One of my absolute favorite spots in the neighborhood with a delicious menu that my husband and I are making our way through one visit at a time. The drinks are strong and well made, and the staff are always so friendly and welcoming. Shout out to Roberto and Melvin for a spectacular time whenever we drop in! read more

One of the best places to get tacos in NYC!!! The food is so fresh and filling. I thoroughly enjoyed their bistec tacos and handmade churros. The drinks are strong and taste refreshing. I was waited on by Roberto and Melvin and they provided excellent customer service and enjoyed their kind and warm energy. Their is a nice backdoor patio that is perfect on a Spring and Summer day. read more

As soon as you walk into Taqueria Milear, you immediately feel the warmth and the cozy, inviting vibe. I'm genuinely in love with this place -- everything tastes homemade because it truly is. They have amazing weekly specials, too: * Happy Hour on Mondays ALL DAY with classic margaritas for only $10 (so good!) * Tecate Tuesday, perfect if you love an easy, chilled beer * And my absolute favorite: the Carnitas Combo -- tender, flavorful pulled pork that hits every time, available any day of the week. If you're vegetarian or avoid dairy, the Vegetable Burrito is incredible. It's hearty, packed with flavor, and wrapped in their house-made corn tortilla, which makes all the difference. Don't skip the chips -- with a scoop of guacamole on top of the warm chips. Heaven. Brunch here is another level: * Their chilaquiles are comforting and perfectly seasoned * And the eggs with steak is such a satisfying combo The cocktails are unreal -- especially their signature pineapple spicy cocktail. Truly one of the best I've had. Overall, Taqueria Milear is one of those rare spots where everything feels thoughtful, homemade, and delicious. I can't recommend it enough! read more

Melvin and team were fab! The tacos are always so so so good and my favorite in NYC. Love being a repeat customer!

Ordered for delivery, had the fish, shrimp and Birria taco. Loved the fish and birria taco, my kids agreed. The shrimp was good, but I've had better elsewhere. Also tried the el pastor, it was pretty good, love all the toppings all sauces they add. Came within a good time and packaged well. read more

Located this place via yelp. So we tried it and let me say it exceeded our expectations the food the service the atmosphere was all perfect. Great food good times. It's a must try location. I will be going back no doubt read more

Food- 3/5 The tres leches cake was a 5/5! Delicious! Loved the fruit! The tacos, not so much. The fish was the best out of the Fried Fish Taco w/ sour cream, Tinga Taco, Pollo Taco, and the Suadero Taco. The tinga was super spicy! Some of the tacos had a spicy dressing which wasn't listed on the menu ‍! I wouldn't have purchased if the spice level was indicated as such! Service- 2/5 Took a long time for my order to be prepared and completed. Ambiance- N/A Overall 3/5. Thumb up, would def order the fish taco and tres leches again! read more

- very good service - tasty sangria - it looks small upfront, but the backyard opens it up - chilaquiles are alright - i liked the grilled chicken over the steak - rice is good - music is low enough to talk, but loud enough t be present read more

As a Texan transplant living in nyc for the last 8 years, this is my FAVORITE spot in nyc!! The food is amazing and the drinks are strong and delicious! The service is the perfect. Today we had breakfast and beer and Manuel was our server. I sat on the adorable patio for the first time since I brought my dog with me and he brought a bowl of water out for him! Great ambiance;) Seriously love this place:))) read more

As I said in previous reviews please have a nice welcoming experience, I did not see in this case since there was no host or manager at the door, waitress seemed to miss some experience, I liked the small bar they have, very cozy place, ambience was kind of boring, food taste good although they still need to work on their plating! Food has to come out more presentable please, fresh water delicious, I would like to see more improvements before I can recommend this place, thanks. I would like to see Elite members to please rate and review business the right way, and this goes for regular customers too, is so disappointing when you go to a restaurant and find out that they are not what you are expecting, it's important to review the right way so when people go to eat to this places they don't get surprised. Giving 5 star means place really deserves recognition. Thank you read more

My friend said he loves this place. I don't know what he likes about it. I personally like the backyard seating area. The food and drinks were mid at best. It's nice they're open late though! read more

This is my favorite restaurant in the neighborhood. Tonight's visit was great, as always, and our server, Melvin, was a pro. I got the tacos tonight, which are delicious. I also can't recommend the empanadas and enchiladas enough! read more

Amazing service and dood. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for authentic Mexican food. Especially the guacamole

Melvin was great! The food was great! Recommend the mole. Great drinks. Fantastic spot.

The best tacos and Mexican food in Brooklyn! 10/10 margs and a perfect back patio. Go check it out!

Great food, great spot to have in the neighborhood! Open late as well. Thanks Melvin for the service!

