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

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

Good food and good drinks! Homemade style Mexican food and not your regularly greasy type. Good service always!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
