“Such an incredible experience . Tasting menu was amazing !“

“So fabulous! Delicious food! Amazing service! If you are any where near Brooklyn, it is a must!!“

“Excellent food, texture, presentation, drinks and service.“

“everything was delicious, atmosphere was fantastic, service was great. Highly recommended!“

“I’ve been eyeing this place for a while and excited to go: it’s extremely cute, the ambiance and staff are great, the atmosphere is nice overall.
Unfortunately, the prices and the food you get do not level out: the prices are high and portions are small, as someone already mentioned, expect to walk out hungry with a $100 check per person if you skip desert.
I might come back for the bar happy hour but the dinner was underwhelming solely because of how little you get for the price.“

“I always enjoy stopping by for happy! The food and drinks never disappoint!! We had the steak, Al Pastor and shrimp tacos. We also had the paloma and classic margaritas. Everything was delicious. We also ordered their chicken taquitos, a must!“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants in all of NYC. I go about once a month before or after catching a movie at the Regal Essex, which is just two blocks away. The food and drinks are great, the the food is terrific, the prices are totally fair, and the staff are all super friendly. It's also easy to reserve a table, so please ignore this great review because it needs to stay a hidden gem!“

“The restaurant is beautiful and the food was delicious!“

“Nice cozy neighborhood spot good for drinks and appetizers and food great ambiance“

“The loaded fries are amazing reminds me of my home town California has some of the best Mexican foods and this make me feel so close to home foreal… I think I order these at least twice a week eventually I’m going try something else because I know it’s good well I have tried their churros and those was really good“

“Dos Toros has been my favorite fast casual Mexican for over a decade. The food has always been excellent. Further, nobody makes a tighter burrito. Shoutout to Jada today who made my burrito and perfectly! I didn’t lose a single grain of rice!“

“I was starving and near by and a burrito i knew would cure what ails me.

Got the birria burrito, thing was huge, came with consume and was amazing. Felt like it was made with love. Chips and a coke and I don't need to eat got the rest of the day.

10 out of 10, would totally stop by here again. Not even just because I am starving.“

“I have to deduct one star for having QR-Code-Only menus for brunch (more on that below), but otherwise this is a fantastic spot that I can't recommend enough.

Came here for brunch with my wife over the weekend while our car was at Pep Boys, and we dined at the bar. The bartender was extremely attentive and the food and drinks were delicious.

The only hiccup is that they don't have printed menus for brunch (or for many of their cocktails). This is annoying for a number of well-established reasons:
1) I come to a restaurant to get away from screen time, please don't make me get onto my phone
2) What happens if someone in the party doesn't have a phone? My wife didn't bring hers — see #1.
3) On a phone screen, menus are tiny and annoying to navigate.

The bartender was kind enough to loan us his phone so that we could order, but this was embarrassing and awkward and the restaurant shouldn't have put the bartender into the position of needing to hand his phone over to the guests.

Luckily this was the only hiccup of the day!

I don't drink alcohol, and was quite happy to discover several zero-proof spirit options behind the bar — though ultimately I asked the bartender if he could make a michelada with Tamarind Jarritos, and he did. This was a spur-of-the-moment idea for me, so I was absolutely thrilled when the bartender accommodated my weird request — and the drink turned out delicious!

My wife got a standard beer michelada, which was also tasty (I had a sip).

From there we had a breakfast burrito and chilaquiles, and both were just stand-out dishes, delicious. Food arrived quickly. Staff was incredibly friendly, and just so attentive.

In 2026 it often feels like responsive restaurant staff is a thing of the past, but that's obviously not the case at Chela.

If they just had optional printed brunch menus, this place would be perfect — and given how great everything else was, we very well might endure the QR-Code annoyance again soon.“

“Esse Taco keeps things simple, and it works. I tried the chicken taco — juicy, well-seasoned, and served on a fresh tortilla that held everything together nicely. The flavors were balanced without being overcomplicated, letting the quality of the ingredients stand out.
The space is small and casual with mostly standing tables, but service is quick and the focus is clearly on the food. A solid spot if you’re looking for a straightforward, well-executed taco.“

“Ive been coming here since it opened, the food is very good and its good for both large groups or if you just want to sit and have a beer and and a couple of tacos. I recommend the tacos gobernadores and if you’re here for brunch the enchiladas jarochas are great.“

“The music is always on point. Come on a sunday if you are into Karoke, it is a vibe.“

“I don’t really leave reviews but I had to for this amazing little hole in the wall. I am Mexican and it’s been extremely difficult to find authentic Mexican food in (North) Brooklyn. This spot fully delivered. We ordered the birria quesadilla and the Al pastor chicken bowl with horchata and Jamaica water. Everything blew our mind away! From the meat, to the salsas, and the smaller details like the handmade tortilla and seasoned rice, this place will be my go to moving forward. I’ve tried every single Mexican restaurant in fort Greene so imho don’t waste your time anywhere else (especially the burrito restaurant a block away that’s really popular with the unseasoned crowd IYKYK)“

“Visiting from out of town and stumbled across this swanky little place. I was alone so decided to sit at the bar. Was happily greeted by staff and the food was amazing. Beria tacos were so yummy and full of flavor. Bartender made me an off menu mezcal old fashioned that was very good. Had a great time! Wish I lived closer because I’d be a regular!“

“Great place! I went for brunch and got myself some chilaquiles and a michelada, the perfect hangover combo.

