    Stopped by here for taco Tuesday at 4pm. It was empty when we arrived but it got busy as the evening went by; both dining in and takeouts. It's not a huge spot but it has good amount of seating and it's not cramped. They also have 2 TVs, which is great because they were showing the soccer game I wanted to watch. Service was good and efficient. We were greeted soon as we walked in and told to sit where we liked. Someone came over shortly with menus and water. Our drinks and food orders came out pretty quickly and we were checked on often. We had the passion fruit margarita OTR and frozen. OTR is definitely better because the flavor was not blended/mixed evenly in the frozen, the flavor was separated on the bottom. We also had the guava and mezcal margaritas OTR. These were better. The mezcal is better in terms of "strong", the others tasted good but you didn't really taste any alcohol. We had the chips and guac to start. A pretty generous serving and the guac was good. We also had the pastor, carnitas, shredded chicken, and steak tacos. The pastor was by far the best. It was soo flavorful and yummy. The chicken and carnitas were ok, they could use a bit more seasoning. I don't eat steak but my friend said it was good.

    Listen, Id you know me you know tacos are my love languages and I am really picky about where I partake. Recently started working in Bedstuy and was strolling the neighborhood and happened upon this spot. It was too late for me to order as my break was almost over but I was curious enough to read the reviews and was intrigued. It's a nice location with both an indoor and outdoor vibe. The block has good energy and the outdoor seating kinds of call you in. My first visit, I play it real safe and just order two crispy chicken tacos to go. It took about 10 mins and the staff was courteous. Bay-bee let me tell you, I ate them things like I was about to surrender myself to jail. They were finger licking good. A week later when a friend suggested we meet for happy hour, I suggested we meet here. It was Friday and we arrived around 5:30 to a packed bar, several large groups inside but plenty of outdoor seating. Since it was in the 70's late October we were happy to choose that option. I got the frozen sangria Margarita and 2 crispy chicken and she had guac and chips with the same drink. Once again, scarfed the tacos down. Drink was hitting and I left happy. Needles to say, I'll be back. I'll expand and try new things but it's clear that there are hands down in my top 4 and at that price point, that makes this place a real gem. Go, you won't regret it.

    no happy hour for drinks or food. no happy hour at all it is sad amazing drinks and food but it is expensive so to not have a happy hour is a debby downer especially in this economy that's it that's the review.

    Sangria Margarita

    I stopped in here on a Wednesday afternoon while waiting for a friend nearby. I sat at the bar. It was pretty empty inside, but there were a couple of people also sitting at the bar. I ordered the sangria margarita. It was just okay to me, but had a watered down taste. The bartender did need to be reminded to add the sangria so I'm not sure if it was made accurately. I would come back and try other drinks and food items on the menu.

    Was put looking for something to eat and I was thinking Mexican. Passed one spot and had to go down some other blocks and came upon this gem. They had people outside and people inside. I ordered my food to go. I had the Bowl with shrimp and my boo had the grilled chicken taco and the beef one that stats with Barboa beef ( not the correct spelling). So one of the hostess told me that the BBQ beef was a hit so I got it and boo liked it. I am definitely going back and I would recommend this place. Oh and the happy hour is from 12-7

    Came here for Cinco De Mayo and I loved the energy! The food was great, service was quick, and they had great music.

    Sooo happy I found this spot!! Walked in and the mariachi music was blasting. Finally, a Mexican restaurant in nyc that understands the assignment. I had been craving a good Mexican spot and this place does not disappoint. I'm only docking a star because they do not have happy hour. I HIGHLY recommend getting that in order. Also had to doc a star because the margarita drank is pure sugar; I had to order a tequila shot on the side just to balance it out. Here's what I liked: the chips and guacamole was fresh. The service was attentive and helpful. The tacos were average, it wasn't bad but it wasn't great. I'm harsh sorry I'm from LA. I would come here again for the vibes and guacamole and chips. Ambiance - 5/5 Food - 4/5 Service - 5/5 Value - 4/5

    mango and strawberry frozen margarita (alcoholic beverage )

    We stopped by Sonora in Brooklyn mostly out of convenience--it was within walking distance, and we needed a quick bite before a concert. But wow, it did not disappoint! The frozen margaritas were incredible--super refreshing and strong in the best way--and they even offer them to go. My boyfriend ordered the burger, and it was insanely juicy. I went for the shrimp tacos, and honestly, they were the best I've ever had. We ended up taking some extra food to go and ate it after the concert--and somehow, it tasted even better the second time around. Customer service was super great. It was a cute place that also offered bar seating as well. Definitely a hidden gem worth checking out!

    fantastic place great Mexican the spot for Tacos and Margaritas. the service was fast and attentive the ambiance is amazing

We went on a Friday night with a party of 3 and did a walk in. That was a risky move and to our luck, the hostess was so sweet and squeezed us in as the last party of the night!

Donkey Conga ($22) Bourbon and aged cachaça centrifuged with Banana. Followed by Cynar & sweet vermouth. 2. Manta Ray ($22) Coconut cocktail of apricot, ginger, and mint.

We had three and left suitably sloshed for the night with no aftereffects. We didn't have too many bites but the food was very good for a bar. I'm excited to go back and I hope we have just as much luck getting in next time.

Unfortunately this place fell very flat. Leading with what we liked: Their mocktail offerings were good, promising a 0.0% ABV which is hard to come across when mocktails are offered. They serve oysters, which adds to that aphrodisiac experience of the oh so 'wow this is a former brothel!'. The bartenders and servers were fast and very sociable with the more sociable customers. The immediate entrance is very tight, and it was uncomfortable navigating the space. We expected there'd be more seating in the back, which there was, but it was limited and not offered to us until we asked for it. We honestly had no clue where it would be and only asked because of how this place was advertised. While it was comfy once we made our way back there, it was reminiscent of a lounge style bar space that almost any bar could replicate with the right room and budget. We didn't feel as though this hit the spot and were let down by this experience. I'm not sure if I can judge the menu of drinks/ foods as expensive, but we left hungry bc we couldn't justify some of the prices. In addition, I've seen a lot of complaints about the volume of the music: it's definitely loud at the front but a lot lower in that back lounge space. It's as loud as any bar's music level would be, but truth be told we were expecting music that matched the vibe of what was advertised and yes, at a lower volume.

I've made it a point to visit every vinyl listening bar that I learn of in town, after enjoying the shared experience of someone curating a select vinyl list in intimate spaces in Tokyo. Few have been able to replicate the experience, but Honeycomb Hi Fi Lounge comes close. That the space is narrow with just a few seats along the bar and a few tables mimics the Japanese experience best, where you can almost have it so the whole room is having one conversation together. The music is the focus. The cocktail menu is rather simple, and my Stormbringer drink, with dark rum and ginger beer was not anything to write home about, but $15 is pretty low for cocktails these days so I'll take it.
