We ordered pick up from this place. They have plenty of seatings indoors and I like the decorations - the ambiance feels cozy and home-y here. I was overwhelmed by their extensive menu but we ended up ordering the mole poblano as well as the combination fajitas. I was a bit disappointed by the fajitas since it didn't come with pico, sour cream, guacamole, etc. the common sides. It did come with rice and beans. Although I know that fajitas is not a traditional Mexican dish but more so Tex-Mex. The fajita itself also tasted stir-fried and not crispy or charcoal grilled. It felt like a healthier version since it also wasn't overly greasy and was lightly seasoned. They also load the dish with vegetables which I like. The mole poblano was delicious. I have an obsession with any type of mole so if I see it on the menu I will likely want to try it. The dish also came with rice and beans as well. Both dishes had generous portion sizes and we had left overs for lunch for two the next day. I highly recommend giving this place a try! Generous portion sizes and affordable tasty dish. read more

I Love Guacamole - Enchiladas Rojas - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Festive with the holiday decorations. We got a table towards the front of the restaurant, at least not by the door but and it was still cold. The place got full that day. Noted price increase $0.50- $4 on the menu since last year's visit. Got my chilaquiles with green sauce (soft and spicy) and a steak tostada (crispy). Still very good. Tasted their Champurrado, - similar taste to mex hot chocolate but thicker texture bec of corn flour. It was very hot so let it cool down a bit first. The large tamarind drink was enough for 2 people. Will try other dishes when we return. read more

the menu descriptions are deceptive. items that say rice and beans on the side are not delivered that way. The food is bland... no seasoning, not even salt on the chips. I paid $40 for dinner and all I ate was the gauc. Never again. read more

- more like 4.5 - very friendly service - filling meals - empty at lunch time - great steak - tasty tacos - good mole enchilada - good Mexican coke - good batidas read more

A friendly, cozy and relaxed restaurant on fifth avenue with delicious food and reasonable prices. And the decor will make you feel like you are having dinner south of the border! We split a regular nachos and three enchiladas verde. The nachos were delicious (especially the guacamole!). The enchiladas would have benefited from a bit more chicken though the flavor was spot on! Definitely a great choice for Mexican food! read more

My go to Mexican restaurant when I visit my daughter family in So Park Slope. Excellent margaritas delicious tacos and carne asadas. I also love the menudo or tripe soup. Authentic ambience as well.. read more

Fantastic taco party catering! On time and so well packaged. And of course.... great guacamole (& salsas).

The prices were reasonable, the food was delicious and it tasted authentic; like something you'd get at your friend's house.

I've since been back for several weeks, and each time has been great. I've tried several more of the main plates, and they've yet to disappoint me. I will typically add a tostada or tamale as a side, and those are great as well. Overall, this is easily my favorite Mexican restaurant and Brooklyn, and has worked its way into my weekly routine. I've also discovered that there are more people during the day, though there is never a wait to get a seat. If nothing else, it's a relief to know that other people recognize how good this restaurant is. It truly is a hidden gem that any passerby would assume is bad (mainly because of the name, which seems very much like a place that does bad Mexican food), but is actually great. read more

The real deal! Delicious food and friendly service in a down-to-earth, comfortable neighborhood place. Tables are nicely spaced so you're not packed in. The guacamole is a must, it is fresh and flavorful and served with homemade tortilla chips. We especially liked the enchiladas Rojas for the red sauce with a great kick. Black beans and yellow rice served with entrees are elevated with excellent seasoning. The menu is extensive and the prices are reasonable to boot. We Love I Love Guacamole! read more

I would give this place a 4.5 . The prices were very reasonable. The decor in the restaurant made you feel like you are in Mexico with the colorfulness. We ordered the guacamole to share and it was huge. The only thing was that it was made with lemon and we personally prefer lime. We also got the carne asada burrito and they used seasoned rice which made it pretty tasty , carne asada was crispy and good size. We also got 4 tacos- chicken, lengua (very good), cactus (not a fan), and Al pastor. Would come again when we are in the neighborhood as it seems like a neighborhood favorite . read more

