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

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

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

The food is always delicious. You can't go wrong with any of the platos fuertes, but our particular favorites are the chile relleno, cochinita pibil, and the mole con pollo. Now that it's outdoor eating weather again, we're looking forward to enjoying their beautiful backyard and inventive cocktail menu! 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

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

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

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

The ambiance is laid back but very well appointed, the service attentive and super polite and the prices definitely reasonable considering the quality of the ingredients. The queso fundido with roasted vegetables was delicious and plentiful and the mixed ceviche featured very fresh shrimp and flounder alongside perfectly ripe avocados but the real star was the panzita -- a spicy tripe soup akin to menudo featuring a complex and deeply flavorful guajillo pepper broth. Served alongside a cheese quesadilla (I guess that's how it's served in Guanajuato?) for dipping it was a perfect Saturday lunch.
I can't envision a trip down to Bay Ridge without eating here as it along with Karam are heads above the dozen or so places I've tried in the neighborhood. read less

This is some of the tastiest Mexican food I ever had...and I was in San Antonio last week. We were a large group so we were able to order lots of apps and they were all perfectly prepared. But, they were filled with great flavors. You could really taste great Mexican ingredient.
The drinks all looked great, sangria, beers, wine.
I expect I will always try to come here when I get to Brooklyn/Bay Ridge.
The service was also well done and I was digging the tunes, Santana, Marley. A great way to spend our office holiday party. read less

But my previous review focused too much on the tortas. I actually order several dishes way more common than tortas. A few to note: the Sopa Azteca (watch out it's spicy), the Enchiladas with green sauce, and Carnitas de Pancho.
Anyway, this place is a must. But a word of advice, don't expect New American Mexican food, or Tex Mex. This is more like top quality traditional Mexican food. I believe some of the lower reviews are from people that expected one of the other aforementioned styles of "Mexican food". 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
