Still am and always will be a huge Sofia's fan. They have the best milanesa torta in the area, tacos are fire, nachos are fire, so reasonably priced and no frills. read more

Tacos are amazing. Just here for a few days and I had gone to Nenes the last two nights. Nene's was busy tonight so I can by Sofia. Damn!I had been missing out. The restaurant front is unassuming but the food is amazing. There are only 4 seats to dine in but get take out and enjoy your meal. Awesome service too. read more

Taqueria Sofia - Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I enjoyed the authenticity and feel of this place, but it's a bit hard to plan to come back given its size. It was more of a small counter feel, with only one table inside. The menu is extensive, and the highlight to me was the mole nachos; it's not something J could have all the time, but it is unique and tasty where I enjoyed the new flavors I was experiencing. I would order these again. I got a burrito - no veggie option, so just without meat; it was solid but nothing to salivate over. I have heard good things about this place, so while they didn't exceed any expectations, I left full and happy! read more

Taqueria Sofia - De Mole Nacho - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Okay, Okay! I admit, I have a Mexican food addiction. Call me the Mexifood Guru, ha! I ordered tonight from Seamless and I am more than pleased with my order. I had 1 carnitas tostada and 2 tacos that were of chicken and carnitas. The taco shells were nice and toasty and stuffed with meat. It was all just so DELICIOUS Delivery was fast, my food was still hot and once again DELICIOUS I devoured it so my pics won't be pretty but hey, at least you can see what I ate right? I'll be visiting in person since I love me some authentic Mexican food and this place deserves my presence. I would appreciate next time if they gave me utensils, but fortunately I'm home so I can just grab one from my kitchen. I know you're probably thinking "Why does she need a utensil for tacos and Tostadas?" Well........when you fill that sucker up with delicious meat the way they did, you don't want to scoop it with your hands, will you? Or maybe you do? Hahahahaha! read more

Once again Sofia dose an excellent job! On this rainy day I gave them a call and and ordered A Torta de Cecicina and some tacos de Barbacoa that were absolutely excellent as usual the bread on the torta was so fresh light and flavorful all the trimmings inside and the Barbacoa melting and the tortillas. I asked if they would do a delivery and yes, right away delivered by one of the owners. Thank you for your hard work, and kindness! read more

I love this place! My best friend family works here. Best food ever! Love the service! They are so nice!

Have been ordering here for 9 years and tonight an individual there refused a $20 bill because she said it was fake with the only explanation that it "looked different." If you're going to refuse money from a customer, you should at least know how to properly test a bill. An *actual* test on the bill was performed and it is in fact legit. I'd suggest investing in a counterfeit bill marker. They're not that expensive and would probably avoid turning away paying customers. Food is good but make sure you bring various looking bills so they'll accept one or two of them in the hopes of paying for your food! read more

Okay the sweetest people own/work here. My friend came in and ordered a burrito her shoe was falling apart and they went in the back and got gorilla glue and duct tape and helped her tape it up!!! It was so kind, also the burrito was giant and delicious! Definitely recommend. read more

If Taqueria Sofia was an animal, it would be a grizzly bear searching for the perfect cave. Get the nachos

Wow! The storefront is unassuming, but they definitely make some killer tacos. I stopped by one afternoon and tried the al pastor tacos. Their's are definitely some of the best I've ever had - a bit greasier than I would like - but soooo delicious. They don't skimp on the taco fillings or the sauces either. I appreciate that everything is made to order and that they take their time with the construction of the tacos, but if you are in a rush, I'd suggest calling in your order beforehand. The only downside to to-go orders is that they don't provide boxes. Everything is simply put on paper plates and wrapped up in foil. Okay in a pinch, but it definitely made a mess when unwrapping. For $3/taco, the food here is actually a really, really great deal. If I permanently lived in the area, this would be my go-to taco shop! read more

This place is always good. It is my go to for a mission style burrito in Bushwick. Huge and tasty, I like Carnitas.

