I love this place. Petite Crevette's owner/head chef took me here for brunch after telling me that it's his favorite lunch spot in the waterfront area. I assumed it was mostly a Mexican place but, no, they also make a perfect eggs benedict. The biggest surprise was when my friend ordered a plate of wings. I don't even like wings and these were great. Lots of meat, just the right spice. There's a very nice garden/patio in back too. Service was quick and attentive. read more

Cute mexican diner in the area! Came here for a quick lunch and got their breakfast burritos which were pretty good. Pro-tip: sit outside in their beautiful patio! read more

I absolutely love this place! It is a little expensive but it's worth it... I love the burgers! read more

Expensive beyond belief. $22 per o person for one breakfast of pancakes, sausage, eggs and toast.

This place is a solid 3, nothing better, nothing worse. There are a few reasons for this, but mostly it's the inconsistency of the food. There are times where the breakfast order of eggs will be cooked just right, and the homefries well done and seasoned just right, then there are times the eggs will be overcooked and the potatoes unseasoned. As i've been coming here for years now, i tend to the get the same two items that 'tend' to be consistent. The burger, usually cooked as ordered, nice portion size, it's just a classic burger diner, the issue here is with the fries. The fries are never consistent even if you ask for them well done as a result of getting cold/soggy fries. The other consistent (and good) menu item is the chicken cutlet wrap, this is just right, always. The wrapping job is sometimes a disaster, but, nothing a simple tuck or fold cant fix. Their employees are generally quite nice and attentive, except for one who I do not think works there anymore as I had an ordering issue one time, and instead of admitting the wrong item came out and fixing it (wouldnt have been difficult), they said i ordered incorrectly, and charged me for a new dish, and left the old one on there. Will I keep coming here, yes, is it the best, no, but it's a decent diner in the area. read more

Local, family style diner. Had a nice meal there and kids were happy with their pancakes. The menu has a lot of options, including vegetarian. read more

The classic New York diner, with the customary mile-long menu further lengthened by the addition of Mexican dishes as well. What's not to like? read more

We order takeout from this diner often. The food is very good and they specialize in Mexican items but have all the regular diner food as well. We have ordered breakfast lunch and dinner and are never disappointed. We love the pancakes, grilled chicken and the burgers. read more

This is a good diner with an extensive menu. They're great for a late breakfast at lunch. Or stay in and order delivery. I'm wondering if they have a new cook though. The last two times I had the breakfast sandwich delivered, the bacon was raw. I took it off the sandwich and cooked it in the microwave. The cheeseburger deluxe is a favorite. You can choose regular fries, sweet potato fries or waffle fries. They have the best sweet potato fries of any diner in the area, as long as your taste buds are in sync with mine. Portions are plentiful. Order a meal, rather than a sandwich or burger, and you'll always have great leftovers. The ease of street parking is dependent on the time and day of the week. I've found it to be more difficult during business hours. Walk in the door and you'll always receive a friendly greeting from what I assume to be the owner, who is stationed behind the bar. The delivery person is not quite as personable, especially if you've made him get out in torrential rain. Once it was hard to tell if there was actually a person underneath that helmet & garb. Now that I'm thinking of it, maybe I'll have a Mex Carroll's burger delivered tonight. It's raining, which calls for an extra large tip. read more

So food gets delivered, I realized I didn't have enough cash to tip delivery guy so I decided to pay with debit card OTP. I was told that with their updated system they cannot receive card payments OTP so I have to come in to pay. NO FOOD FOR ME ,NO TIP FOR DELIVERY GUY, AND WASTED OMELETT. It's not the first incident with them so that was respectfully my last time ordering. Due to covid there should be no reason I can't purchase anything with my debit/credit (especially takeout thats being delivered) . read more

Ordered lunch from here, came to Yelp first but saw they had a bunch of flagged reviews lol ok well this is a real one. Got a Mushroom burger with Swiss deluxe and was very happy with it. The burger itse;lf was not a pre formed frozen patty but good,fresh ground beef. Cooked exactly how I asked (medium rare) so that the juices soaked the bun. (hungry yet?) the mushrooms were plentiful and seasoned well. The fries were good,crisp diner fries. They also have a lot of Mexican specialties and my friend got the chicken quesadilla and was very happy and her son got Chicken fingers and a picky eater cleaned his plate. read more

