Mexico 2000 was an experience on so many levels. The restaurant is a pretty spacious resturant and in this time of Covid, all steps are being taken to make the customers feel safe; I did. Now back to the experience. Mexico 2000 gets an A+ for their food. I'd give an A+ for the drinks anf another A+ for the authentic Mexican astetic of art and other traditional touches throughout the resturant. Unfortunately, I only have a C+ for the service. Sadly, my bestie and I waited, not to be seated but for our dining experience to get underway. I arrived first and had to ask the waiter three times for lemon to add to my water. Additionally, when my friend did arrive, we seemed to be waiting an unusually long time to get our food. Perhaps it was because the food was made to order? I'm not sure but it was a bit much. Yikes! Luckily the food was fantastic and the portions were more than enough. Don't get me wrong, the waiter we had was friendly and all but he seemed to be distracted and as a result, he was unable to get an A+ from me. I'm not a snop but having to ask three times for something is not the best customer service. The truth of the matter is, I plan to return for all the reasons I have given an A+. I would encourage you to do the same because the food is oh so good and hopefully, the waiter (if you get the one I had) will be on his "A" Game! read more

Yeh, love this place. Located in the back of a bodega with enough seating for 8 people, this is my favorite plate of chilaquiles and my favorite bowl of posole in NYC . They use to have amazing Barbacoa on weekends but I think they changed Vendors and I like it less. Mom and pop owned, they are so sweet. We have been coming here for over 10 years and it's my hidden gem that I don't share with too many people. Make sure to buy some Mexican Candy and some dried Chiles on the way out read more

I really don't want to tell other people about this place because it is currently a hole in the wall and have amazing food for cheap. To be blunt, I want it for myself but of course I have to write a review of how amazing this place is. The food is so delicious and have a good amount of portion. If this place was close to my house I would be here all the time. If you see this place from the outside, it pretty much looks like a Mexican grocery store, but don't be fooled because when you walk inside your greeted by the wonderful aroma of food. There are four tables that can sit about eight people, like I said hole in the wall but I don't care. I love eating out for the food, not the ambiance. Guacamole is on point. The chicken enchilada, I got the mole poblano is so good! The burrito is humongous and again so so good! The flavor is just right, not too salty and seasoned just right. The beans doesn't taste refrigerated or canned and the rice isn't soggy, bland, or too hard. Like I said perfection, but keep in mind don't expect too much from the ambiance. read more

Best Mexican food I've had in nyc!!! Originally from San Diego so I'm always craving Mexican food but I'm too disgusted/skeptical with just the look of most Mexican food around here, after reading the reviews and seeing the pictures I decided to give this place a try - WOW! This is the REAL DEAL! Awwww I feel so at home here. Today was my first trip of many, couldn't wait to come home to give it praises! Had the enchiladas suizas, they were perfection! Comes with three chicken enchiladas (in green sauce with some melted cheese on top), excellent side of rice and beans - very traditional - and a bit of salsa fresca and guacamole. Everything was exactly as I am used to from San Diego and friends' parents/grandparents homemade cooking. There are four small tables total paired off creating two large tables of four seats together. Prices were extremely reasonable and very friendly service. I need to brush up on my Spanish before i go back, like other reviews very little english spoken. :) The grocery portion offers selections of Mexican candies, pan, cheeses, juices, sodas, abuelita, etc Don't let the hole in the wall places fool you that's where you'll usually find the best Mexican food. read more

This place is great. I'd doubly recommend it if you want to catch a little of the world cup in an authentic atmosphere. There are just a few tables in the back so there isn't too much room. The food is fantastic. It's not at all like most of the fancy "mexican food" that you'll find around NYC. It's much more like the mexican food that you'll find in the southwest. It's a shame that they aren't open later. It would be perfect food for after the bar. read more

Mexico 2000 Grocery - no sauce - Convenience Stores Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I still havent tasted mexican food better than this place yet ‍. And trust me im by A LOT of them. Ive tried Instagram worthy mexican spots that came no where close this place in flavor. read more

Another Mexican food gem. I definitely prefer the hole in the wall grocery store to their newer restaurant, something about it just feels more genuine, tho I'm happy they're doing well, because they should be. What do I get from here? Poblano mole paste, which I then prepare at home with chicken and rice (always a jaw dropper with friends). I buy epazote from here, a typical herb used for many Mexican dishes, and it's usually hard to find at other super markets. I also love this champurrado, it's norteño/Mexico city style with milk, and soooo delicious. And the food, anything you get, will be real good! Highly recommend this place!! read more

