A hidden gem, this place is delicious! It's in the back of a super small grocery store with just a couple of tables, but don't let the atmosphere stop you from coming. The owners are really cute and nice, and the food was just superb. Definitely worth the trip down from Manhattan (and really easy to get to), I'll definitely be back!
I found the meat to be tough/greasy and the red salsa to be wimpy. Which is a shame because the guac, beans, pico, etc. were quite nice and I like the funkiness of a working store. I'll return to try some other dishes and see if they can earn another star.
Not a bad place, they just need to find the salt. It's slightly expensive, but you do get a large portion.
I really don't want to tell other people about this place because it is currently a hole in the wall and have amazing food for cheap. To be blunt, I want it for myself but of course I have to write a review of how amazing this place is. The food is so delicious and have a good amount of portion. If this place was close to my house I would be here all the time.
If you see this place from the outside, it pretty much looks like a Mexican grocery store, but don't be fooled because when you walk inside your greeted by the wonderful aroma of food. There are four tables that can sit about eight people, like I said hole in the wall but I don't care. I love eating out for the food, not the ambiance.
Guacamole is on point.
The chicken enchilada, I got the mole poblano is so good!
The burrito is humongous and again so so good!
The flavor is just right, not too salty and seasoned just right. The beans doesn't taste refrigerated or canned and the rice isn't soggy, bland, or too hard. Like I said perfection, but keep in mind don't expect too much from the ambiance.
Such amazing people and food here. I go mainly for limes, tortillas and avocados. They do a decent cafe con leche and are now opening a restaurant next door.
Considering the rapturous reviews, central location and great weather, I was surprised to be the only person at Mexico 2000 for an over an hour as I ate lunch and did some speed reading ahead of a book club meeting.
Without people and with some slightly too loud ranchera playing, the atmosphere was a little lacking. This is also a place where the table comes with empty Stella goblets, guacamole bowls and menus when you arrive. It's overly fussy and no one removed this when I sat down. When the food started arriving, my two plates were crowded out by all of these present as part of a bizarre up-selling strategy.
Although this is a Mexican restaurant underneath a subway line that is attached a bodega. No one comes here for the atmosphere. It's for the food. Chips and salsa at the beginning of the meal disappoint with cold chips and even colder salsa. There's no kick at all to the sauce and chips are definitely not made on site.
Things perk up from there, with a massive $5 quesadilla al pastor. The crema is spread throughout the shell and there's plenty of cheese, pork and pineapple. I also ordered a chorizo taco, which was completely unnecessary. I only made it through a couple of bites, but this wasn't because of the quality of the food.
I was charged $2.50 as opposed to the menu price of $2 for each of my two Diet Cokes. I thought about not mentioning this because of the small amount, but I'm glad I did. The error was immediately corrected (and the difference added on to the tip) with a smile. It was a nice detail, just like when I left, the manager thanked me for stopping in.
I hope they fix the chip situation, because I'm definitely planning on come back to Mexico 2000.
Authentic, family-run, super tasty Mexican eatery in Williamsburg. Highly recommend for a cheap and tasty eat in the hood!
