I’ve loved Cena for years but more recently it’s not as good. Went to breakfast there twice in last 2-3 months and the coffee they served was Instant Coffee! And tasted like it. I asked and they confirmed it was instant coffee said their machine is broken. Charging $5 for instant coffee? No - you just can’t do that.

Great tacos, great indoor and outdoor seatings, very nice staff and good service. Go on a Tuesday for a good deal or a Friday evening for the good vibe.

We had such a wonderful dining experience at Cena Brooklyn! The food was absolutely delicious—every dish was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff made sure we felt taken care of throughout the evening. A perfect spot for anyone looking for great food in Brooklyn. The music playing in the background was a welcomed addition. We Highly recommend!

Nice but expensive authentic Mexican fare with incredible slow and strange service. They brought us the wrong food both times we went. The steak in the tacos is like rubber but the rest of the food was great.

First of all, the food was not bad, but the service was atrocious. We ordered two sodas and an appetizer and 20 minutes later the gal asked if we had ordered the appetizer… we were the only party in the restaurant so who else ordered the appetizer and she never even brought our drinks. Four people for breakfast with no alcohol was $130 before tip. Like I said, the food was fine, not spectacular, but you could do better for half the price somewhere else. And the female server definitely needs to find a new profession where personality is not a requirement.

The food was amazing, I stopped by with my friends. Carlos was amazing with the recommendations. The stake and the flan the best things I ever tasted. It felt like home with the atmosphere. I love when we can go to a neighborhood restaurant and feel like we took a trip to the home town.

The food was so so good but the bill was quite shocking. For a quesadilla, sangria and burrito bowl we paid $80. The cost of adding meats was not readily obvious, we did not realize adding a meat to our order would be like $8+ each. I would go back to try something now that I know the costs because it really was great