Only reason I'm giving this place 2-stars instead of 1 is because it's probably my fault for choosing an authentic restaurant when I know damn well all authentic food I've tried, no matter where, has been bland. The blandest of the bland. No seasoning whatsoever. I ordered from this place for delivery for the first time in my friend's neighborhood because I was craving "the idea of authentic" tacos I guess. I was expecting seasoned chicken chunks with all the fixings (cilantro, salsa, onions, guac, etc). I also bought a quesadilla expecting the seasoned meat along with cheddar or american cheese oozing along with it inside of a four-way cut flatbread thing. What I got was a surprise. First, the delivery took about an hour. I didn't care much since I called the place nicely and they told me they were busy. I'm not an asshole, plus I wasn't starving. So, delivery wasn't a big deal for me. Food gets in my lap and it smells amazing. I open the container with four tacos packed in and I'm ready to chow down. They're not stingy with the meat, thy gave me plenty of limes, and a great amount of red and green salsa. I'm thinking this is going to be great and amazing. After my first few bites after putting on the lime, there was no flavor pops or...really anything. It was as bland as eating unseasoned chicken between just...flatbread with no salt in it? I can't put my finger on it. I was disappointed considering the high ratings I saw of this place. It wasn't spectacular at all. I had to carry home my leftovers and add hot sauce to give it SOMETHING. Then and only then was it worth eating. Don't get me started on the quesadilla. I mean, I don't know. Call me culturally ignorant, but when I picture a quesadilla, I don't remember loose strands of lettuce, flavorless white melted cheese, and more unseasoned meat between an even thicker bland flatbread. Even the salsa that was given was JUST spice. It wasn't seasoned with any salt or anything. I passed my quesadilla to my friend who took care of it for me, but he said it was kinda weird too. The ONLY real good thing I can say about this place is the fact that the ingredients used were super super fresh. But, what good are they if you don't help it with seasoning mate? TL;DR: Extremely BLAND food, but authentic I guess? Next time, I'm hitting up an Americanized place. That, or just an American cuisine place in general because I'm paying for flavor pop, not lightly seasoned or lack of seasoned food. read more

Taqueria Sofia - Don't be fooled. It's very....VERY bland. You could see the lack of seasoning on the chicken. No taste whatsoever... - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Efficient service, the carnitas is mouth-watering and the chicken is good too! Would definitely recommend if you need to fulfill your burrito/taco cravings - looking forward to trying other items. read more

Ordered for delivery over the phone because seamless wasn't working at the moment and boy what a mistake that was. The girl who answered the phone barely understood English and even when I spoke to her in Spanish she kept messing up our order. There were awkward gaps of silence - where I was like HELLO? Did you get that last one? She'll pause and then finally answer. She was clearly distracted. After a gruesome 10-15 mins of ordering like 10 different items, we finally completed our order. ETA was about 30-40 mins. 1 hour goes by and they were closing in 5 minutes. When I called the same girl was dazed and confused once again but managed to get a hold of the delivery guy - who was 10 mins away. Delivery was delayed because he was out on another delivery and they had to wait for him to return. At last, our food arrived. Here's the outcome of what I tried: Al pastor tacos - their best tacos, deliciously juicy and flavorful. Chicken tinga tostadas - spicy shredded chicken on a crispy tortilla. So good. Cheese quesadilla - while very large (two people can split in half), the corn tortilla and sour cheese didn't go well. Some dishes were good, some were OK - so I'm torn about this place. The phone service was really just a mess, though. She was nice but so distracted and confused. read more

Taqueria Sofia - Spicy Chicken on crispy tostadas. Delicious! - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Ordered delivery from Taqueria Sofia this afternoon and I'm writing this review only 30 minutes after my order arrived. I just finished eating a small portion of my order and I had to stop as I started feeling incredibly sick to my stomach. There were several pieces of chicken that had fat attached and everything lacked flavor. I ordered rice and beans but the cup of beans they sent had a bunch of gravy and hardly any beans (seriously, like a spoonful. They also smell spoiled. The green sauce they included was RANCID; as soon as I took the top off the container I could smell it. Will NEVER order from here again and I have no idea how they have any good reviews. read more

Taqueria Sofia - I have no idea what this sauce is because I didn't request it, but it is definitely rancid. - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

So fucking good. Keep up the beautiful art form you call cooking. Do the tacos, the steak and the chorizo

