Came here for a dinner with a friend. The vibe of the place was very cozy with low lighting. We started with the guacamole and chips and I got the octopus and chorizo tacos because I've never seen something like that in other Mexican restaurants. The guacamole portion was pretty big and worth it. The taco filling had great flavor and the octopus was tender. The potato in it also added some heartiness to the tacos. Overall a cute Mexican place in Williamsburg for dinner! read more

Made a reservation this past weekend for a party of 8 for a birthday, half of us were running late but they were so accommodating and patient with us. Brunch got busy, a reservation is recommended. We got a mix of most items on the menu, everything was delicious! Juan and the rest of the staff were great and made it a memorable birthday. Thank you so much for taking care of us! read more

The service and food was phenomenal. I came here with a loved one and we sat down and enjoyed some brunch. Outside it did say "Happy Hour All Sunday" However, there is nothing on the menu that showed such. It's okay, we didn't come for drinks I came to eat and it was awesome. Everything was well seasoned. Not too spicy and fresh. The guacamole on my plate was the best I've ever had, I wish I would've gotten a side of that with chips. The chilaquiles were on point and even the chicken was super flavorful. Our server was amazing and refilled our water and asked if we needed anything else. The ambiance was chilled and relaxed. I loved it. I'll definitely be back. read more

Overall rating: 4.5 Price: $21 w/ tax & tip I used to come here all the time when I lived in the area. Still standing strong. Loved their brunches, but went in for a quick taco. I got the Al Pastor tacos which were alright. Nothing too special. Probably good have gotten better, cheaper tacos nearby.. I was starving so it still filled me. But I've had better. That said the service was soo nice. Left me alone but still asked if I needed anything. Super quick. I was in and out for 30 minutes. read more

I had an 8:30 patio reservation (granted it was cinco de mayo) and I did not get seated until 9 despite arriving on time for my reservation. The host gave us a free round of margaritas for the wait. I got the carnitas tacos and the meat was quite dry. The check took over 20 minutes to come from when we asked the waiter for it. The restaurant seemed understaffed, and I saw the waiters sitting eating dinner at 10:30 while we were still waiting for someone to get our check. Ambiance was good, service was poor, food was fine. read more

Really really good authentic food and great service! Not many places in NY are this good, do yourself a favor and have their esquites !

Oooooh boy, is this place great! This restaurant features some of the best Mexican food in Brooklyn. Everything is super savory. My go-to is the enchiladas verde. Solid Guac and chips as well! This past trip I also tried the tortilla soup which was very tasty and smokey. The staff always super kind and helpful. The restaurant itself is cozy even when it's busy. read more

First trip to Brooklyn NYC and we wanted to try something local and truly NY. So Mexican food it is! Service was impeccable. The charming young host welcomed us like it was his own home. The brisket tacos are tasty. The chicken quesadillas were juicy and delicious. The mushroom tacos were unbelievably good...had that umami in spades. Cosy little place in a lively and diverse neighbourhood. Muchos gracias read more

I had a great experience here! I liked the nice atmosphere, which was lively without being too loud. We started with the guacamole, which was great. It came with a unique salsa and homemade corn chips. I ordered the Chile Relleno Vegetariano for my main, which is a vegetarian stuffed pepper. It looked small at first, but ended up being the perfect portion in combination with the chips & guacamole. It was delicious! The ingredients melded so well together and I especially liked that the pumpkin seeds provided a good crunch to the dish. One of my friends really liked her tacos, but my friend who ordered the chicken enchiladas verdes said that while the flavor was good, the dish was a bit dry. It seems that based on our experience and the Yelp reviews, some dishes are a hit and some are a miss. Luckily, my dishes were a hit and overall I think is a good local spot! read more

We decided that is our last time here. We have been coming for a year and were loving it initially but the food is getting worse each time we are here. Today was the bottom. The fish tacos we got were the worst we got here. And one of them had a very bad smell. We told the waiter just to inform and all we got was 'ah sorry'. Like it was expected after paying $14 for a spoon size of guac and $18 for 3 sad looking tacos. The drinks are missing tequila as well. Very sad to give up on our fav Williamsburg mexican place but we gave them 3 shots. Thinking maybe 'they were having a bad day' or 'maybe it was us' but It only got worse each time. Today we are sure it's them. Ambiance is getting better for sure though. They have this high table now. read more

