This place is so solid. Been going here since i could remember and the food is always the same. Service is super friendly and inviting, prices are decent, food is decent. I'm just super loyal to these guys and hope they never leave read more

2 words: Mexican Diner. Me and my friend stop by because it's the only restaurant in the area open at 10 pm that accepts card. Odd. It's NYC. On a Saturday and restaurants are closed. We walk in and wait to be sat. Fucking crickets. Then it occurs to my friend, maybe you seat yourself? So we awkwardly shuffle through the restaurant and seat ourselves. Not even a second later and a waiter comes with menus. Cool. Next time post a sign on the door saying "self seating" so I don't look like an ass waiting 15 mins to be sat. Waiter was friendly and chirpy. Kudos to him. He must have been working a long shift and still smiling and being peppy. I get the combo which was the burritos with a hard shell taco. I tell him I don't want a hard shell. Mister waiter then tells me, he can fix it for me and do it with soft flour tortillas. Um, thanks. All I asked was for a substitution. Don't act like you're doing this great big service to me. Food takes forever to come. But there is a highlight! I asked if they have green hot sauce and he said yes! He brought this huge bowl of hot sauce. Not that skimpy little dish they usually put it in. And then says "if you want more, let me know." Is this was love feels like? Lmfao. Food sucked. You know the type of crap you put into your body when you're drunk? Don't care what it is, you just want to shove your body with grease and every fattening food under the sun? This is that place. The burrito wasn't even a burrito. It was some half assed wrap with a shitload of cheese on top. Like to a point it was absurd. WHO EATS ALL THAT CHEESE?? Taco was decent but so mediocre. Where's the salsa? It was literally just tough meat, with a pile of lettuce topped with a ludicrous amount of cheese again. The meat was too salty and I just couldn't finish it. It's a shame because the prices are dirt cheap. Single burrito is under $6. Even Chitpole isn't that cheap. We get our check and tip is already included. Why? It's just 2 people. Did they think we were going to skip out on tip? It's a meh place. Staff is friendly, food takes too long to come out, food isn't all that good but prices are dirt cheap. Go for yourself and see if it's to your liking. read more

I come to this Mexican restaurant very often! It's been in east Williamsburg for as long as i can remember. Food is 100% legit and very tasty! Most importantly price is very comprtitive Don't miss this spot!! read more

I order takeout from this restaurant often because I work in the area. This is a no-frills establishment, not for those looking for upscale ambience or trendy eats. But for consistent, tasty diner food, it hits the spot. I sometimes order their breakfast sandwiches, wraps, and salads, but my favorite comfort meal is their breaded chicken torta with cheese. Tortas are one of my favorite Mexican dishes and this restaurant does it justice. It has refried beans, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and jalapeños, all of which gives the sandwich a variety of textures and flavors. The meat is always flavorful, moist, and tender, and the Oaxaca cheese really ties the whole sandwich together in my opinion. For a torta lover like me, Grand Morelos always satisfies my craving. read more

Was so disappointed ! Been a customer for over 20 years and I ordered an American Grill cheese ..first it came pale and the cheese had not melted..showed the server who then returned to the kitchen..shortly she comes back and I get served this dry,hard, over cooked grilled cheese...had to take a pic..when I complained, server said maybe it's a different cheese??!!! Huh..smh..the pic may look like it was edible..believe me..it was not! As I was leaving, the server showed my plate to another server..she shakes her head..if you know it is not very good, why serve it??!!! read more

HORRIBLE!! Ordered and food never shows up and phone never answered. unprofessional unreliable and all round awful. So frustrating that they left us hanging for 2 hours and don't care. read more

I'm writing this review to bring to light the shady business practices that we encountered at Grand Morelos. The first time we came here, it was late and we were just happy to find someplace open near us. We ordered some hamburgers and a couple beers. The order came out to over $50, which immediately set off my math alarm. "Maybe this is one of those places that charges an arm and a leg for a beer." So be it, I should have asked how much the beers were before we ordered two. The 2nd time we come here after a late event, same order. One veggie burger, one cheeseburger. Checking what our total should be before tax and tip, I know it should be $23.75. Well when the bill finally arrives, somehow my base amount is $30.08, with a extra 4% customer service fee, bringing my total (apparently before tip) to $31.28. Now how did we jump from $23.75, all the way up to $30.08, and what is the 4% customer service charge? When we asked our waiter to bring an itemized bill showing how we got up to that number, lo and behold an almost 18% gratuity had already been added us without our knowledge. The kicker, is that you would never know this, and the bill they DO bring you has suggested tip amounts so you likely (as I did) will end giving two tips. This is in fact illegal to add a gratuity to a customer's credit card without their knowledge. If it was listed as a SERVICE FEE, that would be ok according to NY law, but they already had a service fee as a separate charge on our bill. If you do eat here, check your bill and ask for an itemized receipt. The workers were absolutely double dipping at the customer's expense. read more

