“Best Latin fusion joint in South Brooklyn“

“Delicioso. Gente amistosa.“

“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.“

“Great Food and Service Fun Atmosphere !“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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“

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

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

“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!“

“Phenomenal Mexican food and a fun atmosphere“

“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!!!!!👍👍👍👍“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 had a great meal wit tasty cocktails here.“

“I'm not a big tostada fan but these were the best I had. definitely try them.“

“Los mejores tacos de Nueva York“

“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!“

“Affordable, fresh, and quality service! The ahi tuna is always really tasty and fresh. Can’t go wrong with their chips and guac/salsa, burrito, or tacos Mexicanos. I do recommend dining there if you’re going to get the nachos to make sure that the chips are crispy. Nachos are tasty for delivery too but nothing beats eating them extra fresh in the restaurant. The aguas frescas are also a must try! Definitely check this spot out if you’re local or order for delivery! The guy at the front is always super friendly and portions are BIG!“

“10/10 it is literally the best. Better than Shah’s, Adels, and Halal guys. This is the best one the lamb is great and so is the chicken. I got a mixed with white sauce and bbq sauce with a little green sauce as well and it smacks. Great service along with great quality and great quantity.“

“Love this place. Came in on a random Saturday night. Delicious guac, amazing nachos. Best salsa I’ve had in my entire life. Friendly, laidback staff. It has a nice atmosphere, but not busy inside. The server definitely made us feel like we could stay and hang out as long as we wanted.“

“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“

“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. ❤️“

“We went here on Saturday and everything was so delicious, we came back for more Sunday... AND Monday. The guacamole was fresh, the al pastor tacos were juicy and flavorful, and the burrito was huge! Rolaldo (absolute legend) even hooked us up with some sweet cafe con leche. Great weekly deals and prices; it is absolutely our new neighborhood spot.“

“Small restaurant near our hotel.
We stopped in for a quick meal.
We had fish and chicken taco and desert.
The food was good but not outstanding. The staff were friendly and helpful. When we went there it was very quiet but had a great ambience.“

“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.“

“We were staying at The Penny, such a lovely experience to have this rooftop restaurant above. We're visited multiple times. Would recommend sunset for sure - the views are very special and made our trip unforgettable. The food at the restaurant is fantastic as a bonus!“

“The best tacos that you can eat is in this place! The real authentic mexican food ?? You can watch all your sports games, of course those from Mexico too!
The owner is super helpful and always makes sure you have a good time ?
Definitely it could be one of your favorite places??“

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

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

“This place rules. Favorite burrito in BK. It's a utility burrito, sturdy - you can eat it with your hands no foil and its heavy you're going to be catatonic after eating it. Quesadilla are also heavy heavy, they do not skimp on the meats, veggies, mushrooms, what have you. Favors are great, salsas are poppin, vibes are welcoming. Thank you Rancho, te amo.“

“I come here almost every week and I’m kind of obsessed with it. The decor is wildly eccentric — there’s an ice cream shop setup that never seems to be active, these indoor-patio-type structures, and a whole bar world in the back I’ve still never explored. You even pay at what looks like a candy-shop counter. It’s just fantastic.

It’s also almost always empty, which I truly don’t understand, because the food is great. The menu is mostly classic Mexican fare, but nearly every dish I’ve tried has some unique little twist that shows they’re really putting in the work.

I’ve gotten pretty enamored with this place. Highly recommend checking it out.“

“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.“

“Awesome tacos great service great margaritas!“

“Looking for good tacos for the longest and finally found them here. Every bite of the pastor, chorizo and asada filled me with joy. The drinks were amazing and the churros were to die for. Please visit this establishment and continue to visit because you won’t find tacos like this anywhere else.“

“awesome menu items great service“

“We love the ambiance! A week later after our wedding we came here to eat. We told genesy how we recently got married and she treated us very well with her customer service and the food . Today we still visit and her costumer service is amazing. The entire staff are incredible and the vibe is out of this world. Highly recommend and please feel free to ask questions when confused about the amazing Mexican traditional food entrees. The entrees are great and FRESH! Gracias por su servicio a todos!“

“The two of us came to eat here. The waitresses were very kind and cheerful. The cocktails were really well made, and both the starters and main courses were delicious. The atmosphere felt very warm and family-friendly. I definitely recommend it!“

“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!“

“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“

“Everything good nice personel good food“
