The Chile Relleno (stuffed pepper) is sooooo good! Super authentic food and welcoming vibes. The F/G train is right outside the door too.

Tucked into a quiet little neighborhood in Brooklyn there are seating both inside and out. Our server was prompt and friendly and happy to talk up the restaurant. I take off points for the food as we prefer vegetable options and there are some on the menu. Unfortunately there aren't any in the kitchen to be served. We were told that they vegetables dishes don't sell well so they don't actually carry vegetables. My wife had a burrito bowl and I had a burrito which basically meant we're both having rice and beans for dinner. We did try the esquites which was very tasty and we would have that again. Basically if we come back to this place it will be for appetizers and not main courses.

It is such a cute spot. Food and service was amazing. Drinks are great and the meal size are big. Definitely worth the money. I would recommend.

The people who work here are very sweet, and the atmosphere is cozy, but there's something missing from the food. I have a feeling it's because they are trying to make their plates "healthy."

I keep hoping this place has improved their food but it continues to disappoint. The queso fundido was a congealed blob with no flavor and the tortillas were stale. The tacos were okay, but for $6 (plus $2.50 for a tablespoon of guac!) I expect a more flavor and freshness.

The food was shockingly bad. Went back once because I’m on the block and wanted it to be a fluke. Hard pass

One of my favorite neighborhood spots. Excellent cocktails and food!
First time eating here. Ordered a burrito bowl with fish. The battered fish was excellent. The other ingredients were yummy too. Staff was helpful and quick to respond. The atmosphere is cozy too. Would recommend!

Every time I come here the service is engaging and so personable. The food has always been very well prepared and arrives quickly. i love the drinks and on a warm day their outdoor space makes you feel as if you're on a vacation. If you have not tried Cena please do it's a hidden gem!!!!
I’ve always enjoy my experience at Cena and the food is good

First of all, the fish and shrimp tacos ? muy bueno. I order a second round of shrimp tacos because they were so delicious, and juicy with tons of flavour. My husband and I paired this with the mezcalita ? ? so good. The service is great, very friendly staff. The music, the lighting and decor compliments it all.

Dinner for two was over $100, and that's without drinks! It's a bit pricey these days to eat out, but close to $7 for one very average taco is a bit much. The services were good and place had a nice vibe.