First time at this neighborhoods mexican restaurant. Service with a smile. It was a nice summer day, so I sat outside on the wooden bench. I came here for lunch. Ordered the Chicken Tinga Tostada ($2.50) It was tasty. Also ordered the Steak Taco ($2.50) It is made authentic mexican style. With chopped up beef, onions & cilantro. Both were good choice. I enjoyed my meal. I left a generous tip for quick & friendly service and tasty food. read more

Best Hispanic food I had in nyc! I'm from la and have been looking all over for good Mexican/Hispanic food and this is def my fave :)

Taqueria Sofia may be small but the food is always delicious. Even when they make a mistake they are good. I recently ordered delivery from there and only half of my order arrived. When I called about it they quickly corrected the issue and sent the other half of my order. I really appreciated the quick service. They are one of my favorite neighborhood spots and I would definitely reccomend them if you are craving some good Mexican food in Bushwick! read more

Stumbled on this with my brother checking out the kava bar next door on Saturday late afternoon. It was pretty empty and there was plenty of outdoor seating. We ordered the chicken nachos and carnitas and al pastor tacos. Everything was solid, especially the nachos which looked exactly like the picture someone submitted here. They were almost too pretty to eat and they were not shy with the toppings. read more

If I could go less than one star, I would. For starters, food came 2 hours after we ordered, I attempted to call and cancel, but all I got in return was an unpleasant woman on the phone who could not give me an update on my order. She then proceeded to hang up on me...okay. As we gave up on them and were about to order somewhere else, food arrives, so for fun we took a look. Steak quesadilla was actually beef bits and lettuce, confusing. Tamale was plaster by the time it arrived. Never again, easy enough. read more

Absolutely the worst delivery experience. My beans came on the bottom of the cup looking like brown water. Food is tasteless. Delivery took 2+ hours. read more

Taqueria Sofia - This is what they think beans should look like. they didn't give me a refund. - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Taqueria Sofia is absolutely fantastic. It's beautiful and everyone who works here seems like they are very proud of it. Al Pastor Taco that I have ordered was absolutely amazing, it had so much flavor and was absolutely delightful. And employees were really pleasant and helpful. I will certainly come back to Taqueria Sofia. read more

I love this place! I am from California and the food here reminds me of home. I've made the trek from Flatbush to this taqueria so many times and it's always worth it. read more

It's a solid spot for authentic Mexican. Pinto refried beans are my personal preference. I won't even walk into a place that serves only black beans. The beans were good, a little on the runny side and under-salted, easily fixed. The salsas were a bit bland as well. I had the verde and the roja. Nice spice to the red but again under salted. I enjoyed my tostadas - chicken and carne asada, but the chips were browned and over cooked a bit. Again, undersalted. If the beans and chips were better, it would be a solid 4. Horchata was excellent and they have a great selection of authentic imported sodas. read more

Doña Sofia always throws it down in the kitchen. She's always there slangin' the ill tacos, burritos, and tostadas when I'm too drunk and/or hungover to cook for myself. She's even waited for me after closing time to hand me a bag full of goodness. I've been in the neighborhood for a little over two years and found this gem a few days after moving in. I was hooked on the burrito for quite some time but then got on a taco tantrum. Carnitas and chorizo are my preferred meats but you really can't go wrong w/ any of the options she's cooking up. Had a Mexican friend show me what Agua de Jamaica (hibiscus drank) was all about and all I wanted to say was "ear me now!" Apparently it's made in house, too. Hit this spot up for legit Mexican, just don't expect to have any passion fruit margaritas. read more

High quality Mexican food abounds in New York (surprisingly enough) without question, but there is a significant price of admission if you want the good stuff. The mid to upper echelon is absolutely worth it, but as a west coast native I also want my dirt cheap tacos, stews, moles and salsa bars too. In this department New York is lacking, and I feel a great aversion to paying for $5 tacos or anywhere that says "California" Mexican. What even is that? Fortunately, I there is refuge in Bushwick. There's a good number of real deal Mexican joints around, and the price and dishes are right. One such place is Taqueria Sofia. Not the most dank Mexican food ever perhaps, but with a big Huarache and taco I was out full and content just shy of $10, and the people were very kind too. Me llenó el corazón. read more

Mediocre. Went there based off the 4.7. If you've been to Cali or Mexico you know what good tacos are. These are regular degular, nothing special. read more

