Whether you’re there for a special day or just a fun trip with friends, this place delivers — and then surprises you, in the best way.“

“Small but fresh menu made it perfect for making decisions and also means the food SHOULD be great across the board and they did not let us down.

Calm atmosphere was perfect for intimate gatherings and a focus attention on your party.

The chips and salsa was a great way to start opening the pallet to different flavors paired with
The Amarillos aguachiles which was light, sweet, and refreshing

Tostada de atun was mouth watering, fresh, flavorful and my personal favorite of the night but a tough 2nd pick was the branzino we order which comes with a nice pineapple salsa. The fish was cooked perfectly and also so fresh.

Everything here is fresh and packed with flavor, perfect for hot summer night, light dinners, or parties with friends.“

“If I could eat here for every meal I would-the cocktails, tacos, brunch-everything is pretty good! I walked 30 mins for their Gordita😋extra points for being completely celiac safe it is very pricey though and the quality has lowered a bit since I lived there“

“Phenomenal Mexican food and a fun atmosphere“

“Great Food and Service Fun Atmosphere !“

“Such an incredible experience . Tasting menu was amazing !“

“everything was delicious, atmosphere was fantastic, service was great. Highly recommended!“

“We had our wedding dinner at Panzon-- and it rocked! Could not be happier with how it turned out.

We did a full venue rental and held a cocktail hour followed by family style dinner. David, the owner, was super responsive and helpful planning the menu and event. Staff, service, and food were amazing the whole night. Big recommend!“

“Delicioso. Gente amistosa.“

“Will the food blow you away? No (besides the street corn which is fantastic). And it’s not cheap either. BUT, the vibes are unmatched. My parents used to take me here when I was a kid and there’s just no better place for a summer lunch out with family or friends.“

“I live in Park Slope and for the first time, my husband and went to Alma Negra.
We had a great experience, from the moment we got there the waitress Ashley was so attentive and friendly. We had questions about the menu, she very patiently and with excellent customer service skills, answered all our questions. Her recommendations were excellent!
We had a wonderful time, great ambiance, delicious food, and excellent service!“

“Run, don't walk! Visiting from the Hudson Valley for a day trip, and my wife & I are foodies. With a hungry 10 year old tyrant in tow, we took our son to the park across the street and killed an hour before wearily stumbling into Miatzil.

First off, on a Tuesday to be dead at 6pm is a crime! The Happy Hour here exceeds anything I've ever seen. $18 for 4 tacos & a cocktail (1 of 3 choices.)

The service is friendly & attentive, the food is wonderful & the spice level is up there with some of my favorite Oaxacan venues down in Mexico.

This hidden gem in plain sight deserves all of the love from the Park Slope community.

Much love,
Anton“

“los mejores tacos al pastor!!!!!👍👍👍👍“

“The restaurant is beautiful and the food was delicious!“

“We had a great meal wit tasty cocktails here.“

“I got the brisket taco - gringa style - and loved it!

I was at a bar in Greenpoint, and locals told the tacos were the best in the area! I had to try.

Thanks to the lady in line (maybe her name was Cindy?) who said she recommended the brisket!

Super tender, flavorful, and a good portion!“

“Best birria tacos out there. Amazing consome. Two tacos each and we split a (large?) consome. Reasonably priced - I can’t imagine much else in the area is as affordable. Took about 20 mins after ordering, but we didn’t mind. The guys working the line were putting in overtime. Take out orders continuously pumped out to a never ending revolving door of doordashers. Pretty loud and chaotic but that was part of the fun of it. A few small tables and a small bar-style counter to sit at. Looked like a small market in the store as well. 10/10“

“Real homemade corn tortilla, lots of lime slices offered (which we appreciated🥹); it’s self service and you can choose for example, no onions or another option. Salsa and other sauces are available all you can eat. All in all, this is great honest food.“

“I’m surprised not many people know about this place, I think they need more advertising on TikTok! Loved the vibe, food, view, and service. The view outside was so beautiful, but as it got chillier at night we asked to move inside and they quickly found a table for us. Also, special thanks to Francisco for the service and for taking such amazing pictures of us on my friend’s birthday. Will definitely come back! :)“

“excelente muy aciado buena comida productos del día y hambiente muy agradable .“

“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!“

“Awesome experience that anyone can enjoy the drinks and food, too! The bartender is really good @ what she does! Way to go!🫶🏽“

“Nice vibe, great cocktails, solid food.“

“Los mejores tacos de Nueva York“

“Best Latin fusion joint in South Brooklyn“

“Tried the nachos, tacos and (not pictured) the wet burrito. Get that burrito!!! It was soooo good. Tacos were decent. I loved the nachos. Chips were so so crispy. My friend is vegetarian so we got the veggie nachos and they were loaded up with delicious roasted veg. I cannot stress enough how dang good this burrito was.“

“Sosy is our server and he was sooooo amazing and super duper friendly. We got a tomahawk for 2, fries, and mixed greens and more! It was great experience and it was phenomenal. Everything that we ordered was 10/10. I'm very happy that my husband found this place. We both enjoyed it so much“

“@Todo muy rico 😘😘😘 Amo todo de este lugar“

“So fabulous! Delicious food! Amazing service! If you are any where near Brooklyn, it is a must!!“

“Let me emphasize this, NOBODY and I do mean NOBODY, makes a delicious bowl the way Tacobees do. I live far and order with extra charges through Ubereats because it’s just that good and worth every penny. I get burritos the size of a tiny baby. I should know because I’ve had tiny humans before and those burritos are at least 2lbs or more lol.

