Lisa RobinsonMay 19, 2017Avoid! Expensive garbage. The sangria tastes like watered down juice, the chairs are super uncomfortable, the food is bland and expensive for very little. Also, staff is not friendly.
Ruen EllisJune 3, 2013uhm, for a big selection a la Mezcal and tequila, the use of same in cocktails are disappointing - low count. lotsa people running around, yet, service is slow, at best. food okay, not stupendous.
Drink the Margarita de toronja picante. It will burn your lips off
Elaine SDecember 8, 2012The huevos revueltos con chorizo is terrible doesn't taste like chorizo at all. The setas quesadillas are very good they come with 4 salsas
Carrie BlakeApril 7, 2014Beware spring Sunday evenings. 86ed many menu items. 20 minute wait for drinks. 90 minute wait for food. 20 minute wait for check. I'm older and wiser after tonight at Gran Electrica.- This place makes a damn fine margarita! Get back to basics with the Electrica.
Slow. As. Fuck. Double expected time for wait and waiters and food and all things - been like this for years, busy or not.
Eleonora ZorziOctober 20, 2015The place is beautiful, but the food is not worth the price and the cocktails are a limited.
Ryan TrostleDecember 20, 2012Enjoy the drinks and atmosphere, but help yourself and avoid the food. Boring and it tastes of nothing. Seriously.. nothing.

"One of our favorite Mexican joints in Brooklyn. Come for brunch or for dinner, order the white sangria, guacamole, and any of the tacos (for dinner) or the breakfast enchiladas (for brunch)."

"Possibly the best rooftop in Brooklyn. Come at sunset."

"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!"

"Such a beautiful park. You’ll always have breathtaking waterfront views of NYC. Lots of grassy area for picnics. Plenty of things to do here. Certain piers have designated sports sections."
Kimmie Ohh - 7.2
"The Mediterranean-inspired menu, changes daily and features fresh fish, savory house-made sausage, perfectly cooked vegetables, and entree-size salads. Green chiles imported from New Mexico."

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