I've used DoorDash to get their food delivered to my old office, so why not stop by and see what their service is all about. The service here is good, you walk in, choose your seat, someone comes over and gets you situated with all the things you need. It's got a real local vibe... I wouldn't travel or go out of my way to eat here. Their tacos are good ... I recommend getting al pastor tacos if you're in the mood for tacos. My waiter didn't fully understand English... which I'm cool with, but she added something on top of my tacos that I didn't want (let it slide) .. OH THEY'VE GOT BAKED GOODS / PASTRIES! They seem authentic ... everything you'd find at a Mexican bakery + a lil more. Would recommend, but more for takeout or a large party, since there's not much to see here.... bring the party. read more

Amazing Mexican food and great service, the people working were nice and the food was delicious

Nice authentic Mexican spot. They have a good amount of food and dessert options on the menu. I got the Carne Asada plate, the meat was ok but the rice and beans were the best part of the plate. Also got the tres leches cake, delicious. read more

Absolutely one of the best places around. The mexican dishes are all good- every one i've tried. With particular emphasis on the nachos- with some sort of witchcraft, the nachos here stay crispy and crunchy despite being loaded with whatever cheese and other goodness you ask for. The nachos alone make this spot better than anything for miles around. Good, generous seating. Friendly service. Tremendous, diner-like but better-than-diner quality menu selections. And don't forget the bakery selections. Every sweets item I've tried here has been outstanding. Do it. This place doesn't do anything less than excellent. YES to Grand Morelos. read more

This place is nasty and the customer service here sucks they're not accommodating to the customers. I wouldn't recommend spending money here considering the poor service that they provide here. read more

There aren't too many places like Grand Morelos around anymore. Where else does one find a joint doubles as a bakery and serves diner style Mexican food 24 hours a day? Not often in Billyburg, not often enough in the rest of the Latin hoods of Queens and Brooklyn. I've had some real goldmine moments here: 1) scoring a late night birthday cake for a party that didn't start till after midnight 2) finding this place after "street side tacos in the rain" just didn't sound appealing or 3) a late night enchilada when no other place would serve it. And while all of my experiences seem to be in the dead of the night, I can definitely say that Grand Morelos is not my thing in the afternoon. Why? Because the food is really only somewhere in the middle; a satisfactory Mexican meal when there is no other choice. It might be crowded (at least the day I went) in the day time, but like one's favorite neighborhood bar, only the real fun happens at night. Take for my first time here: a drunken Mexican man was arguing in Spanish with a woman over the counter about how he wanted sopa azteca (tortilla soup), but came away empty handed ... but not entirely. He eventually sat down and took a few bites of someone's food, while that person went to the bathroom, which caused a (hilarious) ruckus all on it's own. Or my most recent experience around 2AM: a group of young guys very loudly strike up a conversation about how difficult Spanish words are and how unflattering they sound when bothering to make an attempt. One orders in quite possibly the most awful sounding Spanish ever (Something along the lines of Twitter/@ElBloombito), to which the waitress understood all, prompting a roar of laughter from the group. The premise is usually the same for every visit. It's well past the stroke midnight, I've had a little bit in me, and I'm usually with a group of folks who are in the same predicament. That's when their flautas and enchiladas come to the rescue, filling our tummies with of all carby goodness with dazzling side of habanero and chipotle. The hearty nacho platter is also a solid pick, a greasy pile of tortilla chips doused in cheese, guacamole, crema, pico de gallo, and a protein of choice that would make any bar junk food fan proud. Avoid the burritos, go with their steamed tamales (of which YMMV on whether or not it'll maintain form and not fall apart) and the safest meats would be carnitas and chorizo - all other forms of carne have been dry and bland from my experience. This isn't the kind of Mexican food any California/Texas person is going to love. It's just inexpensive Mexican food available to the masses at all hours (including the ungodly) with an addition of a bakery. It's spacious enough for big groups and though the service is a bit slow at times, it does the job when the only other alternative is a divey deli or a dumpy diner. Orale! read more

