It took a good 5 to 10 minutes for a server to come over with water and introduce herself. We got the plantains which came with a dipping sauce that was pretty watery. The plantains were OK and came quickly. I got the mango salad with grilled chicken, which was good but not great. The place did not seem very crowded. However, the service was atrocious. The server was very nice and I'm not sure if she was the only server there. Getting water refills, which is pretty important was far and few between. She also never asked if we wanted dessert. if you're in the area the place is decent, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

Although they were loud and having a great time, it was not distracting and did not take away from the space. There was a tv on the side wall which had a basketball game showing and there was some great music playing over their speaker system. Luis, our server was quick to bring us water and let us know that the QR code on the table display would have the menu, including cocktails. There was also a large display on the wall with the beer choices and some cocktails as well. The food and drinks were amazing (see pictures).

If you're tired of the massive lines at the more "famous" taco spots in Manhattan, McOndo Los Tacos…read moreon Grand Street is the neighborhood gem you've been looking for. While many newer spots have popped up recently, McOndo has been a staple of the Williamsburg/East Williamsburg border since it opened in 2013, offering a laid-back vibe and some of the most consistent Mexican food in Brooklyn. The Best Tacos: Shrimp Tacos: Often cited as the star of the menu. They are plump, perfectly seasoned, and served with a generous portion of fresh guacamole. Steak (Asada): The meat is well-seasoned and tender, avoiding the "chewy" pitfall many street tacos fall into. Al Pastor: Classic, juicy, and topped with the essential pineapple for that sweet-and-savory balance. Special Mention: Their Steak Nachos are legendary in the neighborhood--don't be surprised if they become your new "death row meal." The Sauces & Heat: McOndo doesn't skimp on the flavor. Their Salsa Verde is bright, tangy, and adds a refreshing lift to the heavier meats. For those who like a challenge, their Red Salsa packs a serious, smoky punch. If you're ordering delivery, they are known for sending plenty of extra sauce containers--a rare and appreciated trait in NYC. Atmosphere: It's a chic, narrow bar/taqueria with a "cool neighborhood" energy. It's perfect for a date or a late-night bite (they are often open until 1:00 AM or later). Drinks: Their Margaritas and Palomas are strong and fresh, making it a great happy hour spot. Outdoor Seating: They have a great sidewalk setup that's perfect for people-watching on Grand Street during the warmer months. Pro Tip: Unlike many "cash-only" old-school spots, they accept credit cards, which makes it an easy choice for a spontaneous dinner.

We chose to do mimosas with huevos rancheros and chilaquiles (without sour cream and cheese). The huevos rancheros came with a side of chorizo which was an unexpectedly pleasant surprise. I think it made the dish taste better bc the beans lacked a bit of flavor and it definitely needed that extra salt from the chorizo. The chilaquiles were okay but I enjoyed it better with the chorizo from the huevos rancheros. Only small issue to nitpick is that the eggs had a piece of eggshell on top but it was easy to pick off. We also added on an order of fish and carnitas tacos because we enjoyed the atmosphere inside and wanted to stay longer. The fish taco was a bit fishy but not too bad for what it was. The carnitas also had a weird aftertaste that I didn't like. I've had better but it wasn't entirely off putting. I will note that there were a lot of fatty pieces, which may be a preference issue. I know some places tend to include lots of fat but I don't particularly like the texture so I picked off a lot of it. Note: The cilantro is included in the guacamole so if you ask for no cilantro, they won't add the guacamole on top. Luckily, our server was very nice and understanding. She provided the guac on the side after I asked for it even after ordering the taco without cilantro. Our server was very attentive in the beginning and checked on us pretty often to ensure our drinks were refilled.

BANG FOR YOUR BUCK. Mom and Pop shop with delicious, authentic Mexican food that will leave you…read morereaching for your sweat pants. Whatever you do...get the burritos! Come in the AM for the breakfast burrito, which is life-changing. Breakfast burrito is filled with thick slices of bacon, breakfast potatoes, cheddar cheese, and scrambled eggs. You'll be full until dinner. Carnitas burrito: generous serving of carnitas, refried beans, Mexican rice, lettuce, tomato, avocado, with two sides of salsa.

If you finish this whole burrito, consider yourself an elite member of the clean plate club. The service is top-notch: the owners are in everyday, cooking for every guest.

In short, Lindo Guerrero Restaurant is a stroll through everything great about Mexican cuisine. Worth every dollar, and at that, quite the bargain as you'll eat like a king for under twelve bucks.

The tacos here live up to the hype!…read more My friends and I came here for dinner on a weeknight. Around 6:30pm, it was easy for the four of us to snag a table in the back, near the back patio, but there is some seating in the front part of the restaurant as well. I ordered one of their mezcal cocktails with a Tajín rim (El Amante) which was yummy then we started with an order of chips and salsa, chips and guacamole and esquites. The esquites was fantastic, but we wished the guac was larger and came with more chips. For my entree, I ordered a tripa taco and a cecina taco. I cannot decide between a favorite because they were both so good. The tripa was crispy and tender in all the right places. I was worried about the cecina taco being too salty but that wasn't the case, it was perfection. We all appreciated how they served each taco with double corn tortillas, so they held up well. And of course, we couldn't leave without trying the churros. They were just the right size 2 people to share in my opinion but we were all pretty satisfied by then so we were ok splitting 4 ways. Our waiter was really funny and checked up on us regularly. The music here was also great (a lot of Bad Bunny), and the decor was on point. Good food and a great atmosphere!