This is a nice place to go for dinner in East WB, and I'm glad to be trying out new places beyond Win Son. Loves: + Good food. Love me some mole enchiladas ($22) + Love their margs as they have many flavors and extra spicy levels ($14) + Cute ambiance, esp the staircase with lights and plants + Friendly staff + Walk-ins were easy for Sunday dinner on the night we went Good food, good place, and good company. Thanks, Mesa Coyoacan! read more

I had high hopes for dinner here given the inclusion of a few dishes that are rare around these parts. Chiles en nogada and huitlacoche tacos? Sign me up anytime. We ended up sharing elotes and guac, and I had the aforementioned huitlacoche tacos. Sadly these were not the same well-marinated morsels bursting with flavor that I remembered from my last time having them at Calaca. Not bad at all, but at the same time not especially memorable. read more

What can I complain about this restaurant? My personally favorite thing to eat here looks like none of them. My husband loves here because they have steak and eggs for breakfast. I'm in other hand. I already tried grilled fish, ceviche shrimp or other dishes. None is my cup of tea, honestly. Today I order Nopal Asado; it is grilled cactus top with Oaxacan cheese and rajas con crema. I kind of like it. I know now what should I order when I come to this Maxican place. Limitation of food I like but I can make it works. read more

Revising this rating, as my pickup order had my agua frescas leak in my bag. Also the side of steak was a bit pricey (over $15) for a very small amount you receive... 3 stars is accurate. For the price there are likely better options in BK. That's not to say the food is bad at all, it's good (not amazing), but price to quality ratio doesn't align IMO. read more

This place is absolutely incredible! The experience from start to finish was amazinggggg. We went for my friend's birthday and they sat us immediately when we got there. The space is so stunning how they have it setup. The decor is funky and the vibes are just so good. The music had us dancing all night long! We got drinks and they were affordable and so delicious. We then went into the appetizers where we got the esquites and guacamole. They were both so fresh and tasty. We then went into our mains and the portions were so good for the price. I got the chicken mole and it was so velvety. It paired perfectly with the sauces they give for the tacos so pro tip: make sure you ask for them on the sides! The rice and plantains were done fantastically as well! We ended with the churros and they were so tasty, definitely a must try. 10/10 read more

Ambience was a bit dark for my like but was def feeling the 90s music that they were playing. Was very disappointed w the esquites as it was soupy; I've had way better esquites. Chicken Tamale were bland; street tamales are better according to my friend. Fish tamales weren't bad. Chicken poblano didn't look appealing and the maduros were super dry. Fish tacos was mediocre and lacked flavor. Enchiladas Rojas was not spicy at all despite stating so in the menu. Keep in mind I'm an ethnic person. I must say the desserts were much for flavorful than the apps/entrees. Another thing that came to our attention was the food came out very quick and didn't taste fresh. Lastly, we felt very rushed. Thankfully, our waiter was excellent! This is a spot to come and chill but not for food, sadly. read more

One star only solely for b***s*** attitude of the staff here. We were a group of 7 people who went there for dinner and literally gave them business of $650 plus with 25 pct mandatory service fees. This forced tipping is called entitlement when you demand it for serving loads of attitude on a plate. In the beginning the service was decent but as the night progressed and our orders increased, the attitude of our server became negative and rude. You might wonder post pandemic the restaurants would become more welcoming and like bigger orders, but sadly there is no cure for bad behavior. At the end of our night, we wanted to order few more glasses of wine, to our shock we were told we can't order more than two as the kitchen was almost closing. We heard the other server saying- tell them we can only serve two. Some strategic decision I'm sure Seriously with 50 mins to go for closing, what's the logic with then offering us two glasses of wine in place of four.... Genius!!! The two shittiest glasses were served with the stalest wine possible. We left it without finishing it with bad taste in our mouth even worse impression in our head. Mesa Coayacan, you were just one time wonder, you really disappointed me this time. read more

Came on a Sunday afternoon and there were plenty of seats. I was catching up with a friend for three hours so it was nice of them to let us stay. Food and drinks were good. Watermelon Margarita seemed like it was made with real juice and it was refreshing. I got the brunch plate with carne asada. I love the plants around the restaurant. They have outdoor seating. There is a small credit card fee. read more

I love this place! Cozy space. Drinks are fantastic. Not just sugar and juice with a little tequila-real drinks. The menu is fabulous. Everything is always fresh and delicious. I go every time that I'm in Brooklyn, every 3 months or so. It's become a thing for my family and friends to do. Also, they have a waiter that everyone loves. I've been calling him Arthur, I hope I've been right. Handsome guy, and so nice and on top of things. Will be back there this summer! read more

