50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Brooklyn

“Amazing food and service. 1000% recommend.“

“Delicioso. Gente amistosa.“

“Truly the greatest dining experience you can have in the area. The food is incredible, the atmosphere is so welcoming and inviting, you’ll never want to leave. If you get a chance, Monica is also the best part of the whole experience. She made our night a 10 out of 10 to 11. Might have to come on a weekly basis moving forward.“

“Best Latin fusion joint in South Brooklyn“

“Great Food and Service Fun Atmosphere !“

“I had an incredible experience at The King Of Meat. Everything from the quality of the food to the vibe of the place was top-notch, and it is easily one of the best spots I have come across in a long time. The staff were super welcoming and handled everything with such care, making sure my visit was memorable. I left feeling completely satisfied and cannot wait to come back for another round.“

“First - this food is incredible. Spent a lot of time in Houston, ATX, MX, and other taco strongholds. This is more than on par with the best of all of them. Also, fast and fresh.

Second - customer service at both locations is top-tier, from the leadership to the front-of-house.

I was hesitant to write this because I loathe waiting in lines and fear blowing up a cherished spot (that’s already famous - you get it), but I believe in giving credit and celebrating where it’s due. And here, it certainly is.“

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

“great wait staff.. even better food“

“I really loved this place. It has a nice indoor and maybe an even nicer outdoor area. The staff was very kind too. I came here with a mission. 😎 I’m a huge fan of tripa so of course i tried the TRIPA taco and i chose ASADA too with steak. I really loved both, the textures, the flavours, everything was great. I loved the texture of the tripa tha most!!! Oh and the texture of the tortilla… wow, i loved that too. 😋“

“great tasting food also good service and environment“

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

“The atmosphere is to die for. The waiting staff are so helpful and kind. Shout out to the bartenders for their suggestions.
I got a cocktail called Jarjillo and it was so delicious. The buffalo cauliflower tacos were super crispy and tangy, an absolute must try!
If you're looking to go on a fancy but affordable date, they've got you covered 🩷“

“Riley and Elizabeth did a great job helping us understand the scope of the menu and what we could enjoy based of our dietary restrictions. I can tell the restaurant is well managed and the servers/bar keep that same beat. This is a can’t miss spor“

“Best tacos de cecina, enchilladas suizas and birria consome around. Oh and great micheladas too. Fun ranchera and banda music on the screens all day, nice vibes and friendly staff. A relaxed and authentic Mexican spot for those in the know. They also used to do karaoke on Friday nights, not sure if thats still a thing..“

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

“Best Guacamole i’ve ever had with their homemade chips!!!!! The Braised pork Tostada with green sauce is to die for as well as the chorizo quesodilla! MmmmmMmmmm!“

“I had a great experience here! The service was amazing from the moment we walked in. The staff was friendly, attentive. The food was great too, but the outstanding service is what really stood out. I’ll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend this place!“

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

“Chela was amazing last night! We started with the clear margaritas, and they were definitely a hit. The guacamole tasted so fresh and was absolutely delicious.

For dinner, I tried a trio of tacos. The Arabic taco was my favorite — it came on this soft, almost pillow-like shell and was incredible. The beef brisket and grilled fish tacos were also amazing. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared.

The staff were kind and welcoming, and I really loved the atmosphere and overall vibe of the restaurant. We had such a great experience and will definitely be back!“

“There aren’t enough good Mexican restaurant on the east coast so when you find one as good as this one…you want the world to know. I had the best time at Alma Negra, the food was divine, the cocktails were thoughtful, and the service was on point. Will be back and I’ll tell all my friends!“

“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 food here was very high quality. As there was only one vegetarian option, it was still tasty and amazing to try because of how fresh the ingredients were, the high quality temperature, and the presentation. We got the mushroom tacos and a quesadilla with added pico de gallo, fresh herbs. The quality of the tortilla was fresh, the people were friendly, and the ordering process was smooth through through the kiosk. Since we went in the winter it was freezing but they were nice enough to add a heating fan. The best part about this place and selling point as we all know is the atmosphere. Since the taco spot is a quick eat N go, the keg stands as mini standing tables was very clever and aesthetic. Will come back if I ever am in the area and drunk 🤪“

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

“Stopped by on a lazy Sunday afternoon and ended up enjoying one of the most comforting meals I’ve had in a while. The tortilla soup completely stole the show — rich, flavorful, perfectly thick, and packed with crispy blue corn tortilla pieces in every bite. Honestly wished they had a bigger bowl because it disappeared fast.

Tried the bean & epazote tetelas on the side and they paired so well with the soup. Also shared the black bean avocado tlayudita and chilaquiles — both fresh, satisfying, and full of flavor. The chilaquiles do get a bit pricey once you add the extras, but the taste made it worth it for us.

