1. No alcohol
2. Cash only
3. No cheese on tacos (I'm a Midwesterner-- we fatten EVERYTHING)
4. If you know me, #'s 1-3 are all definite deal breakers, but like RUDY when the odds were against him, La Superior pulls through in the end.
At roughly $2.50 a pop their tacos are fantastically filling as perfect JUST THE WAY THE ARE... a character flaw of mine is I have a tendency to try and "fix" things-- whether it be menu or man, I always want it differently than originally presented...
My first time at La Superior I was pretty convinced it was going to be a mere blip on my radar. I ordered the carne asada taco and then a spicier taco con pollo. I asked the waiter if I could please have a little shredded cheese on the side for my tacos. He apologized and said, "Sorry, can't do that." I laughed and said, "You're kidding, right?" He answered with a slight laugh but still with a firm negative response.. He left. I was confused. Was I going to get cheese or not? Long story short, I'm the idiot that thought he was kidding about the cheese- he wasn't. But, as #4 above mentioned-- none of that matters. no booze, no cards, no cheese-- no problem!
Their food speaks for itself.. order from the menu AS IS, and I promise if you are a "fixer", it will make you think twice about your ways.
I recently came here with dining partners Ben A. and Marcus C. and I chose my usual standard fare that I get whenever I go to any Taqueria:
Pork Brain Quesadillas, mmmmm mmmm good.
One of the wonderful things about Mexican cuisine is that they really love and utilize every part of a pig or a cow, and I really appreciate this utilitarian approach to cooking, and La Superior is no exception.
The tortilla was nicely fried and had a great crisp to it, also, not too oily. The actually fillings though, I thought were a little weak. It was basically jalapenos and cheese, with a little bit of the of the pork dome.
This is not to say it wasn't tasty, I just was really looking forward to getting to taste some good ol' fashioned swine knowledge.
It was small, but fairly priced, and I did enjoy my Lime Agua Fresca.
-1 star for uber-hipster waiters (its still the service industry, no matter how little you care) and techno music blaring.
So, I was a little worried when I first got here: the menu seemed limited, and I wasn't sure about the portions. But, I got a few tacos and was really surprised at how amazing and filling they were.
Carnitas is where it's AT. Carne asada was pretty good too, but nowhere near the pork caliber. The person I was with ordered a sort of torta thing that was also really spicy and delicious- I'm not sure if they have it all the time but it was awesome. The bread was soaked at some point, apparently. I don't really know how that works but all that matters is that it's really yummy.
The only thing that I wasn't all about- and the food was so good they STILL get 5 stars- was that they were slow to refill the water at our table. We had to ask.
Looks like we found our Taqueria now too.. Place is really good. We were able to try a few different items..
The owner/waiter guy does have a little bit of a quirky attitude.. When I first ordered my entree he said, oh, so you want to order a big plate of food and keep eating the same thing over and over again? This was his way of telling me to try his tacos.. I feel his sense of humor is more dry and can be confused with rude.. All this aside, the guy is passionate about food and is very proud of his place.. He has tried to recreate a Mexican Taqueria.. He has imported everything down to the plastic plates and napkin dispensers from Mexico..
So far, on my one visit I ate the queso fundido.. Served on homemade tortillas with a really nice chorizo, I was so happy with this.. Being that I had only popped a bunch of diet pills and drank coffee all day, food was a welcomed change.. And this food was awesome!!!
I also tried the pig foot tostada which came with some pickled onions and lettuce.. Served with some crema and a wonderful salsa verde, this was the girls favorite of the night..
My personal favorite of the evening were the gorditas.. The gorditas were awesome. Made from a really nice masa, they were perfectly cooked. .Crunchy on the outside, doughy on the inside.. Served with this awesome fresh cheese.. .I was so happy with this..
Tacos were very good.. They are small and only one tortilla.. Not the thick mealy tortillas that come stacked two deep.. We tried the shrimp which came in a spicy red sauce.. The tongue taco was awesome also.. My favorite taco was the carnita.. super porked up, chared on parts, soft in others.. A thing of absolute beauty..
All in all, this place is really terrific.. We went early and I am sure it can be hectic in this tiny space when it's busy.. But for now, I will go during off times and enjoy some of the best Mexican Food I have had in NY..
For 3 people who ate until they were full, it was 33 bucks..
After a futile attempt to locate Bar Celona and the absence of a smartphone to aid our search, my friend and I made an unprecedented move: pick a restaurant at random. The long line outside of La Superior was all the recommendation we needed. Luckily, we scored seats at the bar and didn't have to endure the endless line that lured us in.
