We get delivery from here weekly. For years now. No kidding. Best Mexican food in Brooklyn and I grew up in California so I know what I’m talking about. Authentic, delicious, fresh, fast, and spicy. We love the enchiladas and nachos. Tacos are great. Salsa is superb. Hubby loves the burritos. I love the breakfast dishes as well, like the chilaquiles. Also great entrees, I’m partial to the chiles rellenos. When we’re sick, we order the pozole chicken soup. So healing and delicious and the tostadas that come on the side are perfection! Great arroz y frijoles. Most rice and beans in this side of Brooklyn are disappointing, but this place does them right. Always a telling sign that the place is legit if they get that right! They can even accommodate gluten free and vegan diets, which is hard in this area, especially if you’re entertaining. They even have a gluten free quesadilla made with a homemade corn tortilla and it is so good!! And they also offer catering! We love their flan and rice pudding too. Don’t sleep on this spot. The aguas frescas hit the spot too. Enjoy!!

CASH only. 100% delicious and they have an extensive Vegan menu. They served us chips with pico de gallo. From the vegan menu I had the Vegan Al Pastor, Vegan El Carne, Vegan Pollo & Vegan El Filete tacos with their dairy sour cream. The vegan pollo tostados and the vegan al pastor empanadas were also very delicious. The lady who took our order was super informative and friendly. For dessert we had the tres leche cake which was delicious and the best was the Horchata. 10/10 would recommend!
