Got take out and was severely disappointed in the food quality and size for the price. The shredded chicken in the tacos and small enchiladas was dry, overcooked, and totally unseasoned. The sauces were ok but everything was still very bland and small in portions. The rice was good and included corn, a tasty surprise, but not a dietary friendly one and should have been stated on the menu. The refried beans were also sad and bland. We finished the food hungry but unsatisfied. Overall, it felt like a mistake that I don't plan on making again. Extra disappointing because the inside and drinks look good, but now I have no desire to dine in either. I'm confused because there are so many good reviews, but that didn't at all match our experience.

Absolutely amazing restaurant! The drinks are delicious. The frozen hibiscus margarita is my personal favorite. Been back multiple times cause the staff is so friendly, Freddie is the best, and the atmosphere is great.I’ve had the taco salad and the enchiladas both have been delicious and you get a lot of food for your buck. My partner got the brunch special and he throughly enjoyed it.Happy hour deals are good too! Can’t recommend this place enough.

When you order a frozen marg and it’s the size of your head — that’s worth $15! Ordered the Huarache and Tacos and both tasted fantastic. Overall a great spot for a casual, fun night out.

Pleasantly surprised!! Only open for a few months and it was such a nice experience. The owner, Matthew was a sweetie as was Freddie and James. We each had the fajitas that both had plenty of accoutrement! Beautiful decor. 10/10 would recommend.

Amazing margaritas! Enjoyed both the tamarind and the passion fruit. Very high quality ingredients.I also recommend the nachos and the shrimp fajitas.

The service, food and ambiance was great! Hats off to the waiter and host! We sat at a high table by the bar and it was good, except for the rowdy people at the bar.

Service is fantastic. I ate here with my son, he's vegetarian and I don't eat dairy or meat. I say this because while our meals were not bad, they were lacking flavor. We think maybe this is because most of the flavors in their entrees come from the meat? Salsa trio had no "spice," and maybe, since it's Tex Mex, it wasn't supposed to. Son said the salsa was, in fact, "jam." We did ask for hot sauce, which my son thought was good, a local brand of habanero. I'm not a habanero person (I like regular Cholula), so I can't comment.
Came in randomly looking for a place to watch the boxing match. They didn’t have it but I was hungry and decided to stay for dinner and a beer. The bartender Maggie gave a great service from beginning to end. Seems that the place is new and they’re starting from where TILTZ left off. I would highly recommend it.

I love it, it’s so nice having a Tex Mex restaurant in Brooklyn, feels like home. The enchiladas and nachos are perfection. We’ve been a few times, and the whole staff is really nice and fast. The rice & beans are vegan, and they’re very good at accommodating with vegan enchiladas! We even did a big catering order for my son’s birthday party. Fantastic!