Contrary to some of the other reviews, the service we experienced was excellent. Our waiter was very helpful in making recommendations on what/how much to order, and his boyish good looks certainly weren't hurting him ;) The rajas tacos were really good while the ezquites (seasoned corn) was pretty good. If you crave something picante, order the jalapenos rellenos, but also make sure to pair them with lime w/ zest agua fresca to cool your taste buds. All the food here is fresh, authentic, and bubbling with quality cheese. I could be wrong, but I don't think alcohol is served. After all, the variety of agua frescas is where it's at!
The value is unbeatable (under $15pp) and everything from the menu to the poster of Obama as Che on the wall make La Superior feel like a retreat to Mexico. For me, this fabulous find can be chalked up to serendipity.
Still love this place, but please correct an important fact....
NO DELIVERY AT THIS PLACE!
If you're the kind of person that puts decor, service, vibe on the same level as food, then you'd… Read more »
I really liked this place..... The food was incredible (although I'm no expert): What they call a quesadilla was like someone said a fried empanada, and it was out of this world. I had the corn in a cup deal, totally awesome. And $3 rice and beans, big yummy portion. Great fresh guacamole which I think was complementary. I loved it! And the authentic vibe, vintage Mexican-Americana, totally low key.... Right up my alley.
Yes -- I agree with the reviews mentioning the attitude. Not cool. I think it's the same guy. He just complains and hates everyone. Oh well.... But the girl that served me -- Wow what a looker. So hot, I fell in love. She was sweet but the angry guy was too much, he was ruining everyone's night.
Food is pretty good and the price is right.
Bummer that they still don't have a liquor license, but that doesn't stop me from coming. A good margarita or even some cheap cans of something would bring this place up to a 5-star fo' sheezy.
One waiter is super nice, he's the dude with the plaid shirt (it's always been plaid when I've seen him) and the beard. But one guy is kinda rude and I'm not into that.
Came here today to check out some new Mexican food since Bonita is now closed in Bedford Ave.
I must say, I like this place, based off the fact that it is essentially Taco Cart quality food (and no, that's not a put down) with sit down service and an expanded menu. It strikes that great chord between upscale and dive.
I had the pork and steak tacos, they were a little on the smallish side, but still excellent, as well as the guacamole, which was good, but not great. The flautas are also very good and have a mexican mayo sauce which is excellent. All in, a great addition to the neighborhood.
Authentic, delicious Mexican for dirt cheap! Portions aren't huge, but they are certainly filling. All of the staff are spanish speaking and more than friendly. Last time I went they still didn't have any kind of license to serve alcohol, but they make up for it with the WATERMELON SMOOTHIE mmm mmm. You can take a cab from Manhattan, have a huge fantastic meal, take a cab back to Manhattan, and it will probably cost you about the same as just eating in Manhattan. Yes, of course it's crawling with hipsters, but isn't your stomach more important?
sunday nights are tough. just when you feel like you're beginning to un-wind somewhat from work, the weekend's over and the mayhem begins all over again. it's bad shit. and, we all have our ways of dealing with bad shit ... some people booze it up, some people cry, some people write heartfelt messages in their journals. i, on the other hand, stuff my face. with tacos ... at least that's how i numbed the knowledge of knowing that i'd be back in the office in t-minus-12 hours this past sunday.
in fact, i was really excited about this particular sunday - i had trekked over to billyburg to attend a b fri's 3rd birthday party for her doggie. (yes, you read that correctly. happy belated, suki!) after a few hours of poochie-related activities - it was her 21st, after all! - tummies were empty and needed replenishment in the form of something cheap, fast and yummy ... which is exactly how i prefer my men.* cue the decision to hit-up la superior.
after 30 minutes of waiting - note that this place is teeny-weeny and popular - we were seated and served as each plate finished-up in the kitchen. just so you know, the guac, fish tacos and chicken quesadillas were huge hits whereas my turkey taco left much to be desired ... my, it was strange. and, don't think it's a good idea to douse it with the hot sauce that came with ... milk was necessary so the burning would stop.
if i could just bottle the scent of these tacos and take it out every sunday night to sniff, i'd be golden. yo, eat these tacos - seriously, they could cure AIDS ... or something equally important.
* - kidding ... come on now, i have SOME class.
Hey La Inferior, your tacos are great but you need to LOSE THE TUDE.
