tacos

If you're tired of the massive lines at the more "famous" taco spots in Manhattan, McOndo Los Tacos on Grand Street is the neighborhood gem you've been looking for. While many newer spots have popped up recently, McOndo has been a staple of the Williamsburg/East Williamsburg border since it opened in 2013, offering a laid-back vibe and some of the most consistent Mexican food in Brooklyn. The Best Tacos: Shrimp Tacos: Often cited as the star of the menu. They are plump, perfectly seasoned, and served with a generous portion of fresh guacamole. Steak (Asada): The meat is well-seasoned and tender, avoiding the "chewy" pitfall many street tacos fall into. Al Pastor: Classic, juicy, and topped with the essential pineapple for that sweet-and-savory balance. Special Mention: Their Steak Nachos are legendary in the neighborhood--don't be surprised if they become your new "death row meal." The Sauces & Heat: McOndo doesn't skimp on the flavor. Their Salsa Verde is bright, tangy, and adds a refreshing lift to the heavier meats. For those who like a challenge, their Red Salsa packs a serious, smoky punch. If you're ordering delivery, they are known for sending plenty of extra sauce containers--a rare and appreciated trait in NYC. Atmosphere: It's a chic, narrow bar/taqueria with a "cool neighborhood" energy. It's perfect for a date or a late-night bite (they are often open until 1:00 AM or later). Drinks: Their Margaritas and Palomas are strong and fresh, making it a great happy hour spot. Outdoor Seating: They have a great sidewalk setup that's perfect for people-watching on Grand Street during the warmer months. Pro Tip: Unlike many "cash-only" old-school spots, they accept credit cards, which makes it an easy choice for a spontaneous dinner.

I came during a Sunday afternoon for the bottomless brunch and I really liked it! We had mimosas, huevos rancheros and chiliquiles and they were all pretty good. The huevos rancheros could have had more seasoning, but I liked it overall! I'm a pescatarian, so I wish the menu said the huevos rancheros came with meat (chorizo), but luckily it was on the side. Overall a positive experience.

Guacamole, chips & salsa

One of my favorite taco spots. I have to drive from all the way Long Island to get good tacos like this because there's nowhere else. I really know that has tacos that taste like this. It isn't that much season but at the same time it taste really good and authentic. I love that they put the guacamole inside of the tacos as well and they always have specials taco Tuesdays has great specials and they have pictures and they give free shots on certain days. Service is good as well even though some servers don't speak full English properly they're still nice and accommodate it's a chill environment and I usually go next-door to new Apollo's as well to bring a drink home.

This was the first restaurant we went to when we got to Williamsburg in Brooklyn. And, it was a good choice. Mcondo Tacos is neat, clean, and bright (at least during the lunch hour). They have a full bar, which we didn't partake of, and a nice menu. We ordered soft drinks, then two of us ordered tacos. One of us had the fish tacos and I had the Cochinitas Pibil. I'd never had that before - it is Carnitas, Orange, cilantro, onions, and habanero pickles. They put a schmear of guacamole on the top of their tacos and roll them up like you see in the pictures. We unwrapped our tacos and they were among the best I've had. The Cochinitas Pibil was spicy - those habanero pickles added heat and flavor. The Carnitas were tender, and the rest of the ingredients blended together to form this wonderful taste. The size of the tacos are also generous. We were prepared with cash in hand after reading some of the other reviews. I don't understand how you can go to a restaurant and give them a poor review when the responsibility is yours to figure out how to pay before you go. I think Mcondo Tacos was an excellent establishment.

Tacos tacos tacos! I tried so many tacos and this place wins for the most avocado in a taco. Never tried a taco with that much avocado so that's a plus! You know you're getting your money's worth. The thing about the taco is that it is kind of on the bland side. It doesn't have much seasoning and enough salt but it is alright for me since they have salsa verde and red chili sauces on the side. They gave me two salsa verde and one red chili. It was enough for two tacos but wish they gave one more hot chilli sauce because I had to use the sauces wisely on my two tacos since I had two salsa verde and 1 hot chili Apart from the tacos, I also ordered salsa chips with guacamole and salsa. The guacamole was fresh and very green. None of it was mushy and brown. The salsa was kind of weird when I opened the lid. It was all water which was unexpected. I didn't realize that it was going to be all water with no tomatoes. It was really water down with little onions. Chips were oily and warmed. Overall this place is good when it comes to the guacamole

Mini nachos and fish taco
Jennifer N.

Idk why it's taken me so long to try this place because its so close to where I live and I love mexican food. I gotta say, this place exceeded my expectations. This has my stamp of approval as someone who was raised in san diego and used to live in mexico for a hot minute. I highly recommend their mini nachos with green salsa!

