I remember visiting this place when it first opened. I loved it the and still love it now. The shrimp tacos were phenomenal! We grabbed a few right before they closed and it was the best decision of our lives. What a delicious taco treat! Can't wait to visit again when I'm back in town. Outdoor and indoor seating Fast service A gem off Franklin Ave read more

Nice neighborhood spot. Got our food out quickly, we sat at a table on the sidewalk. There's not a lot of seating indoors. The frozen marg is good and they offer different flavors. It is a bit full-body in the tartness that made it hard to have more than one imo. My steak quesadilla was yummy!!! My friends love their tacos (tried almost every flavor) read more

holy sh** horrible experience music so loud the freaking cashier couldn't hear me , can't add ingredients inside quesadilla , 13 for chips and guacamole which isn't that good. HORRIBLE THE CASHIER IS SO SLOW AND D*mb read more

I always love coming to Guerros! The shrimp taco is my favorite. They're typically very fast too, the wait is never longer than 10 minutes. Very calm atmosphere too, I enjoy the new outside seating read more

Stopped by this afternoon while in the area. We got some tacos and with chips and guacamole. We both loved what we got! Everything was fresh and flavorful. Will definitely be coming back for their happy hour sometime soon. Not exactly a dive but it's super casual. Go up to the counter to pay and they'll bring your food out to you. Noticed some other reviews mentioning issues with service but didn't have any problems when we were there! read more

The tacos are always good! I had the hanger steak, fried shrimp, fried chicken.My favorite was steak, but they were all so tasty. Service was great, and the frozen margaritas was so good as well read more

I had the chance to taste a variety from their menu, everything was delicious. Would get again!

I've been a big Gueros fan for years.. in fact the Smith and 9th location was ideal for a Bay Ridgians due to fifteen minute ride on R train. It was my post Atlantic Avenue shopping stop as well. That location had a long bar, cozy feel and great margaritas. The real star was their Shrimp tacos, fried to perfection with a kickin sauce. Unfortunately, COVID ended my perfect taco place. I remembered comparing pictures of Smith and Ninth to this one on Prospect Place. It looked tiny compared to my one and only and pledged my allegiance to the 4th Avenue location. Well folks, that all changed because today after running some errands on Franklin Avenue, I decided today was the day for a taco visit. The inside is small but the service is friendly and very welcoming. There is bar stool seating with countertop and small picnic style tables. There is an enclosed area added as well as outdoor, during COVID. I ordered my shrimp and chicken Tinga taco and my first cup of cafe con leche via Mexican Coke. I started talking to one of the employees as I waited for my food and learned this location has been here 15 years and the cook had been here around 13 years. I also learned they have a Dram Shop on Smith Street that serves burgers, sandwiches, salads, tacos of course and full bar. Now to the good stuff, my tacos! What can I say about the fried shrimp, pickled onion, slaw, cotija, cilantro cream, chipotle mayo wrapped in a flour tortilla??? I'm speechless due to savoring every bite as I write this review. The chicken Tinga taco is lip smacking good; shredded chicken cooked in a tomato sauce with adobo and topped with queso Fresca. Gueros is located between Prospect Place and Franklin Avenue. As I've stated in previous reviews regarding eateries on Franklin, it is becoming a mini food Mecca in Brooklyn. If you haven't, start exploring this wonderful neighborhood. Viva Gueros! read more

This place is our taco go-to and it's always super yummy! We usually get the steak tacos and chips with queso. I do recommend going on any day except for Tuesday because they get really busy. We usually get it to go but they do have space to sit down and enjoy your meal. read more

A Very divey-like restaurant in BK with pretty decent tacos. If you're looking for quick service then i'd recommend avoiding the rush which seems to be a little after 5p (esp on a weekday). The inside fits a few people along the windowsill and maybe 1 or 2 tables. If you're party more than 3, i'd recommend sitting outside. If there's one taco that you come here for -- let it be the blackened catfish taco. It won't disappoint. read more

Gueros - Blackened Catfish Taco (left) Al Pastor Taco (right) - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Gueros' food is solid, and I still have goodwill in my heart from them when they served margs to-go during COVID. But every single time I come in, they're only taking cash -- and they only tell you that once you've ordered. The cashier doesn't even appear apologetic. It's incredibly frustrating. read more

I'd come across this restaurant a few times when looking for grilled steak and chicken tacos, so of course with taco Tuesday upon us, I sprung for dinner here. When I entered, the music selections was fantastic! It was like being at your abuela's house on a Saturday morning. The cashier was really friendly and help me to decide on which items I should get. You shouldn't come here hungry because you'll end up leaving with everything. I narrowed down my choices to the chicken nachos and a steak taco. I was driving so the temptation had to go away for a Margarita. I was given a table number stand to wait in the indoor seating in the "Golden" room. The food arrived quickly..... sensational. Everyone was raving about the chicken nachos, and they were absolutely delicious. I also ordered a steak taco (86 the beans) and it was quite tasty as well. All the food was a little bit saltier than I'm accustomed to, but an extra glass of water solved that quickly, lol. It was definitely a meal I would repeat. I only made it through half my nachos, so fingers crossed on the reheat! read more

