Cons:

  • "Both the carnitas and al pastor were dry to the point of desiccation."

Atmosphere

Pros:

  • "When I walked in I felt like I had just stepped in an authentic restaurant in Mexico City."
  • "Also the restaurant itself is such a great warm environment."

  • "And I loved the atmosphere and decor of the restaurant."
  • "The atmosphere is very welcoming, it could get a bit loud but that is totally fine because there is inside and outdoor seating."

Cons:

  • "The space was loud and a bit of an echo, so I couldn't really engage in a conversation."
  • "Prepare to use your outside voice as it is a high traffic area and there's music blaring."
  • "It's a little cold inside in January, but definitely worth a bit of frost bite."
  • "The restaurant itself didn't look clean for this area in Brooklyn NY they can do that better than that."
  • "I rated a three because there was nothing to hate (well may I did hate the dimness of the restaurant…and I hated the slightly sticky and dirtiness of the restaurant…but I forgive them for trying to be “authentic” and being in the middle of a busy downtown of Brooklyn)."
  • "The only thing that bothered me was that the cups for the water weren't washed properly."
  • "The superiority complex on the part of the Latin waitresses is IRRATIONAL, the difference in service and xenophobia is clearly noticeable."

Value

Pros:

  • "Great food. Not too expensive."
  • "The food is definitely affordable."
  • "Order as many different tacos separately as you want and fair prices."
  • "Oh, the prices are the secret sauce that keeps me coming here more often than anywhere in Ft Greene."
  • "The quality of their ingredients is very noticeable, it's always fresh and you feel like you got your money's worth."
  • "Prices are right, too, which is rare for good restaurants in this area."
  • "Prices are fair."

Cons:

  • "Good Mexican food at French food size portions with Japanese food prices…"
  • "Only reason I wouldn't rate 5 stars is because the value for money here isn't great."
  • "Portions are small, over priced, somewhat authenticish."
  • "$5.00 for a Taco no never again there are way better tacos in Roosevelt Ave queens."
  • "The proportions are really small and not worth the price."
  • "The prices were slightly high considering the size."
  • "It was a little on the pricey side seeing that the portion sizes were relative to street tacos."
