    Chelitas Battered Fish Tacos
    Nella B.

    Ordered for takeout tonight with my youngest. We got the fish tacos with the rice and beans salsa chips. So impressed by how they package everything for you to take home. Fish was like delicious to try more things from this place.

    This was our third time here and although the service was extremely slow, the food did not disappoint. All was well seasoned, piping hot and cooked to all of our liking. Tonight, we ordered queso fundido for us to share. It was supposed to had been our appetizer, but came out with all of our entrees. Tonight, I ordered the sopa de mariscos/seafood soup. My husband ordered chicken fajitas. Our son ordered the churrasco/grilled steak, and our daughter ordered the chicken enchiladas in salsa verde. This restaurant is one that we will certainly re-visit in the future. And, just hope that next time, the service is a bit faster next time around. Highly recommend to anyone wanting good Mexican food.

    Looks like a mom and pop run restaurant. Everything we ordered was delicious. Food was 10/10 and service was 9/10. Prices are pretty fair especially in this popular part of Brooklyn! Will be back!

    Flautas

    Ordered through GrubHub for delivery. The food arrived extremely fast, within 20 mins. Ordered the cochinita pibil (pork shoulder) tacos, the beer battered fish tacos, the al pastor tacos, a chicken tortilla soup and an order of flautas. The food was extremely good. The order came with free chips and salsa. It was a lot of food for 2 people. Tacos were loaded with meat, enough for a second taco. The pork shoulder tacos were my favorite. I feel like the fish tacos would be better if I was dining in as they were not crispy. The flautas and the chicken tortilla soup were pretty good too. Definitely ordering from them again. Recommended!

    Friday night causal dinner with my cousin. An unappealing neighborhood Mexican foods but you will be surprised once you get step inside It is like a little Mexico, staffs are very friendly and helpful. Needless to say, foods are really yummy. Grilled tilapia is perfectly cooked. My cousin's steak is perfecto. Only thing is a little slow service partly because they are busy with delivery and takeout. We will come back again for sure.

    Chicken quesadilla
    Cristina C.

    Placed an order for delivery after seeing the ratings on UberEats and the reviews on Yelp. They prepped the food fairly quickly and my food was delivered earlier than expected. For the appetizers we got the guac & chips, crispy calamari and empanadas. The guacamole was really good and fresh. The calamari was cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious! The empanadas was the best dish we got for the night. It was still piping hot when we got it and the melted cheese and chicken tasted really good together. We then got an order of the fish tacos and an order of the steak tacos to share and they were just alright. We definitely had better elsewhere. For the fish tacos, the fish was mostly covered in batter and barely tasted any fish. The steak tacos were good but the meat was a little dry and tough. Lastly, we got the chicken quesadilla and the steak quesadilla. They both tasted good but they were put on top of wet romaine lettuce and left the tortilla being really soggy. Try to opt out getting the lettuce if you can! Overall it wasn't bad. Would definitely order from here again and try the other items on the menu.

    So far so good. I picked up our order after ordering in advance on Yelp. The spot itself seems to be an authentic type of Mex spot, which is good. The people who were dining inside seemed to be also prevalently Mexicans, which was also a good sign. And the overall decor seemed to point to a direction of authencity, with various Mex type decor on the walls and even a guitar (a la Mariachi). So my order was corn on the cob (insert that cute kid that says 'I love cown') and fish tacos. My husband's order was steak fajitas. We both agreed that the food was pretty good and we would get stuff from them again in the near future. P.s. We also got two orders of empanadas but we didn't try them yet. Hopefully, they're just as good as the rest of the grub.

    Shame on me for passing by Las Chelitas without stopping in. I drive by Las Chelitas every week, but today I finally decided to try them out. I placed my order via Yelp about 20 minutes prior and my order was ready and waiting for me when I came in, so 25 minutes earlier than predicted. Love how fast the service was. When I got home and opened up my order, I was impressed with the presentation. You can tell the food was packaged with care. We got the Steak Burrito, Steak Tostadas, Fire-Grilled Corn on the Cob, Chips and Guac, and a Mango Jarritos. Let me tell you - the steak was seasoned to perfection and tender. Out of this world! The best Steak Burrito I have had. I cannot believe I overlooked this place all of this time! If you're interested in outdoor dining, they have some tables outside. Looks like it would be a nice, cozy spot to grab lunch. The decor inside was bright and fun, and I can't wait to dine here in the future! 5 stars for Las Chelitas!

    Tostadas
    Erika G.

    Was really craving some tostadas & stumbled upon this place. Food was done quickly and it tasted great, however, we got jipped (see pics). I placed 2 orders and they both came like this. They were slick and conveniently placed one on top of the other. Basically, only 1 had full toppings and the other had not even 1/4 of the tostada covered in toppings. Really disappointing since it tasted good, however, I basically paid full price for something that did not come whole. My suggestion: don't take it to go. I think they'll have a harder time getting away with this when it's served on a plate.