To the homesick ex-Mexicans, missing that one-of-a-kind tomatillo tang: your time has come. To the wistful ex-Californians, yearning for tortillas that don't taste like cardboard: your time has come. To the deprived ex-Arizonans, longing for that crumbly white cheese you left behind: your time has come. To the world-weary ex-Texans, patiently explaining that "Tex-Mex" is different than "Mexican food in Texas": your time has come. To the beleaguered ex-New Mexicans, slowly suffering through lettuce-stuffed "burritos": your time has come. Mexico 2000 Grocery deserves the crap out of every one of these five stars. The fantastic food reminds me of the stuff I lived on as a kid in Phoenix, the Spanish-only staff is friendly and welcoming, and the prices are rock-bottom low. Yelpers of the Southwest, rejoice. OUR TIME HAS COME! WE RIDE AT DAWN!!!! read more

Mexico 2000 Grocery - Green enchiladas with chicken - Convenience Stores Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is definitely my to go stop when I'm cooking and realize I'm out of a basic ingredient half way through my masterpiece. I love how it's family owned, and opened relatively late (I've made midnight stops). I've been a customer for over 15 years, took a 4 year college break in between, and during my first visit back the family was welcoming, kind, and attentive. They serve food here too, generally for pickup, but you could call for delivery as well. Also, they offer chicken/meat seasoned with Mexican spices and sauces which are ready for you to cook from home. read more

I ordered the guacamole and chips, and three tacos- steak, tinga, barbacoa. Nothing was particularly flavorful. Meat wasn't seasoned. Salsas were bland, the salsa you get with the chips tasted like tomato sauce. Maybe their large plates are better, but my order was disappointing. read more

I was expecting good California style Mexican food and instead it was one of those spots that is authentic Brooklyn bodega Mexican. I ordered a chorizo burrito to stay and when I took a bite I realized that it was filled with only chorizo and sliced cooked carrots --- no rice, no beans and I had to eat it with a fork and knife because the sour cream was on the outside. If you are going to stuff a burrito full of cooked carrots it should at least be mentioned on the menu and then you should change that menu and stop putting cooked carrots in your burritos. read more

Mexico 2000 is, without a doubt, the best Mexican food in NYC. And the people who run it are the kindest people I've ever encountered. So often I meet people who have moved from the west coast, and while they love the city, they bemoan the lack of decent Mexican food. I always point them to Mexico 2000. The food is rich, authentic, and always cooked with the freshest ingredients. It's straight Mexican, no fancy hybrid. They make their own tamales on the weekends, and everything is amazing. I lived on South 5th for 4 years, and ate everything there was to offer in Williamsburg. And that was the Williamsburg food prime, between 2004 and 2011. Today, I returned to Brooklyn for the first time in a few months, and Mexico 2000 was the place I went--its that good. Turns out, they're expanding! I talked with Sergio and he told us the food and the prices would not be changing, but they'll have lots of seating, top-quality margaritas, and an excellent brunch. I'm super excited. read more

Yeap! They did it again. I needed something mellow on the tummy after lingering Indian food from friday. I asked which soups they had, although the Goat sounded incredible, I opted for the Posole that brings a 'caldo Blanco'. My partner ordered Huevos con Chorizo which comes with perfectly cooked Spanish Rice and stewed beans (with chunks of whole garlic and onion freshly cooked this morning), she wished she had ordered refried. We split some Guacamole that we ate with the hot white corn tortillas that was perfectly creamy and delicious. Immediately after ordering the posole, they brought two plain enchiladas (red bean with iceberg lettuce, queso crema y cotija. "Y esos?!", I asked not having ordered them. She simply replied, "vienen con el Posole." I crunched into one and drifted to the simple black bean tostadas I had originally been introduced to with shredded cabbage, egg and cotija - 18 years ago at a small rural market in the hinterlands of the Oaxacan mountains. While these paled in comparison, they were in front of me and all that queso crema and cotija with refried reds couldn't be All that Bad. 2 minutes later, the Posole came out in a massive, deep bowl with fresh herbs floating in the clear broth. The Homine was huge, the size of quarters, large puffed white corn relative. Soooo good. A couple pork chunks brought little morsels of fat, which I may have eaten had I not had the 2 tostadas with all the queso and crema.. Wow. So stuffed. As usual I was fascinated by the nopales, epazote, various chilis, tomatillos, cebollin, radishes and countless other ingredients along the side of the store, but so utterly stuffed that I couldn't even begin to contemplate some grocery shopping. read more

