And, I don't say that lightly! I have been a Mexican Food fanatic since I was a kid and this place knocks it out of the park! As a Agave nut and Certified Specialist in Wines, I can attest that the cocktails, spirit selection and Wines are top notch and leave NOTHING to be desired. I am happy that Coszcal de Allende is in such close proximity to my home!! read less

Prior to the pandemic, I'd occasionally pop in for happy hour. Finally made it back this afternoon for a late lunch. The ensalada de sandía was a nice mix of watermelon, cotija cheese, cucumber, avocado, and cilantro. The sopa azteca was warming and satisfying, with lots of tortilla and chicken and a dollop of crema. The tostones were some of the best I've had, and the roasted garlic was the perfect garnish. Their hibiscus drink was also top notch, the right amount of sweet. Hoping to head back again soon! read less

If you were just walking by, you might keep on going because the outside of this gem of a restaurant isn't very welcoming. But, take a 2nd look and venture inside. The food was really, really good! Staff friendly and prices very reasonable. Mole was spot on and delicious. Give it a try. read less

They have the most impressive mezcal selection that I've seen in the world. The shelves of the bar are packed two or three rows deep with a bottles. It's overwhelming. They have a menu with some tasting notes but the menu is outdated as the pricing and selection have both changed. I decided to focus on Del Maguay distillery which they had over a dozen varieties from. I further narrowed down the options by focusing on the non-Espandin agaves leaving me with seven options - Tepextate silvestre, Papalome, Tobala, Chichicapa, San Pablo , Minero and Pechuga. I decided to sample one ounce of each and put together an order for the tasting. The waiter was incredibly patient and accommodating of my bizarre antics.
With my mezcal plan in place, I turned my attention to the food menu. Again, I found the food menu a bit overwhelming. It was poorly organized which made it difficult to figure out the portions as well as the signature items. We ordered some guacamole and chips to share for the able and I ended up going with the spicy tripe soup and the Chile rellono.
Based on the pricing and the location of the soup on the menu, I thought it would be an appetizer. I was wrong. It was an entree portion of some absolutely delicious soup. Super rich broth. It was served with tripe and bones which still had marrow inside and cartilage around it. One of the best preparations of tripe and cartilage. This dish alone was enough for me but I had already committed to the Chile rellono so that came next.
The stuffed pepper was delicious and came in a outstanding sauce. Once I finished the pepper, I dumped my rice in the dish to soak up all the flavorful sauce. I probably could have used up a whole baguette cleaning up the sauce in the bowl.
Given that I just ate two entrees, I was out for dessert. The ladies I was with ordered a couple desserts and preferred the chocolate tres leches which I haven't seen elsewhere. It seemed like they really enjoyed it.
The service was very attentive, hospitable, and accommodating. My wife wanted to completely customize an item and they were very kind to accommodate her. read less

This is something you have to experience on your own. It is quite possibly the best Mexican spot I've tried and this is coming from someone who lived in CA for 5yrs and tried all types of Mexican food. This is the spot. Do yourself the favor and come here. You won't be disappointed. From the decor, the costumer service, everything is on point.
They deserve a 10 star rating! read less

You can't taste the freshness of the food as well the Mexican drinks . The waitress was so nice and recommended us to try the limeades with club soda and she was right it's so much better. If you're looking for freshness and quality in food with good service this is the spot. They also deliver if you can't make it , if you can visit it one avenue away from the train station which was super convenient for us. The venue itself is super chill family oriented,and very cultural vibe from the color on the wall, sculptures - to the detail on the tables. Highly recommend read less

About two weeks ago I wasn't feeling well, all I wanted was a homemade chicken soup. I visited Cozcal, and as always they delivered! There was no caldo de pollo on the menu but I asked Fabiola and she said the kitchen could make it! Wow, Fabiola and staff delivered! Friendly staff and great food, stop by when you are in the mood for authentic Mexican plates and hospitality. read less

I got the same thing I always order when trying out a new mexican place: cheese flautas, rice and refried beans, and agua de jamaica. All three were spot on and delicious.
The only thing I would say isn't so great about this restaurant is how they list the rice and beans as a separate side rather than giving you rice and beans with your meal. You get 3 flautas and it costs $9 but does not bring rice and beans... which I find a little pricey. Nonetheless, I will probably still order from here in the future because I can overlook price for good quality sometimes. read less

The service is a bit slow but we don't mind because this is a true mom and pop operation with everything being made from scratch in the kitchen. Service was friendly and the food was excellent. Highly recommend the baja style fish tacos. They have great drinks too read less

We had a wonderful lunch at this small, family-run restaurant, and their spacious backyard is perfect for these socially-distanced times.
We've gotten delivery before (mostly burritos and enchiladas, all delicious), but this was our first time eating there. We have always liked their guacamole and totopos, and it was an even better starter in person. The freshly fried chips were also a good match for the complimentary salsa.
The majority of their lunch specials were under $10, and we got chicken tacos and carnitas de pancho, both of which came with rice and beans. Both were good, but the carnitas was the better of the two and probably our favorite thing that we ate at lunch. Looking forward to returning soon! read less

Their food is flavorful and fresh. I absolutely love their shrimp quesadillas and burritos. If the weather's nice, definitely sit outside-- they have a lovely setup out back. It kind of transports you out of little 'ole Bay Ridge for a bit-- reminds me a bit of my time in San Juan, Puerto Rico :)
Don't forget to compliment the chef! Great little family business-- the new upgrades they've implemented definitely has made a difference. Can't believe I used to just pass by this place all the time. Don't miss out on this one read less

After seeing all the beautiful pictures on yelp I knew I had to make a visit. I highly recommend getting one of those platters as your main, they come with a little bit of everything. I ordered the steak with tinga platter and it came with tortillas, guacamole, queso , beans and rice. We also got the pollo alpastor that is basically a deconstructed pollo alpastor taco on a skewer with grilled pineapple. If you're looking for a good side to share besides guac and chips I would get the ceviche. It is delicious but the only complaint is that they are inconsistent with the order. Last time we got the mixed ceviche with fish, shrimp and octopus. Going back recently 2 weeks later, they had said if we want it mixed the same way it would cost $6 more which will bring it closer to $19! In which case it is no longer worth it. read less

They have a great bar/alcohol/cocktail selection and excellent service. There's space indoors, in a back patio, and in the front by the sidewalk. It was decently busy on a Saturday night on the earlier side (all indoor tables were full and several in the back patio were taken).
We had the Sopa Azteca (really amazing--maybe the best tortilla soup I've had), Chile Relleno (delicious), Chicken Enchiladas (solid, but not as good as our other items), and the Plato de Barro with steak and chicken (very very tasty meats).
I'm looking forward to coming back here! read less
