    pork carnitas
    Jason M.

    I found myself at Oxomoco for an early dinner and to catch up with my brothers. One of them works in Brooklyn, and since we were off we decided to make the drive out there to meet him. The reviews and pics looked great, so I was looking forward to checking this Michelin-starred establishment out. I really like the aesthetics of Oxomoco. The dining room is a decent size - with an outdoor area immediately upon entry and the main dining room shortly after that. The space is bright with a mostly white color scheme; the skylights bring in a good amount of natural light and the bar provides an attractive focal point. We started with drinks - I went simple and ordered a margarita. It was pretty good but nothing too outstanding. The food is all meant to be shared, arranged in a single section on the menu with the plate size increasing as you continue reading. Our server recommended two to three dishes each - so we decided on 6 total of varying sizes. We ultimately decided on the peekytoe crab tostada, guacamole, scallop and hiramasa aguachile, two tacos: shrimp and arabe, and the pork carintas. Everything was really delicious - it's hard to choose my favorites because the dishes were so strong, but I'll try. The arabe tacos and pork carnitas were my favorites - the meats were tender and paired with a lot of complements to enhance the overall dishes. The aguachile and guac were also standouts - super fresh and the chips served with each were substantial. The shrimp tacos and crab tostada were the weaker dishes IMO, but still better than average. For dessert, we got something that I unfortunately do not remember the name of - but it was layered with a brownie, a thick custard product, and ice cream. Whatever the name, it was delicious and the perfect finisher to our meal. Service was good - everyone was friendly and food came out at a good pace. They also did a great job describing each dish as it was served which really enhanced the experience. Overall, I had a great time at Oxomoco - the food was delicious, the aesthetics were fresh, and the service was on point. Well worth the trip out to BK - I would definitely return.

    Oxomoco Guacamole
    Mark S.

    The food here was quite good. However, considering the price and the Michelin status, I would have expected it to be much better. The guacamole was really good, however I wish we received more. The wagyu tacos were all right. The meat was a little chewier than I would have liked, but I did think the carnitas plate was the best thing we ordered, Besides the chocolate cake dessert, that was amazing. The service and ambiance were really nice. However, none of the food really impressed me considering the price and Michelin status.

    Caesar salad
    Jon K.

    Oxomoco never disappoints. I've visited a few times for both brunch and dinner and each of my visits have been consistently excellent. The service is friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere is airy, open, simplistic and rustic with great lighting. Theres outdoor seating, though dining indoors brings the outside in with its sun roof that adds to the overall ambiance. The margaritas here are made perfectly, and honestly some of the best I've had in the city. I specifically love the guava one, though all cocktails here are good. The kitchen prefers for the entire order to be placed at once, with an exception for the guacamole so you can start with that. The guac itself is incredible. You mix the cheese in yourself and you're left with an incredible dip with tangy notes from the smoky cherry tomatoes and queso fresco. For this particular visit we ordered the Caesar salad which is a bit deconstructed with large lettuce stalks but also totally delightful. For mains, the soya tuna tostada is not to be skipped, as are the lamb tacos. For the heck of it, we also threw in an order of the steak tacos. The tostada is delicate but delivers a mighty adventure for your taste buds. It's flavors blend together perfectly. You'll leave thinking about it, wishing you had at least one more. Personally the lamb tacos stood out more to me than steak, though you can't go wrong with the menu here. I'd also say throw in an order of the patatas bravas, because when in Mexico Oxomoco is a Brooklyn foodie staple. Run don't walk.

    Guava margarita, último adiós in the background
    Lauren S.

    Oxomoco absolutely deserves the Came here with friends last night and everything from the service to the food was fantastic. I loved the calming, modern decor and the noise level was a bit too high at times, but manageable. I loved every cocktail we tried: guava margarita, Alma de dos tierras, espíritu del otoño, último adiós Every dish we tried was fresh and delicious: The chips with the variety of salsas and heat levels was a fun game of spice roulette. I loved the use of fresh herbs on the scallop aguachile. The tuna tartare tostada was uniquely prepared and had great flavor. Finally, the taco árabe was phenomenal and the perfect end to the meal. I would definitely return for the seasonal menu changes! And shout out to our amazing server Sydney for making it a great experience and patiently answering all of our questions.

