    They've expanded their menu. But the margaritas are a perfect treat for good weather days. I'll be back to try one of the bowls.

    Fish & shrimp taco with side of rice and beans.
    Ginny C.

    Good food but very bad service. The shrimp taco was delicious and cooked perfectly. I enjoyed it more than the fish taco. I wanted the tortilla so I got rice and beans on the side but you can always get the bowl which I saw a lot of people order. They also have Mexican Coke! Beware of side eye from the staff and the fattest rats that scurry in the plants nearby!!

    Happy hour margaritas

    eating by the water is something else. no one is here to eat the food, the food is just a prop and the views & vibes are your main course. the food came out decently quick and the margaritas ($6 during happy hour) were genuinely delicious and had me feeling something (yay!) i was a bit intimidated by the service but maybe they just couldn't hear me . Either way i got the correct items and had a great time! Abundant seating! Colorful chairs and tables!

    Went for a walk as i am never in this area and wanted to explore a little. Inhave always seen the Tacocina from the boats view but this was the first time trying out the food. I got 2 steak tacos ($7 each) and a pork burrito ($15). The food took about 10-15 to come out as there were a lot if people waiting for their orders. The tacos were small on 1 tortilla which made it hard to pick up as the tortilla was falling apart. It was a good taco but not worth the $7 each. The pork burrito was delicious. It was a good size with a good amount of meat. It could have used more of their green sauce as it was dry but tasty to eat. I definitely recommend getting a burrito over their tacos.

    Carne Asada Taco & Paloma Margarita

    I was here last week while strolling around Domino Park. Honestly I thought the tacos were going to be bigger than I thought but I was surprised to see how small it was when I got my order. The cashier was indifferent when I greeted him, other than that the servers at the counter were nice. The ambiance was outdoors which was not too bad

    Wow! This place has been on my Williamsburg list for a while now and I'm thrilled that I was able to check it out over the summer. This location is within Domino Park which is ideal because you're able to capture the incredible view while dining. I had the fish tacos and chicken tacos with a frozen drink (passion Fruit Margarita). I thoroughly enjoyed the fish tacos but I can't say the same for the chicken tacos. There's a decent amount of seating available. Once your order is ready, your name is called by one of the friendly & professional employees. Your best but is to come here on a beautiful Spring or Summer Day. I'm looking forward to returning here next Summer.

    Nice to have an option right in Domino Park, especially with the great weather nowadays. There is happy hour til 6 but only on the drinks, no food. The tacos themselves are pretty standard and nothing too outstanding, I do think a little bit pricey but you do have the great view and spot there. The drinks weren't too bad, the tacocina margarita was actually pretty strong in my opinion.

    The view and the convince highlight this cute taco stand perfectly situated right on the waterfront park promenade. Tasty drinks, small tacos, and pretty standard chips and guac. The prices are decent but not for pre-made drinks. Plenty of outdoor seating with tables give that ideal relaxed summer backyard feel, there is no table service which is not a problem for me. Happy Hour would get them an extra star, but i'll still come back.

    It's a nice spot. food order was fast, high quality, and and tasty! has drinks too. located in a modern park that has immaculate views of manhattan and the river. it has outdoor seating which is quite cute and surround by trees and plants. strong lights for evening as well. vibes are great and light here, totally bring friends out. surrounded by the industrial part of brooklyn, making this a cool, modern, and easy place to get some snacks, small meals or drinks. definitely check it out, especially on a nice summer day! (+ free water and a nice lawn to lay on)

    Quick service nice easy transaction got the loud speakers to call your name when the order is ready good little operation going on in the park pretty crowned everyday

    Chicken tacos
    Murielle L.

    I will give them 3 stars because customer service was good. I'm a huge taco person and this place did not impress me. We tried the chicken tacos and they were a bit spicy and just overall okay. I've had better tacos in Queens. It's a cute place and it's convenient as we were walking in Domino Park. I probably wouldn't go back.

    Cool little spot within Domino Park to chillax along some awesome views while munching on chips and guacamole, and catching a buzz on a cold brew or frozen margarita! They have a small yard area with picnic benches and high top tables to sit and consume. Very nice to have a spot in the park where you can drink!

    Elite with cream, Parmesan and suppose to be a steak taco with pica de gallo
    Nelly R.

    Went to this spot for the first time. Was not impressed. The food was not worth the price. They don't ask for allergies. The customer service is not good. I asked for help, my server was Karla P. She ignored me. At first I thought maybe she didn't hear me, but then another person called out to her and she did the same. Nice location but bad service.Do not recommend this place. It did not look at all from the pictures from tik tok.

I went on a Friday evening around 9:30pm. It was still fairly busy inside, but it was mostly people grabbing to-go orders. After ordering I snagged a spot at the counter. There's extremely limited seating, so I wouldn't bank on eating at the restaurant when it's busy. Be prepared to take your food to go. I got the Nene's Deluxe, which comes with a taco, a mulita, and an empanada - all with Birria of course. It was all delicious. The mulita was at the bottom of the box and got completely soaked with Birria. It was extremely messy to eat. Get plenty of napkins. I also got a side of fries and nacho cheese, because it was a long week and I deserved it. They had a seasonal strawberry horchata as well. This was okay. I also think I might just not love horchata in general. This meal definitely hit the spot. The Birria and consommé were top notch. I would return in a heartbeat.

The empanada was not like the usual closed off empanada, it was like open like a taco but instead of a taco shell, it was like the empanada dough. I didn't try the mulita yet but it was huge. Filling between two tortillas and I saw some guac filling as well. The consome was good! Not too salty - and has general pieces of meat inside the soup. The tacos were good but I felt like it lacked a little depth. I added some of the mango(?) it was a sweetish salsa and that gave it a nice little kick.

Despite the fact that the taco wasn't fresh, I think it might've been a day old and the shell was a little stale. But the flavor of the birria - wow.

I'm sure that can seem like a small thing but lime is such an integral part of tacos for me and most place give you one or two for like it's the lime shortage of 2014. So to open my box up and see five, I was super excited. The price is really affordable too. I paid twenty two bucks for tacos, consume and a drink. Can't beat that!

I came in late night on a Friday and there was a good amount of people at the restaurant. My friend and I both ordered quesadillas with al pastor and I was surprised at how fast the food came out! I think we waited barely 5min. I had the flour tortilla for my quesadilla. The quesadilla uses one tortilla so it's probably pretty small for the average person. My friend was still hungry after his, but the size was just right for me since I get full easily. I got my quesadilla with everything on it besides pineapple. The onions and veggies tasted fresh and there was a perfect amount of meat and cheese ratio. Will definitely be back.

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.
