Coszcal de Allende is a family owned restaurant who's focus is to create a love filled environment, while embracing our rich Mexican culture through food. We pride ourselves on the fact that we cook everything from scratch, even our corn tortillas and salsas are handmade. Love Margaritas? We use the best ingredients, starting with 100% agave tequila. Search no more for the best array of small batch artisanal Tequila and Mezcal in Brooklyn. Come and dine with us! We also offer takeout and delivery, we are waiting for you!

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

I'm from Southern California so my standards are high. The decor is really cute and they have a beautiful patio in the back that you can enjoy in the warmer months. The owner treats everyone like they're family. One of my favorite Mexican restaurants in NYC by far. Great place to take a date, watch a boxing match or just have some good food and drinks with friends. 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

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

The guacamole was one of the best I've ever had and the complementary salsa was way better than most restaurants. The entre portions are large, I should've split the plate b/c it was too much for me to finish on my own...but yay for leftovers. 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

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 sandÃa 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

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

Amazing fresh homemade food, and the margaritas are really good too. The outdoor area in the back is great when the weather is nice. Try the Sopes as an appetizer - go with steak or chorizo. Good place for kids. 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

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

It is family owned, and the service is excellent. The food is delicious, really authentic and full of flavor. I've gone a couple of times already and have loved anything I've ordered off the menu, the tostadas are something I order very frequently. The cocktails are also so good and refreshing. I've never had a bad meal or experience here. During the warmer months they offer seating in the backyard. I will definitely continue to Reggie to Coszcal. read less

We came on a weekday when it was quiet and sat in the backyard. The food here blew us away. I had the pollo con mole. The food had lots of flavor, the chicken was tender. The beans looked simple but really left a great impression. The elote was great too I'm glad I didn't skip it. Even the tostones was perfect. I was surprised that everything we tried on the menu was this good. Coszcal de Allende didn't have any weak points. My only suggestion would be to play music in the backyard. read less
The drinks and food here are amazing! Love that it's family-owned! The daughter makes excellent drinks!