Mex Carrolls Diner - Chicken Pozole - Diners Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

When you're in Red Hook and are craving a diner there aren't many options. This is the place to head to. When I went during a lazy Sunday afternoon, it was clear the majority of their customers were Seamless orders. The staff here though were very friendly and despite churning out order after order for delivery, were very timely with getting our food to us. The Mex Carrroll's poached eggs dish was your classic salmon eggs benedict and was good with a healthy portion of home fries. They always kept my coffee hot throughout and were always at the ready . read more

Best Salad I've had in a while. Each item in the salad offered a delicious taste. Mango salad with broiled shrimp I had never had before. Definitely worth a try. read more

Mex Carrolls Diner - Mango Salad with Broiled Shrimp - Diners Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Best diner in Brooklyn. No competition. All the delish diner delights and the best Mexican dishes in the neighborhood

Great breakfast food, great drinks, great Mexican food, clean, very friendly staff - I love this place ! Only wish they were open late night - ! read more

Great diner food! I order in from here (never been to the actual place itself) sometimes and the food is always good and always delivered quickly. Worth a try if you're into greasy spoons. read more

Went there to get tostados and tacos. The first thing I noticed was the bland chicken. No spices were added and instead the taco was drowning in sauce. The chicken was dry too. It tasted unauthentic and real Mexican food has a lot more flavor. The tostados were even worse, the same chicken and even more bland. I haven't tried the American options, so I can't give it 1 star. Another problem was the price. 10 dollars for 1 taco and a tostado. It's just so unreasonable. If you want real authentic Mexican food in Brooklyn avoid this place. read more

Breakfast burrito simply amazing. The coffee like the atmosphere are both perfect. I highly recommend you eat here. read more

Mex Carrolls Diner - Diners Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Great neighborhood diner. Perfect kids menu. Nice people. Clean place. Friendly family atmosphere.

Breakfast was expensive, flavorless and disgusting. Sausage was dried out and past expiration, toast was stale and old. The home fries tasted like a dirty frying pan. read more

Beautiful food. Fresh apple salad with walnuts cranberries dark leafy lettuce and everything you could imagine. Of course the chicken quesadilla didn't hurt either. They also brought a set of tostadas (mmm) baked potato with vegetables and cheese and a very generous helping of fruit and cottage cheese. Delivery is always on point (the guy is a sweetheart) which is a big help to people during the week. This is the kind of place that takes care of New York. There really is something for everyone here, and REAL food. What a fantastic find. read more

By far the worst service I have ever encountered. Do yourself a favor if you're going to have breakfast or lunch head to the Fairway a few blocks about a mile down. Where food and service is much better than this place for less cost. Do yourself a favor and don't bother coming to this place. read more

Step in Mex Carroll's Diner for breakfast because I was early for a appointment nearby. They had some taste options on the menu, I went with the Mex Carroll sandwich. It had scrambled eggs, avocado, cheddar cheese with chipotle sauce on a large English muffin. It was delicious, coffee was good too! I see there pretty popular in the neighborhood, looked like they were always busy in the kitchen with delivery orders and seamless orders. They had a lot of locals and even the neighborhood police having breakfast. read more

Mex Carrolls has everything you expect from a NY diner (huge menu), but is a notch better than most. Not only is the normal diner food excellent (breakfast stuff, etc.), but they have a great selection of Mexican fare that's fresh and delicious. They're also nailing delivery during COVID. Love this place. read more

Words cannot express how much I love eating here. I order from here just about 2xs a week. And every time, they come through with the deliciousness. I love the salads they are always fresh. The chicken is juicy and delicious. The avocado is always perfectly ripe. I also love the sandwiches. You cannot beat these prices. read more

Food is really good! I eat there few times a week and my favorite dish chicken caesar wrap!

Cinco! Delicious food clean chill relaxing atmosphere, wonderful place especially for breakfast!

