Went on a Tuesday to take advantage of "The Bird Man" special which includes a rotisserie chicken, rice and beans, pico de gallo and tortillas for $15. They happened to run out of rotisserie chicken by the time I got there but they offered shredded chicken instead. Got the hefty bag to go and they did not skimp on the shredded chicken. Everything tasted pretty good but did wish the chicken was less dry. Also really appreciated the freshly made tortillas. You can even see the lady making it up front! Overall, while it wasn't the best Cali-Mexican food I ever had, it was definitely worth the bang for the buck as the leftovers lasted a few days. The friendly service here also makes this a solid neighborhood spot.
On a recommendation, I stopped by here for lunch on a weekday. A Brooklyn neighborhood I am vaguely familiar with, a recommendation was welcome, and this is a modest spot on a commercial street. Their lunch deal sounded good, a roast chicken platter with a soft drink for only $9! Order up front as you walk in. I got yellow rice, choice of black or pinto beans, with a bit of salsa, corn chips and tortillas. I also had a lemonade. Seats and tables were on the mezzanine at the back. You get to eat with real utensils. A real deal under single digits!
Incredible lunch special deal has gotten me hooked! For less than $12 dollars during lunch hours Monday-Friday enjoy a full meal that includes a beverage of your choice. The location is perfectly situated in a warm and cozy part of Brooklyn. You'll be delighted to have helpful customer service for those who can be a bit indecisive (like myself). Excited to try many more dishes and come back soon. The cherry on top is that they also have great taste in music
I hear their meat tacos are quite good, however I'm vegetarian and can only rate the food I ate. I had three vegan tacos-- 1 came with no pal, 2 with zucchini. I liked the zucchini better than the nopal, however both had in common that they lacked any kind of texture and were too 'watery'. I was able to pick up and eat the first taco but by the time I got to the other two, the tortillas were completely soaked. I really wanted to the like the place, it's quite charming with fun interior, but those tacos are not something I'd eat again. My friends were raving about the Al pastor (which also looked much better!) so it's probably a good spot if you like meat, but I can't recommend the veggie tacos..
Wowwww, this restaurant was amazing. The flavor and quality was phenomenal. The food is super clean. The corn tortillas is made fresh. The juices had no additives. The customer service was also exceptional, they made sure we were happy and checked up on us a few times!
The tacos here are decent but unfortunately overpriced at $6 each. I got here at 3:00 but wasn't able to order the lunch special. It was pretty empty at the time that I got there.
Amazing place! We got the outrageous california burrito and it was the largest burrito i've ever seen in my life... It was absolutely delicious and I was a bit worried bc I really hate lettuce but I think I enjoyed lettuce for the first time in my life with this massive burrito. There's a self-serve sauce and toppings counter, and service was pretty quick! The place is quite small and was super busy when we went so fair warning that it might be difficult to manage getting a table if you go.
I'll preface this by saying La Taq may be one of my favorite (if not, favorite) Mexican spots in the city. The meat in both our taco and the nachos was delicious, and the cheese blend was on point. Unfortunately, I do have to dock a star because everything was dripping in oil - I'm hoping this was a one-time thing because everything was SO GOOD outside of that. Service was friendly, and their burritos look soooooo good. Would come back to give a burrito a try for sure!!!
La Taq is RIPPING IT UP in Park Slope. The taco/burrito menu is expansive and delicious enough to give you TOUGH decisions to make. Believe all the photos -- the meats are so flavorful and ingredients so fresh, including the hand-rolled tortillas. My tops picks: Rachel's Taco (semi-fried shell!) Carnitas Michoacan DO NOT SLEEP ON THE CARNITAS. It is drippppping with flavor and richness. One of the best carnitases I've ever tasted. The service is outstanding. Do not wait to stop in. Thank goodness for La Taq!
Yummy, slightly pricey burritos. Service is quick (unless you're getting a Chimichanga) and easy. The atmosphere is busy in the front but there is seating in the back and some bar tables outside. The carne asada is delicious and they pack a lot of meat in. Burritos are big and will likely be two meals.
Delicious and humongous burritos with friendly service- I'm not a local but if I lived in the area, I'd be getting food here all the time! My friend and I visited at 11am on a Sunday morning- throughout our meal, we saw many customers come in to pick up burritos/tacos so I can tell it's a popular spot for the locals. To order, just go up to the counter, tell the staff member what you want, and then pay at the end of the counter. You'll pick up your food there, and then can grab a seat. Service was very quick and friendly. When you're done with your meal, make sure to clean up after yourself by dropping off your tray and plates at the designated station. My friend got a variety of tacos and some guacamole and chips. I opted for the Chula Vista Burrito (al pastor w/ beans, rice, grilled pineapple, pineapple Colorado sauce and the La Taq salsa)- this was a huge beast of a burrito, and quickly became a fork and knife situation. I see what they mean about the LA burritos, it's really go big or go home! The burrito itself was fantastic. Meat was juicy and tender, the sweetness of the pineapple blended so well with the savory flavors. Check out the little salsa bar near the cash register!

