Fish taco ftw. The combo of the beer batter (not heavy), mango and the "crack" sauce is delish. Beans & rice also yummy. My friend had the carne asada and was disappointed - was on the dry side.

Angela Hum

The Baja fish burrito bowl was bomb! The fish was perfectly crunchy on the outside, moist on the inside. The fish + mango salsa + chipotle mayo = ????

John Cusumano

Baja fish tacos are slammin. Honorable mention to any of the steak dishes because the steak is that good. Chipotle crack sauce ????Once they obtain their liquor license this place will never be empty.

Megan Gilbride

Mushroom quesadilla is outstanding, love the nachos ! Great atmosphere, friendly servers , nice chill bar , not fussy, great spot!

Jimmy

Friendly staff and good food. I had the Baja fish tacos which were fresh and tasty.

Ross

Cheese grits during brunch were amazing. Also, the fish tacos/burritos were great

Neil Sanchala

Lots of good vegetarian options : the mushroom quesadilla and the chili cilantro fries are great, and the Baja tofu tacos are a nice option when you want to mix things up.

Haven’t been to this specific location but get Calexico burritos and quesadillas pretty regularly in Manhattan. One of the best I’ve found in NYC.

Happy hour is 2 for 1 drinks! Don't be fooled by how easy it is to throw back the house margaritas-- they are STRONG.

Brooke Champagne

The nachos are amazing. Love the quesadillas . Carne fries . Best marg pitcher deal ever (for NYC).

Joanna Flamm

Delicious tortillas , and the crack sauce really is worth all the hype. My breakfast burrito was the size of two infants.

Joanna Flamm

Go with a friend and split a burrito and a quesadilla . Don't skimp on the crack sauce !

The burritos are BIG, tasty and reasonably priced. Service is weak though.

leo kyiv

Very tasty. Friendly attitude. Don’t forget guacamole .

Tanya Barrios

That chipotle mayo with the carne asada quesadilla were a match made in Tex-Mex heaven

Sarah Southerland

Great nachos and strong margaritas . Cute decor too

Leo Kim

Wet burrito bowl is delish. It can also feed a family of four.

Yera Ha

Split the carne fries to start and get a baja fish burrito . Always with extra crack sauce .

Kevin Rickert

Quesadillas are rolled, almost similar to a panini . Tacos are good as well .

jenny rock

pork french fries and the fried fish bowl. then a lot of margaritas .

Ali Sajjadi

Excellent tex-mex. Great service and very family friendly .

Jen Mac

Can't ever fail with crack sauce , but the DUMBO cart is way better! A side salad of sorts with my quesadilla though, that was a nice surprise. Tons of babies and strollers.

Michael

It's all about that crack sauce ! Get the fish taco , you won't regret it

Lara Z

Getting food to go? It's not on the menu , but you can get the agua frescas to go. I recommend the hibiscus . Perfection.

Sam Krasnik

Pork quesadilla and the baja fish are great

Jordan Frankfurt

The sauce. Oh my god the sauce.

Meg Lewis

Highly recommend the nachos and a basil jalapeño margarita .

Stephanie Adams

Best frozen margarita I've had in Brooklyn.

Suki

The original brick and mortar (I think). The crack sauce is as addictive as it sounds.

Lee Frank

This place is so good it is annoying. Just kidding it is not annoying, it is smile-inducing. ????

Thomas Negron

For a vegan option go with the bean burrito without dairy and crack sauce . The veggies in the enchiladas are made with butter.

Stefanie Kim

The stools at the bar are too far away from the bar ! And they are bolted into the ground! But the food is excellent.

Shelly

Excellent wet Baja fish burritos !

Sixx

Blood orange margarita is the best!

Scott Kleinberg

One of my favorite Mexican spots in Park Slope.

Eddie Zaneski

Buy one get one free margaritas during happy hour !

Alastair C

Great food but they'll nickel and dime you. $3 for extra chips for leftover guac , $1 for a tiny extra sour cream portion.

Nyrican Princess

Nachos were "meh" - 2 stars for using ground meat & not chili-in-a-can - & the fish tacos were, well , fish sticks. Yup, nothing spectacular to brag about. Next time I'll troop it up to Ho Brah's Yum!

Brandon

Fish burrito with black beans is a solid choice.

John Woods

Family friendly , but I'd tolerate sneers for their tacos .

Inna G

Chicken Fajitas are great, gauc and chips , and baja taco

Varun Shetty

You absolutely have to get the nachos . And remember to ask your waiter for a gallon of crack sauce .

Ashley Gammie

Lots of space. Great enchiladas . The dishes are cheese heavy so beware!

Saif Dia

Wet fish burrito with the green sauce

Phil Machalski

Best thing about the crack sauce is the name.

justmush

Veganize the tofu taco by request and add guacamole .

Brittany Lannan

Carne Fries are great.. ????

Lina Trifon

Great quesadilla

David Brahler

Burrito with crack sauce on the side.

justmush

Vegan options . Ask to veganize the nachos !
