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.
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.
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 )
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
seasonal dishes always deliver , every taco is top quality & toronja picante is the best drink on the menu
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Love the garden in the back during the day or for dinner . Service could use some improvement but food and unique margaritas are great.
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!
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 .
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!
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.
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 ;)
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
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
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
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
Great margaritas , a beautiful garden area to eat in, and excellent (but small) tacos . Try the spicy grapefruit margarita !
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.
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 .
Get a spicy grapefruit margarita and all the tacos to share. The carnitas taco was my fav.
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????
Gorgeous venue with tasty guac . Good for groups or a date.
Killer cocktail menu . Get Ay Papi - tequila , pineapple juice , tamarind , lime , jalapeño with a smokey twist. Very original flavor.
Some of the best al fresco dining in NYC. Generously portioned guacamole for the value. Freshly made chips too!
Guacamole is a must-have appetizer ; then top it off with some tacos and enchiladas . Solid drinks menu, too!
The margarita de toronja picante is the best margarita in NYC, making our list of "The Tastes That Make the City : NYC Edition." Read more
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.
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.
A long-term favorite, great queso , delicious fish tacos and cocktails . Outdoor patio is a must, It's absolutely gorgeous!
Super chill vibe. Loved the "hidden" garden at the back. Had the ceviche , carnitas tacos and the Pescado Al Horno.
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.
Enjoy delicious spins on a margarita - try the Ay Papi with tamarind , funky - and great food to pair. The carnitas tacos are especially good.
Loved everything- the ambiance, the food, the drinks. The pork belly entree melts in your mouth. And that churro ? Perfection.
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.
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 .
Spicy margarita (Margarita de Toronja Picante ) is the best I've tasted in the city . It's HOT, tart and amazing.
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.
Great service and food. Be sure to ask for the real hot sauce though. Carnitas tacos and habanero margarita are musts!
Guac comes in a tiny bowl but it's delicious with fresh spicy red pepper on top.
Great! Guacamole , fish tacos , carnitas tacos all terrific. The salsas that come with the tacos are delicious, especially the spicy one.
The tortillas are pressed in-house and the cocktails change with the season at this Mexican restaurant owned by the folks behind Colonie.
Good Mexican food and nice outdoor back garden . Nice place for a weekend afternoon margarita .
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
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.
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.
Great Mexican food. Try the tamales and the Pedro's appetizer it has a great selection of anything you might want to try. - James C
Very attractive space, and overall excellent food. Caesar, squash tlayuda, steak tacos, lamb tacos all killer - Jeremy Fisher
Beautiful place! Great view of the bridge and skyline of city. Lovely positive vibes around there as it's mostly tourists. We witnessed three weddings in 30degree temp! They be crazyyy! - Lisa Dino
Fantastic place to eat and to grab something to drink before/after dinner. The service is very good as Well! I suggest you to take the pork chop, tasty and big! - Michela Centioni
Awesome bridge, very great walk, good sight of both Manathan and Brooklyn, huge architecture - Io As Soon