    Vegetarian Fajita Al Pastor Quesadilla
    Veronika D.

    Literally amazing food and so worth the price especially when dining in. I have gotten takeout before and went In person and I'm surprised this place isn't packed. The service is outstanding and the girl who was our waitress was so nice and caring! The atmosphere is great and very relaxing. This is a hidden gem!

    Battered Fish Tacos ($6) & Al Pastor Tacos ($6) - 2 each
    Sandy D.

    Being possibly the most reviewed Brooklyn Mexican spot on Seamless, Las Chelitas tempted me to pick them for lunch. Not to damper on everyone's highly rated reviews, but it sadly fell through in expectations. I ordered the Al Pastor Tacos, Battered Fish Tacos, and Mango Jarritos. The food came neatly packaged, and they even offered complimentary chips and salsa! The tacos were in quantity of two's and were stored together. Let's start off with the Battered Fish Tacos ($6). Even though the fish may look ginormous, dry, and intimidating on the outside, it was warm, soft, and very moist on the inside! However, it was fine that the cabbage slaw on top was slightly sour, but the green sauce as well? You don't even need to add lime because of how sour the green sauce was. Although the fish taco lacked some flavor, that sauce was definitely not the complement to it. They made no mistake in incorporating pineapples into the Al Pastor Tacos ($6). I had this creation before, and love it. The pineapple pieces were refreshingly juicy and the pork pieces, flavorful! And boy, do they give a heaping amount! You definitely will need a fork at the end to gather the ones that got away. Both tacos were unfortunately on the dry side, especially due to the tortillas. They also squeezed way too many limes in that green sauce for me to want to use it! I unfortunately wouldn't come back, but it was still a solid lunch.

    Tilapia
    Frances L.

    My son and visited based on others Yelp reviews and they were not wrong! The restaurant was not crowded at all on a Saturday evening. I did notice they were busy with lots of takeout orders. So I would not blame the one waitress responsible for waiting tables and taking card of takeout orders for a small delay in service. When she did come around she was extremely courteous. We ordered: Chicken empanadas 5 stars Hanger steak 4.5 stars ( we asked for medium but it arrived medium well) TIilapia 5 stars Flan 5 stars (my son loved it!) Pineapple soda 5 stars (it's store bought soda but I'm giving the restaurant 5 stars for not overcharging it at the restaurant. It was only $2). Our total bill was only $65 (including a 20% tips) I'd highly recommend this restaurant! There were plenty of metered parking and free parking nearby.

    I am so glad that I came across this Mexican place in NY! Their foods are very large in portion for the price, which I loved and ingredients were very fresh and flavorful. I give 4/5 for taste, 5/5 for price, 5/5 for quantity of food. Because I enjoyed the food and cannot find anything negative, I think this place deserves some attention. Giving my 5/5 star here :)

    Empanadas!  Came with 3, but I couldn't contain myself!

    No frills taco spot in Greenpoint that is very popular! Expect a line. The tacos are super fresh…read moreand the star of the show is definitely the meat. My favorite was easily the pastor as it was so well balanced. The tacos are self dressed, so you can decide what toppings to put on it. Something to note: the tacos are definitely on the smaller side compared to other places like Los tacos no. 1, so get an extra to account for that.

    Taqueria Ramirez is a popular, authentic Mexico City-style taqueria in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, known…read morefor its tacos like al pastor, suadero, and tripa, often finished with a blowtorch for a crispy texture. Owned by Giovanni Cervantes and Tania Apolinar, the spot stands out for its real flavors, busy small vibe, and unique options like nopales and a rich dipping sauce. The owners opened it in 2021 to fill a gap in NYC's taco scene. I was in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, to pick up an order from the popular fish spot Piscator. I wanted to check out the food scene there and did some research, which led me to Taqueria Ramirez because it's so popular. When we got there, there was a line, but it moved pretty fast. The place has an open kitchen where you can see all the food being made. They offer toppings, but you add them yourself from a table of condiments. I got two Pastor Tacos, a Suadero, Longaniza, and the famous Tripa taco, which is pig intestines. The Pastor tacos had big chunks of meat that were super tasty and flavorful. The Suadero tasted similar to the Pastor, but it was still packed with flavor. I wasn't really a fan of the Longaniza; the flavors didn't do much for me. If you like bold tastes, you might like it. I also didn't love the Tripa -- the texture was off, and it was too soft. They blowtorch the Tripa to make it crispy, but I didn't really get the crunch I expected. Overall, this place makes some really good tacos, and I'd definitely go back to try their Gringa Al Pastor Tacos, which are only available on Tuesdays.
