I was so looking forward to try this spot. Maybe I don't know what Tex Mex is but since everything is fried, we just felt it's such a heavy heavy meal even we shared everything. The chips in the bean dip, crunchy tacos, churro.. The churro was also very dense.
Being from Texas, I absolutely love Tex-mex, so it's been hard to find a solid spot in nyc. Came across this spot in Williamsburg and was happy to get the chips and queso, loaded chili cheese fries and a frito pie! The staff was super sweet and fun and the decor of the spot is definitely reminiscent of Texas! I can't wait to go back and try more things on the menu
Since I wrote my initial review of Wayne & Sons, thinks have changed dramatically - for the better. Seemingly after establishing a proof of concept in Manhattan, they've moved to Williamsburg in Brooklyn. It's a bit further from the G and L than I'd prefer (especially if the weather is bad) but the journey from the subway is well worth it. The biggest upgrade at the new location is size: the new Texas-sized space might genuinely be ten times the size of the old Manhattan location. This makes it much easier to get a spot, with a sizable bar on the side away from the door and a dozen or so tables spread throughout the restaurant. It can still get cramped when they're busy but that's to be expected at any New York City restaurant. The decor of the restaurant is delightfully kitschy and every time I visit I see something new that's charmingly Texas. Service was already friendly in the smaller Manhattan space but it's only gotten better now they're able to squeeze more than a couple of employees in the space. Honestly they might have some of the friendliest service in New York City. Food and drink have improved as well. On the food front you've got all the old favorites and some new additions. My girlfriend and I agree that the chili fries are probably the best thing on the menu, with the Texquites and crunchy taco also being fantastic. The drinks have also improved, with the Strong As Buck drinks (limit 1!) making the hop across the East River and multiple frozen drinks joining the menu (I don't think those weee there before but the Texas Tea may have clouded my memory). Also need to shout out the house-made hot sauce, with the red being both very hot and very flavorful. It's a fantastic TexMex restaurant and if they had fajitas it would be perfect. Wayne & Sons 2.0 had a difficult challenge in being better than the original. They did it effortlessly.
I ate here with some friends on a whim, and it was good! We got seated immediately. We went on a very hot day, and there was no air conditioning, which I know is typical for NYC so it was fine. The service was friendly and quick! I wasn't very hungry, so I only got the mushroom taco, but it was delicious! We also shared the chips and queso. I don't normally order queso, but this queso was seasoned well and the chips were also flavorful. Overall, this was a great place to eat with friends! I wouldn't mind going back and trying more menu items.
I LOVE WAYNE AND SONS! Grateful to see this wonderful team move to an even better location with so much more space! My partner and I love the food and drinks and you can never go wrong with anything on the menu! The whole team is super kind and attentive! We are familiar with the team from the first location so its great to seem the stretch out their legs at an even better space!! Come check them out asap!!
Delicious! Went for the first time Saturday night. It's a small place with 6 tables outside. Looked like maybe there's a small bar inside you can also sit at. There was a short wait so left my phone number, took a walk around the block and we went got back, I received a text message. We started with the Dips & Textopos, I discovered I really like refried beans! All three dips were very good. The frozen marg with a prickly pair floater was a refreshing cocktail. We ordered two Crunchy Tacos, omg, so good! I had a king Ranch, my husband had the Asado, which he said was very good. He also ordered the burrito which was perfectly put together. I had a bite, it was tasty. We were still kind of hungry and we weren't sure ordering two more Crunchy's was going to be a good idea but we did it anyway because we both loved them. Tiffany was our server and she was super friendly. Everything was great. I don't have one bad thing to say about our dinner there!
Fun little happy hour spot (forgot the name of the frozen marg but it's incredibly worth it) - phenomenal service and the outdoor seating was v fun! Good tacos (from someone who's lived in Texas his entire childhood) Cheers!
Tastes and feels like a slice of home. We loved their chili fries, crunchy taco, and burrito quite a bit. And of course we had to have some queso! The energy was very warm and kind, we will definitely be back. Would also like to give a shoutout to Justin for making our night even better!
Talk about an absolute hidden gem, I can't believe it took me until tonight to eat here. To start, the staff was super friendly and personable, and gave great menu recommendations as well. The food came out fast, and MAN was it tasty. The chili armadillo fries were packed with flavor and the take on the crunch wrap taco was equally as good. The star for the show for me was the king ranch taco, the tomato sauce that came with it was such a nice touch. HIGHLY recommend stopping by!
Allegedly they have happy hour according to the sign outside but there was no happy hour menu and all our stuff was priced normal (probably should have asked but didn't). The beef taco is so good and very reasonably priced. Bartender was hilarious. It's super tiny inside. Queso wasn't good but the salsa and bean dip were. Skinny marg was good.
Super cute spot! Friendly owners! Great fresh and homemade food! We stumbled in during the pre launch and loved what we saw. Frozen margaritas are perfectly curated, just the right amount of frozen with quality fresh ingredients. More tart than sweet which is how I love it! Tequila is smooth. We also tried the chips/salsa/queso, king ranch soft taco and crunchy beef taco. All were great and any Texan in nyc will appreciate. Can't wait for the full menu and will most def be back for a breakfast taco. Great spot, def check it out! Worth schlepping to the East Village for !
After a week in NYC, I was seriously craving tacos. A coworker recommended Wayne and Sons, and I'm so glad I checked it out. It's a small, unassuming spot. You could easily walk right past it without realizing what a gem it is. This is definitely Tex-Mex cuisine, which was a real treat for someone from California. We tend to lean heavy on the "Mex" side, not so much the "Tex," so I really appreciate Tejano food when I can find it. I ordered a crunchy taco and an asado taco. Both came in hard shells and were absolutely delicious. The salsa verde was solid, but the salsa roja was mind-blowing. I immediately asked if they sell it, and the staff said they're working on bottling it. I can't wait. I also got the queso, which came with "Textopos." It's a clever play on words that took me a second to catch. The queso itself was rich and comforting, exactly what you want from a Tex-Mex spot. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. They helped me order the right things and made the whole experience feel relaxed and personal. This is a unique and special place in NYC, and I'm really glad I stopped by. I'll definitely be back.

This place has really weird hours, my bf and I have been trying to come here since its opened but everytime we were craving it, it wasn't open or it said it was open but it actually wasn't. But we finally got to try it on a pleasant summer evening. Its tex mex and really tasty! I recommend their cruncy tacos and queso dip & chips! The magaritas are good too read more

I've been wanting to check out this new ATX-style Tex-Mex bar and taco joint since they opened. It's located in the old Miss Favela space and is a sort of spiritual successor, carrying on the same laid-back vibe and ambiance. Unfortunately we came during a heat wave, and if there is any AC inside, we didn't feel it. But the vibes were good, and we enjoyed the happy hour cocktails and chips with refried beans. The mushroom tacos were really, really good, with a nice smokiness that's difficult to achieve. I wish it came served on a soft tortilla, as hard taco shells are not really my thing. Overall, a fun addition to the neighborhood! read more

Literally stumbled on this place and almost left because we were looking for a bar, but we were convinced to stay by some other patrons. The vibe was cozy and fun and the staff was so kind and welcoming! This place is great for a quick bite and the food was delicious. My friends said the drinks were great and strong! They then brought us back to the speakeasy which was a great vibe! If I'm ever in the area again and looking for a quick greasy fix this will be my first stop! read more
