  1. Great vegetarian tacos piled high with all the fixins. At $2.50 a taco, three can fill you up easily (and cheaply). We went on a gorgeous evening, and with the front windows open it was a great place to sit and people-watch for awhile. Prompt and attentive service as we were the only two people in there, but they seem to do a good take-out/delivery service and handled the orders efficiently. Would definitely go back the next time I'm in the neighborhood!

  2. We're pretty obsessed with this place — it's not one of those date spots to take someone or a place where you'd wanna sit in and eat.. however, it definitely has to be one of the hidden gems of Bay Ridge!

    This is a place you'd call a "hole in the wall" lol — definitely looks like it's based out of somebody's basement/kitchen with a wall separating them from the so called "seating area". Definitely an awesome take out place; quick delivery too!

    The food is I have to say, very authentic; everything they make is very fresh and delicious. We've tried a majority of the stuff on the menu but don't forgo the chips and guacamole with your meal! Although I would love to point out which burritos were most notable, but almost everything on their menu is definitely delicious and worth trying.

    Last time we visited, they were cash only so double check before you call or head over!

  3. The tacos were ok, nothing worth making a special trek out for. They are also on the pricier side for the amount of food you are getting.

    There are a few tables in the dining room, but it's not the most comfortable spot to eat. I wouldn't come back to eat in, but maybe takeout if I were in a pinch.

  4. This place is a hole in the wall, but an awesome find. Authentic and fresh mexican food with friendly and nice owners/workers.

    You don't have to venture to sunset park for authentic mexican food, it's here in Bay Ridge. The price is perfect for the great sizable portion you're going to receive and eat.

    Did I say authentic, from the tacos,  huraches, tostados  etc. The Pico de gallo is so refreshing on all levels. You want spicy, just say it and they'll give it to you.

    Byob. It'll get hot in summer, no ac just fan blowing…so take food 2 go n eat in park.

    I rather be a regular here than ho brah…too over priced there.

    This wil be our new spot when we're in mood for mexican n we're within the area.

  5. Food is still great and reasonable, but I got a long story about a delivery that took well over an hour.  Just stay on top of it.

  6. Got takeout for my boyfriend and I for the first time the other night and it was alright. We got the chicken quesadilla and the steak burrito. My burrito was 8$ and I wound up saving half of it for breakfast the next morning, that's how big it was, and it seemed to be mostly rice and tortilla. It didn't really have a lot of flavor, kind of bland and one noted. We did however love the green salsa, it was the perfect level of spice. Although everything was well priced I found the food kind of forgettable. I'd rather walk to 86th and get Chipotle in all honesty.

  7. This place is a gem within a gem within a hole in the wall. You need a metal detector for authentic taco's if you want to find your way over here. Now, don't get me wrong, I've had GOOD tacos, gourmet tacos, cheap tacos, taco bell tacos, and things that are not even tacos but can be categorized as tacos by most people; but, let's not get into that. This place is: good, cheap, authentic tacos.

    If you want to spend little money and get great food, this place is it. For a bit more than what some Taco Bell will run you, it makes no sense to pass up on the quality.

    Hold up just a minute though folks, today I had a bit of an unpredictable experience. They got a bit busy and I had to do some waiting and some non conventional interaction. The server brought us our menus, but that was about it. I went to the counter to place my order after about 15 minutes of waiting, and eventually got me chips and guac 10 minutes later, and my main course about 20 minutes after that, which was a bit long; but hey, it felt authentic, and that's what counts.

    I like the somewhat derelict old Mexico Taqueria feeling I get in here. I could be the biggest A list celebrity and walk in here and nobody would give a fuck–the kitchen would keep on cookin. My food was delicious, but I'm not going to get into that, since I've already reviewed it before. But, I can say that for the first time I got more guac than I had chips to finish the guac with, and I took SCOOPS of guac with every bite!

  8. A good Mexican eatery has finally made it to Bay Ridge! I usually head over to the Sunset Park area to pick up some good tacos, burritos and the works, but no need to go so far anymore. This place serves up simple delicious food in their open kitchen, no frills. The first time I came here, it was pretty cold outside and my friend and I decided to sit in and grab a very casual dinner. There was only one person working, but he was super friendly and offered to turn on the heater for us, but it was warm enough, so we were fine.

    We ordered some tacos and rice and beans to share. Just like that…I was stuck on their fluffy rice and flavorful beans.The tacos were good too of course, none of that dry meat or oily situation and the ingredients were fresh. On a more recent visit, I ordered a vegetarian taco and a lengua huarache, yum! The food here is consistently good, so I definitely think they deserve a try. Overall, a really good option if you're craving Mexican food. I will be back for sure to check out the rest of their menu! One thing I do have to mention is that there can be a bit of a wait for the food. So try not to go when you're in a rush, you'll just end up hangry!
