DavidJune 13, 2017The best ceviche I've ever had, and I've been to more than a few high end restaurants in Peru.
ElizabethOctober 23, 2013The Margarita de toronja picante is NO JOKE! Spice level is 10 10 10!! Proceed with CAUTION
Best place to go for Mexican food in DUMBO, perhaps all of Brooklyn. The fish tacos are my fave! Service is attentive and friendly.
Julia PSeptember 10, 2014Spicy margarita (Margarita de Toronja Picante) is the best I've tasted in the city. It's HOT, tart and amazing.
eric bornemannApril 7, 2021Good Mexican food and nice outdoor back garden. Nice place for a weekend afternoon margarita.
Loved the tongue fish tacos. Tried the Margarita de Pepinom, a cucumber margarita. Yum! Fun wallpaper :)
Get the Gran Margarita or anything with Fidencio Mezcal. Tacos are delish, too. Back patio with views of the bridge open May 5. Ole!- 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.
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.
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.
William TorrealbaJuly 13, 2013Awesome food, amazing feeling and really good people.. try the huevos rancheros for brunch.. loving this place...
The Spicy (habanero and jalapeno infused syrupGrapefruit margarita is my new favorite drink! Had 3 for brunch!
May A.June 22, 2018Seriously has the best Texmex in this side of town. Good ambience. Friendly staff.
Anna GallowayNovember 26, 2018Friendly staff, great Mexican beer on draft and the guac, salsa and chips are to die for
Will HugueninJanuary 16, 2017Delish Mexican fair. Margs will guarantee you topple over a bit when you stand up.
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.
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)!
The fish tacos are sublime, as is the guacamole, but we liked everything. Good, helpful wait staff as well. A keeper!
Sarah SwiftAugust 20, 2017Awesome garden under the bridge, great scene, tasty tacos and guac and margaritas.
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.
The backyard is super cute. Fish tacos + margaritas = win. I like the habanero one.
Love the ceviche dishes.. Esp the clam and shrimp cocktail!! Cucumber margarita was another favorite.
Bin YangMay 15, 2013Great margaritas, delicious tacos (get the tongue taco), and one damn fine whole fish.
Tamara HMarch 24, 2013Margarita de Toronja Picante. Jalapeño syrup, habanero-infused tequila. Spice up your life, or something.
Go with Margarita De Toronja Picante, it features super spicy grapefruit salt.
Danny SalvatoriAugust 31, 2019Back patio is amazing. Nestled under the Brooklyn bridge, inside a vine-covered wall.
Ofer FassAugust 11, 2019Outdoor patio vibes are great! But service is painfully slow. 30 minutes for churros is unacceptable
Matt HaggertyOctober 27, 2012Food wasn't as great as I had hoped, but I enjoyed it. Drinks were tasty and if nothing else, its worth stopping in for a few drinks at lively bar.
Tom DiMaggioMay 29, 2017The food here is good, the cocktails are great, and the service was supreme.

"the huevos divorciados are the perfect brunch choice for when you just can't commit to one sauce... and the sangria is always delicious. Lots of vegetarian choices, too (for brunch, lunch, and dinner)"

"Best Tex-Mex this Texan has found yet in Brooklyn. Upgrade to the Cadillac margaritas, it's worth it."
Matt Lamb - 6.0
"Excellent tacos made with high quality meat. Try the pork or the chorizo, and make sure you get them with Pedro's delicious frozen margaritas."

"The buscati with "buttermilk" meatballs was incredible, as was the organic Cotes du Rhone (sounds obnoxious, but it's delicious). Yum."
