Ordered food here and Uber Eats and it was spot on. They have a b1g1 deal on all tacos and the tacos are only $3. I ordered carnitas, spicy carnitas, and beef. The portion size was more than I expected for $3. Tender meat, full of flavor. The tortilla had a nice flavor and fresh taste and texture. So good. I also ordered a pineapple juice, the freshest juice I've ever had. So refreshing taste straight from a pineapple I really enjoyed this meal. Highly recommend read more

Tacos Matamoros - Carnitas - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

When we want an authentic Mexican meal, time and time again, TM is the restaurant my friends and I dine at. There are a wealth of Mexican restaurants in Brooklyn as well as Manhattan and Queens. However, TM reigns supreme and is the King of Sunset Park. This gem hosts a superb menu of authentic well known dishes such as hearty mole-poblano tamales, tacos filled with al pastor and delicious chorizos. There are other specialties as well such as pork ribs in green or red tomatillo sauce, breaded beef steak, Mexican grilled chicken sautéed in onion, pepper and tomato sauce and a variety of other specialties. Their delicious Margaritas, Sangria and Pina Coladas have been ordered numerous times with our meals. If you want beer it is BYOB. However, the standout meal for myself is the Cheese Enchiladas in salsa verde sauce with crema fresca served with refried beans and rice. It is consistently outstanding and very filling. Additionally, their horchata is rich, velvety and perfectly sweetened. At a recent visit, I ordered this and again was reminded of the consistency of deliciousness. I realized my review was eight years old and it was time to review again. TM is a no frills restaurant but the service makes up for the non festive decor. The staff is friendly, attentive and welcoming. There is a back room that can be used to host special events. When one looks for authentic Mexican dining, look to Tacos Matomoros. Transportation: R train to 45th and 4th Avenue stop @5 minute walk. B63 bus leaves you near restaurant. read more

Was on the hunt for some Mexican food and this popped up. When we entered, the restaurant was a bit dark and the waitress was speaking in Spanish to us. We ordered a burrito and the Texan nachos to share among three people. But honestly, the nachos could've fed us all as it was HUGE. The chips were a bit stale which ruined the nachos, but it was still tasty. The burrito was served on a plate. read more

Not the great experience I expected Was recommended to go by a friend, I invited multiple family members to go. There were some mistakes with the food orders when it was brought out which I understand because was a big table. However, when it came to the service I had a terrible experience with the waitress. She barely showed up asking if we needed water or any spoons, plate or anything. Worst part was when it came time to pay the waitress crossed out tip options and told me I was obligated to leave the tip option she had put, this was the first time I ever heard of this from any restaurant. It was my first experience here and last honestly. read more

This review is for their delivery orders, ordered dinner tonight and ordered 2 sides of rice and beans and decided to forgo the beans little did I know they would forgo half the rice too. (I was not expecting more rice for less beans... I was just expecting no beans and same amount of rice) Instead of the black container that it usually comes in they packed it in the tiny white boxes and it came hard like there were balls of rock hard rice like it's been there for a minute and it was less than half empty I've never had this experience before when ordering from here, they also forgot my carne asada taco. Probably my last time ordering takeout delivery and tip wasn't cheap for stale rice and missing tacos. read more

I visited with my family. Upon arrival, there was a line and a 20-25 minute wait. The host that hand wrights your names on a pad in order of arrival said it woube a 10 to 15 minute wait. I guess at the time we arrived is popular timing. Our waitress was cordial, not too talkative or informative, but she was professional. The service was decent. We really enjoyed most orlur food with the exception of the green tamale. It was dry and like over heated but it did have good flavor. I would return to have other authentic Mexican dishes. read more

I love this place. 1) food- always on time and delicious. 2) service- friendly staff and they're always attentive even when it's busy! 3) it's so culturally decorative. The paintings are so nice. To anyone that thinks this place is expensive, please go to park slope and then compare it to this place. To anyone that thinks this place lacks communication (language barrier)-- okay what do you expect we're in sunset park? Don't complain cause you can't speak Spanish. Be patient with the staff. It's not their fault management won't staff up. Times are tough. Cook at home if you're not patient enough. read more

I came here for dinner on a Wednesday night. The place was packed even on a cold Wednesday night so the place is definitely popular. We ordered the mixed ceviche tostada, carne asada tostada, and the pork chops with salsa verde. The pork chops came with rice, beans, and tortillas. The portions were large and the prices were decent. I really liked the carne asada tostada. The tostada was crunchy and there was a lot of toppings. The pork chops were a bit dry but there was a lot of salsa verde. I really like their salsa verde since it was actually spicy and not too watery. Service was okay, our waitress only spoke Spanish which I definitely to brush up on since I only know food terms in Spanish. I would come back, hopefully with better Spanish since I have Duolingo on my phone. read more

Awesome drinks! $5.75 for frozen margaritas and $6.50 for mojito! There were also various live singers all throughout the night! Really festive environment! read more