The food was ok, nothing crazy. The service was crappy! We waited 8 min to get a menu my husband had to tell the waitress who was literally watching us as we walked in where the menus were if she was too busy to bring some over. She bought us the menu and literally 30 seconds later she asks us if were ready to order, like wtf??! The Carne enchilada from the cemita had the texture of ground beef, i ordered enchiladas verdes platter (2 enchiladas w/ rice & beans) i asked the waitress to make them chicken and cheese and she explained to me the cook already put quesillo (Oaxaca) cheese into the enchiladas then top it with some more cheese i said ok fine i get the enchiladas and they had zero Oaxaca cheese inside and it was only topped with cotija cheese. I asked the other waitress to please give me what i had ordered which was what the woman initially explained, i got my plate back 1 min. Later and the cook just threw Oaxaca cheese on top of the enchiladas. Ok w/e we ate the food, We ask for the check and the F'ing waitress added automatic gratuity! Like it was just my husband and I (2 PEOPLE!!) and it says suggested gratuity 15%, don't get me wrong I'm a good tipper but the service was shit! Her attitude towards us and her zero effort and she adds more than the 15% suggested gratuity to my bill! Like wtf?! I would've left her $4 for the absolute crappy service she put out and even that was too much. Ontop of the gratuity issue she charged me $2 for some Oaxaca cheese over top of my enchiladas, she explained it was served with it inside the enchiladas then it turns out to be a lie and charges me for HER mistake. She needs to learn the damn menu ! If you want better better service and better food go to taco bell you'll save yourself the money on the same quality of food read more

Simple food at good prices make this a neighborhood gem. Comfortable booths and a large menu spanning Mexican and American food pretty much guarantee if you come with a group everyone will find something they like on the menu. I went with the Cheese Flautas Plate (3 for $8) which included rice and beans. Definitely simple food, but tasty as well. The green sauce served with the free salsa and chips was very good. My friend recommended and ordered a torta, which I never order because I feel like sandwiches are an affront to Mexican food. That said, her torta looked fantastic and I would probably order one myself next time. read more

*update* Someone named Tim M from Manhattan asked why I would order oatmeal from a Mexican restaurant. My answer is: 1. It was the morning 2. A full breakfast menu is offered all day at this restaurant, from Cereal, to Pancakes & Grits, if it is placed on the menu, my expectation is that it be cooked & served correctly. 3. This place is known for its area of expertise, Mexican food, but it's not limited to Mexican food. read more

This place has bad costumer services, they totally botched my order which totaled almost $100. Called them to see if I could get a partial refund since I ordered cheese flutas and they gave me chicken and I am a vegetarian and could not eat it, but the lady who picked up the phone named Flor was very rude. A meal for 3 totaled almost $100 and at the end two of us couldn't eat our meals. Too expensive for such bad service read more

Best tortas around town. Beside a stand on the north side. Definitely should order the breaded chicken. But it ends there. Everything else is mediocre. I really hate that they take their own tip. Even when you order for pick up. To me that doesn't make sense why would you take tip when I'm just picking up. Allow me to give it to you. Only place I know that does that which I feel it's disrespectful to the customer. I've eaten there one time the service sucks. It took them 45 mins to come back to us just to refill water. And when we sent food back they took awhile to take it off our table. The upsetting part was when our check came they automatically took $18 for their tip. Something they didn't deserve. read more

Poor customer service and disrespectful service staff that acts like they do not want to give you food or even a box or bag. Staff has a terrible attitude and bad phone manners. Asked for a box and they refused to give me one and then refused to take my order. I don't understand how they make money if they don't want to serve their customers. Extremely dissatisfactory experience I do not recommend this place to anyone. Apparently they are pretty bad at making anything but tacos, like they can't even make eggs and bacon cause nobody gives enough of a shit to try. Sad. read more

2$ Tamales 24 hours a day. Need I say more? This is a cute mexican diner in East Williamsburg. Like most diners, you're not going to hit the jackpot but there's a lot on the menu that won't disappoint you especially at the price point...and you're state or sobriety while here. My go-to spot for after late late night drinks. My favorite thing to order are their tamales. Beef and chicken are bomb.com. I'm not sure how it's possible to sell them at 2$ each(that's less than a granola bar!) but I'm not complaining. Chicken burrito is good also. Free delivery until 10pm. read more

I was here recently and I'm glad I examined by receipt carefully because they put an automatic gratuity on my bill and then had another line for a tip in the credit card receipt.

horrible!! they scam with the prices!! i saw a dead mouse the worker tried to hide it!