Food arrived quickly for our delivery but it was pretty cold, which isn't good for an omelet. Bagel "with cream cheese" had a little hard piece of cream cheese on one side. Seriously, it didn't even count. All in all the breakfast had a big dollop of don't care all over it. read more

Mex Carrolls Diner - a hard piece of cream cheese the size of a quarter, doesn't count. Could you care less when you made this? Delivery has its down sides. Sigh - Diners Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Had breakfast here twice while working in Brooklyn. Both meals were excellent. I had a regular eggs benedict one day and one with smoked salmon the next. Perfectly executed. I forgot exactly what everyone else had but their meals were equally as good. The staff was pleasant and efficient. There is a wonderful outside courtyard. Very comfortable place, not pretensious. This was my second trip to the area. Will definitely eat here again when in the area. read more

Really enjoyed their breakfast...especially their breakfast burritos, wraps and omelets....also a fan of their burgers and fries - very solid. Well packaged Thank you. read more

I order and dine here quite frequently. The food is always delicious and staff are friendly. The burgers are juicy and flavorful. My favorite is the chipotle. The deluxe always comes with a ton of fries, fresh and hot. read more

This Diner delivers to work. So my friend and I ordered one day, she used Grub Hub. We opted for their 1/2 burgers. The price is a little up there but its the neighborhood and the quantity of food. She got a bacon cheeseburger and mines was a bacon burger. Delivery is fairly fast, judging by the distance. They apparently delivered 2 BCB instead of my no cheese burger :-( After calling them they rectified the error and they sent out the correct order. Once i received my actual food i was so happy! (Happiness happens when you're Hangry and receive food). The burger was great! Ordered mines well done and it was still juicy, the bacon was crisp and this was thick cut bacon. I had waffles fries and they were great not soggy at all. I'd have to say this place's delivery is great. The food was still hot including the fries...and it was 25 degrees outside this day. This comes with lettuce, tomato, a pickle and a spoonful of coleslaw on the side. Their ingredients were fresh and you can tell once you take your 1st bite. I would like to order their breakfast, maybe pancakes or French toast. My friend and I agreed this will be our Work Burger Joint! read more

Mex Carrolls Diner - Awesome burger!!! Huge! - Diners Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I have never written a restaurant review before. But my experience at Mex Caroll's Diner moved me to. I had chilaquiles there this morning. They were tremendous. Spicy, just a little bit sweet and incredibly tasty. That's not why I'm writing. When I got up to pay, I realized I had forgotten my wallet. I apologized profusely. I offered to leave my cellphone as collateral. But Victor, the owner, told me not to worry. He just smiled and said I could pay whenever. He didn't know the reason I was so spacey. My mom died last week. She loved people who offered small acts of kindness. And she would have loved that moment. Thank you Victor. read more

My husband and I come during the summer and we like to sit outdoor. The outdoor patio is very nice. We like to go on Sundays because it's usually not busy. The service is very good and friendly. The food is very good. Every time I go I try something new and so far I haven't been disappointed. The drinks are delicious too. I love their aguas frescas. My husband loves their burgers but I usually tend to try other items. The gyro was very good and the paninis are too. The sweet potatoes fries are crunchy and surprisingly not too greasy. So far I like this place a lot. read more

Hands down best diner in the neighborhood. I've ordered via seamless and sat down to eat in this place - all experiences have been positive. The food is all super fresh (no frozen burger patties or discolored avocados) and better than any of the diners you'll find on Smith or Clinton st. Staff is really friendly and attentive! Would absolutely recommend this place. read more

I ate here for lunch with my daughter. The diner itself was very tastefully decorated. The food was good and the prices were reasonable. I ordered the western wrap. I loved that they served breakfast all day. The food took awhile and the fries were cold by the time they reached the table so that is why this wasn't 5 stars read more

In my 12 years of living in NYC, I've been to a lot of diners. None are better than Mex Carroll's. The food is better than what you'd consider typical diner fare. Whether you're having the broccoli omelet, the BLT, the pancakes, or something from the authentic "Mexican Corner", you will be impressed. The ingredients are fresh and the waffle fries are bangin'. The staff is very friendly and will recognize you as a "repeat offender" very quickly. The delivery is fine, but do yourself a favor: visit the restaurant itself and sit outside on the beautiful patio. Happy that Mex Carroll's has become a weekly tradition. read more

Won't be ordering from here again. Blue Cheese was very expired, as were the pickles.

These guys are super nice and a welcomed addition to our neighborhood where our restaurant options are limited...especially when you just want good ol'diner food. i have eaten in the restaurant and gotten delivery several times, both have been good experiences. My favorite menu items so far, breakfast burritos with advocado and cheeseburgers...and Grits! read more

We eat-in and order-out from here all the time. Staff, service and food is always consistent and a great value. Best diner in the area.
