“ I wont say say much... food is ok I ordered me the Mar y Tierra I think thats how is called, the octopus was hard very over cooked, steak was ok. The frozen margaritas were good. Service excellent, very friendly, pet friendly The ambience outside very noisy but we still enjoyed it . I would give it a try again in the summer for another frozen margarita and try some appetizers ”
“ The food was good as before fresh and full of flavor I had the birria tacos and two margaritas the way the bowl is for the consume when she brought it to me it spilled not only on the floor but on my Jeans as well smh I'm outside can't go home to change have to walk around with stains on my jeans which I wasn't too pleased about. For that I didn't tio as I normally do. I will still come back hopefully it was an isolated incident. ”
“ Cute spot, food is not bad. We got the birria tacos, al pastor taco, and carnitas taco. I didn't know the birria tacos would have cheese since the menu didn't explicitly say that. It was okay. The tacos are larger than average which was nice! The al pastor was by far my favorite with small pineapple chunks for a lovely flavor. Would order again. The carnitas taco was pretty tough and plain. I was hoping it'd have a bit of a crisp but it did not. Wouldn't do this one again. Overall, nice spot, great service. Satisfies a taco craving but I wasn't blown away. ”
“ Stumbled on the cute lil'place while on vacay. Place was busy--service was great...and the food was delicious! Thumbs up. ”
“ This taqueria was so delicious, the chips and guacamole were both fresh and tasty, and the birria tacos were some of the best I've had. Seriously, get them when you come here! The frozen strawberry margarita and the frozen piña coladas we ordered were also very good. Service was also great, the staff was kind and friendly. The interior is very nice, great decor and a nice atmosphere for dinner with friends or a date. This place is close to our apartment, and it has definitely become our new go-to! ”
“ Tucked away on a small street in brooklyn lies this Tacqueria. Had a chance to visit late on a Monday night and despite only 2 other tables this had a very homey and warm feeling. The service was fast with a smile and the tacos were even better. Each of the individual tacos were stuffed with meat and I felt more full after 3 tacos here then in most other places. That didn't stop both of us from wolfing these down as quick as possible. The Birria tacos though were the true stars. The broth was so flavorful and will keep us coming back. Definitely check it out if you're in the area. ”