Tragic huevos rancheros. Fantastic, enormous tacos at $2.50 a piece. Slowest service evooorrrr. These were all mental notes zipping through my head as I sat in a rigid plastic booth picking at my sad breakfast of a fried egg over a stale tostada. The beans on the side were lukewarm but flavorful, unfortunately that didn't save them from being gross. A fly buzzed around my fork. My friend looked at my sad eyes inquisitively, tilting his head like a dog-- "Baroo? You don't like your breakfast? Munch.. munch..." he said as he devoured his carne asada tacos after he had smothered them in an aromatic creamy green sauce. I tried the green sauce on my food hoping it would salvage it somehow--- no dice. That dish was really, really bad. Reluctantly, my friend extended his taco to me and let me have a bite. It was one of the most delicious tacos I had ever tasted in my life, bursting with fixings and flavor--- they even remembered the radishes! I only got one cup of coffee in because the server was sooooo slow. It was basically like self service, we had to get up to ask for things like more green sauce, napkins, water refills... etc. Those tacos were so good, the meat was tender and not the usual whatever gristle most taco places use. It was marinaded, a key loving touch--- and the tortillas were warm. Mmmmmm. I want this place again. It's like going out with a guy and he's otherwise awful except for his tacos. You're revolted by the idea of him but then you think of his taco and you're tacomatized. ....yeah, I'd hit that again. God help me. read more

The service sucks here. The women are not even a little tiny bit friendly and they hate you. They really do hate you. There's a hoard of ladies milling about behind the counter with seemingly no order. Every time we order food to go it takes 30 times longer than it should. Sometimes they'll even leave our bag of food on the counter near the kitchen forever while they're bumping into one another and crowding around the cash register and when we finally inquire as to the whereabouts of our long-awaited food they'll go and get it and throw it in front of us without a word. Be super polite. Tip well. Speak in Spanish. Don't speak in Spanish. None of it matters- they'll still be gruff and disinterested. That's irrelevant though! The tamales are fantastic! The guacamole is fantastic. The green hot sauce is delicious. You can eat there 24 hours a day. I love, love, love this place. More about the tamales: they're moist, tender, juicy, and full of flavor. I think about them all the time. Grand Morelos took away my California homesickness the moment I sat down to a chicken and jalapeno tamale. It was probably one of the best I've ever had, anywhere. read more

Every time I come here I get more convince to not come again. The food was not all that bad but the service is crappy the waitress always has a attitude. So when my boyfriend and I got the check (that took forever to get) we notice that the waitress added 3$ to the total of the check and she circle (15% suggested tip) well suggested means to put in to consideration if WE (custumers) want to leave a tip depending on the service! I didn't like that these waitress are forcing us to tip them for a crappy service! read more

It's a Mexican diner. That fact alone is enough to earn 3 stars from me. I love diners and I love Mexican food and this is a marriage I heartily endorse. The service really really really sucks (PAINFUL), but I think the food more than makes up for it. Everything I've had (tortas, sopes, enchiladas, burritos, all with various meats, and horchata, batidos) has been great. They have booze. They are open all night. There are booths. The price is so so right. You probably want to come here. read more

24 hour mexican food diner. Please love me forever. I want to marry Grand Morelos. I will be monogamous to you, and YOU ONLY. This place is fantastic. The food is fresh and I am always satisfied. My favorite thing to do is come to this place kind of inebriated and then come back 4-5 hours later hungover. It really cures any drinking related ailment I might have. The chilaquiles are spicy and DELICIOUS. The tortas are incredible. Burritos?? Out of this god forsaken world. I'm addicted to their chorizo. It's just the right amount of spicy to make you tingle but not enough to make your face to melt off. Which is fine because I need my face in my wedding pictures to this restaurant. The fresh orange and carrot juice drives me just absolutely wild. I love it so much. That fresh pulp in there? Sign me the F up. Don't pass up this place. Just don't.