I've been going to Gueros for years and never wrote a review SMH. 5 stars is for the consistency, flavor and price. I'm a huge fan of the nachos (steak or chicken) and queso!! And then there are the margaritas! Just get them. Also the nachos are big enough to share. read more

The best tacos I've ever had in Brooklyn. They offer a wide variety of tacos and all hit the spot! I had the avocado tacos, blackened catfish and fried shrimp. The moment each touched my tastebuds, they went into a collective dance! The fried items were super crispy and flavoured to perfection, while toppings sat fresh. Ps- remember to add their green creamy sauce for extra razzle dazzle! read more

Ordered delivery shrimp and brisket tacos with the chips and guacamole and was super disappointed. Was wanting to try somewhere new and saw a recommendation on Reddit for this place, and wish I hadn't take them up on it. Dry, tasteless, and overall just bad. Wouldn't order again but it didn't make me sick or anything. read more

#1 tacos in NYC and it's not even close. The only way I can explain that this place isn't rated higher is because most people in NYC are too used to eating French-Mexican or Italian-Mexican tacos (NO! Herbs de Provence is not a Mexican seasoning). These are the real deal... the only tacos we've found in NYC that taste anything like actual Mexican tacos (more like West Coast style tacos, but close enough). They're pricey, and the service is a little scattered but I'll be damned if we don't come back here next time we want a bit of realness. For a treat try the picadillo and carnitas tacos. And don't sleep on the fried chicken and fried shrimp tacos either. #1 tacos in NYC and it's not even close. read more

I was fortunate enough to come across this establishment on a brisk November night before going to the Botanical Gardens here in Brooklyn. I came across the name on Apple Maps as I desperately searched for dinner using the keyword, restaurant. Most of the results were closed but alas, Gueros was my knight in shining armor. I stumbled upon a few Yelp reviews that gave me hope and it did not disappoint at all. By far my favorite taco in Brooklyn right next to La Superior and Taqueria Ramirez. As a native Angeleno, it is really nice finding a Mexican restaurant who does tacos with integrity and love. The textures and flavors were perfect in each bite and I really loved the salsa. Food, service and ambiance were great for my tastes! read more

Love gueros (have been going for years), but they definitely me projectile food poisoning last night D:

got the roasted veggie quesadilla and that was great. chips and queso, also decent. but the Guac?? absolutely spoiled. after the first bite, I thought maybe it was me, took another bite and almost threw up. I also got the beans and greens, nothing special, def needs more flavor. read more

We were just out exploring the neighborhood and walking down Franklin Ave and we got to a place where the restaurants seemed to stop so we were about to turn around then we saw this down another street and stopped. Very happy we did because it was the perfect lunch spot. You go inside to order and then they bring the food to you. The tacos are about 4/5 dollars each and they have an interesting assortment; I had the steak and also the fried avocado and jalapeño tacos- both were very good. They also have queso blanco which I don't always see in New York and it was so good! They also have some covered outdoor seating with heat lamps overhead and some that are just in the fully open air depending on your preference. read more

Great tacos! It's a nice local place; be forewarned, it can get packed, but that's because of how good it is. I love the fried chicken taco, it's my favorite thing to eat there. I wish they had more non alcoholic drink options, but I'm mostly satisfied. read more

Just ordered the exact same order and got something completed different. Overcooked shrimp in a stale tortilla and then the queso is all of the sudden orange? It was white like last week. Do not recommend. read more

A solid spot! It's packed at night so be prepared for a line and a wait. The mushroom tacos and blackened catfish tacos were worth the wait though. Make sure to try the green salsa that's out! It's a great addition to any taco. read more

I'm in California mostly and I can tell you these tacos are better than most tacos there. The mushroom ones and the Al Pastor are fantastic. I'm thinking of going back there asap. read more

I ordered a fried shrimp taco and Al Pastor for my girl and then 2 fried avacado tacos for myself. They brought all 4 tacos out in the same dish. I explained that i have a shellfish allergy and couldn't eat my two tacos after they were in contact with the shrimp one. I watched the waitress go inside n simply have them out my 2 tacos in a different dish and bring them right back out to me. When I addressed the fact that doing that, changes nothing, I was met with a nasty attitude. Another waitress then tried to explain to my girlfriend that it didn't really make a difference because the shrimp is fried in the same oil as everything else! Absolutely ridiculous and unprofessional. read more

Stopped by for a bite to eat and enjoyed it. The chicken nachos was good, the brisket taco was really good, the shrimp taco was good also. The fried chicken taco was just ok and my friend said his grilled taco was just ok. They had a lot of take out orders, door dash etc going ok in this place. The inside space is small but for a party of two we were ok. They have outdoor seating out front and it's covered. read more

Omg the shrimp nachos tho!!!! They are a must have and I heard the steak nachos are also to die for. I want to try them but every time I get to Gueros the shrimp nachos are calling me. I will get the steak the next time and update!! Hopefully lol The only reason I removed a star is to acknowledge that while the prices seem to have increased (inflation is real and I recognize it), the food quality hasn't as well, or at least stayed the same. I'll be back and hope it's better. Then I'll update. read more

