Bar Bruno is one of those spots you almost don’t want to tell people about because it really feels like a hidden gem. The tacos are seriously some of the best I’ve had in the city. They are super flavorful and fresh without being overdone. The vibe is laid-back and fun, with great old-school music playing in the background that makes you want to hang around a little longer.
Prices are also really reasonable for the quality, which is a huge plus in NYC. Overall, it’s just an easy, go-to spot if you’re craving good tacos without the pretense.

I bought takeout from them in the form of a steak platter.... and let me tell you something - they're giving you steak for real. Their Grilled Pat LaFrieda Skirt Steak is incredibly delicious and generously served. If I were to take a guess, I'd assume it was at least 8 ounces. I was not able to finish the thing. I just put the rest in the fridge and I'm gonna fry some plantains and have the rest of it tonight. I'm kind of in disbelief, because I've been eating grilled steak since I was 16 and I've never enjoyed one this much. It is almost as if they made this entrée with the expectation to exceed mine. They've certainly made me happy; I am wholly satisfied. Whomever is reading this, go ahead and order that steak my friend. It's going to put you on your ass.

The food is good, but shamefully overpriced. The add-ons quickly cause a burrito to cost more than $25. There's an extra charge for everything.
However, the food is good so we keep coming back. I'd recommend the burrito, ceaser salad and (almost $20) queso.
The seating outside is also nice. It's a solid neighborhood staple.

Casual, neighborhood bar and restaurant serving solid Mexican and drinks. Lively atmosphere, and it can get a bit noisy, but on off nights it has a nice calm vibe.
Have eaten at bar Bruno for nearly 15 years. Owners are lovely but staff is meh. Everytime I order online they forget to include items and then when I call leave me on hold forever and insist it’s in the bag. Exhausting. When there food is slow and service is bad but food is good

The cooks really know what they're doing. their mahi mahi fish tacos are the best and the staff is really friendly. hard to imagine ways to improve such a place.

Nice layout and comfortable corner restaurant. Service was medicore - not bad and not good - just doing his job with a smile. Food was decent. Guacamole was fresh & hearty but bland. We had the fish tacos and the carnitas tacos, both of which were decent. No salsa to speak of, which is typical in western Mexican restaurants. With lots of restaurant options, would not return here.
Delicious drinks, reasonable prices!
