the cucumber margarita is delicious and refreshing. The food has amazing Flavors. I had the steak and egg platter, skirt steak was cooked to perfection. The ceviche was really good too.

Emily Kolodner

house marg is delicious - if you want something a little different, try the margarita de pepino (cucumber ). still mild, but a fresher taste. mixed salad was great, tacos are a must.

Daniel Miller

Fish Tacos are great. They make the tortillas in-house, which sets off the flavour of the whole dish!! The Barbecoa lamb rump was an Arc-De-Triumph ???????????????????????????????? (the picture is the Lamb )

PureWow

You love beets in your salad , so why not in your marg ? This downtown joint mixes tequila , lime juice , beet juice and simple syrup to create its signature cocktail : the Margarita de Remolacha. Read more

Matthew Breuer

seasonal dishes always deliver , every taco is top quality & toronja picante is the best drink on the menu

Hartje Utrecht

The best meal we had during our trip. I love Mexican food and the people here do to. Amazing tortilla chips with salsa . We ordered the taco's and churros as a dessert . Absolutely no regrets.

Jenna Odett Laskin

A new favorite. Super friendly staff , amazing outdoor patio , and killer tapas . Loved the fish tacos , scallop ceviche , sirloin tostada , and torta ahogada . Tasty margaritas too.

Compass

Sip mezcal and tequila cocktails , tuck into spicy small plates , and take in the Dia de los Muertos-themed decor and back garden , all by the owners’ travels abroad and the Mexican street food scene.

Teeker Kaj

I had other tacos &they were okay. I brought a Verduras home (Seasonal vegetables , caramelized onion , toasted pepitas, queso de cabra, micro greens ) and ate it cold out of the fridge . Blew my mind.

Ariel Davis

Carnitas tacos are sublime! Portions are pretty small so you'll definitely want to order a few. Chiles rellenos and scallop dish (ceviche style) were also fantastic and incredibly flavorful.

Suraj Savalia

Love the garden in the back during the day or for dinner . Service could use some improvement but food and unique margaritas are great.

Frankie Buckle

Fantastic brunch - Mexican twist on the usual brunch offerings. Order the large guac to share before as portions are not huge. Perfect amount of choice, also for vegetarians . Cocktails were awesome!

Sam Gil

Al Pastor was really good, but $22 still isn’t cheap . Queso rajas was great. Ribs weren’t worth price and tacos bit small. Outdoor vibe is really nice. Picanta & Oaxacan best margs .

Michelle Wendy

This place is fantastic! The servers are totally on their game even on Halloween night. This place is themed Dia de Los Muertos and I can't wait to come back til Nov 2nd to get the full experience!

Gabe Banner

Second time here - got mole , scallops ceviche and black beans . All banging. Such a good vibe in this spot. Sit at the bar . Also- keep the aguachile sauce for the rest of your meal. Super good.

Anja Maerz

Great food, great cocktails , great service. Ask to sit outside - they have a nice patio with a good mix of Mexican music , from traditional to hip hop ;)

Santi Amaya

Great spot for a fun summer night dinner . Sit in the courtyard , order the spicy grapefruit margarita , the guava margarita , and any of the tacos on the menu

Time Out New York

This lively eatery pulls in Brooklynites looking for both homey abuela standbys (rich, cilantro-nipped guac ; fragrant pozole verde) and palate-expanding fare (tongue tacos , duck-leg tamales ). Read more

Stina P.

sit in the backyard . same owners as colonie. order any of the quesadillas . the guacamole is unreal and some of the best I've had in nyc. the margaritas are also unbelievable

Caila Quinn

Beautiful ambiance, the food is just ok. Not much flavor... came for brunch and the huevos rancheros , ceviche , & guacamole all need lime juice . Was rooting for this place since the backyard is so nice

Jackson Isaacson

Great margaritas , a beautiful garden area to eat in, and excellent (but small) tacos . Try the spicy grapefruit margarita !

Whiskey

Aside from the guacamole and the fish tacos , the food has always left me wanting. Thankfully, the margaritas have not and the gran margarita and pepino are stand outs. Sit in the garden if you can.

