The portions are huge but tasty, the Ceviche is amazing, and most importantly the Brunch options are very good! They serve all their food in authentic Mexican Earthenware and the Guacamole is served in cute Aztec style mortar and pestle made from volcanic rock. The garden outside is nice and accommodates large parties. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this place! 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

I have been here to have dinner a few times with my lady and friends on occasion and everyone is always happy I chose this place. The service is pretty attentive and friendly. I don't always get excited about Mexican food but I do about this place. The sangria is pretty good, I highly recommend it. :) 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 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

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

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.

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

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

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

I'm a huge fan of this spot. It's authentic and so delicious. They also have a mean happy hour.

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'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
