I had thought I discovered a hidden gem when I tried their Lengua taco for the first time in park slope. Turns out they have several locations and are extremely popular. I felt dumbfounded! Nenes is something like the in n out of nyc. When my friend and I saw the storefront, the line was out the door. Many years ago back in LA, I had a mediocre cactus dish at a diner and never looked back. My friend went for a cactus mulita and I took a bite that turned into two more big ones. The cactus was crazy delicious with gobs of pull apart cheese, crispy browned edges, thick corn tortilla flavor, and spicy mango salsa, and pickled onion. When you come to nenes, you forget the line and wait. You transfigure into sheep and are happily a part of the herd. The only thing everyone is thinking are the minutes on the clock before annihilating the food. read more

This place is quite affordable, as it was $13 for a pretty well-sized burrito. The burrito was good. However, I felt like the meat was a little dry and could have used a little more flavor, but overall it was solid. I do really like the sauce bar they have! The orange salsa was sweet and smoky and spicy, and the green salsa was very solid, and I liked the pickled radish as well. The service is very efficient, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambience inside feels very no-frills and authentic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, I would recommend this place if you're looking for a good quick value meal. read more

So we ordered the Birria quesadilla. It was VERY BIG. Flavor was good as well. We ordered one chicken and cheese empanada, and one chicken empanada. The one with cheese was definitely better because the one with just the chicken was very dry! I also ordered the tres leche cake which I was disappointed about. It was a generic store bought cake and the flavor was not very good. I would definitely order from here again and try different food items. read more

Ordered Nene's deluxe (birria taco, mulita, empanada) for late night delivery and they were good! Not the best birria I've ever had, but definitely serviceable. The empanada had lost any crispness by the time it arrived, but still had good flavor and the cheese with the crust was yummy. Taco was fine. Never had a mulita before but I'd order one again! read more

One of my friends has been raving about the Birra ramen here! Since I've been feeling under the weather, today was the perfect time to try it. I ordered the Birria Ramen off of Uber Eats and I asked for extra noodles on the side. When it arrived, it was wrapped up, with some slight slippage. Unfortunately, my extra noodles weren't honored. Now onto the taste, it tastes as good as it looks. I had to save the taste and slow down at times because it was so good. The only reason why I stopped eating it was because I didn't have enough noodles. There was a gracious amount of meat and broth left over. In all, I would order this again! Please try to incorporate an extra noodles option if possible ! read more

I ordered delivery. Their cheese empanada was great. Full of melty cheese with a satisfying, crispy shell. The portion size of the chips and guacamole was a little small, but it was tasty. I loved their rice and beans. Both were on the softer side, but had nice, full flavor. Also enjoyed the mushroom taco. They were generous with the toppings and the mushrooms were well-prepared. I liked the nopale tacos a bit less, as the cactus did not taste as fresh. read more

The burrito was not my absolute favorite but pretty good. Felt a bit mushy. I would prefer my protein (chicken) to not blend in with the beans and all. read more

Wow! Nenes Deli Taqueria is wonderful! A friend recommended stopping here. I picked up a handful of tacos, quesadillas and sides of rice and beans tonight and regrettably our group was so excited to dig in that I didn't have a chance to take photos! We tried steak, chicken and birria and I have to say that the birria was the true standout! The steak and chicken were a little dry. The corn tortillas were better than the flour. Next time I'll try the Maya ice pops! They looked really good! I'll be back! read more

There's birria, and there's BIRRIA. My boyfriend and I swung by for a quick dinner and ordered two birria tacos, two al pastor tacos, one birria empanada and one cup of consommé. The birria tacos and empanada were both unbelievably good. Prob my favorite consommé I've tried, too. Al pastor was serviceable but you can skip that. They have limited counter seating, so maybe don't bring 5 friends. Nenes is god tier. Will be dreaming about this. read more

Very lucky to have Nene's within walking distance. The service there is quick and efficient and the prices are reasonable. I just recently had the birria burrito and it was phenomenal. The meat was tender and flavorful and I love the salsas that accompany it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This isn't a full sized restaurant. There's counter seating and a few scattered tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This place should definitely be in your rotation. read more

No frills and pretense here. Great tacos , average to long wait even if you don't see any other customers ( they are slammed with online and delivery orders) This is the original location, my favorite. I had tacos at the Park Slope one too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Food is consistent but I like the atmosphere here especially in the summer . Loud music blasting, Mexican groceries (snacks ,got sauces, drinks etc)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]This location gives old Brooklyn neighborhood corner store meets Mexican village shop vibes . Full of transplants of course lol.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food is good and fresh. Flavors on point. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are tables out front in the summer and now that it's cold the store front is enclosed and there is still seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A small counter with high stools indie the shoshop as well. I usually order and eat in the car if no seats available. I will never take a taco far away from it's birthplace and sacrifice the quality lol. Besides, how else will I torture my hubby if the car didn't reek of onions and cilantro lol. Parking is also difficult around this area so be prepared to go on a small hike if you find street arking a couple or 8 blocks away. Oh ,there's a school across the street so be aware of traffic congestion on this street during dismissal time. Vegetarian options available- mushroom and nopales. My hubby likes the Birria Ramen ,I stick to the tacos- birria and al pastor. The consomè hahas such depth. I load up on Mexican Coke and snack and palettas. read more