    Mushroom Tyaluda, Artichoke Tacos
    Sheena P.

    Came to Oxomoco for my birthday dinner and had a lovely time. The interior is dim and green. Loved that they had plenty of unique vegetarian options. - Mushroom Tlayuda (5/5) - We both loved this so much and considered ordering a second. Packed with tons of flavor and very easy to share. Sadly I think they may have removed this from the menu since - Artichoke Tacos (4.5/5) - These were crispy & flavorful - Pineapple Cocktail (4.5/5) - Didn't catch the name, but the pineapple cocktail I had was refreshing. A fantastic spot for creative Mexican food with plenty of veggie options. Had to plan early to get a reservation on weekend night but was perfect for a special meal. The only con is that it is quite pricey espeically for the portion sizes.

    We ended up going to Oxomoco for date night, and it was the perfect pick! The staff was super friendly, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food hit all the right notes for a summer evening. They recently had a fire in the grill area, so unfortunately some of the slow-cooked dishes weren't available -- but honestly, everything we did try was phenomenal. You can tell the quality and creativity are still top-tier. The standout for us was the tuna tostada -- seriously a must-try! Now we totally get the hype and can't wait to go back when the full menu is available again.

    4.5 On a whim, we decided to see if we can get a table at Oxomoco. Walking in around 7:30 on a Saturday night, we were able to score 2 seats at the bar. The vibe is relaxed, but yet elegant and the staff is just lovely. Looking at the menu, it was smaller and more seafood heavy than we expected. Little did we know at the time, they had a fire recently that affected their cooking ventilation system so they had to pare down the menu because of it. With that said, I was not left wanting for anything. The Margarita was well made, but I wouldn't call it the best I've had. We started off with the guacamole. A largish bowl, served with 4 round fried blue tortillas. Topped with cilantro, cherry tomato compote and queso fresco, the guacamole was super creamy, but warning very spicy. It was delicious, but I did wish it was a bit more mild in the spice area. For our entree, the Conchinita Pibil Platter was perfect for sharing. It is presented as a make your own taco bar. Served with a nice portion of stewed pork, black beans, blue corn tortillas, cherry tomatoes and pickled red onions, chicharons and a habanero salsa. It was all incredible. When I say I have never had pork, so expertly cooked and seasoned, it just melted in your mouth and the flavors were hitting all the marks. Building a taco with all the items offered was just an explosion of flavor and it was amazing. We were still talking about how good it was on our walk back to the car. It'd be hard to go back and not order the dish again, but I'd be excited to see what the full menu has to offer once it's back.

    Guac and salsa

    This is the best food order the fish tacos. The servers are great and knowledgeable on the whole menu

    Nice atmosphere
    Anna K.

    Very nice lounge vibe, modern style of Mexican! It was a Saturday night around 8 o'clock, we were lucky got a table for 4! Nice and smart service, food was good! I recommend to order Cochinita a pibil meal for 3 to even 4 people. And maybe one more of snacks! If you would like to drink more. We had a fun time! Just to consider the high price- fancy enough for just a one potion of tacos for $25. But you can ask to the waiter for the kind advices!

    Strawberry and cream dessert
    Colleen D.

    Food here was excellent. Service was top notch. Our server, Sidney, was very helpful and knowledgeable. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience. The dishes are very flavorful. Only 1 dish was on the spicier side (swordfish tacos), otherwise it was very balanced. The cocktails are also creative and not too sweet. Had to try one of the frozen drinks and it was so refreshing, not sweet. We had the cucumber mint. On our visit, we enjoyed the guacamole, popcorn, swordfish tacos, artichoke tacos, lamb tacos, soft shell crab tacos, aguachile, strawberries and cream, and the chocolate cake. Hard to choose our favorite dishes since we liked everything we ate. I especially enjoyed the soft shelled crab tacos, he the lamb tacos. The strawberry and cream dessert was out of this world.