As good as it gets for New York Mexican food. I thought I would just retire my Mexican eating career after moving from California to New York. Disappointment every time, then I stumbled upon La Superior. It is my go to place for Mexican food. The staff I wouldn't give the highest stars, but I am rating food, not people. And I don't want to discredit the 2 amazing staff members (both men). I think they might be owners or managers. Regardless, you can find cheap things on the menu or you can go all out with the priciest items too. Also the street quesadilla are to die for. Seriously.
Good tacos. Crappy, hipster-style service.
Four words... Best steak tacos ever.
I don't know maybe they were having a good day, but when I went there the steak tacos were amazing! Write home to your mom amazing. I actually texted my friend who lives and Chicago where I had previously had the best steak tacos of my life and told him how amazing they were. Yum, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. My two cents...get the steak tacos!
I used to be really into this place until my last experience left me super disappointed. I ordered the shrimp taco and the chicken tinga taco and both were literally dripping orangey red grease. I was nervous that it was gonna give me a tummy ache (and it did) but I was really hungry at the time and didn't just want to throw them in the garbage (but I probably should have). The weird thing is that I had eaten both tacos on other locations and really liked them.
I once ordered the corn and mayo and cheese dish and was pretty bummed about it. It came in a dixie cup and it was totally bland. Bleurgh.
Also, I once ordered watermelon juice and it was quite possibly the worst watermelon juice I've ever had. Either the girl didn't know what she was doing or the watermelons just weren't good enough to be making juice (in which case you just tell people you're all out of it).
Another word of caution: if you order a quesadilla, it's probably not gonna be what you're expecting. It was basically a deep fried empanada looking thing. I took two bites and gave it to my friend who just scooped the meat out.
If you do go to La Superior, get some tacos. They're not the cheapest things ever ($2.50 for a taco that fits in the palm of a 7-year old child) but sometimes they are pretty good.
With all the chances I've given you, La Superior, it's time for me to pull the plug on our relationship.
HORRIBLE SERVICE!
But screw it, pretty good tacos.
Palm size, $2.50, still under $10 for a good meal.
-Shrimp was the best (had 2). That spicy chipotle sauce really has a kick.
-Carnitas was refreshing, lots of cilantro and onions my favs.
-Pork slow cooked in banana leaf was probably second best. La Superior truly piles on the pork on such a small tortilla!
-Fish was...meh. Im glad it was grilled, but I guess fried/ lightly battered is my personal preference for now on.
Wow-wa-wee-wow! I am doling out all 5 stars to this cantina for having--probably--the best best Mexican hole-in-the-wall gourmet in town. I had the Camarón Al Chipotle taco (sauteed shrimps with chipotle sauce) and grilled squid in ink sauce special, both delicious. I also partook in my friend's Cochinita entree (slow-cooked pork) and the guac--very good. Taco's king here: they have inventive selections with sauteed mushroom and pork brain fillings. I wish it were closer--but what a find!
PS: No BYOB anymore, so come drunk or plan for a nightcap.
Ok, so I've been here a couple of times since this place opened, but won't go again. The food is decent, the portions are small, but the prices are definitely fair, and the guacamole is great. But honestly, the place just has WAY too much attitude for the hole-in-the-wall, authentic vibe they strive for.
In the past I knew the restaurant was BYOB, and so, I showed up with my family and two bottles of wine. The owner, or at least I think it was the owner, came over and said, "Hi guys, I'm going to ask you to take the bottles of wine off the table..." It sounds innocuous enough, but his tone was scolding and immediately rubbed me the wrong way. He went on to explain that they would soon be obtaining their liquor license, had recently been raided by whatever liquor authority, and now were forced to enforce a no-liquor policy. Completely understandable.
Eager to convince myself that this guy meant no harm, I offered, "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know. In the past we always just brought some beer." Apparently this offended him, or he thought I was challenging his authority, as he let me know that their policy had changed MONTHS ago. Clearly, I lived under a rock.
So, whatever. Our food came and the guacamole was good, which assuaged my anger for the time being. Yet when he delivered my mom's tacos, my mom said, "Thanks, could I have a fork?"
Exasperated, he turned to her and said, "Fork? You're holding your forks. These are tacos. They are meant to be eaten with your hands." And walked away. I am not exaggerating. He never returned with a fork.
It was around that time that I decided I couldn't deal. I will never return. Yes, I understand that tacos are meant to be eaten with your hands, but come on. Who the hell cares!