Eric Hines

Sit outside in their back patio if it's nice outside. Brisket , chicken and carnitas tacos are all very good. Bartender Jackson is very good and friendly .

Stephany

Get a spicy grapefruit margarita and all the tacos to share. The carnitas taco was my fav.

Michelle Wendy

Get that Remolacha margarita to get a little romance going on. It's a beet juice cocktail which is all kinds of good for the ♥️-improves circulation, purifies blood, strengthens, etc. plus the boron????

Harry Raymond

Gorgeous venue with tasty guac . Good for groups or a date.

Basak

Killer cocktail menu . Get Ay Papi - tequila , pineapple juice , tamarind , lime , jalapeño with a smokey twist. Very original flavor.

Peter Scordo

Some of the best al fresco dining in NYC. Generously portioned guacamole for the value. Freshly made chips too!

Nathan Gammie

Guacamole is a must-have appetizer ; then top it off with some tacos and enchiladas . Solid drinks menu, too!

Hilary Cramer Robinson

Going to miss you a lot when I move, GE. Fish and tongue tacos , quesadillas , scallops , crabs are my fave. Best food in DUMBO -- by far.

Elvis Rodricks

Chciken tacos were good. The outdoor patio is very enchanting - almost under the bridge with with large trees hovering over you and wall covered plants.

Erika Perzi

A long-term favorite, great queso , delicious fish tacos and cocktails . Outdoor patio is a must, It's absolutely gorgeous!

Sonal Adhav

Super chill vibe. Loved the "hidden" garden at the back. Had the ceviche , carnitas tacos and the Pescado Al Horno.

EatMeDrinkMeNYC

If you walked here over the BK Bridge ;and if you waited what seemed like an eternity for a seat: have the rajas and pescado estilo ensenada tacos and everything will be right with the world.

Geoffroy Bablon

Enjoy delicious spins on a margarita - try the Ay Papi with tamarind , funky - and great food to pair. The carnitas tacos are especially good.

Pauline P

Loved everything- the ambiance, the food, the drinks. The pork belly entree melts in your mouth. And that churro ? Perfection.

Freda Moon

The beet margarita was earthy and refreshing. Really good. Fish tacos were fried, Ensenada-style, with shredded cabbage . Just the way I like them. Chorizo-papa quesadilla was mushy and bland.

Rosaline

The fish tacos tasted too much of the beer batter , and the corn on the cob was burnt. However the spicy margarita was delicious. Don't know if I'll be back for dinner but may try the brunch .

Julia P

Spicy margarita (Margarita de Toronja Picante ) is the best I've tasted in the city . It's HOT, tart and amazing.

Stacey Herron

The margaritas are so good I had 2, & I never do that. The grapefruit/jalapeño number lives up to the hype. Our table liked the guacamole & outdoor patio , but were not blown away by the main dishes.

Keith Wood

Great service and food. Be sure to ask for the real hot sauce though. Carnitas tacos and habanero margarita are musts!

Basak

Guac comes in a tiny bowl but it's delicious with fresh spicy red pepper on top.

Barry Wacksman

Great! Guacamole , fish tacos , carnitas tacos all terrific. The salsas that come with the tacos are delicious, especially the spicy one.

Serious Eats

The tortillas are pressed in-house and the cocktails change with the season at this Mexican restaurant owned by the folks behind Colonie.

eric bornemann

Good Mexican food and nice outdoor back garden . Nice place for a weekend afternoon margarita .

DoubleDeuce

The food here is damn good. And I'm not saying so because I drank a 32oz Corona Familiar because they also messed up my credit card charge & I was mistaken for a blind-date hipster . Still, great food.

This 60-seat Mexican restaurant is now open in Dumbo. Chef Sam Richman (an alum of The Fat Duck and Jean Georges) will focus on regional dishes such as sweetbread-and-tongue tacos . Read more

Chel Castel

The guac isn't table side so it wasn't as good as other places. However, they probably have the best salsa I've had. The food wasn't bad, best thing we had was their squash blossom tostada special.

Moni BellaFonTella

I was not impressed. Sorry.. Too much lime in the guacamole and not so amazing fish tacos . Location is everything I see. Great presentation though! Extremely long wait between appetizer n main course.
