    Best place to go for Mexican food in DUMBO, perhaps all of Brooklyn. The fish tacos are my fave! Service is attentive and friendly.

    I was not impressed. Sorry.. Too much lime in the guacamole and not so amazing fish tacos. Location is everything I see. Great presentation though! Extremely long wait between appetizer n main course.

    Get the Gran Margarita or anything with Fidencio Mezcal. Tacos are delish, too. Back patio with views of the bridge open May 5. Ole!

    The Elotes were almost as good as you'll get from a little old Mexican lady with a cart outside a gas station in Texas. So pretty damn good.

    Great tequila and mezcal collection. Classed up Mexican street food. The tlacoyo is a great choice, as is the chicken mole verde.

    This place is so cool. Even the bathroom hand dryers have a dia de los muertos design. To make matters better, the food is DELICIOUS, although the portions can be a little small. Service was eh though

    Back patio is amazing. Nestled under the Brooklyn bridge, inside a vine-covered wall.

    Visiting 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.

    Don't even try to get in if you look Hispanic.They'll tell you "there's a 20 minute wait" but they'll end up letting anyone else in, even with no reservations. It is ironic that it is a Mexican place.

    The guacamole, fish, and the tongue tacos are my favorite here. Sit at the bar and your food will arrive quicker.

    Margarita de Toronja Picante. Jalapeño syrup, habanero-infused tequila. Spice up your life, or something.

    Website 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.