Yes, the food was good, but it's not worth it. Nothing makes me want to vomit more than a pretentious hipster charging me for an "education." Dude, get over yourself. You didn't cure cancer.
This spot is pretty tiny for the level of demand so expect to wait 30-1hr if your there on a Saturday night - something I'm not that used to when not in Manhattan. Thankfully it's BYO so grab a 6-pack of Negro Modelo at the bodega down the street and sit back in anticipation of some supremely awesome eats.
The service can be hit or miss but these guys skateboard to work and have beer openers on their belts so don't get into a tizzy if they muck up a bit. Just keep drinking those beers and pretend you're on Mexico tiempo.
They have a variety of cheap tacos - though I wasn't really blown away with these. The dish not to be missed? The green chile enchiladas. Crack-infused cheese covered perfection. The chips and guac here is also right on point. All in all a worthy addition to your Williamsburg rounds.
Good, authentic tacos and Mexican food. Many of the tacos and dishes come out like tapas, on small plates. So if you are starving, you have to order a lot, because the tacos are tiny. I find things are a little too spicy for my liking--I realize that it's a Mexican restaurant and that things are going to be hot--but I feel like the heat overwhelms some of the other flavors sometimes. Great place to go if you want to be adventurous and want to try brain or tongue.
Mouth watering flavors of authentic Mexican cuisine. The tacos al pastor and de lengua are out of this world. The guacamole was good the but the portion was definitely not worth the price. Not the cheapest but still good and it's nice to eat off the beaten path of Williamsburg.
Worth the wait if it's packed.
Cash only. but ATM right outside.
Tiny, hole-in-the-wall Mexican with excellent tacos! Of the three I sampled (carnitas, asada, & camarones chipotles) my favorite by far were the carnitas. The carne asada left a little to be desired but the camarones were also great (and packed some heat).
We had truly excellent service ... so I guess it depends on the day or the server. But ours was friendly, attentive, helpful ... all in all a great meal.
I've given this place a couple of chances and it mostly disappoints.
1) Recently I paid $7.50 for three tacos.. sounds like a good deal. I ate all of three in under 2 minutes total. Crappy value. The shrimp had the consistency of fatty chinese restaurant chicken, and the beef was chewy.
2) There's this waiter who's been there all three times I visited... he's got this bushy gnarly beard that seriously kills my appetite. (Unless he's the owner, I'm surprised he's allowed to have it at a restaurant?)
3) One time the waitress very uncarefully placed my plate on the table and a quesdadilla almost landed in my lap. All she said was "oops". She also didn't bring me napkins to clean up the mess, I had to ask for them.
4) Ok, the quesdadillas are pretty good. They're a better value. But with all the cream and cheese on top, I don't recommend them to too many people because I just love creamy things a little too much. Also the Rajas taco was tasty. But again... not worth 2.50.. the thing is practically bight-size.
I have to agree with the other reviewers. The waitrons can't be bothered, and while the prices are great on the surface, the portions are miniscule. Oh, and they don't do quesadillas until after 5pm. Is it very difficult to set up the grill to slap some cheese onto a tortilla? COME ON!
The tacos aren't the worst I've ever had but they're not spectacular. Provided you can find them on your plate, that is.
La inferior is more like it.
A few things you need to try:
Beef Tongue taco - very small cubes of soft meat, good flavor
Sessadilla - Brain Quesadilla - Don't be intimidated. Their quesadilla is a deep fried taco, very small, and the inside of this one is just perfect.
There's probably nothing bad on the menu, just that most of it, beyond the funkier stuff, is standard fare you can probably get at several other spots in the burg.
The tacos are wonderful, but they are seriously 2-3 bites, tops. Do the math. North of the border, you can rack up a nice tab pretty quickly, of course you'll save on booze since they are completely dry and don't allow BYO, even go so far as to print a laminate and have it on hand when you ask why....
It's probably a good thing. Kitchen is small, food takes time. Few tables and high demand make alcohol the last thing this place needs.
This little hole in the wall's got some niiiice tacos, and having come from the City of Angels, I know what I'm talking about. I've got no clue what's got other reviewers' panties all in a twist about the waiters/service though. C'mon, this is a cheap mexi-spot in Williamsburg, not five-star, $$$$$ city dining. At the very least, the service has been friendly and chill each time I've visited.
