little like chewing on pills of hollow plastic/parchment paper sheets. Not much meat to crickets. Not bad. They went well with the Salsa macha of chile ancho. read more

Awesome place for food, drinks, and ambiance. Drinks are uniquely made with fresh ingredients and top mezcal.

Great ambiance, great food, great service, great outdoor area. Just great all round.

Small place, nice decor, friendly staff. Food is really good too. I'd be a regular if it weren't for the fact that the prices are ridiculously too expensive for the neighborhood. Especially considering how small the portion sizes are. My verdict? It's cool place that's pricing itself out of being a neighborhood staple. read more

I stopped in here for a quick drink and bite after a recent event at Brooklyn Cider House, and came away really impressed. I had the half-order of the lamb barbacoa torta, and it was incredible. Plenty large for one person to eat as a meal, and a powerful, rich flavor (helped along by the au jus dip). I also had the classic margarita for happy hour -- I wouldn't say it was the best margarita I've had, but for $5 it's hard to complain. All in all, I walked out full for not a whole lot of money, and I'll definitely be back for the food. That torta is outstanding. read more

I had heard of La Loncheria from an interview online and realized that it was quite close to home. So I picked up a friend of mine and headed over to give it a try. To say that the experience was enjoyable is an understatement. Firstly we had gotten parking very quickly and it seemed that parking would not be a problem. The atmosphere of the place was very relaxing and laid back. The restaurant wasn't huge, but comfortable for small groups and it did look as if they may have had a larger area in the back for a bigger group. We had come in the afternoon and not many people were there; however, we were greeted immediately upon walking in by our waitress. I had gotten the La Nina Popov ($11) and my friend had gotten the Ven A Mi ($11). Both tortas were phenomenal. The Popov was cooked perfect and the bit of fat on the lamb made the whole sandwich that much better. The Ven A Mi was also fantastic. Everything tasted so fresh and the brisket was cooked so well. The whole experience was fantastic. As we finished, happy hour had just started so we indulged in a few margaritas which also came with tomato soup. I found that a bit odd but I was not disappointed because the soup was fantastic and the Mezcal Margarita was great. The classic was alright as well but not quite as good as the Mezcal in my opinion. All in all, this place is a must go. The price point is fair and worth every dollar. Whether its lunch, happy hour, or dinner, you won't be disappointed and Im looking forward to coming back for more tortas and to try those tacos. read more

Yelp is a good idea in theory, but most people who take time out of their day to review are the human equivalent of a used Q-tip and shouldn't even be able to rate amateur porn. Ergo, because I'm awesome and have sacrosanct taste, I will offset dumb reviewers: This place has $5 dope ass margs at happy hour. This place also has dope ass $5 guac at happy hour. Most items are original and tasty and reasonably priced. They don't play shitty music. If you're curious what qualifies as shitty, think Sublime or Oasis or U2. Acceptable music is Frank Ocean or 13th Floor Elevators. You can order ceviche here. Ceviche is a dish you can't find in most places. It's also usually done poorly. Here it is yum yum and $10. If you are a harsh critic of this place you're probably really annoying in general. I assume you get burgers without cheese and don't understand the difference between cosmic and existential nihilism. God bless your soul. Nothing matters and we're all going to die. read more

This is a weird one, kids. The place is beautiful, intimate, and despite its narrow size, has a nice crowd and vibe. Service is super-efficient, menus are innovative, which gets huge points for me. But dang, I cannot recommend this place. Like, here I am, recommending it, four stars right up there, maybe go and have a drink, but between two dishes and an app, no flavors were impressive. Not at all. Not one. Were they bad? HELL no, they were fresh ingredients, beautifully plated. It wasn't like it had a big presence tastewise and it wasn't my thing. It was all just...unremarkable in any context. I'm not going to argue with the umpire, but I'm telling you those three pitches were just outside the strike zone. Balls, every one of 'em. It's a big "meh." I'm happy we went! You should go and prove me wrong. I want this place to prosper. In every other regard, La Loncheria should get a heretofore untold six stars. But it's a big city, and I'm not going to eat there twice when there are other prospects. Sorry, man, still really like what you've got going here! Keep doing it. read more

The place is amazing, the food was incredibly good. This place is like being in Ciudad de Mexico in one of those famous spots because of their kitchen, If you'd been there, you know what I'm talking about. Everything from the kitchen was perfect, plus they have a great selection of spirits. From Banderita to Michelada to great cocktails. It was recommended by a friend and next time I visit Brooklyn I'll be there for sure. ***** read more

This place has amazing food! Wonderful pulpo, guac, the barbacoa tacos and raw tuna tacos were to die for. The salsa is unreal and I've never seen a costra on the menu in the USA til today. Lovely and quite authentic. Downside was the drinks were not strong. read more

I went with both the lamb and porchetta. Instead of getting a full sandwich for $13, you can do two halves for $7 each (along with some kettle chips), which is a fantastic concept. I couldn't decide which was better with the well cooked meats to the soft, light crusted buns they use. Definitely add some of the tomatillo (I believe?) sauce on the side. Instead of a Negra Modelo, they Monopolio Negro. Slightly less sweet and malt forward, but still a enjoyable dark lager to pair with the slow and long cooked meats on the sandwiches. read more

Absolutely loved this place! The appetizer and main dishes are phenomenal. Felt like I was in Mexico! I strongly suggest the la costra and the tarito de Marlin. read more

Just ate here last night and all I can say is, Wow! Everything is just so fresh, flavorful and elegant. Elevated Mexican food at non-extortionate prices. What a gem. Service is great too. Our waitress was super attentive and somehow managed to anticipate our needs before we even asked for things! What we had: -ceviche -house salad -guac -lamb belly torta -brisket torta -roast pork shoulder -killer green salsa and peanut mole on the side All were pretty mind-blowing, though the award goes to the pork shoulder. I liked the lamb belly better than the brisket - it is nice and fatty which I love (but my wife isn't so much into that texture, her loss). I don't usually eat bread but had to make an exception for the torta because it was too good. Also had amazing spicy margs for $5 at happy hour. It was supposed to come with some sort of snack which never came - will have to remind them next time! Dessert options were limited to just pear tart, so we just ordered the tres leches ice cream that usually accompanies the tart. Slightly disappointing only because it didn't taste that much like tres leches (and maybe we were just holding them to a higher standard because everything that came before it was perfect). Anyway it was still house-made and was good quality and may just be lighter in flavor to go with the tart. Perhaps with time they will expand their dessert selection here, but even if they don't that won't stop me from coming back here! In short, check this place out - you will not regret it. The happy hour deal on margaritas is pretty great so an early dinner is the way to go IMHO. read more