Thought the tacos here were decent also wasn't too pricey. Had the shrimp and catfish tacos; shrimp had loads of flavor but the Blackened Catfish Taco was find of bland. Also ended up getting the nachos which was pretty good as well. Lastly, the margarita size was good but wasn't that tasty recommend getting additional flavors. The service was very quick which I liked. Big downfall was the place had NOOOO heating!!! It was brick in there workers were even bundled up RIDICULOUS! read more

The place that took my taste buds to a whole nother NACHO level...yup it's GUEROS Brooklyn!!! This update is brought to you by a young woman who loves some good Tex-Mex, but that's nacho concern right? Lol! It was only right for me to do this update after my visit here a couple days ago (refer to my last check-in) since it has been a while before then; such a long while. Well, I came back to show Brooklyn how much I miss thee and how could I do that without paying GUEROS a quick visit. Did you know that Güero is a word used in Mexico and some parts of Central and South America to denote a person of fair complexion or with blond, light brown or red hair? The Mexican word Güero ultimately originates from the Spanish word huero (empty), and from the phrase huevo huero; meaning an empty egg that was lost during incubation. The phrase huevo huero was referred to as a sick person and from this came the association with the color white. Not to run off topic, I just thought that was interesting to know. Ok, ok now while the food here may not quite be your traditional Mexican, it sure is amazing. Featured in Grub Street, Thrillist, The Infatuation, Zagat, and The New York Times you will be sure to know why so many others would express their approval. The inside of the restaurant is very compressed, prior to Covid it would be like a typical NYC train car during rush hour ( if you know what I mean). There is a small bathroom inside for customer use only as well, although I am still trying to figure how they managed to fit it in. They always have and still do offer outdoor seating and are definitely taking precautions in following the health/safety regulations due to Covid. The menu is small but everything on it is packed with big flavor. It simply consists of Tacos, Quesadillas, Nachos, sides and drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic). No Burritos you ask!? Nope. None. They pretty much list each food they have and the fillings (meat or vegetable) you can add to your liking. I have tried almost everything but I usually wind up getting the same fillings. My favs are the fried chicken or brisket nachos, and the mushroom, steak or fried avocado & jalapeno tacos. The prices have always been a bit moderate at GUEROS with tacos ranging from $4.50 to $5.00 for one, quesadillas are $6.00 plain and an extra $2.00 for filling, and the nachos starting from $12.00 with an extra $4.00 for a topping of your choice. Of all of my favorites, I will start with the nachos. The nachos are a top favorite among patrons and it seems like they taste just as good as I remember since I last visited. Served in a paper boat like shaped tray, the chips are fresh yellow corn tortillas piled high with their signature queso blanco, spicy pico de gallo, sliced avocado or guacamole and a topping of your choice. Although brisket tends to be a tough cut of meat, I can tell the brisket filling at GUEROS is slow cooked because of it's tenderness. The beef is shredded perfectly and falls apart in every bite with a braised like flavor. The fried chicken is cut up in boneless bite size breast meat deep fried lightly golden with crisp breading. The meat is seasoned light but well, however they don't give enough chicken on the nachos. Every order I had would have way more chips than chicken. Maybe it's due to the high demand of the fried chicken in other dishes so they have to stretch out the servings (shrug). The chips are a tad salty so make sure you have a good beverage to wash it down with. Margarita anyone? Lol. The best part of these nachos (and I mean the BEST) are their signature queso blanco and the spicy pico de gallo. Both add a taste which differentiates their nachos from any other I've taste by far. The queso is salty, hot and dripping melted with a touch of habanero kinda spice to it. It is drizzled onto the layer of chips before all other toppings are added and is not recommended to put on directly if you are ordering to go or delivery. Instead request it on the side so your chips can maintain their crunch. The pico de gallo has fresh tomato, cilantro, white onion, and de-seeded jalapeno marinated in vinegar. They give just a dollop to keep the nachos from getting soggy while adding that touch of pico flavor. The tacos are also another popular item with the fried avocado + jalapeno being the top choice. The avocado and jalapeno are fried with light with crisp batter, added is their pickled house slaw on top giving it a tang in taste... Simply delicious. You can not go wrong with each of these popular menu items that make regulars and newbies flock the door. GUEROS Brooklyn was and still is the place to be for great Tex-Mex food in Crown Heights. Be sure to check them out at 605 Prospect Place, Brooklyn N.Y. 11238 or if you live nearby order via Seamless, Grubhub and Ubereats. They open late afternoon from 4pm to 10pm with delivery starting at 5pm. Cheers to some of Brooklyn's best Tacos, Nachos & Margaritas! read more

Kind of sad, I used to love this place. There tacos have deteriorated and became tasteless ! It's around 4-6.50 for a taco depending on if you add any extras like avocado. I used to be a huge fan of the nachos but it just became liquified cheese diced tomatoes with an avocado on top. No longer a fan. read more
