very much a welcome addition to the neighborhood, and, by far, the best mexican restaurant in carroll gardens. handmade tortillas, still warm, with a bit of salt, are perfect. will definitely be back.
Danika LandersAugust 15, 2016This is a gem of a Mexican restaurant! Hugo, the chef, makes such authentic dishes. The services is so friendly and Hugo will even come out later in night to check on each table and say hello. Amazing
Alex RainertDecember 29, 2012Killer new Mexican spot at the end of Court Street. Great ingredients, creative takes on old favorites, unique originals, fresh juice bar and friendly service make this one of my favorite new spots.
KaydeeAugust 14, 2016Delicious ceviche, guac, salsa, steak tacos, tamales and margs! Try the cucumber margarita. They juice the cucumbers for it in house. Really cute inside too. Feels like you're on vacation.
Rick NelsonMarch 3, 2019Unconventional tacos with intriguing filings. The thick tortillas are handmade with both yellow and blue masa. Very filling if you get a few
Lee HarringtonAugust 15, 2013La Tambor is described as an apetizer, but it made for a great vegetarian meal for one. Also, the watermelon-berry-basil juice was a fantastic surprise.
You really can't miss here. The salsa sampler is great for a light snack, and the slow-stewed beef is transcendental.
Danny HillmanOctober 5, 2012This place is really great. Debated not lving a tip so it could be all mine. Very original. Great decor. Presentation of the food is A++ and the ingredients are top notch. Very original menu options.
Rachel LandeOctober 5, 2012Amazing addition to the hood. Scallop appetizer was divine, as was the flounder. Can't wait to come back and try the other dishes. This place is going to blow up, so come quick!
Scott KleinbergOctober 20, 2019Absolutely one of the top Mexican restaurants in NYC. I consider myself the ultimate Mexican food snob and I have nothing but good things to say other than they dessert menu is lacking. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Everything is exceptional! Definitely try El Diabolito to taste the different salsas. Duck mole is a mind blower. Just be prepared to wait a little. Good things will come.
John PavlickOctober 4, 2019The daily margarita is always good, as are the tacos. Especially liked the cauliflower taco
J CrowleyNovember 2, 2012This place is incredible. Duck confit in mole sauce basically melts in your mouth. A must order.
Brooke LoneganJanuary 19, 2015The most authentic Mexican food around. Steak taco was excellent, and the hand pressed tortilla puts it over the edge.
- Graham GnallJune 20, 2015Best Mexican in NYC. Squid, duck, ... can't go wrong with anything on menu. Cool patio but buggy.
Serious EatsApril 2, 2013Modern, thoughtful Mexican cooking beyond the taco (though you can get tacos at brunch).

Christine ShepherdSeptember 28, 2014Haven't tried anything I didn't like at this authentic Mexican spot. Amazing food, but watch out for Mosquitos if dining outside.
Very inventive, creative and dynamic food. Great care goes into choosing flavors and textures.
Navin AmbiJune 2, 2017Nice restaurant for caribbean food and atmosphere. Empanadas were really nice.
Renee F. The Brooklyn BiteMarch 12, 2013Great veggie tacos & salad with fresh yellowfin tuna. Such a cute local spot!