I want to bang all the ladies who work at Mexico 2000 for doing outstanding work replicating Mexican food in Williamsburg. For the irony. Tacos Doradas. Enchiladas Suizas. Chimichanga. And don't you dare leave without tasting the Poblano Mole, you chocolate-is-for-dessert-time pussy you. read more

To girls were sitting at the table by the tv enjoying a mind blowing amazing looking dish, a practically cornucopic pile of mexican treats. I was so jealous I approached the counter guy expecting him to have to repeat some strange and melodic word... "pssst, hey buddy, what are those two girls eating" "oh, the Taco Salad?" I felt like a fool, but fools gold was my reward. Fresh tortilla formed into a bowl, deep fried and filled with colorful separated ingredients. A true mexican dish from the year 2000! read more

I live a couple blocks away from this place. I consider myself extremely lucky because of this. The food here is delicious and inexpensive. The only small downside is when it gets crowded and you can't find a place to sit. Otherwise, when it comes to Mexican food, this place is my go to spot! read more

This is literally my go to spot! If you want good food and drinks, you will not be disappointed. The food is delicious and it's authentic! The service is great, the waiters are super nice and friendly. And the drinks AMAZING! read more

My go-to, makes me feel like home. Guys honestly best Tinga de pollo in NY they also sell Mexican candies, herbs and chips, a must go if you're looking for real Mexican food. Everyone is very friendly as well read more

The food is great. The servings are really big and the price is low. Got a winner just with that. I don't speak a word of Spanish except Cerveza, but pointing to the menu gives me what I want. All the people who work there are really nice. Lunch meals are $6 I think. Really good value. Otherwise $7-8 for a meal, i.e. big chicken burrito with rice and beans. read more

Considering the rapturous reviews, central location and great weather, I was surprised to be the only person at Mexico 2000 for an over an hour as I ate lunch and did some speed reading ahead of a book club meeting. Without people and with some slightly too loud ranchera playing, the atmosphere was a little lacking. This is also a place where the table comes with empty Stella goblets, guacamole bowls and menus when you arrive. It's overly fussy and no one removed this when I sat down. When the food started arriving, my two plates were crowded out by all of these present as part of a bizarre up-selling strategy. Although this is a Mexican restaurant underneath a subway line that is attached a bodega. No one comes here for the atmosphere. It's for the food. Chips and salsa at the beginning of the meal disappoint with cold chips and even colder salsa. There's no kick at all to the sauce and chips are definitely not made on site. Things perk up from there, with a massive $5 quesadilla al pastor. The crema is spread throughout the shell and there's plenty of cheese, pork and pineapple. I also ordered a chorizo taco, which was completely unnecessary. I only made it through a couple of bites, but this wasn't because of the quality of the food. I was charged $2.50 as opposed to the menu price of $2 for each of my two Diet Cokes. I thought about not mentioning this because of the small amount, but I'm glad I did. The error was immediately corrected (and the difference added on to the tip) with a smile. It was a nice detail, just like when I left, the manager thanked me for stopping in. I hope they fix the chip situation, because I'm definitely planning on come back to Mexico 2000. read more

3.5 stars I certainly share the opinion of few people here that does not understand what the whole excitement is about. Very typical americanized mexican food served by friendly staff. Nothing special, but I had worse. They also have a selection of pastries, every single one I've tried appeared to be some sort of sweet bread. read more

NO. if you have ever been to Los Hernandes tortilla factory in Bushwick this is NOT even close to a fair comparison. I ate here twice. first time i had the cheese quesadilla which was just a greeeasy tortilla with blobs of cheese, shredded iceberg lettuce and shredded cheese on top of it. at Los Hernandes vegetarians get tomatoes and delicious avocados--an actual MEAL. after reading the positive Yelp reviews i went back today to give it a second chance and i had the huevos rancheros and i must say that i've had better and cheaper huevos rancheros IN MANHATTAN. {Cabana Cafe on Thompson--go there!} NO LOVE FROM THE VEGETARIANS. I will take the train back to Bushwick for the real deal. read more

A hidden gem, this place is delicious! It's in the back of a super small grocery store with just a couple of tables, but don't let the atmosphere stop you from coming. The owners are really cute and nice, and the food was just superb. Definitely worth the trip down from Manhattan (and really easy to get to), I'll definitely be back! read more