Try the watermelon or lime agua fresca. As far as the tacos go my favorites are the cameron al chipotle and the chorizo toluqueno. For a gourmet heart-attack on a platter go for the alambre de res which features skirt steak and onions smothered with Chihuahua cheese. Yum. Supposedly the elusive liquor license should arrive by August.
the camaron al chipotle tacos are on motherfuckin' point.
the jalapeno peppers stuffed with chihuahua cheese are on fuckin' point.
the street style pollo quesadillas are on fuckin' point.
the watermelon and pineapple aqua frescas are on fuckin' point.
but the quesadillas de sesos are incredible. pork brains.... sounds scary...tastes like heaven laced with crack. perfect, get them!
la superior is right, betch!
Waa waa waa- Hipster this, Hipster that.
For all of y'all who've been complaining about La Superior- well in the words of Nicolas Cage- "Shut yer Piehole!" This place is pretty darn good! good tacos, good service, coke made with cane sugar ( awwww yeah).
I've been to San Diego, had me some tacos over there, and been to the best mexican joints o'er there in the Bay area's Mission district ( Read El Farlito nom nom nom) - and I must say- even though the tacos are baby versions of those, they are GOSH DARNED TASTY!
I had the Pork Carnitas and the cilantro was perfect, the pork as juicy as your mama's lactating breast when you first arrived in this here mortal earth...and the Quesadiila was smothered in cheesilicious mexican cheese and the chicken was deeeeelicious ( god I am salivating just thinking of that crispy crust with all that tastiness enveloped within- an edible cocoon of goodness graciousness).
And then it hit me, As I was staring at the Virgin Mary skate deck nailed to the wall, and as the retro soda blonde lady on the wall clock winked at me... A light bulb fizzled and popped in my head: "GADZOOKS!! Allelluiah! after scouring the Big Apple™ for good authentic mexican tacos, I have finally found it in the bosom of Billyburg!"...
The service was good, I ain't complaining 'bout that, as long as I get those tasty treats in my mouth, I'm as happy as a black bear perched on top of a waterfall, waiting for the pink salmon to swim-jump into my mouth..
GRRRRRRRRREAT!
Seriously bad attitude, both in person and over the phone.
The two stars are for the two bites of taco. Yeah, street tacos are small, but these pack a wallop, esp the chipotle camarones. It's just really not worth dealing with that 'tude, and the depressing ambience of the place itself if it's not busy (hence tonight's attempt at take out).
Also, the salsa situation is retarded - a sampler of 7 salsa served in tiny bowls the chips won't fit inside. It's ridiculous. Oh, and the salsas are all awful. Stick to the tacos. And the bean soup was well-flavored.
When you tire of Bonita, head over to La Superior. Worth the trip.
Pros: The food was very tasty and very quick to the table. The guac was great, all the tacos were bursting with flavor and the fruit drinks were very fresh and a nice change from the norm of cervezas and horchata. If you like spicy, they don't hold back.
Cons: There is no booze yet. The cutlery is plastic (eww + eco no-no)... and the corn dish was served in a plastic cup (so cheap!).Some of the plates were sorta melted from either a dishwasher or microwave.
So, if you are looking for fine dining, pass on this joint. If you are looking for authentic Mexican street food, head over!
I don't get over to Williamsburg much...I'll admit that I'm just not trendy enough for that Bklyn neighborhood. But I ventured into the outer borough last night to meet some very cool friends, and ended up having a great time.
La Superior was an awesome find, and it is all thanks to our Williamsburg resident friend, D, that we ended up at this restaurant around 9:30pm on a Thursday. There are only about 10 tables, most of which were occupied, and we were a larger-than-life group of five. The place was so chill, they asked a couple to move for us...and this couple actually gave up their table so we could sit down. This would never happen in Manhattan.
We were given paper menus highlighting authentic Mexican dishes. I ordered the Flautas de Pollo ($6) and a bottled soda (they offer a Mexican soda called Squirt which is so much fun). And my table shared three orders of chips (so yummy and salty) with super-fresh Guacamole ($5.50).
The scene is relaxed, the food is amazing, and I had a great time at La Superior. Just a note: bring your cash because they do not accept credit cards. But definitely check this place out.
This place is so (ahem) superior to other similar offerings in the neighborhood, that its most high-profile rival, Bonita, is closing its doors. OK, I'm sure La Superior's close proximity is not the only reason the Marlow&Sons guys are closing Bonita, but it can't be helping. Because La Superior gets everything right. Almost everything I've had to eat here has been delicious and transcends the obvious choices you find at other New York restaurants that make tacos the linchpin of their menus. There's not really much atmosphere, and (I think) they're still without a liquor license (which is a shame, because this type of food is best with a beer or two), but the low prices and excellent food will keep me coming back, for sure.