Man I love this place. Good no-frills spot for some GREAT tacos. Birria is my fave, but all the meats are tender and juicy, every single time so you can't go wrong. Agua de Jamaica is very good so I highly recommend with your tacos. Service is usually quick but if you are waiting a bit just know it's very well worth it. read more

Stopped by on a wintry cold evening to grab some birria ramen. I've been coming to this Bushwick location less often now because they have a second Park Slope location that is a bit closer to me. But, the charm of the original location is still here, from the throng of people waiting for their orders to the Mexican snacks they also sell at the counter. The birria ramen ($14.56) is made with Tapatio ramen and Nene's own consommé. It is a bit of a lava red greasebomb so I would advise against wearing white when eating this. But, it hits the spot when it's late and super cold outside. My favorite still remains the birria empanada. read more

These are THE BEST Birria tacos I have ever had!! Get the Birria taco combo! Also get the salsas and a side of guacamole. The Birria quesadilla is out of this world too. This is seriously the kind of meal that you will think about days later and you won't get over how good it was. Although, I will happily drive or walk 45 min to this place at anytime, I highly recommend DoorDashing for pick up or delivery. The inside is more of a bodega and they don't have a ton of seating. read more

Stopped by yesterday for dinner and as I entered the establishment there was a cluster of customers seemingly looking very frustrated as I learn to realize everyone have been waiting overwhelmingly. It took me about a 20 minutes wait before I was able to order. I ordered a Birria Deluxe, two chicken tacos, guac and chips and 2 jarritos. Seems like since I was the only one that ate at the counter I got my order before people that had been waiting there for close to 2 hours. Total was about 40 bucks not bad overall. However this is a understaffed establishment with two young teenagers handling the front counter which is a big fail. there is no order behind the counter and I was there for about close to 2 hours and the place was 100% packed with frustrated people waiting for long periods of time cause the kids at the counters had absolutely no clue what they were doing. the cooks were extremely overwhelmed with orders and the grill they have at this place is very small. Picture was a new crowd waiting frustrated besides the one that was there when I first arrived. Please hire more staff. seems like you guys are ready to expand and please put personnel to handle all doordash Uber eats order only and another person behind the counter to do in-house orders and another person on the phone. I'm afraid to say coming from the Bronx that I won't be returning read more

Wow! A co-worker just gave me a birria taco and it was so yummy. I will definitely be going to get my own order very soon!

Came all the way here to try their birria tacos. They were delicious. The meat was tender and moist from the marinade. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's only a counter here, so not the best place to eat if you plan on talking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Somewhat expensive for a side of consume that I ended up not getting it. The tacos are plenty moist themselves and large enough that one was quite filling for me. I liked the acidity of the lime and onions that cut that richness of the meat. The taco was also loaded with cheese that made it even more hearty. read more

Came to this deli after a long day of thrifting and was delightfully surprised! The storefront was like a bodega & you already knew it felt authentic with a whole family sitting at the front munching away. There is minimal seating & we went on a Monday afternoon so we were served fast & had time to dine in. The deluxe box for 2 + 2 extra tacos for trying were the best meal for my sister & I. We got to try a little bit of everything & the taste stayed consistent throughout. I loved the birria & the consome, we ate every last bite and could not get over how lowkey the place felt. definitely worth every penny. Would try again next time I'm in new york! read more

This Mexican deli is quite popular and was super packed when we stopped by on a Tuesday night. My friend was excited to try the famous birria pizza. Despite the large crowd and how busy they were, the staff at the counter was friendly, and they kept the line moving quickly. This is a deli, and they have a lot of authentic Mexican products and snacks, in addition to the cooked food. They have all of the typical decor of a real Mexican spot, including la Virgen de Guadalupe. There are a few stools at the counter, but you should really just get your food to go. After about a 30-40 minute wait, we got our birria pizza and cecina quesadilla. I was surprised by the weight of the pizza. It was quite heavy! The birria pizza was stuffed with meat and so much cheese that the price makes sense. I was only able to eat one slice, and I was completely stuffed. I like the crispness of the melted cheese but just was not blown away by the taste of the pizza. It was fine, not great. Maybe I was expecting too much, but it was underwhelming. I was also not very impressed with the quesadilla. There was a lot of cheese, and the beef is entirely too salty. I would recommend trying it out just to see what the hype is about, but I don't need to return. read more

We traveled all the way from Connecticut to experience Nenes Barria Pizza and it did not disappoint. The seating is limited but we were able to find some seating to enjoy our Birria Pizza.

