El Kucho Mexican Restaurant
“It is also BYOB, which definitely adds a major plus with there being a deli next door where I immediately bought a six pack of pacificos.”
“The tacos arabes are excellent but you really can't go wrong with anything here.The best part is that you leave feeling satisfied but not stuffed and heavy and greasy like some Mexican food joints.”
“Also, the CCQ Beef Burrito is fantastic.”

Best Mexican food in Bushwick! I love this spot! It's a newly opened Mexican restaurant decorated with a Brooklyn flair. First off Frida Kahlo is my favorite artist. I walked in and saw a giant mural of a modern version of Frida and smiled.
I had the torta de pollo and loved it! It was delicious with avocado inside and some jalapeño peppers. Freshly made ingredients and taste.
The restaurant itself is named after the owners son, an adorable toddler that you might see walking around from time to time.
This place is BYOB and the prices are cheap for so much food! It also has free wi-fi! Yes, please! I would highly recommend this place if your looking for authentic Mexican food. I will definitely return.
Great Mexican food. They even make the tortillas on site!

We wanted Mexican food. We didn't know what we would be getting into as I've read reviews from all over the neighborhood regarding other restaurants and their lack of authenticity but this place is definitely a must!
Walking up to the counter we were greeted from behind. Turning, we encountered a nice young man who I can only assume is the owner. He quickly seated us, gave us menus and our own carafe of water.
We took into account a Yelper's recommendation of the Texas CCQ (Chile Con Queso) and ordered that for our appetizer. The man was pleased and this is how we found out he was from Texas, y'all!
We also ordered a veggie enchilada and three veggie tacos. We wanted horchata but he said he did not have any made at the time but offered us a variety of glass bottled Mexican sodas.
While we waited we looked around and talked about how extremely neat and clean the restaurant was. Even the front patio was neat and well taken care of.
Whomever was ranting and raving about the CCQ: yes, it's good but it's not amazing. Usually chile con queso is a little more soupy. The owner-man said it was made of velveeta. I'm sure over time they'll perfect the consistency. Regardless, it was tasty.
The enchilada is huge. It was like a huge taco. I took a picture of it next to a fork for scale. It was similar to our tacos in that it contained most of the same vegetable ingredients but that didn't stop us from wolfing it down. The tortilla was homemade (YES!).
I really liked that the fresh veggies included cauliflower which is not common. The tacos and the enchilada were well seasoned. The tacos came doubled up (two tortillas) as real street tacos do.
I recommend this place to anyone who likes Mexican food. It is also good for vegetarians and vegans (leave off the cheeses). The owner-man also said they were in the works of perfecting their red and green sauces, both of which were absolutely delicious! I can't tell you which I liked more as I put them both on all of our food selections.
The staff is friendly. The price is just right. The atmosphere is neat and clean, and the food is authentic!