Ok, I generally only review Mexican and Middle Eastern places in NYC, and usually only to lament the Mexican and praise the Middle Eastern. In this case, I'm happy to report that I'm here to say, as a former SF resident, this place does al pastor pretty freakin' legit. Before you ask--no, it is not on a spit...thus my NYC-only rating (I go on 2 scales, NYC and CA because there's really no comparison and I feel this way gives a clearer picture--see other reviews). I won't give a California rating to non-spit al pastor. It's more like a N/A. But hear me out. This is my first NY 9/10. Depth of flavor, lots of succulent meat (also try the carnitas) and a real knowledge of the marinade/process (which I discussed in detail wth the cook). I'm going out on a limb here and saying this may be the best you're gonna get in NYC (at this point there are few in Bushwick /Williamsburg /Greenpoint I haven't tried. And yes, I have several in Ditmas Park on my list. I'll get there!). WAY better than Los Hermanos and the other trendy spots in the hood. Do it. NYC : 9 / CA: n/a read more

Great tacos and tortas! I'm excited to try more of the menu. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and I love the homemade hot sauces. They are open late and have nice outdoor seating. This place is my go-to in the neighborhood. read more

Best nacho I ever had in my life foods are amazing there try the burrito it's to die 4

After living in NYC for 6 months and being deprived of a good taco joint the entire time, I am SO happy to have moved into the neighborhood and found this joint. This was the first meal I had while living in Bushwick (thanks to Yelp) and it didn't not have an impact on why i wanted to live here. Best tacos in Bushwick. Best tacos in Brooklyn. Some of the best tacos in all of New York City. I will stand by that. Pastor tacos + homemade red sauce - bring it on, any night of the week these things will go toe to toe with any other shop in NYC. For the price, arguably the best authentic taqueria in all of NYC. I've bought the salsas from here as stand alone items at BBQ's and people rave about them. read more

Los mejores tacos en Bushwick! Great, family-owned business, with delicious tacos, perfect after a night out in the area. I ordered three tacos and an horchata and was not disappointed. I notice they also deliver, which is excellent because I've been looking for something like this in my neighborhood since my move. Try the bistec taco! read more

Al pastor is amazing!!!!!!!!!!! Get it!!!!! We tried this place last week and have been back 3 times since! Lol! And I'm getting everyone hooked on their al pastor! I've tried it in taco n burrito, both equally good! read more

Coming from Southern California it was a bit difficult finding a good taco spot. This place definitely takes the win. My go to are the Al Pastor Tacos (tangy/spicy pork) and the Cecina Tacos (well seasoned steak). My housemate loves their Chorizo tacos.. still something I need to try. Two tacos are filling enough for me as they serve them on normal tortillas (not mini tortillas) and for a price of 3 dollars per taco it cant be beat Their burritos are huge but they are ok flavor wise. Their meat quesadillas are quite delicious but the main attraction are the tacos. The tacos are amazing! I suggest calling ahead of time to place your order if you are picking up as its been getting busier lately. Also they accept credit cards with no minimum! Definitely a hidden gem in Bushwick, I'd be selfish if I kept it to myself. read more

I'm just trying to figure out what human being with taste buds and an intestinal system thinks this is worth four stars...or worth putting through your body. Long story short - we went here because of the yelp reviews with an optimistic outlook. Ordered a quesadilla, burrito, and a cemita. The pork was crazy fatty. We had even asked how the cut was and we were told "it's very lean. Best cut." The "chorizo" (which I've never seen meat in this color) looked like bacon bits and was crazy salty. We even asked the waitress what she thought of the cemita prior to ordering and she said she had had it once, four months ago. Bottom line, food is not up to par, there are two microwaves in your face while you eat (spells delicious) and they shorted us $5 on our change from the bill hoping we wouldn't notice. In the words of Rosa Parks, "Nah. I'm good." read more

Tiny cozy little spot buried in the hood. Ordered one beef and chicken tacos at $2.50 each. Chicken taco was ok, lack of flavor. I definitely had better. Whatever you do, do not get the beef. I was chewing for days - had to spit out half of my taco cuz it was just too fatty. They really need to trim the fat off the beef rather giving it to customers!! I live nearby so I might return to try their famous quesedias. Cash only spot. read more
