    Al Pastor Tacos
    Nathaniel T.

    This place is legit. My friends and I stumbled upon this place on our way back home from Dromedary Bar and saw the Al Pastor cart parked outside the restaurant. We grabbed the Al Pastor Tacos, Carne Asada Tacos and Chips and Guacamole and everything tasted great. Have high expectations for tacos and this place exceeded all standards! Would definitely come back again:

    a plate of tacos and rice

    BY FAR my favorite place to get tacos! Their carnitas tacos are so flavorful, juicy and fresh tasting. Their Al Pastor tacos also taste great! They give you lots of fresh cilantro, onions and lime. The salsa verde here is also my favorite, perfectly spiced and I pour it all over. The tortilla chips are homemade and sturdy and the guacamole never disappoints. I also love their flautas when I'm in the mood. There's lots of spots in the neighborhood but I always come back here 9/10 times. They aren't always the fastest but you KNOW they're making it fresh to order back there. The staff is so nice and friendly. Please show this place more love on Yelp

    My friends and I discovered Santa Ana after coming across a trompo cart outside on the streets. Immediately we knew we had found a hidden gem. Imagine the juiciest, most flavorful al pastor tacos: $3 and they're yours. This place has the best al pastor tacos I have ever had. If you live around here, you are beyond blessed.

    Perfect chips -- the homemade kind that are thicker/crunchier. W/ very tangy lime-heavy guac. Soooo good.

    Favorite spot in the whole neighborhood. Get the al pastor - It's the speciality because it's fresh. The taco boy is super friendly and will hook you up with great al pastor tacos, complete with doubled tortillas, lots of cilantro & onion, slivers of pineapple, radishes & lime. The quesadilla is great too, with the oaxaca cheese. My favorite chips of any Mexican restaurant. Awesome sauces & guac.

    Cuisine: 7 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 7 Overall: 7 This bar has been around for a while now and I can see why. Over 20 beers on tap and a good selection of other alcoholic beverages too. However, my friends and I were here for the food, so that's what this review is based on. She-wolf Sourdough (7/10) - It was good bread, but nothing really special. Hot Crab Dip (7/10) - Very veggie forward flavors, but you do taste crab. Not bad. Btw, this dish comes with a few pieces of the She-Wolf Sourdough. Danish Dog (7.5/10) - Great snap to the bite of the dog itself. Bread was great. Pickles are interesting, but the curry mayo should be stronger and more bold. Simple mustard would have been better. Old Bay Chicken Wings (8/10) - Nice plump and juicy wings with that dusting of Old Bay seasoning. Yum! Fried Chicken Sandwich (5/10) - Chicken was fried well and bread was fine. However, the chili miso honey was way too much for me. Too sweet, not spicy at all, and just didn't work well. Dry Aged Burger (7/10) - Beef patty needs more seasoning and a better crust. No real char at all, though a decent beef flavor was present. Not into the sprouts, but the tomato jam was good. From what I heard, I had high hopes for the food here. In the end, it was a satisfying meal, but nothing special something I travel so far for again.

With an incredible selection on tap, it's clearly a place that takes its beer program seriously - but it doesn't stop there. They also offer a solid lineup of wines, spirits, and cocktails, so there's something for everyone, even if beer isn't your go-to. The food is just as strong as the drinks. Their menu leans toward elevated bar food, and the burger is a standout - so good that when it was set down in front of my boyfriend, the person sitting next to him wanted one too. That pretty much says it all. Service is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, which makes the experience even better. The ambiance is chic, modern Scandinavian ambiance with reclaimed wood and white marble. Note: it can get loud of there is a sports game going on. Definitely visit if you are in the area!

He started out as a salesman for Brooklyn Brewery during the 1980s. Eventually he founded his own beer imports company called Raven Importing Company. Raven ultimately wanted to open his own craft beer bar and bottle shop where he could offer consumers microbrews and high quality European brews. The new business, dubbed Brouwerij Lane, was the first of its kind in Brooklyn's Greenpoint neighborhood. Brouwerij Lane has 19 rotating draught lines as well as 150+ cans and bottles of local, imported, rare and unique craft brews. Raven also teamed up with brewmaster Chris Prout to open the Dirck the Norseman restaurant and brewpub in 2014. It later evolved into Greenpoint Beer & Ale Company, but it sadly closed its doors in 2024. I recently visited Brouwerij Lane while I was in Brooklyn to see a concert. I arrived early in the day so I could explore some beer bars and shops throughout Williamsburg and Greenpoint. Both neighborhoods have bustling craft beer scenes. Brouwerij Lane has been on my list of places to explore for a while. The interior is small but cozy. There were maybe six other customers enjoying beers when I arrived. I grabbed a table and then looked over the impressive draught menu. I decided to start off with a pour of Mighty Squirrel Brewing's "Volare" (Italian Pilsner). Italian Pilsners are my favorite variety of pilsners, and this one was excellent. Dry-hopped with noble hops, "Volare" (Italian for 'to fly') was crisp and delicious with a nice blend of citrusy notes and hints of freshly baked bread. I also had a look at the shop's impressive can/bottle selection and purchased a can of Brown Girl's Brew's "Lemon Pound Cake" (Lager) to take home. Before leaving, I enjoyed a pour of Brouwerij Van Steenberge's "Tripel De Garre" (Belgian Tripel). This was an AMAZING Belgian beer that had some excellent spice notes. I had an excellent experience at Brouwerij Lane and I highly recommend them to craft beer aficionados or those who want to learn about craft beer!

The bar is located on the ground floor of a building at the corner of Union Avenue and Conselyea Street in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood. The building has been owned by the Lamonaca family for multiple generations. Beginning in the 1950s, the storefront served as a pharmacy that was run by Lamonaca's great-grandfather. In the 1970s and '80s, it was a gift shop run by his grandfather. Most recently it was an architecture firm. Lamonaca's grandmother still owns the building and even lives in the upstairs apartment. After spending six years at JP Morgan, Lamonca decided to leave the finance world. Although he was interested in finance, it was never his passion. He really loved craft beer though and wanted to open his own place where he could teach people about it. At Beer Karma, Lamonaca has curated a fine selection of beer from local NYC breweries as well as other breweries around the world. I recently visited Beer Karma while I was in Williamsburg to see a concert. Williamsburg is one of my favorite Brooklyn neighborhoods because in addition to the locals being very friendly, there is also a bustling craft beer scene. I was on the lookout for cans by Brooklyn-based Back Home Beer; they're not available in my home state of Connecticut. Beer Karma was cozy and inviting. They had an excellent selection of cans and bottles. I was happy to see that they indeed had cans of Back Home Beer (which I purchased to go). Since I was there, I decided to pull up a seat by the bar and order a draught beer. After looking over the chalkboard menu, I decided to go with Threes Brewing's "Endless Plane" (Wine Barrel-Aged Saison). It was a fantastic beer with delicious notes of white grape and stone fruit; I was very happy with my choice. Everyone at the bar was also very friendly. I had a nice chat with some people about pizza and beer.