Exceptional tacos, sopes, and quality drinks. The tortillas are handmade and soft. The staff is very attentive and kind. Manuel really helped us out and offered us guidance on the menu. This spot is a gem in nyc. read more

Went there for dinner, delicious food for a great price and quick service. I had the chicken tacos and my boyfriend had the quesadilla. The indoor seating space is a bit limited but there's a sauce station which I love. Will be back! read more

The one thing I truly enjoyed was the cozy backyard eating area. The decorations and decor are creative and inviting. Unfortunately, that's the only positive thing I can say about my experience. I ordered chicken enchiladas in a salsa verde, a buche (pork belly) tostada, and a mezcalita. As a lover of Mexican food, I can consistently say it was the worst prepared enchilada I've ever tasted. The same chicken used for nachos and other dishes was also used for the enchiladas. Just grilled chicken chunks, wrapped in a tortilla, topped with sauce and cheese. No love whatsoever was put into this dish. Knowing how to make them (from experience), I knew I was getting jilted. The Tostada had barely any pork belly on it, hidden by the brand and lettuce. Just all wrong. The drink was okay. To top that off, the service was lacking. A mezcalita and canned ginger ale weren't served until after the actual food was served. I really was looking forward to trying this place. I'm not sure I'd ever return, but I know I cannot recommend this business to anyone with confidence. read more

I'm Mexican and from California, so i'm quite picky about mexican food... but trust me when I say this is pretty damn authentic! First of all, lovely service, beautiful backyard, there was a lady hand making tortillas, the food was DELICIOUS. Two of us shared the ensalada milear, yummy sweet and crunch, a gordita chorizo papa, and bistec a la mexicana it was perfect we went home with leftovers, i was kinda sad they only gave us 3 tortillas tho so we had to place another order (they come in 3s) I didn't try the horchata bc i'm picky about that too but will definitely come back and give it a shot. Sadly no pics, which is rare for me :( but it was a lovely presentation! read more

Beautiful place with delicious food. Loved it and the customer service. It was all on point.

A good place to come if you feel nostalgic about Mexican food. The menu is simple and it delivers, the tinga and the birria were good. I'll definitely give them another chance read more

This would feel like another run of the mill tacos spot but the backyard takes the place up a notch. It's probably triple the size of the small interior, so when the weather's nice you can really spread out on one of their picnic benches and enjoy some classic Mexican food into the late hours (their kitchen is open until 11pm). I pretty much always order the same thing at various Mexican restaurants-- a shrimp taco, a fish taco, and rice and beans. There's was totally solid, especially paired with a Modelo. I love this spot for a casual meal al fresco. read more

Great place for happy hour!!! Nice outside backyard and wonderful service!! Can't wait to return as the temps warm up

Went here late Saturday night after working all day and needed to unwind. The wait staff was attentive and funny. They offered a recommendation and shots. Food was great. A few people came in after me, but the noise level was minimal. It's a small spot but cozy and like I said the food was good. I I didn't take a pic but next time will. read more

This neighborhood restaurant is one of the best places to eat dinner in or take home! They are family owned with incredible service. The backyard is so cute, very pretty with the plants, plus the food is YUMMY, and fresh. They've been operating for 10+ years as a crown heights hidden gem, if you're looking for authentic, delicious Mexican food: Taqueria Milear is the BEST read more

The food was good. Fresh! My daughter loved the mole chicken! Very reasonably priced. Great service. But the place is small! I guess they do a lot of takeout? They only have tables for two. read more

I had an amazing time eating here. The food was deliciously authentic. The beans and rice were super flavorful, highly recommend. Just get no matter what. I was fashionably late to my meetup with friends so I barely got to taste the guac and chips, but...from the little I had I definitely enjoyed. Kept going back for the crumbs even after I received my entree. My entree was shrimp tacos, fairly nice. I was a bit basic so my friends food looked really appetizing. They got the quesadilla and tostados. The tostados was such a salivating dish, crunchy and savory. The quesadilla was BIG and filling. This is a great pregame place also cause the drinks were strong strong. Service was really sweet and fun, offering us more to drink. My only suggestion is to salt the rim not the entire the cup lol. I had a frozen margarita. Lively and intimate is what I got from this restaurant. read more

Places like this keep the old soul of NY alive. Real neighborhood feel; plates overflowing with faraway flavors. Everything tasted fresh and delicious - from the shrimp taco to the vegan burrito. Be sure to eat in - the outdoor seating area has so much charm. And the whole restaurant is decorated beautifully - mariachi guitars and other old world treasures adorn the walls. Also, the margarita menu is out of this world! The best kind of restaurant for a laid back hang. read more