Went here with my friend on a Tuesday night. The service was very nice and friendly and we were seated promptly without a reservation. I ordered the tacos Dorado and my friend ordered the sopa azteca(chicken tortilla soup). We also ordered guacamole to start. The guacamole in our opinion was creamy but missing some seasoning and a little spice. Maybe this is the way this region of Mexico makes the guacamole? Also their chips are a bit harder than your normal tortilla chip. They also served us 3 types of salsa my favorite being the Verde and my friend loved the habanero. On to the mains, I enjoyed the tacos Dorado, the chicken was moist, the salsa it was in was flavorful and I was happy. My friend also loved his soup and would order it again. Overall we were satisfied with our main dishes. I would come back and try another dish next time. read more

Delicious Mexican food in Brooklyn. We started with the guacamole and it was tasty and flavorful. I really liked the mole enchiladas and my husband liked the carne asada.

Popped by for a quick late date during the week. No reservations and we got sat quickly. The food was very yummy. The tacos dorados were very juicy and savory and my boyfriends pollo con mole was superb and tender. I was in a more soupy mood so i went with the sopa azteca. It wasn't as spicy or thick as the other ones i've had, but still okay. Would probably get something else next time read more

Mesa Coyoacan - Sopa Azteca Pollo con Mole Poblano Tacos Dorados - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Where do I begin! The food was DELICIOUS, the guacamole was flavorful and done just right (perfect amount of salt, acidity, onions). I got the Pulpo y chorizo tacos and I wishhhhh I had more. I heard no complaints around the table other than we were still hungry and wanted more. The place works well for groups, I saw another group (other than ours) and the place seated everyone and functioned well. Staff was friendly. Another pro was that the bathroom was clean and well decorated. Only thing I'd say is that the margaritas don't really taste like anything but tequila. The mango and watermelon margaritas tasted the same and the only way to tell them apart was by its colored appearance. Also, I'd probably skip out on dessert over here. They were no good. Got the flan and it was not real flan (consistency was thick and did not bounce like normal flan) and didn't taste that good. read more

For being a really nice restaurant, the staff have terrible customer service skills. Their attitudes just seemed pre-occupied, and unhappy. Not a single person gave off any sort of good energy/ upbeat vibe and the service itself was very slow. The guy who sat us turned out to be the manager and I was so shocked because when seating us he was not hospitable and definitely didn't give off the vibe of a manager. Very unprofessional. But whatever I came for the food and margaritas and not to make friends with the staff. For starters we ordered chips and guacamole, the cucumber margarita, and my friend had the hibiscus spicy margarita. The cucumber margarita.. meh just alright and the hibiscus spicy margarita was VERY spicy but pretty good. The guacamole though.... they should be embarrassed to be serving it the way they are. WHERES THE FLAVOR !! Literally just mashed up avocado with nothing much else in it. I asked our server if we could get jalapenos or something to give it some spice or flavor and she said they couldn't do that. Our server also seemed a little new because she didn't seem to know the menu very well when we had questions when ordering. We finished our first margarita before our food came out and were never asked again if we wanted another. Our food was brought out by someone else and not our server. We later hunted someone else down to get in another drink order. For the food my friend got the steak plate, it came with mole, beans and cactus. He said he loved it and honestly looked amazing. I got the de cochinita pibil tacos and WOW OMG they were delicious !!!! *CHEFS KISS* I also had the octopus ceviche and it was VERY good as well. If you like seafood then definitely get. If you're craving a yummy taco packed with flavor then get these same ones as well. All in all aside from the guacamole the food was delicious. Mesa Coyoacan has a great chef, and pretty ambiance but should really reconsider hiring better staff with better customer service skills to make the entire experience of this restaurant whole. read more

Bienvenidos a la mesa de chef Ivan Garcia! I knew fate meant for me to eat at this neighborhood gem when I saw the framed image of Frida Khalo and Diego Rivera above my dining companion's head. Santa Frida siempre cuida! Every aspect of the meal was on point punctuated by our server's 5 star level of attentiveness. He noticed the one corn tortilla left in our basket before we did, offered me another Reposado as I placed my glass down from taking a final sip of my first, and innocuously removed what wasn't needed from our table top as our conversation seamlessly continued. Must try dishes are the Hongos y Huitlacoche Tacos and the Ceviche de Pulpo; however, Chef Ivan's Pollo con Mole Poblano is EPIC! I would literally dip everything in this mole, including myself, if I knew how to make it at home. Between the licks of mole and glimpses of Frida, I fell into a Coyoacán-itis. My next visit can't come soon enough. read more

