Basic, pretty tasty. Brooklyn is expensive, this place is reasonable in that context. No alcohol!

My meal here was comically bad. I came here with some friends, and after ordering drinks, it took twenty minutes and a reminder to the server to actually receive them, and mind you we only ordered bottled sodas and water. For some reason, my friend who ordered a Diet Coke received a mini bottle, despite all of the other cokes being a normal size, and all of our sodas were close to room temperature. After an hour of being at the restaurant, our food finally started arriving, and it was disappointing to say the least. We ordered 3 appetizers, only two of which came out before our mains, and they were at best mediocre. We ordered the labneh esquites, the bandera, and the baked feta. One of the bandera dips was overly sweet and none of us liked it, and the feta was overly salty and also quite basic considering the price. For mains, I got the fish tacos, and for $15, it came with only two tacos and a literal millimeter of dipping sauce, enough for a singular dip. The fish was severely under-seasoned and the breading was not crispy, making it difficult to finish. Two of my friends ordered the steak and potatoes, and it was horrendous. There was maybe an 1/8 lb of steak on a sea of under-seasoned potatoes, and it was all drenched in a dominantly sugary sauce. This was genuinely so disgusting that none of us could stomach more than one bite. I like the idea of their menu items, but the execution just missed the mark by a mile. I genuinely don’t understand how this place has such a high rating right now.

Lebanese inspired tacos- it’s even tastier than it sounds! I got the one with mushrooms and it’s the tastiest thing on earth!

Unique blend of Mediterranean and Mexican cuisine; the dips were all great and the watermelon salad was very refreshing. Chicken Shawarma Burrito was filling and had all the spices you want but could have used a bit of salsa to add moisture

I had the lamb birria tacos, didn't expect the portion to be so small (you get 2 small tacos for about $20). The taste was alright but definitely not worth the price

Really enjoyed my late lunch here- interesting fusion Mexican Lebanese food in an informal setting. Had the fish tacos, pollo tacos and crunchy tacos, plus the labneh esquitas. The tacos were delicious, only complaint being there was a little too much cabbage. It would be nice to see some different toppings and sauces with each different flavor taco. The lebnah was also delicious, just not enough tortilla chips to finish it off. Great and fast service, and the prices feel about right. Well worth a visit and I will come back!

They perfectly blend the two cuisines. We split the chicken and the lamb burrito. Can’t wait to come back for brunch.

Great little experience with my friend here after a hot day and adventure by the water. It wasn’t crowded, the food was delicious and filling. I got the pescado tacos.

So, so good. Will be coming back. The birria tacos were a major highlight. Great value as well.
