    The spicy margarita is awesome. Made with house infused jalapeño tequila, triple sec jalapeño puree, house-made margarita mix and a sweet and salty rim. When it says spicy, it comes with real heat.

    Great addition to the neighborhood. Nice atmosphere, the food is good, but make sure you try the dips, you'll be hooked like I am. Have sat at a table, sat at the bar, and enjoyed myself each time.

    Delicious!! The bacon guac, tuna tostada, and carnitas tacos were some of the best I have had. The spiced marg was great too. Finally a good Mexican sit-down in Ft. Greene!

    The 3 dips for $10 were amazing. The sikil pak and tomato habanero dip were outta this world. Order the Al Pastor tacos and you won't be disappointed. Gary the owner bought me a shot of tequila. Love.

    The guacamole is amazing! But rest is expensive wannabe Mexican food perfect for gentrified Fort Greene. Devil eggs & $14 veg burrito disappoint, carnitas & pastor too dry to even pass as decent

    The tomatillo guacamole was pretty good as a twist on the classic. For tacos, skip the carnitas and steak --- al pastor all the way.

    the habañero salsa is a bit much. ask for it on the side with something more soothing like the mango or pico de gallo

    Yes, the veggie burrito has kale, avocado, and beets. And it is delicious. This is what we've been training for, Brooklyn.

    I'm a fan of the spicy pork burrito. It's probably the size of 1.5 chipotle burritos—and much tastier.

    Bacon Guac: this shit should be illegal. Mac & Cheese + Fried Chicken tacos are like a party in your mouth.

    Boozy brunch with no time limits = win. But it's pricey, so it's an occasional rather than regular spot for me.