This was still back in Brooklyn. My in-laws were in town for Mother's Day. My MIL wanted to go to Greenwood Cemetery to see some famous graves. When we were trying to decide what to eat, we couldn't. My BIL is a picky eater and won't walk into any restaurant with under an "A" rating, and he spread that to my husband. We walked by this place and it had an "A" rating so we went inside. It was pretty empty because it was almost 1 o'clock. I honestly was not too in the mood for Mexican, but everyone else wanted it so I stuck with classic waffles with strawberries & bananas, nothing special. My MIL got a sandwich (I don't remember which one, I think it was the Cuban), but she said it was one of the best sandwiches she ever had. They really packed it with meat and the other condiments. My BIL got a torte or something, I can't remember exactly. My husband got tacos (taking a page from my book), and he said they were really good. My FIL got a burrito, which he also devoured. It was also hot outside, and we'd been walking around a cemetery for a few hours, so we were very hungry and thirsty. If you're in the area, I do recommend it. It's pretty good and it's not expensive. And they are good for large groups. read more

The longish menu veers into intriguing options ranging from pork chops to seafood but I wanted to try a couple of classics. Chilaquiles verdes was outstanding, with an abundant zingy sauce. I also enjoyed the juicy carnitas taco. Service was excellent. read more

The food was so good and reasonably priced. The shrimp quesadilla was delicious as was the nachos. Will definitely be back.

Delicious, authentic Mexican food for a reasonable price! I had the chicken mole and it was very delicious, a huge portion, and only $15! Would definitely come back! read more

The name of this restaurant is I Love Guacamole, which definitely describes me so I knew I had to come and check it out. Really happy I did-- they serve delicious, authentic Mexican food. Everything was beautifully prepared and portions are generous. Guacamole was so creamy and fresh. Also really enjoyed my chicken enchiladas verde; they definitely aced the salsa verde sauce, which not every restaurant does. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and like Mexican food! read more

Bad salsa and bad guacamole. Salsa tastes like tomato paste. Guacamole is missing spice. Tostadas and tacos are decent. My last experience was bad, was my second time at the restaurant. I hate leaving bad reviews but read more

Always an amazing experience! This is my partner and I's go to hidden gem in our neighborhood. I'm from Sonora Mexico and am really picky about where I eat Mexican food in NYC. This place tastes the closest to home! Their horchata is amazing, and I've loved their shrimp camarones and campechana too. But you can't go wrong with the tacos! read more

I really like the food here and I find the customer service really good and the prices are good.

Very good food! Fresh ingredients , nice staff, calm vibe. Authentic Hispanic decorations and music. I will say i wish they used a different cheese from American on the nachos. I should've asked what they use and seen if they had queso de Oaxaca instead or something else. Flavors were really great, love the salad w shrimp it was so light and fresh!! I've seen coworkers order salmon steaks and they swear by this place :) read more

Delicious, fresh, authentic family run Mexican restaurant. Went here today with my family and we were pleasantly surprised, because most restaurants today are seemingly underwhelming. The staff and their service were excellent. We are happy to find a good restaurant we can enjoy and support. read more

Yes, I do love a good Guacamole. And this place lives up to its name: they make a GREAT guacamole. Located in the South Slope area of Brooklyn, this Mexican place is worth checking out if only for their guacamole alone. Outside, it is small looking and hidden away, but the name of the establishment does catch your eye. We stopped here for brunch. We ordered guacamole to start with our coffee. It is flavorful, and the shade of bright green even adds to the visual allure of the dish. We ordered Huevos con Chorizo, eggs scrambled, for our main dish. The meal is good, though I am a little disappointed with the use of sliced cheese on the eggs, especially since it melts flat on top of the food. I would have preferred a cheese they adds more to the flavor of the eggs. The sides of rice and beans were delicious. All in all, this place warrants a return visit, perhaps next time for lunch or dinner. read more

Yeah, this place rules. Friendly staff, delicious Al pastor torta and a little carne asada taco to boot.

This place is delicious! Cute outdoor seating. Only place I know in the neighborhood for a comfortable sit-down Mexican breakfast. Chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, and tamales are all great. As is the agua de horchata! Great prices, friendly staff, etc... Maybe I was turned off by the name initially but this is legit Mexican food. read more

Delicioso!! This quaint, quintessential Brooklyn pop-up had great portions and great people! The waiters were super attentive and the food hit the spot!
