The fish tacos are great. Stay away from the beef ones though. Not a fan of their "quesadilla".
Frank E. RodriguezFebruary 9, 2018Nice place, good service but the food does not have that unique Mexican flavor
Great food and ambiance, but the service is aloof at best. More interested in hanging out with each other than taking care of the guest...
Santi AmayaSeptember 22, 2015The pitcher or half-margarita/half sangria are nothing to get too excited about... Not worth the higher price point. All the tacos on the menu are incredible!
Raju NarisettiMay 27, 2013It is stunning how people seem oblivious that it failed its NY kitchen test, appealed for two months and only managed a B. It must be an awful kitchen to end up with a B. Cheap and tasty, but healthy?
This place has great drinks (mescal) and the coolest bano.
Guacamole, Plato don, red sangria. That's all I need in this life.
Lamarr SDecember 8, 2012Get the Don Peppino green drank...this is so much better than chipotle #heygrentrification
Ramona ArmitageDecember 3, 2019Nice atmosphere but the food was really disappointing and very one flavour in each dish.

"A welcomed addition to the area. Freshly made tortilla chips are light and crunchy, and the burritos are very good and incredibly filling."

"This is my favorite place to go out with friends in Crown Heights. Has 2 different bars and a large outdoor patio to cater to everyone's needs. Also has games, a photo booth, music, and food."

"One of my favorite NYC museums- the exhibits are curated so well and often tell a fresh story about the artist. The architecture is also stunning on its own."
