    Tostadas
    Elina A.

    The Best Takeout/Delivery Mexican Food in Brooklyn!! I Live FAR way past Kings Plaza and they still delivered to me Beyond Thankful The Most Yummiest Tostadas topped with all the Yummies possible, Fresh & Colorful

    May M.

    I got excited coming in, with the menu including pictures plastered on top of an open kitchen. They have the signature enchiladas with green/red/mole sauce. I quickly ordered a mole enchilada, but by 5:30pm they were out. Not out of the ordinary, some restaurants only make a certain amount everyday. Okay, I check the menu and settled on the veggie burrito. Came out less than $10 with a can of soda. Wow, impressed by the cheap prices, but once I bit into my burrito I understood the price range. The beans had no flavor, I ate half and surrendered. Just couldn't do it and I hate wasting food. On the bright side, my belly is full. I've had their mole before, I would come back for that. Not going to get a burrito here though. They do have other options, they got tortas, flautas, tacos, tostados, sandwiches and even breakfast.

    Abodo de pollo. Chicken was flavorful and good.

    I ordered here from Seamless on a Monday afternoon. The food took about 40 minutes to arrive. Overall, it was just okay. Cemita Carne Enchilada- Bread was crunchy and had a good texture. However, you can't taste anything inside. There was no flavor at all. Adobo de Pollo- The chicken was flavorful and tasty. This is something I would order again. The experience overall was okay. I may consider ordering from here in the future.

    Look at the avocado in my sandwich!!! YUCK

    Disgusting!!! Picked up a torta and when I got home I see the avocados in my food were all rotten. On top of that the chicken they put in the torta was all rubbery. How can a restaurant serve rotten avocados??? I will never order from this place AGAIN!!!!

    This is a neighborhood Mexican spot with inexpensive prices perfect for takeout. However, depending on the dish you will either love or hate this place. All else aside, their servings are highly generous. The good: -Their chicken or beef burritos are filling and extremely delicious. Their secret is in their rice, which is packed with flavor; I can safely say that is the best yellow rice I've had lately. I also like the addition of jalapeños in their burritos. -For $1.25 a pop, cheese and pepper tamale is a good side order. -Breakfast items are hearty and delicious. For a large platter with eggs, home fries, pancakes, AND your choice of meat (go for the bacon), you pay $6, a complete steal. Similarly $3.50 gets you a filling bacon, egg and cheese roll, and trust me it is better than your typical bodega sandwiches. The bad: -Their breaded chicken was extremely dry and tasted a bit rubbery. Seasoning on the breaded chicken was just off. The rice and beans were the only things that salvaged that dish. And the ugly: -Their tacos. Worst tacos I've had in my life. Chorizo and the spicy meat were both so dry, it was hard to distinguish one taco from the other. They clearly have been cooking on the stove for the whole day, and I must have been the first poor customer to decide to order them. Don't get me wrong, the serving portions were still large and you could get full with only 2 tacos ($2.50 each), but you may not enjoy them.

    Nachos

    Honestly this is the worse nachos I've had all my life. It had nothing that the description said. No beans, sour cream, no nothing. The chicken that came with was clearly from another dish and it was gross. The lettuce was old and brown. And my chips was soggy due to the water of the lettuce.

    I'd actually prefer to give this place a 3.5 based on no chips/salsa and take-out vibe, but since the food was pretty good they get graded on a curve. I've had several different tacos, all of which were piled high with meats and chopped cilantro/salsas (no guac) and a side of refried beans, which were watery and bland. I thought they did a good job with the meats, but the sides/options were lacking. That said, I'm sure those living near will find some favorite dishes on this menu, which is more varied than average.

    I'm around kings plaza. There isn't a lot of home cooked restaurants around. I don't do these kinds of thing (order food on apps) I decided to take a chance. I am deff happy. Order Torta de milanesa chicken and beef. * the bread was not soggy. It felt like heaving wen I took the 1st bite. And I was on cloud 9 for the rest of the way. *tacos bistec. Good amount of meat. Well seasoned. Regular size tortilla. (Not ur small 1s).got 3. Salsa was good on point with the spice. I'm extremely glad I ordered extra sandwiches for my husband. Deff Gona b ordering from here.

Everyone that works there is super attentive and for how busy they are they always make sure to check up on your table. Their tacos are extremely delicious, they don't hold back with make sure each taco is full of any kind of meat that you get! Full of flavor and just looking at them reminds you why they're the best. Some other notable things that you should get is the quesadillas and the nachos they have. I'll have to keep coming back to try other things. Great place for sporting events as well as I was here with a group to watch Brazil vs Morocco and stayed to watch the Knicks win right after and become champions!

This neighborhood gem offers an industrialized minimalist form of decor with pops of color and art. Cozy but roomy, the bar area had mostly 2 seater tables and a few with high chairs. We recently went for a birthday brunch. Restaurant Week was still in effect but we decided to choose from the regular brunch menu. Place was low key and giving neighborhood vibes. The service was 10 STARS! Our waitress was extremely attentive and kind. We were also checked on by a second staff member who I think may have been a manager but cannot be certain. We started with cocktails and they serve chips and salsa gratis. I had the Jalapeno and Hibiscus Margarita and my friend ordered the Pepper Margarita with Strawberry and Chipotle. Mine was a bit on the sweet side without a hint of tequila. My friend's drink definitely was the better of the two. Not overly sweet and definitely a flavor of tequila was present. We also ordered a guacamole. I must say it was quite small and barely served 2 people. I suggest if more than 2 guests are part of the experience, order more than one. For my entree, I requested a market salad and 2 veggie tacos with a side of birria consume. Salad was very fresh and I am sure was made to order as opposed to premade a week prior and waiting in a fridge to be served. My tacos were average but satisfying. The consume was a bit disappointing as it was more of a water/broth based and not of a typical gravy consistency. It was not exciting. My friend's entree was the highlight of the experience. She had the brisket quesadilla. Never have I seen a quesadilla with a crispy outside such as this. A culinary masterpiece indeed. She consumed it all and not one complaint afterward. Delish. We did receive a complimentary Churro plate for the birthday celebration. They were drizzled with caramel and berries. Served warm, they were a dream for the palate. I did use the bathroom which was a single stall. It was clean enough but not well lit. The biggest downfall of my experience was the temperature of the restaurant. I understand it is summer, however, there was no A/C and the inside was extremely hot. I sweated through my entire experience. Even the bathroom felt like 100 degrees. We did not complain but our waitress noticed and brough a fan out to circulate the air. They do have ceiling fans but honestly I did not feel them. The management/owner should consider more temperature control methods during the hotter months as it was quite uncomfortable. To sum it up, I thought this experience was mostly positive and would patronize it again.

Most of all, what I really appreciated with every bite is that I wanted more and that it was so unique compared to anything else that I had ever tried. I thought the tasting menu was a really good deal, but you should also consider booking just a la carte because everything was so solid. You can tell when the chips served alongside the guacamole are so delicious and so unique that the rest of the meal is going to be incredible. I will say that it did seem slightly understaffed. Our waiters did the best they could, but dinner took longer than expected. It was still a great experience for both those on dates and those there with friends!

I loved all the sauces that they give to each table that I couldn't decide which one I liked more. The drinks were very good as well. We got the deconstructed margarita and I really enjoyed it as well as the pina colada cocktail. Service was a bit on the slower side but to be fair, there weren't many people working the tables. Also one of our dishes got served to the wrong table and then never came :( definitely wanna come back to try the tuna tartare which was the dish that didn't get delivered.