--*Cash ONLY establishment* - they have an ATM machine inside, which they say has "no fees," and the machine only offers digital receipts, so you have to scan a QR code to get a receipt. I passed on that and just checked my banking app instead.  ---outdoor seating closes at 10pm ---no paper menus (QR code only - normalized since COVID) As for the food: We were served cold rice and beans and tastesless, runny sour cream. Steak fajitas typically come with sour cream and cheese in my experience. Here it costs extra (see receipt). Chips with guac or salsa are typically complimentary. Here, it costs $5.95. Plaintains with tasteless mole sauce (overpriced at almost $10). And then, for mediocre food and service that was not exceptional, there was an 18% gratuity ($13.92) added on, which is ridiculous. Their prices are their prices, but this was not a $98 meal (for two). Upon request, they did remove the gratuity. I wouldn't recommend based on the quality of food. This is coming from someone who ate all the things in Mexico City and Oaxaca, México earlier this year.

Sweet Plantain Taco (VEGAN / VEGETARIAN)
Shurida L.

Our waitress was very sweet. Everything tasted so good. I was a big fan of the sweet plantain taco, the mixture of the sweetness with the avocado was good. My fish bowl was a bigger portion than I thought it would be but had great flavor. I couldn't even finish it. Perfect Mexican spot for a late night run. I also had the espresso martini which was a bit on the sweeter side but I still enjoyed it. I would definitely come back.

Mcondo Tacos was described to me by a local as a low key spot with the best nachos. High praise and I wasn't sure - until I had the most perfectly crafted steak nachos I've ever had. Fully constructed, each chip has its own full range of ingredients on it with melted cheese to tie it all together - they were just beautiful and so delicious. Pairing that with a paloma, it was a great way to start of the meal. The tacos were honestly very great! I got the cunchanita pibil and the chorizo tacos. Bursting with sauce and meat, they were very good and did remind me of LA street tacos. Only drawback was that they were very greasy. It was almost a fountain that spurted out when I ate the chorizo. I would definitely go back for a low key hang or a date as the food was good, they were playing James Bond on the TV which was cool, but the cash only and price point are major knocks against this place.

Barbacoa Burrito
Samira A.

Friendly staff, clean interior and cash only. I got fries and the barbacoa burrito with goat meat. The fries were made fresh and hot. The burrito was band, didn't have any flavor. I couldn't bother to eat it all.

Got an Al Pastor Taco $4.95. So yummy   Highly recommend.
Lei H.

We totally just walked by this place in search of the warriors game. They have a big tv. We basically took it over since there are 10 of us from a wedding. Our wedding party is two blocks away and starting at 6. Came in here to root for the warriors Mango margarita is of the hook. So is the Al pastor taco. Comes with guacamole $4.95. Delicious.

Carnitas Taco

Love this place, great food, great day by day deals, and nice staff. Cash only but worth it.

Elote
Xiomara C.

This restaurant is Amazing! Did I emphasize that enough? We've been going through pretty much hard times with this pandemic but one thing I've never stopped doing was eating! I'm very picky and particular when it comes to Mexican food, especially carnitas. I love mine shredded and soft and this place gets the job done with tons of flavor. I've tried many things here and EVERYTHING is delicious. The chicken flautas are pretty dry but it doesn't lack flavor that's for sure. When you can taste the aromatics in all of the food, you know it's going to be the bomb. My favorite items are the nachos, Elote, anything carnitas and Chimichanga. The salsa verde is also a huge hit. I always get extra. If you're anything like me and don't like too much spice, the salsa verde is perfect and addicting. I'm always ordering delivery through Uber eats and they're always so wonderful and on time even during the snow storm! Remember to tip BIG during inclement weather. This place is well worth it. Happy Customer : )

What time is the kitchen open until?

The place has character for sure! Seating inside or out. I arrived early - around 8 - so it was…read morebusy but mostly to-go orders. I'm sure with a later time, it would be busier. I ordered an avocado bagel on seven grain. It was all delicious. There was lettuce and cucumber that was not listed on the menu, but that's ok. The whole thing had a lemony flavor that normally I don't like, but it went well with the other flavors. The egg was over medium, which they didn't ask me how I wanted, but I'm sure they'd change it if you asked. They were very responsive, polite, and quick.

Cafe Madeline is a fun brunch spot with a cozy atmosphere but it defs can get super busy. If you…read morecan, come early to beat the brunch rush. The setup is a little different from a full-service restaurant. You order at the counter, let the staff know if you're dining in or getting your order to go. If dining in, then find a table and wait for your name to be called. If you're seated farther away, they'll usually bring your food to you. For drinks, it's best to stay near the baristas towards the front of the store since those are typically called out separately. I ordered the Madeline omelette without the jalapeños. It was good overall but it could have used a little more salt. I also tried the matcha latte (which tasted a bit too milky) and I had to add extra sweetener, so I'd probably try a different drink next time. The pastries, especially the apple strudel and Boston cream donut, were both really good. Highly recommend the apple strudel.