Restaurant has a small hometown feel, very cozy with just about 6 tables (3 large, 2 small). They also have a small bar in the back. The themed decor is very cute. Got a few tacos and two gorditas. Had chorizo which was good but a bit spicy due to the salsa. I would ask for the salsa on the side for all food if you can't take spicy dishes. Service was quick and prompt. read more

This hole in the wall/ takeout spot opens up into a beautiful hidden, Brooklyn backyard. Keep walking and you'll see oversized plants, mini yellow striped awnings, and three rows of tables enclosed by brick walls. It's not trying to be an IG photo-op spot, but feels comfortable & hidden with Latin music at a talk-able volume. Now onto the food/drinks- this time I ordered a steak quesadilla which didn't look how I expected at all. It was filled with meat and I actually had to take half to go, but it wasn't my favorite. I still gave 5 stars because the jugo Fresca tamarind flavor was off the charts. The drink was huge, refreshing and tart at the same time. I didn't even miss not having an alcoholic drink. My friend got the mint lemonade which was also humongous and perfect. More restaurants need natural juices! The guac was good as well. And even though they were busy they seated us quickly, checked on us frequently, brought out the food and drinks, and were relatively friendly but not overly chatty. Would definitely recommend as a neighborhood go-to spot when it's nice outside. read more

My sister took me here for my birthday and I absolutely loved it! We ordered chips and guacamole for the table to start. There was a salsa table available with different options too. We got a few sauces and a regular salsa for the table. I ordered the tacos as my entree. I got two steak tacos and a pork belly taco. I ordered cheese, sour cream, and guacamole with all of my tacos. The pork belly tacos were really good. They were juicy and cooked well. The steak, unfortunately, was overcooked and dry although it was good with the rest of the fillings in the tacos. The soft corn tortillas were thick, delicious, and filling. I was impressed overall with the available items on the menu and everything looked really good. I do plan on coming back here when I come to visit my sister in Brooklyn again. I was very happy overall, and all they would need to do is cook the steak for a little less time. read more

The tacos at 752 Nostrand Ave are absolutely amazing -- fresh, flavorful, and bursting with authentic flavor. The tortillas are soft and perfectly toasted, the meat is tender and juicy, and every topping -- from the crisp onions to the bright cilantro and squeeze of lime -- ties it all together beautifully. The al pastor has that smoky-sweet perfection, the carne asada is full of bold flavor, and the birria tacos are crispy, cheesy, and totally addictive. The vibe is friendly and full of energy, the portions are generous, and the prices are super reasonable for the quality. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or meeting up with friends, this spot delivers some of the best tacos in Brooklyn -- every single time! read more

Great margs, guac and chips. I did order a fish burrito and it was good but barely had any fish in it. Service was excellent and we enjoyed sitting on the back patio. Will come again. read more

It was amazing . It was really packed but they right away accommodated us. 5 adults 3 kids. The meat was really tasty and flavorful. The tortillas were handmade which I found it exquisite read more

Very good tasty food, service not that great. I understand that they are busy but nobody likes when they food come and it's cold cause it been sitting there waiting to be taken to your table. The Mexican waiters are very nice and humble but the South Americans wao they are in another lever of rudeness. I'm not discriminating or nothing but they seem bothered to be waiting on tables, to the point that the first waiter who took care of me gave the table to another and when I asked what happened to my waiter he said he was on break, to my surprise he was still waiting on other tables. Improve your help and deliver the food to the tables faster, no one likes cold tacos. I would've gave them 5 stars, if it wasn't for the service and the cold food. read more

Great ambiance with the open air garden. There is plenty of outdoor seating and somewhat less indoor seating. Outdoors everything was really nice except for the semi-loud Mexican Rap music. Service was very good overall though the waiter never came by to ask us how we are doing. The food was mostly very good. My friend had the regular chicken burrito 5 stars and I had the tinga chicken burrito 4 stars. Since they do not bring the complementry chips and salsa, we ordered it 3 stars. The two restrooms are decent though one needs to have its toilet seat fixed. read more

I'm upset with myself for not taking photos, but to my defense, I was hungry and in a rush to a meeting. I had the shrimp burrito and frozen mint lemonade. Both were made to perfection. The burrito was huge and full of flavor, and the frozen lemonade was a perfect balance of mint, sweetness and citrus. Service, food and decor were all good in my book. I'll definitely be returning. read more

Cute place in Crown Heights Friendly and attentive service Affordable Indoor and outdoor seating The outdoor area needs more decor and maybe some heaters just in case the weather changes.. which it always does in NYC Food is good could have a bit more flavor and better presentation. The churros were my favorite part of the meal Ambiance is cool and relaxing The music outside could be a little less loud during the week Drinks need to be stronger could be mixed better. read more
