No notes. Got almost everything on the menu and it was fantastic! Worth every minute of the wait. Great vibes, great atmosphere, great service.

Delicious drinks, great atmosphere, and friendly staff! If you're Mexican like me, or grew up eating a lot of good Mexican food, the price and quality of the tacos will not be for you. But everything else was spectacular

Everything in this place is just PERFECT!
From the cocktails to the food, the service, the music, the salsas, the decor, even the silverware and napkins — everything is on point. Finally, Bed-Stuy has some truly amazing Mexican food!

Amazing food, great service! The flavor profiles were incredible. With no reservations, you can expect a wait, but you can get drinks at the bar or head to one of the great cocktail/wine bars in the neighborhood to wait. Looking forward to coming back again!

this restaurant is a cute concept but it’s really flawed. the cocktail list is longer than the food menu. all they really offer are some appetizers, tacos, and one main dish of the day. i had the Chicharrón meal of the day for thursday. it was basically just soggy chicharrón chips in a green verde salsa. and the rice and beans were not seasoned AT ALL. truly gross. it would be better if they added carnitas to this dish. i will say that we ordered the guacamole as an appetizer and it was REALLY good. i spend a lot of time in mexico, and this was better than any guacamole i have had there. the servers and host was super nice as well. i just think this restaurant needs to rethink their menu. it was disappointing.

Dolores is such a great new addition to the neighborhood! The cocktails are amazing! Super creative, unique, and honestly some of the best I’ve had in Brooklyn. Every drink feels like something new and surprising in the best way. The vibe is cozy and intimate, perfect for a date night. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to again and again!

Just come here for the vibes. The Chile relleno taco was outstanding. But everything else was underwhelming. The ambience is friendly and inviting. But the reviews on the food are not true. $8 for a Carne Asada taco is not only pricey, but the taste doesn’t match the price. I would also skip the Cochinita Pibil tacos, as all the juice is just left on the plate and not coming directly from the meat. The pickled onions in the tacos were pretty good. I’ve come here two times already. Both on a Monday evening after 10 PM as the kitchen closes at 11 PM , and you can just walk in instead of waiting more than an hour. Both times the service has been AMZAZING. But the cocktails don’t deliver. There’s no complexity in the drinks. There’s no contrast or flavors that complement one another. these are drinks that can most likely be made at your local dive bar for half the price (the presentation juat won’t be as nice) . I would go back. But just to get chills relleno taco, I need to try the Aguachile, and they also have Modelo Negra on draft which is always a plus. 3/5 stars

The space is cool and the cocktails were yummy, but the food unfortunately was really underwhelming. Disappointing especially given the price, the wait time, and the positive reviews. You can find much better food nearby

Been here twice in the last month and it is perfect. The drinks are so good and the service was quite fine. The only downside is that the fish option on the menu isn’t allergy friendly. Other than that, loved this place for friends or date. Would not recommend for a family/kids