The way the burritos and bowls are made, is just so good. They don’t skimp out on anything. It’ll be full to the absolute brim. Their queso and guac is hands down the best out of all other chains (Chipotle, Moe’s and Qdoba.) The steak and honey chicken is just chefs kiss. I love how my delivery is also always warm and the most important part, correct. They just get me and can take my check any weekend!“

“great wait staff.. even better food“

“Très belle découverte. Nourriture excellente et très bon service.“

“Highly recommend Molkajete Restaurant and Bar. Nicely decorated, this Latin American cuisine restaurant has a very inviting, family friendly atmosphere. The food is delicious, and the service is exceptional. I've dined here two times and am very happy with my choice on both occasions. They offer catering as well.“

“We had the deluxe nachos and “beef” birria tacos, which were excellent. The enchiladas mole wasn’t my fav, but it was still good. Another time, I got the breakfast/ huevo burrito, which was great. My partner didn’t love the chorizo burrito, but he’s not a fan of wet burritos. It’s nice to know you had a lot of protein after a big meal. Also the atmosphere is the best. Very cozy. All booths and soft lighting. Updated from previous review on 2025-10-12“

“We came here after my wife’s aunt just passed away and she was about to head home to put down her childhood dog. Server saw her crying and started feeding us shots and didnt charge us for them. Servers are people and they understood our general sadness. 11/10 would come back again just because the service was great, not because of the few free shots.

Food is also pretty tasty.“

“Excellent food, texture, presentation, drinks and service.“

“This is delicious Crown Heights street food. Open late if your ambling home from a bar and need some filling food to put you to bed. Or in our case, wanting a Sunday night 10pm taco after driving 8 hours. We had tacos al pastor and birrierria - EXCELLENT. Fresh little double corn tortilla tacos with the radish and lime. Also, excellent sauces. Loved the green hot sauce.“

“Exelente servicio y la comida muy rica“

“Los mejores tacos de Nueva York“

“Was skeptical about this place at first because I didn't want to pay $5 for one fish taco (shame on me) BUT after tasting it... I was hooked! Especially since they use cod and not tilapia like other places do.
The establishment is authentic and the food tastes like it with really reasonable prices and great food. Now fyi the guac and churros aren't the best by themselves. You should order the guac mixed in and the churros.. I don't know what to advise on that one but hey you might like it.. idk
The agua frescas are delicious especially the watermelon when in season.
I can definitely say try them for that quick casual local neighborhood spot that will satisfy your cravings for Mexican food. ❤️“

“Purepecha was a great experience! The raspberry and blackberry margaritas were amazing! Highly recommend! The bartender was all by himself and not only served the bar, but also the tables and he was incredible! Highly attentive and he make a damn good drink lol. Will absolutely come back next time I'm in Brooklyn.“

“Best service and best Mexican food and to top it off, the best dessert!“

“Came in on a Friday at noon - the interior was welcoming and clean. I ordered the La Callejera and it was delicious! Service was quick and very nice. Portion was big for me - ended up eating half and will be eating other half for dinner. Would definitely come in again. Order total was about 21 for the torta and a Mexican coke.“

“This is the best Mezcal bar I’ve ever been to. The bartenders, especially Eddie, are the best and SO knowledgeable. The cocktails are absolutely insanely delicious - you should trust the bartender. Eddie educated us on various types of liquor and I feel like I came out more knowledgeable than when I entered. Cannot recommend this place enough. The food and the drinks are both PHENOMENAL. Trust it all.“

“Been coming here for over 10 years. Everyone is super friendly. Food is always good!“

“Great food and a homely atmosphere 👍🏻“

“Wow what a great meal! Everything was fast and fresh. I came in and asked for any soup they had. Loved my meal, everyone was so sweet. A great hole in the wall spot- prices are amazing for the amount of food you get. I paid $19 for this and took a lot of leftovers home. I will absolutely come back again. $3 for fresh, homemade tacos and tortillas. You can't beat that. Not a lot of seating tho! But such a casual, family atmosphere- I really enjoyed myself.“

“Three of us stopped by this restaurant for a late weekday dinner, around 9–10 PM. It wasn’t very crowded, and we were seated right away. I wasn’t too hungry, so I ordered a bowl of guacamole served with pita chips and corn tortillas. It was fresh, with onion and cilantro, but nothing special—just a very standard guac. (I’ll admit I’m picky about Mexican food, having tried some of the best spots in Mexico City, so take that as a judgmental note!)

My vegetarian friend ordered an enchilada and was satisfied, while another friend got a cheese fondue-style dish, served sizzling with toppings, which he enjoyed. The ambience was pleasant, and the service was good.

That said, I was hoping for some street-style tacos, but the menu didn’t have them, and the server couldn’t confirm. Overall, it was an okay experience—my guacamole was fine but very basic.“

“If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food, this is the spot! 🇲🇽 The dishes taste just like home — full of flavor and made with love. You can tell it’s a true family-run place; everyone treats you like part of the family. Great atmosphere, amazing service, and real Mexican cooking at its best. Definitely one of my favorite spots to eat with family and friends. 🌮🔥“

“Good, tasty food made fast and served by friendly staff.

Both indoor no-frills dining room and outdoor sidewalk seating are available.

The tostadas are crunchy and delicious, and the tacos are made with soft tortillas with yummy fillings.

They carry Mexican Coke and Sangria soda, among other beverages.“