The meat was flavored well and the dipping soup was very tasty. I'll definitely be back read more

You want birria tacos and consume? Go here if you're in Bushwick Open late. Always busy. The cashier is at the front for ordering. Do yourself a favor and just order the birria taco combo. It's 3 tacos, and consume for about $12.50 Rating: 8/10 It took about 20 min last time I went. The cashier is very nice. English and Spanish both work. Looks like credit accepted but I recommend cash. The deli has lots of drinks and snacks for sale. You can load up toppings and sauces against the wall across from the cashier. The tacos are deep fried with cheese and that crispy and cheesy flavor will hit you first. Next you'll taste some onions, cilantro, and savory meat in the middle. The consume is a thick broth, flavorful and salty, great for dipping that taco! So drown that taco in that consume and have a heart attack like the rest of us. In terms of flavor I was more impressed with Birria Landia but for the size, and cost of these it is worth it. I also didn't have to wait outside for a food truck read more

Birria everything!!! Yay I came on a Friday afternoon and there was no wait at all. There was a small family on the counter seating inside but other than that I ordered quickly. The staff is very nice and efficient. There's other deli items and sauces you can purchase in the store as well! I got a birria taco and I didn't see it on the menu but I got a birria empanada too! I added a horchata, and it was the perfect amount of food. The taco was delicious just the right amount of each ingredient and JUICY. The empanada was bigger than I expected and PACKED with birria. The amount of juices that came out of this baby wow, I wish I had had some rice to soak it up lol. Well worth $8.50 for both! The horchata at $3.50 was so worth it too, refreshing and sweet at first but slightly nutty that you can taste after. Yum! Worth the hype. read more

I was first introduced to Nene's in Park Slope after a day of bar hopping in Gowanas. At the time, I was very much still a lactose-intolerant pescatarian and ordered the veggie tacos without much thought. I'd heard a lot about birria and thought it sounded like a delicious Mexican food (Texan here) but never thought much of it. My boyfriend and friends all got the birria tacos and holy hell... It looked and smelled SO GOOD. Cut to six months later when I was nibbling on meat here and there when my boyfriend and I would go out to dinner and share bites of our meals. For whatever reason, I had a massive craving for meat and *needed* to try birria. Nene's was the automatic choice and I promptly ordered delivery from their OG Bushwick location - getting the Birria platter, which included a taco, empanada, militia and consomé. Safe to say I devoured it all in one setting (it was probably two meals for me but when you haven't been eating meat in years, portion control wasn't gunna happen). I ended up ordering it again a couple months later, but just getting the birria taco platter (3 tacos with consomé), as the tacos were def my fave. Each time I ordered, it came with complimentary house made salsas, cilantro, lime wedges and radish. So unbelievably delicious. Pretty sure I ordered pickup of the same order just a couple weeks later. The addiction was real, the birria is so tender, flavorful, JUICY. The tortillas hold their own and don't fall apart, the lime adds the perfect zing, and the green salsa is just *chefs kiss*. So bring to our most recent order on Friday. We were in the neighborhood and hungry, so after hearing about their birria PIZZA, I managed to convince my man we needed to try it out. It's basically a medium-sized pizza in the form of a massive, 8-slice quesadilla for $26 (cash) or $30 card/online. Considering 3 tacos are 14.99, this seemed like a steal since each pizza wedge is clearly bigger than a taco. It was 3 layers of massive tortilla, cheese, birria, cilantro, and of course their famous consomé. They had a salsa bar for us to self-serve for our to-go order and we were able to grab extra limes, cilantro and radish as well. But wow. The pizza! THE PIZZA. It was so damn good. I mean yeah, it's clearly a quesadilla, but it was so good and more than plenty for 2 people. And not overly cheesy! They do not skimp on the meat. Definitely the type of thing to order if you have a few friends over, and it's more food than you'd typically get for a New York pizza at the same price. All in all, just try it. Or if you want food for 2-4 meals just for yourself, this is also a great deal for some damn good food. read more

Ordered: 2 Birria Tacos w Cheese ($3.50 each) Birria Empanada ($4) Aya's take: No better way to end the night than a visit to Nene's! I'm shocked this was my first time here. Upon entering, we ordered within 5 minutes but then waited about 25 minutes for our order. They have so many other orders ahead so definitely call ahead if you'd rather not wait. The Birria Tacos with Cheese were delicious and flavorful. I wish they gave even a small cup of consumé on the side to dip into. The real winner was the Birria Empanada. Crispy, flaky, and filled with all the same deliciousness as the tacos. Overall, great try! read more

My sister had been dying to take my and my son out here to try this food. I have to say that it did not disappoint. When we finally managed to find parking, we went inside and the place took me by surprise. It looks like a bodega/pizza spot/restaurant all wrapped up in one. There were a lot of people entering and leaving, and plenty more waiting inside. We approached the counter and checked out the menu.

Amazing, quick tacos, quesadillas, burritos, soups, etc. with limited counter and outdoor seating (but seating nonetheless!). The birria tacos and birria quesadilla were both great, however, when I went to order birria soup with the latter (during my second trip in two consecutive days), I was given not your typical birria (usually used for dipping the tacos/quesadilla/whatever in as well as for sipping) but a big container of birria soup and ramen, which was an odd twist and honestly not our favorite (not to mention relatively expensive, as we'd ordered two, thinking it would be comparable in quantity to those soups we've had elsewhere, and ended up with a $50+ bill and too much food). read more