The best Mexican I've had in New York since I moved here a year ago from California.
Fat and fried and warm and covered in crema - the quesadillas (looking like empanadas) are incredible, as well as each little taco. Service was busy and quick when we were there, but didn't matter because everything was fantastic.
Had the lime agua fresca - it's the specialty drink of the house.
The ezquites or corn kernels come in a cute little cup, the portions are large - especially for what you pay.
Agree the tacos are so good.
I lived in California for several years and grew accustomed to good Mexican food. I always felt that the one thing New York was lacking was good Mexican food.
For that reason, I was very excited to try this much hyped spot - especially since it's down the street from my apartment. I decided to check it out for Sunday brunch.
The decor is haphazard and spartan & the light fixture looks kind of dangerous. But, I didn't expect too much since this place is known for food and not ambiance.
I ordered the Huevos de Hacienda and my boyfriend ordered three different kinds of tacos. We also ordered the salsa sampler and prickly pear Aguas Fresca (freshly squeezed juice).
The host was extremely nice, but otherwise service was pretty desultory. I didn't even get my silverware until after my entree was brought to me. Also, my boyfriend had finished his three tacos by the time my entree was brought to the table. There are few things more annoying than watching someone eat when you have nothing in front of you. The same thing happened to the guys sitting next to us.
The salsa sampler has about 6-7 different salsas in itsy-bitsy condiment bowls that are nearly impossible to dip your chip in. We had to break all our chips in halves and fourths to get a decent portion of salsa. The freshly made chips were good, but the salsas were bland and not that special.
The three tacos that Todd ordered were also quite tiny. Although the fillings were decent, they didn't come with the usual taco accoutrements (radish, lettuce, peppers, salsa, etc). He didn't find them filling and felt $2.50 was too much for these bite size bits.
My Huevos de Hacienda consisted of refried beans, strips of poblano peppers, eggs over easy, and a huge mound of cheese over a tortilla. It was quite yummy, but I felt bad for Todd who was still salivating with hunger after eating his teeny tiny tacos.
NY Mag hyped up this place to no end - they are losing all kinds of credibility with me - I was pretty disappointed with this place (and others that they've recommended).
Overall, the food is okay - I might come back. But, I'll probably get takeout so that I don't have to watch my date eat and vice versa. If you do visit this place, come for dinner- I don't recommend the brunch here.
Three of us went for brunch after it was suggested by Time Out. Not impressed. It wasn't busy and yet it took 20+ minutes to get a cup of coffee. I ordered the skirt steak... which was a greasy mess. My friend ordered the Grandma style egg enchiladas smothered in pureed black beans. It was cold and bland. The agua fresca was good though - I tried the prickly pear.
Go to Bonita or my personal favorite Chavella's. Or make your own Mexican brunch.
The tacos are good.
My friends and I tried the carne asada, carnitas, lengua, cochinita pibil and the rajas ones, and they were tasty. We even split an order of taquitos, half with the chicken filling, half with the potato/cheese filling, and those were good as well.
The tacos themselves are on the small side, but the fillings are abundant and at $2.50 each, you don't feel ripped off too terribly.
I will say, though, that I cannot abide charging cash money for chips and salsa. These things should magically appear at your table as a courtesy. For free. The other bone I have to pick with La Superior is its insistence on not doubling up on tortillas for the tacos. Tortillas are cheap!
I'm a NY visitor, so I can't compare it to anything on the East Coast...so don't hate. This neighborhood is really cute. It's pretty hipster ish. There seemed to be a lot of life all around, compared to some other parts of BK i've been to.
This is straight up real, authentic Mexicana food. From mexico. Not from cali, or tex mex. simple, corn tortilla style, raw onion on top deliciousness.
We ordered a fish taco, a shrimp taco and a carnitas taco. We also got chicken with tomatillo sauce enchiladas. Everything was really good, especially the shrimp taco.
We drank agua frescas. watermelon and prickly pear. bomb. just like mexico.
They're getting their liquor license soon, so margaritas will be had.
It was good. loved the atmosphere. Not the best Mexican food ever, not after that marvelous Oaxacan place I went to in Seattle, but still pretty damn good.
Come with a friend and share everything. If you get the black bean soup, for example, it's perfect shared before some tacos. Way too much for one person.
Staff is pretty, too... :)