The chilaquiles were the real deal, like the ones I had in Mexico, perhaps a bit spicy, but that was part of the experience. Buenísimos.

Shout out to Beto at the bar too. He’s such a friendly guy.

Now I need go back for some mezcalitos.“

“Where do I start? The food was on point. The tacos have a hearty feel to them. They dont fall apart and the flavor melts in your mouth. The appetizers are all good. They all pair well with the drink selections. Signature drinks are well curated and thoughtful. The ambiance is bring a friend, a date, some friends and come have a good time. Hospitality is top notch and professional always. I would definitely be back for another night on the town. Thank my cousin for suggesting this place. Cantina 138 needs to be put on the map!

“One of my favorite place to grab lunch during lunch break. Usually like their burrito bowl. Like the food but front cashiers behavior is not nice. All the time they make faces as if they are tired and not at all welcoming.
Need to work on that.
Thanks“

“Exelente servicio y la comida muy rica“

“Awesome family run business with excellent customer service! Come here and eat and drink!“

“Stopped by on a lazy Sunday afternoon and ended up enjoying one of the most comforting meals I’ve had in a while. The tortilla soup completely stole the show — rich, flavorful, perfectly thick, and packed with crispy blue corn tortilla pieces in every bite. Honestly wished they had a bigger bowl because it disappeared fast.

Tried the bean & epazote tetelas on the side and they paired so well with the soup. Also shared the black bean avocado tlayudita and chilaquiles — both fresh, satisfying, and full of flavor. The chilaquiles do get a bit pricey once you add the extras, but the taste made it worth it for us.

Came around 2 PM on a Sunday and still found outdoor seating easily, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and unhurried. Great food, warm atmosphere, and one of those places you leave already thinking about coming back to.“

“Great food and a homely atmosphere 👍🏻“

“Taqueria El Torito was a great spot with delicious food, fun drinks, and a really cool atmosphere. The presentation stood out right away, from the clay cup cocktails with the spicy rim to the branded burger bun and rustic serving boards. The shrimp taco was fresh and flavorful, with bright peppers, herbs, and lime that made every bite pop. The burger and fries were also excellent juicy, filling, and served with a nice crispy side of fries.
The vibe inside was warm, lively, and full of personality, with fun décor and a cozy bar setup. The drink menu had creative signature options, and the cocktail El cantarito I tried was refreshing with the perfect spicy kick. Overall, Taqueria El Torito is a great place for tasty food, good drinks, and a memorable night out. I’d definitely come back.“

“Quite tasty and well-priced, salads are $10-11, the tamales are good as well as the breakfast sandwiches 😀“

“I have been coming here for the past 8 years or so. The food is amazing, it’s been consistent every time I come. The staff is attentive and make sure their guests are doing well and continuously asking if we need anything. I love their drinks, I’ve had mojitos, margaritas, etc. Lorenzo always welcomes my friends and myself with a smile and amazing energy. The atmosphere has progressed overtime and keeps getting better. I highly recommend coming to visit hungry burrito for delicious food, great drinks, and a great time.“

“Legitimately some of the best chilaquiles I've ever had! Just the right amount of spice, plenty of sauce, perfectly cooked eggs, some tortilla chips crispy and some soft. Absolutely delicious, as were the rice and beans served with it! My waitress was super sweet and patient, and the decor in the restaurant is cheery and fun to look at. Will definitely be back whenever I'm in the area!

ETA: Also, prices were super reasonable. Chilaquiles with two eggs, rice and beans included, was 14 bucks. Also got a limonada and total with tip was around 22 dollars. So worth it!“

“I absolutely love coming here! The food is always tasty, they have a great happy hour and the margaritas are perfect and not too sweet. I’m especially a fan of how flavorful the rice and beans are, which can be pretty flat at many other places in my experience. They make their sauces in house which makes them stand out as well. This is where I bring friends who come and visit and it’s always a hit!“

“this restaurant's food quality is too good“

“Very good food Excellent Tequila selection Sangrita yum! All kids enjoyed the meal too.“

“I came here with my mom and my sister after the spa, it was a nice place to finish the night. We got chips and salsa, aguachile, and I opted for a steak burrito. The food was excellent, however the portions are small, so if you are looking for a main course, get something larger. My sister ordered an appetizer and was still hungry later.“

“I ordered the 3 piece fried chicken,cole slaw and biscuits.Overall the food was ok.The chicken wasn't the juiciest and didn't have much flavor.The coating was fried dark but little to no flavor.
The biscuits were ok but I didn't see option for butter or honey.The slaw was basic.“

“Everything good nice personel good food“

“Fantastic authentic flavorful food“

“I did enjoy the food at Hellbender, but the service could have been better.
We were among the first guests seated, yet it still took about 5–8 minutes for our server to notice us and bring water.

The portion size of aguachile is quite small, considering the price. The Brussels sprouts lacked flavor.

On the positive side, the empanada was amazing, as were the mushroom tacos and fried cheese.

Update: The brunch menu is so good and tasty. The service was much better than our previous visit.“

“Great service The food is excellent I really enjoyed it“

“love the coconut Margaritas and empandas“
