DavidJune 13, 2017The best ceviche I've ever had, and I've been to more than a few high end restaurants in Peru.
Moni BellaFonTellaAugust 2, 2015I 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.
Get the Gran Margarita or anything with Fidencio Mezcal. Tacos are delish, too. Back patio with views of the bridge open May 5. Ole!
ElizabethOctober 23, 2013The Margarita de toronja picante is NO JOKE! Spice level is 10 10 10!! Proceed with CAUTION
Nick VarneyAugust 11, 2014The Elotes were almost as good as you'll get from a little old Mexican lady with a cart outside a gas station in Texas. So pretty damn good.
Loved the tongue fish tacos. Tried the Margarita de Pepinom, a cucumber margarita. Yum! Fun wallpaper :)
William TorrealbaJuly 13, 2013Awesome food, amazing feeling and really good people.. try the huevos rancheros for brunch.. loving this place...
G MoneyMay 23, 2012Great tequila and mezcal collection. Classed up Mexican street food. The tlacoyo is a great choice, as is the chicken mole verde.
Sarah SwiftAugust 20, 2017Awesome garden under the bridge, great scene, tasty tacos and guac and margaritas.
Will HugueninJanuary 16, 2017Delish Mexican fair. Margs will guarantee you topple over a bit when you stand up.
The Spicy (habanero and jalapeno infused syrupGrapefruit margarita is my new favorite drink! Had 3 for brunch!
Anna GallowayNovember 26, 2018Friendly staff, great Mexican beer on draft and the guac, salsa and chips are to die for
Public Art FundAugust 15, 2012Visiting our #People exhibition at Brooklyn Bridge Park? Stop here for dinner and order the fish tacos! They're a #StaffPick fave of our Communications team.
Chrissy BMarch 25, 2014This place is so cool. Even the bathroom hand dryers have a dia de los muertos design. To make matters better, the food is DELICIOUS, although the portions can be a little small. Service was eh though
Tamara HMarch 24, 2013Margarita de Toronja Picante. Jalapeño syrup, habanero-infused tequila. Spice up your life, or something.
GabyOctober 27, 2014The guacamole, fish, and the tongue tacos are my favorite here. Sit at the bar and your food will arrive quicker.
Danny SalvatoriAugust 31, 2019Back patio is amazing. Nestled under the Brooklyn bridge, inside a vine-covered wall.- Orlando BentancorSeptember 11, 2016Don't even try to get in if you look Hispanic.They'll tell you "there's a 20 minute wait" but they'll end up letting anyone else in, even with no reservations. It is ironic that it is a Mexican place.
The fish tacos are sublime, as is the guacamole, but we liked everything. Good, helpful wait staff as well. A keeper!
May A.June 22, 2018Seriously has the best Texmex in this side of town. Good ambience. Friendly staff.
The backyard is super cute. Fish tacos + margaritas = win. I like the habanero one.
Jason RosadoJuly 19, 2013Website showed 3 tacos, but you actually only get two. They were delicious but definitely not enough... Beef, pork, or fish are the way to go.
Renata Lopes-MerriamAugust 5, 2013The tables out back have Mosquitos, but the food was very good and the Tequila drinks were fantastic, specially The Mexican.
- Lee SimpsonMarch 9, 2015The guacamole and salsa here is next level and pro-tip; ask for lime juice in your Modelo.
Love the ceviche dishes.. Esp the clam and shrimp cocktail!! Cucumber margarita was another favorite.
Michael MorganJune 28, 2013I can never remember what it's called so, I usually just ask for the Cucumber drink.
EatMeDrinkMeNYCMay 5, 2013Can't get a seat? You can order the full menu at the bar and eat New York style (on your feet)!
Bin YangMay 15, 2013Great margaritas, delicious tacos (get the tongue taco), and one damn fine whole fish.
Noah DavisJanuary 12, 2013The large guacamole is not fooling around. It's large. And in charge. Like Charles.
Tom DiMaggioMay 29, 2017The food here is good, the cocktails are great, and the service was supreme.
Go with Margarita De Toronja Picante, it features super spicy grapefruit salt.

"Possibly the best rooftop in Brooklyn. Come at sunset."
Jo Leavens - 8.7
"In our opinion, the best Mexican in Brooklyn. The shrimp and scallop enchiladas are perfect, and the pork adobo is a must-order dish as well. Awesome happy hour specials too!"

"An iconic NYC location. Great views. Perfect for biking, running, walking, and photography, but tends to be more crowded in the warmer months."