The food was good no complains. It was definitely a lot of food like this place give you stuff to fill up the table and piled high. Ordering can get alittle difficult if spanish is non existent, but it can be worked around. The place gets super packed at dinner time and the ambiance is definitely alittle hectic but hey that's place is bustling with people so you know it's good. The taste is good and the portions are ginormous so you know you get your moneys worth with tasty food. It's going to get real messy, so caution for the white t shirt cause they got sauce on top of sauces. What can go wrong with them rice and beans, and meat like straight up can't mess that combo up. Definitely would go back when craving for some Mexican food cause this place is fire read more

No tacos will taste as heavenly as Los Tacos, but these still satisfy! With only an 2018 menu to base off of, my brother and I blindly bought 8 large tacos. We ordered the Al Pastor, Pollo Asado, Suadero, and Carne Asada, which luckily only came down to around $28, which isn't too bad! The tacos came warm, safely wrapped with no mess. The green and red sauces were super liquidy unfortunately. The tortillas were also on the dry side. But taste wise, they had that taco taste we so crave: saucy, tangy, with that kick of cilantro and onion taste. The Carne Asada and Pollo Asado came with guac, which you know, makes everything taste better. Each box also came with some onions(?), that had a texture and blandness of a peach, and added that fun crunch element to eating tacos. Overall, decent place! I was also eyeing those delicious looking quesadillas off their 2018 menu, so I can't wait to go back for those! read more

Matamoros is very popular and has descent service but that did not help the taste of the food and drinks. Drinks were extremely weak. I had Pina colada and a margarita and the the alcohol was so weak and extremely sweet. The guacamole for $7 was very weak. Portions were tiny and they gave a lot of chips for a tiny amount of guacamole. Molcajete $24 has pieces of steak, cactus. sausage, cheese, pork, chicken and shrimp in ranchero sauce-comes with rice and beans. Sounds good right? but it turned out to be a dub, with small portions. It also come with tortillas. I also ordered a bunch of tacos cost about $2 but it was underwhelming as el bronco taste a lot better. read more

Decent food. I ordered mole con pollo which came with a side of rice and beans. The rice and beans were delicious the mole itself was okay, I finished the whole thing so it wasn't bad. Service was pretty fast and friendly. The only thing I was very weirded out about was there were no tortillas with the mole and I was only provided a fork and no knife. read more

What a disappointment! It started off well enough with the large(r) size lengua (tongue) taco. No discernible spicing but the meat was tender and the double taco moist and flavorsome. Then it was on to the al pastor; nary a whiff of pineapple, let alone any pleasing flavor. As for the steak taco, left most of the burnt tasting meat on the plate. In both cases the meat was chopped so fine that it was all char and no moist interior. As a consolation for taking the trip, I walked a block over to buy a takeout whole rotisserie chicken at excellent La Brasa Peruana. read more

Tacos Matamoros OVERALL: 7.1/10 The food is alright. It used to be better, but I feel like it's going on a down hill so don't expect it to be good when you go. FOOD: 7.1/10 I got the chuletas with the green sauce. It was good. It was my first time having such a authentic dish. But I definitely did finish the plate. I been here many times, mainly eating tacos, burritos and stuff like that. Those are alright too. The steak in the picture I didn't have so can't comment. SERVICE: 10/10 Service was typical. CLEANLINESS: 10/10 Clean. ATMOSPHERE: 10/10 Nice Mexican vibe to the place. WILL I COME BACK? Yes, only when I'm around the area tho.

I met my lady here on a Tuesday around 5pm since she works a few blocks away. After reading a glowing review from Peter D, I figured we couldn't lose. Service was pretty good. We didn't have 1 person, but it seemed like whoever was available came over to take our order, clear plates, deliver food and pick up the check. This way often seems much better since someone is always walking around so you never have to wait more than a few seconds to get whatever you need. We ordered some nachos for an appetizer. They were hot, very crispy and dripping with cheese, guacamole & chicken. A great start to the meal. For dinner I ordered beef fajitas which was super filling. A ton of veggies, meat and about 5 or 6 tortillas. It also came with a side of rice, refried beans, pico and guacamole. My date got 2 tacos (carne asada and chicken). They were HUGE and had so much creamy guacamole slathered on top. You just can't lose with that much guacamole. Overall, the meal was filling, hot and very tasty. I'd definitely go back. The only 2 small less than perfect things I noticed was: 1. There were a lot (about 1/4 of the meat) of chicken pieces in my beef fajitas. Don't get me wrong, it tasted great, but if I'm paying extra for beef, I expect to get all beef. 2. The meat & vegetables on the fajitas were super oily. Again, still yummy, but no one wants oil dropping from their meal. read more

