Everyone who lives in the Ditmas Park area and it's immediate surroundings knows that pickins are very slim when it comes to delivery choices. These people are well outside the neighborhood and they delivery here anyway. There are about 4 Mexican places that will deliver to those of us that live near Newkirk station and this is the best of them.
Mirador is always very fresh. They are AUTHENTIC, this is food made by Mexicans FOR a Mexican palate and those of us who appreciate that even if we're not Mexican. Yes, delivery takes forever. I know that and I deal with it because of the freshness of their ingredients, and the fact that the food will be good. Some Mexican places near me deliver much faster but are nowhere near as good in flavor. This is a small, seemingly family business and whoever delivers my food (younger guy, older guy) is always super polite and friendly. The prices here are also beyond fair.
Menu standouts: steak tacos, steak or chicken Nachos Supremos (these are fantastic, add a little lettuce and onions and you have the perfect bite) which are good enough to convince my husband to eat Nachos regularly, something he never used to….also the Tortas are great, especially the Milanesa and grilled chicken varieties, and nicely made guacamole. Recently tried the golden taco and thought it was a good dish for every once in a while if you want a crispy tortilla, although beware the giant chunks of meat inside, it's not cut in cubes like the soft tacos, it also tends to be covered in sour cream so maybe get that on the side if it bothers you. Their green and red hot sauces are super fresh and tasty too (get it on the side if you're not used to real heat or else your food will be unedible).
I've also eaten inside, sitting down with my husband a few times and those were also good experiences, with icy cold beers to boot. It is definitely divey, dark and kinda weird in the front but the jukebox and other patrons create a quirky vibe that I enjoy on occasion. Don't know how it would go for people who don't speak Spanish, but the service was fine and the food was the same — overall, consistent, fresh and delicious. Thank you El Mirador!
