Billy SanezSeptember 5, 2013One of the best Mexican food restaurants in Brooklyn. The Michelada caliente is the perfect companion.
Clara BunkerSeptember 29, 2011The prices were mind-blowing for what you get, small and flavorless. Usually fatty, bland, and $4 a bite do not go hand in hand, but here a plate of 3 bite sized tostadas is $12. Very disappointed.
Kate ChappellMay 10, 2013Maybe its bc it was the first nice summer day of the season but worst service ever.
Allan ZepedaJanuary 5, 2012Favorite tortilla soup here! Everything is good but too expensive for small portions. Kind of a rip off for Mexican food.
Adam BrodowskiSeptember 29, 2011Incredibly disappointed. Spent 30$ and left still hungry. Portions are small and not very flavorful. Everything was just ok not great and not worth the money.
David WellerFebruary 24, 2012I hope the owners recognize the trend of negative tips and do something about it - too many good places in brooklyn to be average at best.
Ruth TooSeptember 4, 2011Nothing great. No frozen margaritas! Side order of guac and nachos is $13 and small, totally not worth it.
Charlie O'DonnellSeptember 24, 2011Place was empty, but they made us sit stuffed at communal tables. Customer service fail.
- Leo SandiegoAugust 30, 2020Me gustó mucho visitar un lugar tan especial para mí como el Café de La Esquina, acá en Brooklyn. La pena es que esté cerrado y solamente pueda verlo por fuera. Realmente me hacía mucha ilusión.
Sergio VerdascoDecember 26, 2012Impresionante Mejicano con precios muy asequibles, si en el restaurante no hay sitio, al Café, que es más divertido
Gabriel GarcíaOctober 17, 2015La primera vez en mi vida que me obligan a dejar la tarjeta de crédito en la barra como garantía para que no me vaya sin pagar. Servicio lamentable y un trato prehistórico.
María TilveOctober 17, 2015De los mejores mejicanos de NY y en el peor q me han tratado con diferencia. Maleducados, pasotas y poco profesionales. No vuelvo.
Jorge Mitchell ArranzOctober 17, 2015Muy rico pero parece que te hacen un favor por atenderte. No vuelvo
