Definitely worth trying if you’re in the city. Every taco I got was delicious. They have 8 or so chairs inside and two tables outside which was nice to not have to stand. I think los tacos still edges it out for me slightly (on some meats) partially due to the option of flour tortillas. But this is incredible in its own right and definitely worth trying for the meats you can’t get at Los tacos. I don’t usually like tripe but it was actually my favorite meat I had there. Incredible. Best tacos I’ve had in Brooklyn greenpoint/williamsburg area by far. Also Melvin at the counter is awesome.

Service is great. Great food, great people here. The pork and steak is good and great with sauces. Meat is so moist and thoroughly cooked. I highly recommend.

Teach the Guys a bit more about customer service. Sad I wasn’t able to use my rewards here because the guy didn’t understand.

I tried their Asada, Suadero, and Al Pastor. The best was probably Al Pastor for flavor profile. But overall the meat was overwhelmingly oily! My tortilla was breaking apart even by just lifting it. Also I found it odd that they don’t have seperate sides of just cilantro or onions, instead only offer a mix of both. Some customers just want cilantro or vise versa. Salsas and tortillas are good though.

Staff was friendly. Dine in is tight quarters, but its NY haha

The food is amazing, the quality of the meat is top tier. I recommend getting Chorizo, Al pastor or Carne asada. I got one of each, they were so good that I ordered a second round of tacos. 😉

I’m Mexican. Amazing tacos top 3 in nyc. Fresh grilled to order always steaming hot. As for the people who say the menu is confusing very lost here. The options are clearly laid out. They’re tacos…don’t think a detailed description is necessary

One of the best tacos I've had in the city, hands down! It's lovely to see molcahetes with freshly made homemade sauces, grilled onions and peppers. I really recommend the salsa, it might scorch a bit on its own but on a taco it adds so much flavor and doesn't burn quite as bad! Fine knife work, quick service, and from what I can tell it's an all Hispanic run business! This place is a gem. It's a small space though, if you get there early you might be able to snag a counter seat or at least a table outside.

The slow cooked brisket (suadero) is probably one of the best tacos I’ve ever had. The meat literally melts in your mouth. This will be a weekly staple for me. They’re so generous with the toppings too. Don’t sleep on this place. It’s the best taco in New York. So much flavor and tenderness.

My favorite food in the whole world is a street taco at any joint with a line in Mexico City and let me tell you… Taqueria El Chato is NYC’s best imitation yet. I personally think it’s better than the esteemed Taqueria Ramirez. SO SO SO GOOD!!!

Brooklyn is better than yours. The tacos 🌮 and the Quesadillas are excellent, savory and meat 🥩 is tender and full of flavor, I love the salsa verde , the pickled vegetables , and the spicy sauce. The spicy hers is real finally 🙌🙌♥️♥️. The vibes are great and the staff is cool, few seats and great 😌 place. This branch is better than the one in MacDougal street. The best tacos in greenpoint.

Photos look better than what they tasted.

Oily and falls apart. I am very particular to meats and seasoning and this was just okay

I had mushroom / the steak and the tripa.

Small space overall / the sides sauces are 5 star . Id give it a try to try it but don’t be surprised if you are disappointed.

Staff is friendly huge plus.

The place to small you have to order on the computer the line is long but moves very quickly except that the people who already order don't move or wait for their order outside so it gets to crowded 😞