Wasuppppp Yelpers! YOU MUST GO HERE. My friends and I came across this place on a random Monday...and boy was I happy about it. So I'm a dessert first type of guy ( get that palate going) and we ordered the Tres Leches and Churros. Honestly the Tres Leches was just okay ( the fruit base is a turn off). Now to GRAND PRIZE...the freaky next level coconut Churros served with Cajeta and Abuelita Chocolate. My mind was literally blown how fresh and delicious these suckers were. The drinks were also amazing. Top self margaritas, with a variety of flavors and we made sure we tried them all lol. My personal favs were the cucumber and watermelon. For dinner I indulged in the Enchiladas Rojas and I almost ate the plate. I also managed to fork a couple of plates lol. The braised lamb dish and Ceviche were also great. So let's just say I'll be back because I plan on trying the whole menu. read more

This place was a lot of fun, and had delicious food that was just the right size. Whether you want to split some small plates with friends or dive in for a plate of your own tacos, seems you can't go wrong here.

Quite a good little spot, and very convenient to the L for the ride back to Manhattan. read more

Everything about this restaurant feels like a precious secret you just got invited into. Cozy, friendly atmosphere, excellent service, and the food -- it is a revelation. After seeing the movie about the owners, I Carry You With Me, my son and I decided we had to try the chef's signature dish, which is featured in the film. The dish is called chiles en nogada and it is delicate, complex, and satisfying. A real treat! You know you've discovered an exceptional restaurant when you find yourself thinking of the last meal you ate there months later. Mesa Coyoacan is just that kind of place. read more

Ok. First and foremost. The owner, not very nice, seemed distracted as we walked in. For a Monday the place was full. But she seemed annoyed to have to sit us. We proceed to order. We got margaritas, and modelos. No complaints the mezcal margarita was amazing! The chips and quac, was the best thing here. Now the food. We asked if the green sauce was spicy, the lady said, it's not spicy, no one ever complains. We proceed to order the chicken enchiladas, and shrimp enchiladas. The green sauce was SPICY. She lied. She then said oh well, there's nothing she can do. We were annoyed. She also came off stein when we asked her to refill our waters. Will I be back. Only for drinks. Because the food, was not what we were looking for. And the service was undesirable. read more

We were looking for a dinner place close to Brooklyn Steel before our show and found Mesa Cocyoacan. It's not a big restaurant, but they have some long tables and a bar area. We weren't able to be seated until our whole party was there, so we got drinks at the bar to begin with. Their watermelon margaritas are refreshing and delicious! I would add the jalapeno for a little bit of a kick! We were all pleasantly surprised by our entrees, as all 3 of us are from california. - Sopecitos: first time trying these and I really enjoyed! small corn tortilla topped with beans, carne asada, and salsas. Super flavorful and one of my favorites that night! - al pastor tacos: I actually liked that they only give you one tortilla. I always end up taking the second one off. The meat wasn't too salty and the pineapple added great flavor. The meats were PLENTIFUL We didn't really like the shrimp ceviche we ordered... the shrimp was overcooked and it was bathed in a tomato sauce. The accompanied chips were BOMB though! I'd definitely come back again! But just know, these are SIT DOWN prices.. don't expect taco truck prices! read more

I really like this place. The ambiance is nice--if, maybe, a little dark & brooding for brunch--& the food is delicious. I had a vegetarian torta & did not miss the meat at all; the shredded Oaxacan cheese, combined with the refried beans, mimicked the mouth feel & savoriness of meat well. The guacamole & totopos were excellent, & the salsa boracha made with dark Mexican beer was a real unexpected delight. I'll definitely be back for chiles enogadas season. read more

Pretty dark spot. More of a romantic ambiance. I had a special margarita which I must say was delicious. I also ordered a Mexican sandwich which I really enjoyed. Filling and worth it. My boyfriend on the other hand wasn't that happy with his choice of dishes. He does t eat meat and ordered extra rice and beans with his order and didn't seem as if he got either EXTRA of. Hence to say he left there still hungry. Not sure if I would return cause I've had better Mexican food and would love to try other places. read more
