Sasha МальчикJanuary 31, 2016Chilaquiles for brunch is just OK... Not matching my good Mexico memories of the dish.
Happy Hour: $2 tacos $3 beers $4 sangrias $5 margaritas. Need I say more...?
Great food but horrible service, every time I go. My suggestion sit at the bar.
Jay BlessedAugust 23, 2016This place just reminds me how much Franklin Ave and Crown Heights have changed. Food was ok.
The pepino margarita gives new meaning to the phrase "cool as a cucumber".
Leila CApril 30, 2016Food was terrible! Eggs were not fresh. I felt ill after. would never recommend this place to anyone who enjoys good Mexican food. Temperature of the refried beans=a one way ticket to food poisoning!
Two of their margaritas get me drunk. Proceed with caution
Angel SánchezAugust 7, 2016Mexican place, serving mexican food by americans for americans. Food is ok
Akua AidooJune 1, 2013One of the worst brunches I've had in Brooklyn. The eggs were powdered eggs, waitress had a tude, n she didn't even offer us our tea or juice
Freda MoonApril 22, 2013Ordered delivery. Asked for chiles rellenos, which they do very well, and got the chile relleno torta, which they do not do remotely well. Too bad, so sad.

"The spicy watermelon margarita is the perfect summer drink—refreshing, not too sweet or too strong, and just the right amount of spice."
Emily Wilson - 8.7