I have no complaints, considerate staff, great food, cheap drinks. Cocktails are $5.50-$7.50, beer is $5, food is reasonably priced and portions are generous. Quesadilla was $8 small tacos start at $2, large at $3, entrees aren't expensive either I just had a bunch of apps. I took some great pictures. I loved the ceviche with oysters, sorry but cant remember the name but there is only the 1. offset for us non Spanish speaking, most staff don't speak english WELL but not anything to worry about because they brought over staff that could help. read more

It pains my nimble little fingers to do this, but I have to keep it 100 for all of the good people out there relying on Yelp for their important choices in life. Tacos Matamoros has always been my go-to, quick, and all-around favourite taco spot in NYC, but it's just not what it used to be. I've been a happy patron for the better part of my adult life, but my recent order was underwhelming and unlike any experience I've ever had with them. I ordered 6 small Al pastor tacos and a small seafood ceviche for takeout. When I got home, I was shocked to see what was NOT there. I was expecting an aluminum foil abundance of limes and radishes as per usual, and the classic green and red-brown salsas, but to my dismay I was given 3 like wedges and only the spicier red-brown salsa. I tried not to let that sour my dinner, but when I opened the Styrofoam boxes, I realised that they cut corners there too. The, once crispy, perfectly seasoned pork meat was replaced by a characterless soggy facsimile that was not as flavourless as their past tacos. I'm really disappointed in how this most recent experience went, but I hope it was an anomaly. I will try them again after I recover from this disappointing experience, and will provide another update after. I guess it's time for me to move on. Tl;dr - it's gotten Meh. read more

This place was recommended by a friend whom had been there many times with her Mexican co-workers. So gave it a try. Very nice comfortable atmosphere and always music playing but not loud. We sat and offered nacho chips and dips. Was good chips. The grilled pork chops rice and beans were good and tender. Chicken and pork tacos were really good. Definitely order their rancheros guacamole. So good and big portion. We ordered virgin pina colada and mango margarita. Both were really good. We enjoyed our dinner and food was good. Not much service as I didn't remember any one came back to ask how we were. But definitely recommended to try. I would go back. read more

Let me put ya'll on. This is one of the best taco place in this neighborhood. I live 1 block from this place and I pass by everyday when I go to the train. There's always people eating in there, no matter if its 10am, 1pm or 8pm. That's how you know its good. I always get the lengua and cabeza taco. My BF gets the steak taco and my sister gets the vegetarian taco. All of them are on point. You can't go wrong with the tacos here. Can't speak for the other items on the menu but I'm sure it's just as amazing! The only thing I wish is that guac isn't extra LOL. For some tacos like the steak, guac is included but not all. I also noticed some reviews about how the food has gone downhill and they are cutting corners. Yeah yeah, this neighborhood is getting gentrified. They either have to raise the prices up or cut corners. It is what it is. read more

Disappointed Pros: 1. Restaurant looks nice from the outside, but don't be tricked Cons: 1. While you eat, you think : "I could have cooked myself, and it would have been much much better" 2. They charged me $1,50 per extra corn tortilla. $1.50 per corn tortilla!!! Restaurants in the area offers free extra corn tortilla (note, they probably buy tortilla at Key Food next door, where ~100 tortilla are sold for $2). Insulting. read more

There are tacos on the menu, and there are Super Tacos on the menu. I don't know who in their right mind would order a non-super taco given the choice, but at the risk of redundancy, I want to tell you that you need a Super Taco in your life. (Preferably al pastor or chorizo, but it's your choice if you want to get an inferior meat.) In addition to just being Super, these thoroughly stuffed, juicy and flavorful tacos come on a 6" flour tortilla* with quesillo, lettuce, pico de gallo, queso fresco & sour cream. These are all good things, particularly the quesillo, which is apparently just little tiny bits of fried cheese. Tiny bits of fried cheese! These cannot possibly be a bad addition to a taco. I suppose it's not really fair to compare all the other tacos with Super Tacos, but these just might be the best tacos I've had in Brooklyn. _______________ *I don't want to debate the merits of corn vs. flour here. I love a good corn tortilla. But I do want you Corn Only Fanatics to recognize the fact that a bad corn tortilla, with its mealy/cold/unfreshness can ruin a taco utterly. Not so with a flour tortilla. read more

I love love love no frills, affordable, eat-with-your-hands-till-you-are-covered-in-meat-juices type of food. Hence why I love the delicious tacos found at this place. This place is packed with families on a night out, teens on dates or guys on a night out while a Hispanic man wanders in peddling DVDs. Order the lengua (beef tongue), cabeza (boiled beef head) and carnitas, as I did. You won't regret the 'fatty missile flavor' (to quote Bourdain) of fatty pork, cilantro, onions and hot sauce in the carnitas taco. Or the tender, beefy flavor of the lengua. Feeling more adventurous? Fried pig's intestines offers a spicy fatty crunch to your taco. Somedays I crave carnitas and fried pig intestine tacos. With a bowl of fresh guac. Is that a bad thing? read more
