I was catching up with my aunts and realized we had been there for over an hour with no food. . It's a dinner it shouldn't take that long. Not for 4 orders of corned beef hash 2 eggs (2 scrambled soft 2 over easy), grits toast and coffee. After flagging down a waitress our toast came and 10 min later the rest of our meal. To their credit the eggs were cooled perfectly. I would have preferred the hash to be a little crispier and the grits were not creamy and too watery. I can give grace for being busy but 2 hrs at a diner is still unacceptable

((4.5 stars)) Reuben…read moreLuncheonette is very much an old school spot for breakfast and lunch & anything in-between eats-wise. the luncheonette is a medium-sized place with seating at the counter bar--no tables. food is literally cooked in front of you on the grill. very much a slender hole-in-the-wall places of a NYC that is rapidly vanishing. the space shows its age as a spot in its worn-in interior...nothing fancy just a casual gem of a place that has survived the decades of gentrification by serving the neighborhood and its locals. its hours are early morning through the afternoon. stopped here on a super cold day before closing just as it emptied out-- the guys, here, were super kind and stayed open so i could sit and eat. very hospitable. ordered their 2 eggs, home fries, and toast special because i didn't want to hold them up more than i already was. watching your food being made on the grill is a feast for the eyes and nose as your food sizzles on the grill before you get to eat. the eggs were nice and fluffy. the homefries are fantastic--seasoned well, served hot, soft but not mushy with a little crispness from the flattop. and the the toast rounds out the breakfast special. again, the staff are very hospitable and serve up simple comfort food dishes for breakfast and lunch. if you're in Williamsburg and up for some classic grill items then head to Reben Luncheonette and enjoy! oh and they have a variety of fresh squeeze juices, too!

I got the champagne sunset (sparkling wine, OJ, and grenadine) which was pretty good, but I only tasted the wine and none of the OJ or grenadine. We shared the nachos which were pretty good! I ordered the veggie rolled quesadilla, which was essentially a thicker quesadilla with more filling which I enjoyed! I also tried mango cart for the first time and it was surprisingly really tasty with a strong mango flavor! Overall, Calexico is a solid Mexican restaurant!

5/5 Some of the Best Bowls I've Had -- Anywhere…read more I ate here twice in one day -- that should tell you everything. This place is the real deal. The flavors are bold, layered, and ridiculously satisfying. The first bowl I had was loaded with crispy chicken katsu over a rich, velvety curry. The veggies were perfectly charred, the fried onions added the right crunch, and the portion was generous without feeling heavy. Paired with the kale salad (which is shockingly refreshing and not overdressed), it hit every note. Came back later for the ramen, and honestly... it might be some of the best I've had. The broth was deep and savory without being salty, the chashu had that perfect caramelized char, and the soft-boiled eggs were spot-on with a creamy yolk. The corn, seaweed, sprouts, scallions -- all fresh, vibrant, and balanced. You can tell the ingredients are treated with care. Service is friendly, the space is clean, and the food comes out hot and fast. You can tell there's real pride in what they're serving. If you're anywhere near this place, do yourself a favor and go. And if you're like me, you might end up going twice in a day.

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.