Came around 2 PM on a Sunday and still found outdoor seating easily, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and unhurried. Great food, warm atmosphere, and one of those places you leave already thinking about coming back to.“

“Nice vibe, great cocktails, solid food.“

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

“I recently discovered this place, and let me tell you—wow! Literally sooooo yummy! The food is fresh and so flavorful, I literally had to call to let them know how good the food was!😭 The churros—soooo fresh and tasty, as well as the teriyaki burrito. 10/10 for me, no exaggeration!“

“This place rocks. Drinks are interesting and really fabulous. My friend and I shared amazing octopus in this rich, beautiful sauce and a stellar guacamole to start. They also served a really wonderful warm salsa with homemade chips. And then we had an incredible molcajete which I don’t have words for. I’ve live in NYC for 18 years and I never write reviews. Hands down best Mexican I can remember in New York. Undiscovered gem. 6 stars“

“Los mejores tacos de Nueva York“

“A Great Cocktail Bar

This is the kind of cocktail bar that gets it right. It has creative, well-crafted drinks and an owner who genuinely loves sharing his cocktail knowledge and expertise. More importantly, it feels like a true neighborhood spot: welcoming to regulars, newcomers, and everyone in between. It’s about celebrating and catering to the community, not gentrifying it. Great drinks, great hospitality, and a place where everyone feels welcome.“

“I never post reviews but I had to for this. I’m from California and find it hard to come by good tamales in nyc. These were SO GOOD, and such an amazing deal. And he made my day with his kindness. I only regret not being a regular sooner.“

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

“Each time I come here, I have a better and better experience! And the first experience was fantastic to begin with!!! Super friendly staff, great value for your money, clean store, fresh ingredients. It’s now becoming one of my favorite spots for lunch! I have nothing but super positive things to say about this place.“

“Went to this place after looking for a place with a good happy hour. Tacos are six dollars guacamole was $12 and the quesadilla was $12. All the food was really good and the quesadilla was like a real quesadilla with great cheese on the inside.

Didn’t use the bathroom so I can’t say how that is

But the atmosphere was cool. It was a small little place helped us get out of the rain. I would go back again for happy hour.

And the guacamole was really good and the chips they gave the guacamole were not tortilla chips like big round chip. That was interesting and I liked it.“

“I was starving and near by and a burrito i knew would cure what ails me.

Got the birria burrito, thing was huge, came with consume and was amazing. Felt like it was made with love. Chips and a coke and I don't need to eat got the rest of the day.

10 out of 10, would totally stop by here again. Not even just because I am starving.“

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

“I ordered take out from here in NYC. I i'm always on the lookout for a great tamale... And these guys did not disappoint. I ordered two types of tamales, both delicious. I ordered their street corn on the cob, delicious. And I had their rice and beans, which we're also great. The food was fresh, delivered hot, and so so good. Look forward to my next business trip so I can order from them again!!“

“I’ve seen the Instagram post and I’ve saved it but completely forgot about it since everything I save I tend to forget about; until this restaurant was introduced to me by a friend. Since then, I’ve returned 3 times in two weeks. I can’t wait to go back. Special thanks to Antonio, for my unforgettable meals.“

“Food was delicious. Cocktails are excellent and inventive. Will have to come back on a weeknight, because at around 10pm on a Saturday, this was probably the loudest dining room I've ever been in, to the point of painfully blocking out any possibility of conversation. Don't get me wrong: I expected a crowd on a Saturday night, and I'm glad the place is packed!“

“Amazing local Mexican spot. I’ve ordered through Uber Eats before and LOVE their enchiladas but I came in person today and it was a great experience. I ordered a “walking taco” along with my usual enchiladas and OMG, no words to describe how delicious that was. We even walked out with a free drink that was a mix of Jamaica, Tamarindo and bit of their natural green tea. LOVEEEDDD it here, definitely will be returning.“

“So let me say this - truly a gem of a place. The people were actually some of the most friendly people ever, walked me through all the sandwiches and explained everything and made it super accessible for me to still enjoy the full experience even though i did takeout, for the price it is an INSANE amount of food and the sandwiches themselves are delicious, i had always passed this place and glad i stopped in because it really is worth it. Such a wonderful place with delicious food cannot recommend enough.“

“really good food,nice place“

“Social distancing on point nice out side area to accomadate. Food was really good.“

“first I learned about it it was a flyer place in our mosque in our neighborhood Pawtucket Rhode Island it turns out it's across the road down the street so we went there two nights ago nowhere to what to expect first impression spacious well lit well designed clean and smelling good right at the start you come closer to the counter very friendly faces eager to please you colorful fresh ingredients and lots of flavor so we'll be back specially this coming Saturday May 9:00 for the special and other goodies thank you for doing that good luck to you“

“We had the best time! Truly a 10/10 experience.

A huge thank you to the elNico team for making my son's Baptism celebration a flawless and fun event. Everyone was raving about the food, the drinks, and how beautiful the space is. We hope to be back soon :)“

“Was passing trough the neighborhood and found this gem online! It's a nice sized space not large or very tiny. It did start to fill up as we dined. The server did a great job with recommendations! She even informed us that they extended happy hour which included apps until 4pm that Saturday. Overall food was delicious and I will definitely be back. Loved their style of my favorite dessert tres leches cake!“

“Exelente servicio y la comida muy rica“

“Awesome family run business with excellent customer service! Come here and eat and drink!“
