The servers that work here are sweet and the food is cheap and good. I get my burrito or taco or chimichanga fix and all is right in the world. I somehow trust this place more than the other million similar Mexi-places on the block.
WIll have to try the breakfast, fish and tamales after reading the reviews.
I came back!
I walked into the Antojitos at 11:30am and ordered the whole fried fish. For $10, i got a huge plate of rice and avocado salad with a beautifully fried fish. Eating the fish takes some finesse. It has bones in it. I went at it like a lady and used my fork. When i succeeded by eating Most of the meat, boyfriend used his hands to free all the good meat i left hanging onto the bones.
So, use your hands.
The fish is fresh. Its well seasoned and has a delightful crust on the skin!
Brush up on your spanish. They speak little english here! But I enjoy it because my little spanish and their little english is a perfect place to meet.
They dont rush you, which i like. And while my mother thought I was crazy to order fish for breakfast, it was a beautiful thing! A thing I will be doing again soon!
Perhaps this is a more distinctive restaurant for people with a stronger stomach. I've heard good things in other places about the tripe stews and other delicacies that require ingesting large amounts of boiled organs.
I'm sorry I can't file a report on the relative merits of those dishes, as I'm a wimp. Instead, I've eaten a couple tacos from here, regular ole' carnitas and a meat quesadilla. They were fine, although contrary to popular belief fine isn't acceptable in Brooklyn these days. New Mexico three blocks up is working with better ingredients and a better sense of balanced flavors. A nearby bodega beats these tacos with a very simple arrangement. The fast-casual market is being served by OMG Taco, Blkyn Burro and La Gringa.
The atmosphere is depressingly downmarket with a wide-open dining room adorned with plastic Mexican-esque tchotchkes that came via Mercado de Guangdong.
The prices are cheaper here than the competition, but with the arrival of better places both above and below the establishment, it's hard to see this making into any kind of regular rotation.