One of the best burritos I've ever had! La Taq is a neighborhood gem in Brooklyn. Loved the interior, it was dynamic, warm and inviting. The menu has traditional Mexican and Mexican American foods. I got the San Diego burrito without sour cream and I was blown away. The tortilla is fluffy and tender, the fries were crisp and savory, the pico was refreshing and the Oaxaca cheese was tangy and creamy. Paired with a Diet Coke and lime- this was such a satisfying meal after walking around the city all day. The service was fast and friendly as well. If you're in Brooklyn, definitely check La Taq out! YUM! read more
We stopped in this taco spot after being in Prospect Park all day for the Juneteenth event. We got there before the rush so the service was good. I ordered the burrito bowl with fish as my filling with the black beans. It can with 2 of there chips in it as well which was really good. The fish was amazing and the bowl was great. Good size bowl, very filling and I was very hungry. There is a utensil station where you can get forks, knifes, spoons, limes and sauces. Also to go containers if you didn't fish. The location is cute and spacious. There are retro looking tables in the back where you can sit down to eat. read more

Run, don't walk, to La Taq. From the friendly staff to the generous portions and mouthwatering meat, you're guaranteed to leave happily satisfied. The super nachos can be a meal on its own and have the perfect ratio of meat, cheese, beans and toppings.The tacos are stuffed and have awesome flavor in every bite. The salsa bar has 3 different spice leveled salsas, which is a compliment to any dish. This restaurant itself gives homage to LA and you would think you're there with the authentic flavors in every bite. I will dream about these nachos until I'm back in town and can order them again. read more
We arrived close to closing (about an 20 mins) on a Saturday and the staff had no sort of issue with it. They were super nice about letting us stay and eat in (we did not choose to eat inside) and took our order. They were fine with everything on the menu, even the chimichanga that takes some extra time to fry and make. The food was ready within ~15ish mins and was delightful. The service also gave us waters while we were waiting for our food. Overall, really nice staff. The vibes are somewhat retro and very casual with a few tables of 2-4 inside and 2 stand up small tables outside. The food itself was nice and solid. I ordered a Chula Vista burrito and while the flavor was there I did find it a bit dry (could use some sour cream or something). There was a lot of rice and beans and it is stuffing for one person to finish down. The pork was flavorful but after a while it becomes a struggle to keep eating and I probably should have added on sour cream or something else to the burrito. They provide hot, medium, and mild salsa but that wasn't enough. They also provide limes and a few other toppings. Will come back when I'm in the area and give this spot another try. read more
La Taq is a California inspired Mexican restaurant in Park Slope. On my two most recent visits there were lines out the door, so it is certainly a popular spot, but does it live up to the hype? The store itself is fairly simple. In the front is a counter where you can order your food. For most patrons, that is going to be a burrito or tacos, which are prepared immediately in front of you (chimichangas, nachos and a few other items are prepared separately and brought out to you). The decor is inspired by California, and towards the cash register there is a cooler with all sorts of drinks on display (beer, Mexican Coke and Jarritos, etc). Once you have your food, if you are dining in you will notice an upstairs area with seating (which can be rearranged on request to accommodate larger parties). There is also a salsa bar with mild, medium (chipotle) and hot salsas, as well as pickled jalapeño and carrot and lime on offer. The menu is extensive with California-style Mexican food, including tacos, burritos, a chimichanga (very exciting given the relative difficulty of finding them in New York), nachos, quesadillas, and even what they call San Diego fries (fries with guac, salsa and sour cream, with a meat of your choice). As you'd expect, there is a California burrito (burrito with fries inside), and there are a number of choices of meat and not-meat. On my trips I've sampled the chimichanga (very good, though maybe a bit less fried than I had hoped) and the nachos (very good as well). The burritos are not for the peckish, and are easily some of the largest in New York City (observing my fellow diner it looked as though most people opted to attack with a fork and knife rather than attempt to actually pick it up and eat it. All this represents a fairly compelling option for California style Mexican food in Brooklyn, and it certainly outdoes a number of other more generic Mexican spots in the area, though I do not know that I could give this place 5 stars when compared to other Mexican options in Brooklyn. By no means is it an insult, and I will certainly find myself in La Taq again soon. read more

Amazing tacos! Fresh ingredients and great flavor. This is a perfect casual spot for tacos, burritos, and more. Everything was so fresh, we loved the taco shells. The staff was very nice to us. I appreciated the salsa station as well for personalized taco experience. Would love to come back here read more

I ordered the mini burrito with carne asada and pollo and it was delicious! I lived in Santa Monica for 10 years and there is a place called Tacos Por Favor off of Olympic and Pico and totally reminded me of that place ! A taste of California Mexican here in Park Slope! Can't wait to go back! read more

I discovered this gem on Instagram and made the trip from Long Island to Brooklyn the very next day--and it did not disappoint. From the moment you arrive, the air is filled with the irresistible aroma of authentic Mexican herbs and spices. The juicy, flavorful chicken tastes like it's been prepared with care, love, and a deep sense of tradition. The service was top-tier--warm, welcoming, and genuinely positive. That kind of energy matters, especially when it comes to the people preparing your food, and you can feel it here. The pico de gallo and guacamole paired perfectly with the tender chicken--absolutely delicious. And the margaritas? Both flavors were spot on. Everything lived up to what Francisco, the owner, promised--even down to a great conversation about La Taq's humble beginnings and the passion behind it. It's inspiring to see a dream still thriving on a Park Slope block, serving generous portions of high-quality, flavorful food. Gigi with the shades will definitely be back--this place speaks for itself. xoxoxo read more

So great to have this neighborhood favorite back. The flavors are on point and the menu offers plenty of options for fillings. I had the carne asada and the beef was so tender, no. Pulling with your teeth or grizzly bits here. Cal-Mex has a much fresher bite than Tex-Mex and you can see that come to life at their salsa bar. Bueno! read more

I used to visit Park Slope alot back in the days. I have not been to this area in over 13 years. I was hungry and found a Mexican spot a few feet away. I walked in and felt instant Nostalgia. Something about this place felt familiar. Turns out, I used to come to this spot all the time. They just moved next door. The food was as good as I remember it. The service was quick and easy. The flavors popped right out at me. I liked that we were to order our food and dine in. It was very comfortable and the owner came and sat with us. Definitely not waiting another 13 years to come back. Very authentic and impressive Mexican cuisine. read more
