A friend and I were venturing in the neighborhood and decided to check out this place to grab a drink and something quick to munch on.
We sat at the bar, my friend ordered a beer and I had a Michelada (one of my favorites) along with an order of guacamole with tortilla chips. As we observed the space and the clientele, it appears a lot of regulars frequent this space. We were sipping our drinks and realized the order of guac and chips were taking longer than usual. The barista apologized for the delay and explained their kitchen was unusually busy due to the brunch menu which had just launched that day. They provided us with two tequila shots on the house for waiting longer than usual for the order and then we received our order with nicely warmed chips and homemade guac.
Overall the place is cool to go in for a drink and just have a chill time and down a few Micheladas…which by the way one is enough for me.
Pretty cool place…I came here when visiting my fam for Christmas…we did a cousin outing and this was our first stop. Very small spot…only a handful of tables in the back for eating. Their pricing seems to be pretty decent. We got the sangria which was actually pretty good. They seem to have daily specials as well. They had one that evening for tacos and a free beer! Can't beat that. The service was okay…didn't really come to check on us that often :/ womp womp…
Possibly would come back if others wanted to again..
Pretty decent spot in Williamsburg. It's a regular bar where you can eat, drink & chill out. The margaritas are $15 and the music reminded me of early to late 90's throwbacks. There was also and outdoor area and it looked like they served appetizers until late as well. I would definitely try again….
Mediocre tacos and margaritas
A friend of mine has a two-state rule when it comes to Mexican food. He grew up in California and says that all of the best Mexican food occurs within two states of Mexico. Knowing this high standard to which he holds this type of food, I was understandably concerned when a third friend suggested that we stop for Mexican on our way to a birthday party.
When we first arrived at Veracruz, I think they were quite busy and we had walked in at the same time as a number of other tables. The servers seemed pretty busy, and were actually less than enthusiastic about our arrival. But, they had $5 margaritas. We decided this was worth the wait. Not delicious, but they were strong! AND, they asked if we wanted salt or not, which is always nice. Considering how busy the waitress was, I was kind of surprised at her dedication to getting it right as opposed to just getting it out and getting on with the rest of her tables.
I had the Vegetable Enchiladas ($10). It had a nice mix of vegetables, with more than just peppers and onions. The rice and beans were delicious. It could have used more of a sauce, as it was a bit dry. The salsa was decent, so I'd ask for a side of that to accompany the dish.
We had places to be and were already late, so we didn't get too adventurous with the appetizers or desserts, but I'd go back to this place to try some other stuff. Oh, and the guy with the 2-state rule? He thinks the chefs are Texas transplants. So, there's that.
Hot damn, I love this place.
1. MOLÉ. Holy mole, theirs is on point. If I order a dish that doesn't come with molé, I order a side of it and smother. Savory and tangy and barely sweet.
2. You get what you pay for. Sure, there are trucks up and down Bedford Ave who'll throw a couple tacos your way. But these are carefully prepared with fresh ingredients and most dishes are served with flavorful beans & rice.
3. It's family owned, with a low employee turnover – an I really appreciate that homey vibe.
(Ok, the owner is beyond clinically insane – I've watched her freak out at waiters, bartenders, cooks – she's nuts. But the staff somehow take it in stride.)
I like meeting friends here for a quick bite & a couple drinks before we're off to the concert. Which reminds me…
4. They play drum & bass! =D
Came here with a coworker last night and everything about this place was awesome, from the food, to the prices, to the chill outdoor garden area in the back. They have 5$ frozen margaritas for happy hour special which are very large and delicious. We also got the grilled corn which is 6.50 for 2 ears, and covered in chipotle mayo and mexican cheese- so tasty. The quesadillas were also 7-9$ and very large portion size. The best part was, there were some other patrons leaving the bar who gave us their unfinished pitcher of margs for free!
My friend and I came here on a week night while walking down Bedford and trying to figure out where to go. We saw they had a happy hour and decided to go in for a drink. The happy hour was $4 bottles, $5 draughts, and $7 margaritas, so we opened a tab and hung out for a while.
We got hungry, transferred our tab, and went to sit in the garden which is in the back of the restaurant, and we ordered food. The garden is a cute, fun, small area away from the street which is nice because it's not so loud.
We ordered the steak nachos to split, they were delicious, the only down part to them was that they gave only about 5 nachos. As entrees my friend ordered the wings, and I ordered the tacos (steak & chicken) with a salad instead of rice on the side. Our entrees were great, I loved the tacos.
Kevin was our server, and he was really nice and attentive to us and every other table dinning in the garden. The food is decently priced, and delicious, so you can't beat it. When we got the bill we realized that they didn't give us the happy hour prices for our drinks we got during happy hour, but we didn't say anything about it.
I would for sure return here very soon!