Ok, finally hit this place up. I've been searching for a new place since Matamoros disappeared. (I loved that that place!!!) They're very similar in set up...bodega w/ taco stand in the back. I ordered Lunch Special 3: Tostada, Soft Taco, Rice and Beans. The beans are a bit soupy and really good. Rice is that moist crumbly type which is the best. Taco was 2 corn tortillas, that white Mexican cheese, lettuce, etc. Red and green hot sauce on table. Overall, food was great, though I prefered the sopes at Matamoros. :( Couple other notes: - everyone there was very nice, even the clientele - easy access from the JMZ if you're coming from Manhattan. Just get off at Marcy or Keap read more

Such amazing people and food here. I go mainly for limes, tortillas and avocados. They do a decent cafe con leche and are now opening a restaurant next door. read more

This is literally a hole in the wall. Actually, it's a bodega with a table. If you wish you had Mexican grandmothers to make you yummy food this is where you can come and pretend you do...and you'll probably pay less than $10. read more

Just had the Gringo Veggie Verde... The quantity...awesome. The thing weight in at 2+ lbs. The veg in the burrito was small chopped up bits of carrot, broccoli and green pepper. Not so great. The rice and beans...pretty good. I think this place does better with meat dishes. read more

I travel the U.S as a consultant and have had my share of Mexican cuisine around the country. This restaurant has several items that are very delicious. Today I had the pork tamale and the carnitas taco. Delicious, fresh, and the perfect portion. The salsa is also fresh and satisfying. The staff is very welcoming. I recommend everyone to try this place. I did not give it 5 stars because i have not tried everything on the menu. I will definitely return to try the rest. read more

Awesome food and drinks! The staff treat you like family, they have an outdoor space in the back and it's kid friendly!!

Really nice people, nice food and cheap! Fast delivery. Best Mexican Food of Hipster-Land. read more

Hard to complain about a place that serves some of the best Mexican food in Williamsburg, delivers it free from 15+ blocks away, and costs less than $10 for a full meal (which is usually big enough for me to have dinner + leftovers for lunch). I get the enchiladas suizas meal every time, plus a taco or two and that's plenty for a dinner + leftovers. The chicken tacos are good, and they serve them either Mexican street style (cilantro + onion), "American style" (lettuce, cheese, sour cream) or any way you want (add whatever, they really don't care and don't charge you an unreasonable amount to customize). I've never had a bad meal from here, so it's very consistent. It's not much for razzle dazzle but it's good, simple Mexican food that's hard to find in New York. I'm from California so it's not necessarily comparable to the "best" Mexican food I've ever eaten, but it's damn good by NYC standards at half the price of most NYC spots. read more

Very good authentic Mexican food and friendly staff. Love the guacamole and margaritas! read more

I haven't eaten the food here yet, but I utilize the grocery any time I happen to be free and the M runs through my part of town. (which is actually a special treat unto itself.) Its a great place to pick up those cans of chipotles, dried peppers, sack of epazote, giant bag of tomatillos for that favorite recipe of yours. They actually special ordered me a tortilla press, something that was surprisingly hard for me to find in Brooklyn. Great stuff. The staff are super friendly and quite enthusiastic when you ask about some rare ingredient that you need. My housemates tend to sing the chorus "when are you going back to Mexico 2000?" when they want more salsa, tacos, etc. I guess it will be this weekend if the M decides to run it's rush-hour route on Presidents Day. read more

Respect this place. No english. Confusing culinary instructions. 2 tables hidden in the back. Questionable name (Mexico 2000 Grocery??). Delicious. Food. That's all that matters. Respect this place. read more

Don't see what the big fuss is over their food. Yes it's quick, yes it's cheap (though no cheaper than similar places in the surrounding neighborhood), but it's merits end there. The meat in the tacos wasn't particularly flavorful and was of a chewy consistency. This makes me question the freshness of the ingredients. The tacos are topped with sour cream and cheese -- American style. I prefer more vegetables and some avocado but that's just me. read more

Was just talking about this spot yesterday. People hype it up because its in the back of of a grocery store but the food is mediocre at best. So stop hyping it up to your friends especially those from California because your just making yourself look more like a joke when you are trying to convince them that there is good Mexican food in the city. I recommend Zolcano down the block. Its actually bomb. read more

I found the meat to be tough/greasy and the red salsa to be wimpy. Which is a shame because the guac, beans, pico, etc. were quite nice and I like the funkiness of a working store. I'll return to try some other dishes and see if they can earn another star. read more

If you like authentic mexican then check out Mexico 2000. More of a legit mexican bodega with a food spot in the back than Matamoros. The tacos, tortas, chimichangas they're all great, plus all the flavors of jarritos and boing you'd need. A little bit out of the way for most, luckily across the street for me. read more