    Swordfish Tacos
    Lara G.

    The swordfish tacos absolutely made me see why this place has a star. They were incredible -- sweet, spicy, perfect consistency. We also enjoyed the massive frozen drinks and chips/salsa sampler. The tuna tostada was also another stand out, though less unique to this restaurant in particular. It's a little bit of a hike for us to get out to greenpoint but I look forward to coming back!

    Nilima S.

    Have been here twice over the years and absolutely loved it - though I will say a few things have been cycled out of the menu though I imagine the new additions are just as delightful. I would highly recommend the caesar salad as the lettuce is perfectly crunchy, the dressing tart and punchy, and the crumbs on top add just the right texture. The tuna tostada and pollo a las brazas are both great. I've had two different tlayudas - both great though not sure which they have available now. ALSO, the salsas are wicked spicy though a wonderful topping to a the extra crispy totopos. I'll definitely have to come back soon but would highly recommend! Also, the chocolate cake is divine!

    Pleasantly surprised to get a last minute reservation here when our friend was in town. The tacos were the last dish to come out but easily our favorite thing! The frozen margaritas left something to be desired, but loved the flavors and my friend was into it. The staff was really helpful and with the outdoors, there is ample seating these days.

    Ask the Community - Oxomoco

    Do you have dessert?

    Yes! They have a delicious Oaxacan chocolate cake with espresso ice cream! It's so good. I think they also have churros.

    Is the heated patio warm enough during winter?

    For a NY'er yes. For a Dominican (my gf) definitely not.

    Do you need a reservation? Specifically on a week day evening

    I'd recommend it! They're very popular. Especially if you plan to eat around prime time ~6-8

    Are strollers welcome?

    outside seating is great for strollers. very comfortable, have done it several times.

    Is the outdoor seating area covered? Rain is in the forecast for our reservation, should we cancel? Nobody answers the phone or email.

    Yes it's covered!

    I was told that they have Mariachis that play there. Is this true?

    i have never personally witnessed this phenomenon.

    Is tacos only available for dinner?

    Unfortunately yes. But they have some good stuff for lunch. Try the burger.

    Do they serve the burger for dinner?

    I believe just brunch

    No frills taco spot in Greenpoint that is very popular! Expect a line. The tacos are super fresh…read moreand the star of the show is definitely the meat. My favorite was easily the pastor as it was so well balanced. The tacos are self dressed, so you can decide what toppings to put on it. Something to note: the tacos are definitely on the smaller side compared to other places like Los tacos no. 1, so get an extra to account for that.

    Taqueria Ramirez is a popular, authentic Mexico City-style taqueria in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, known…read morefor its tacos like al pastor, suadero, and tripa, often finished with a blowtorch for a crispy texture. Owned by Giovanni Cervantes and Tania Apolinar, the spot stands out for its real flavors, busy small vibe, and unique options like nopales and a rich dipping sauce. The owners opened it in 2021 to fill a gap in NYC's taco scene. I was in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, to pick up an order from the popular fish spot Piscator. I wanted to check out the food scene there and did some research, which led me to Taqueria Ramirez because it's so popular. When we got there, there was a line, but it moved pretty fast. The place has an open kitchen where you can see all the food being made. They offer toppings, but you add them yourself from a table of condiments. I got two Pastor Tacos, a Suadero, Longaniza, and the famous Tripa taco, which is pig intestines. The Pastor tacos had big chunks of meat that were super tasty and flavorful. The Suadero tasted similar to the Pastor, but it was still packed with flavor. I wasn't really a fan of the Longaniza; the flavors didn't do much for me. If you like bold tastes, you might like it. I also didn't love the Tripa -- the texture was off, and it was too soft. They blowtorch the Tripa to make it crispy, but I didn't really get the crunch I expected. Overall, this place makes some really good tacos, and I'd definitely go back to try their Gringa Al Pastor Tacos, which are only available on Tuesdays.
