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

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

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

I have never had anything here I didnt like. Theres a back yard garden for outdoor dining and safe social distancing indoors and out front. The Tortas are delicious, anything with Chorizo is my favorite and definitely cant forget the drinks. Their margaritas whether frozen or on the rocks will never disappoint. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. 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

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

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

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

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

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
