One of my all-time favourite places to eat in Brooklyn. The fish tacos and burgers are to DIE for (not to mention the awesome margaritas ).

Angie Sanders

I never get tired of their fish tacos and micheladas ! Spicy mussels/Mexican corn/chopped salad also great. Outdoor seating is especially lovely when the weather is nice.

christian svanes kolding

delightful fish tacos are the embodiment of doing the simple things really well . the 4 AM hot dog is a spectacular beast. kudos to the kale salad . be nice to lena & her staff : they'll treat you well .

Valerie S

Perfect place to have tacos and drink a beer . Chill and easygoing atmosphere. Especially lively during the World Cup ! Great place to watch the games.

Jacky Tran

The spicy mussels and fries are fantastic. Don't listen to that other guy, the service was some of the most attentive I've experienced--and at a casual restaurant , no less!

Nooreen Ismail

Fell in love with the fish tacos . And then again with the chocolate churros . Mm mmm so good!

Matthew Breuer

awesome diner feel, cheap drinks , solid fish tacos

christian svanes kolding

with the departure of ricardo and lena and most of the staff , bruno's halcyon days are long over. such changes translate to a loss of charm and personal touch. the dishes don’t taste quite the same.

Kev Abrams

Everything is awesome, but grab a Tecate and some beer batter fish tacos while you're here - it's the perfect meal.

Sandra Rubinchik

Great neighborhood spot with lots of drink specials and cheap eats.

Mark Graham

You can't go wrong with the Mexico City Style Michelada . Tecate or Pacifico , IT DON'T MATTAH!

Ariel Davis

Amazing quinoa burgers ! So flavorful and yummy. Boyfriend raved about the fish tacos which he said were as good as the ones he had in baja

Lisa Magnino

Burger is great--special grind makes it right! Owner here a lot and clear that she cares. Great addition to the neighborhood ! Long may Bar Bruno live.

loran jonak

Very tasty margaritas . Outdoor seating and dog friendly . Oh, and the tacos are very tasty also

Willy

The mixed drinks are strong and reasonably priced. The Hemingway is a refreshing jolt, and the Dr No is crisp with a nice kick.

Compass

Wash down burritos and avocado-topped burgers with Pacifico and Tecate-spiked bloody Marias and Mezcal house cocktails .

Shane Lennon

friendly , good comfort food and relaxed staff with relaxed service, family friendly . Try the Mexico City Style on a hot day

Will Harahan

Great place to grab a bite and a drink before going to Lucali .

Megan M

Fantastic fish tacos and margaritas (can't go wrong for $5 during brunch !)

Brian Masefield

Frozen margaritas are great (better than the featured cocktails , actually).

Leah M.

Chicken slaw salad is great - get extra cumin dressing and pour it all over!

Graham Gnall

George Best footie themed Mexican joint. Strange but great combo. Good micheladas

Daniel McDonough

Grab a michelada and order the fish tacos w/ rice and beans. Perfect.

Mari-Elizabeth Gómez

It's actually not Spanish style but Mexican. 2 very different countries . Great food, altho pricy , great ambience. Wine list leaves much to be desired.

Gustavo Balestraci

Fish tacos and the frozen margaritas are great!

Mari-Elizabeth Gómez

My all time fav is the fish tacos .... Absolutely scrumptious! The salsa is also A W E S O M E !!

JBM

Great sesame buns . Good taste. Might have to wait a bit for it. But would definitely come again.

Joe Gallagher

Perfect neighborhood joint. Friendly , fast, and full of strong drinks . There's a whole michelada menu.

Daniel Salinas

The fish tacos are all well and good, but carnitas taco is where it's at.

Matt Heindl

No Patrón cocktails on the menu, but they do carry it (and worth the upgrade from Sauza).

Christopher Lee

Fish tacos are awesome here! Friendly and attentive service as well !

Alex Ravenel

The fries are great. Burger was quite nice too--not quite as good as Buttermilk 's, but a welcome addition to the neighborhood .

Jenn Turner

Killer tacos and frozen margaritas . Plus awesome music .

Basak

Tacos are average but they have good margs . Ask for special Patron cocktails !

Matt Heindl

Good tacos ... They come natively spicy , ask for mellow if you are not into calliente

suneel

Great micheladas

Ryan K

Skip the micheladas and get a super tasty Negra Modelo on draft .

Brian Masefield

Great - and super fresh - fish tacos .

Meg Lewis

$5 spicy rim Margaritas for brunch !

Mari-Elizabeth Gómez

BLT is scrumptious, especially with Modelo Negro on a hot summer's day.

Brian Masefield

The grilled corn is a scrumptious bargain.

Tim Crean

Great service, good bloody mary's . Cool joint. A great addition to the 'hood

JC Martinez-Sifre

as of time of this posting: Sundays bucket of 5 Coronitas and Spicy wings -$20

Kit Ingui

Finally a cocktail with jalapeño that actually has some kick!! Get the Dr. No!!

Miguel Lopez

One of the best Bloody Mary's in New York.

Christian Lawson

Food, service and ambience is rather fantastic, and I'm a picky foodie!

Jade Muttamara

Mexican Mocha coffee is yum. The service is always nice and efficient. Their growing pains are over.

Amber Vittoria

Incredible margaritas and wonderful staff .

Jessica W

Burger amazing, fish tacos amazing, don't do brunch

Edith Bellinghausen

Huevos Rancheros + perfectly made bloody mary = heaven
