20/10! This place is sooo good. From the service to the food! We had the quac and plantains and Mexican corn as appetizer and for entree the southern fried chicken tacos, shrimp tacos, rice and beans, nachos and two drinks. Man so good. Our server Nick was amaze and the music was on point. I will def be coming back to try different things and drinks. Shout out to the owner Deon love me a black owned business! read more

Solid spot! Realistically would give closer to a 4.3 (based on pricing), but rounding up since food and service were good. My husband and I swung by recently with a craving for nachos and were glad we did. Nachos were the perfect size for two people, we just wished it had a little more steak (which was an $8 upcharge). Also got a couple of tacos.. one was the huitlacoche, which was definitely more authentic than we've seen elsewhere (other places we've been to in the city have just used regular mushrooms and just called it huitlacoche). Flavor was good, though more subtle than what we've had in Mexico. We also got a carnitas taco, which had a generous serving of pork however was dripping in oil. They didn't have a lot of the beer listed on their menu, so would keep that in mind too. Not super crowded on a Friday night, so we were able to actually hear each other talk! read more

Took them an hour to bring out tacos, none of the food or drinks match the pictures on the menu

So good, I can't say enough about this place. This place had such a lively atmosphere at 7pm on Saturday night, we luckily were able to get a spot outside on a warm spring evening. If you're near Williamsburg, you must stop and try this Authentic Mexican place. Everything was so tasty and delicious. They have dishes that you simply can't get at most other places. (thinking Huitlacoche and Flor de Calabaza tacos) We started with a round of drinks and some Guac and chips. My wife and daughter had the Cucumber Mezcalita (which was fantastic), I had a pint of Monopolio Negra, my first time with this great Mexican lager (served nice and cold). The chips were warm and the Guacamole was so fresh and tasty. For dinner my wife had the Huitlacoche and Carnita tacos, my daughter had the Chorizo taco. I had a beef burrito. All were so delicious. As an added bonus, we were able to try an additional taco, the Flor de Calabaza taco. (so good) Carlos who took care of us was the best. He spent a lot of time talking with us about the restaurant and the specific dishes. This was such a great experience I can't wait to go back again. read more

Walked in to this place to meet a friend for a drink and catch up on a Sunday night. We were the only sitting guests at that time but really enjoyed our time there and the attention from Carlos, who provided great service. It was pretty chill, low lights and low music... Carlos knew that I didn't eat meat and he suggested their Mexican soy chorizo and it was really good. I had the burrito bowl - white rice, black beans, pico de gallo, side salad and the soyrizo! My drink was also amazing- it was a mezcal cucumber flavored - sweet and smoky. I'll def come back here soon. read more

Warm and inviting staff. Awesome service the house guacamole is delicious and the rum punch was exceptional! I'll be back!

Amazing service, very accommodating, we were seated by an open window and it def gave a nice breeze for this hot New York summer. We started with appetizers the guacamole was good was surprised they put pomegranate in it but it def did taste good. The drinks were pretty strong and tasty. We got the mojito, michelada and one of the pineapple drinks. We ordered to steak and eggs and also pancakes. Very good food!

amazing food, amazing staff, beautiful space. We loved our food and dining here. so special to have squash blossoms.

I'm from Texas and it's hard to find a good spacious spot with good food. The bathrooms were clean most importantly. This place had it all. They play a variety of music and I had a blast dancing. It was a great experience with friends and created wonderful memories. Party went on till 3:00am. The best part was that the bar tenders and cooks are friendly. #Cantina138 #buzzybooth read more
