    no happy hour for drinks or food. no happy hour at all it is sad amazing drinks and food but it is expensive so to not have a happy hour is a debby downer especially in this economy that's it that's the review.

    Crispy chicken Tinga taco (shredded Chicken)
    Sasha B.

    Listen, Id you know me you know tacos are my love languages and I am really picky about where I partake. Recently started working in Bedstuy and was strolling the neighborhood and happened upon this spot. It was too late for me to order as my break was almost over but I was curious enough to read the reviews and was intrigued. It's a nice location with both an indoor and outdoor vibe. The block has good energy and the outdoor seating kinds of call you in. My first visit, I play it real safe and just order two crispy chicken tacos to go. It took about 10 mins and the staff was courteous. Bay-bee let me tell you, I ate them things like I was about to surrender myself to jail. They were finger licking good. A week later when a friend suggested we meet for happy hour, I suggested we meet here. It was Friday and we arrived around 5:30 to a packed bar, several large groups inside but plenty of outdoor seating. Since it was in the 70's late October we were happy to choose that option. I got the frozen sangria Margarita and 2 crispy chicken and she had guac and chips with the same drink. Once again, scarfed the tacos down. Drink was hitting and I left happy. Needles to say, I'll be back. I'll expand and try new things but it's clear that there are hands down in my top 4 and at that price point, that makes this place a real gem. Go, you won't regret it.

    Sangria Margarita

    I stopped in here on a Wednesday afternoon while waiting for a friend nearby. I sat at the bar. It was pretty empty inside, but there were a couple of people also sitting at the bar. I ordered the sangria margarita. It was just okay to me, but had a watered down taste. The bartender did need to be reminded to add the sangria so I'm not sure if it was made accurately. I would come back and try other drinks and food items on the menu.

    Came here for Cinco De Mayo and I loved the energy! The food was great, service was quick, and they had great music.

    Was put looking for something to eat and I was thinking Mexican. Passed one spot and had to go down some other blocks and came upon this gem. They had people outside and people inside. I ordered my food to go. I had the Bowl with shrimp and my boo had the grilled chicken taco and the beef one that stats with Barboa beef ( not the correct spelling). So one of the hostess told me that the BBQ beef was a hit so I got it and boo liked it. I am definitely going back and I would recommend this place. Oh and the happy hour is from 12-7

    Margarita On The Rocks
    Mary D.

    Sooo happy I found this spot!! Walked in and the mariachi music was blasting. Finally, a Mexican restaurant in nyc that understands the assignment. I had been craving a good Mexican spot and this place does not disappoint. I'm only docking a star because they do not have happy hour. I HIGHLY recommend getting that in order. Also had to doc a star because the margarita drank is pure sugar; I had to order a tequila shot on the side just to balance it out. Here's what I liked: the chips and guacamole was fresh. The service was attentive and helpful. The tacos were average, it wasn't bad but it wasn't great. I'm harsh sorry I'm from LA. I would come here again for the vibes and guacamole and chips. Ambiance - 5/5 Food - 4/5 Service - 5/5 Value - 4/5

    mango and strawberry frozen margarita (alcoholic beverage )

    We stopped by Sonora in Brooklyn mostly out of convenience--it was within walking distance, and we needed a quick bite before a concert. But wow, it did not disappoint! The frozen margaritas were incredible--super refreshing and strong in the best way--and they even offer them to go. My boyfriend ordered the burger, and it was insanely juicy. I went for the shrimp tacos, and honestly, they were the best I've ever had. We ended up taking some extra food to go and ate it after the concert--and somehow, it tasted even better the second time around. Customer service was super great. It was a cute place that also offered bar seating as well. Definitely a hidden gem worth checking out!

    fantastic place great Mexican the spot for Tacos and Margaritas. the service was fast and attentive the ambiance is amazing

Our reservation was for 8:30pm, but we arrived early and Alejandra, the hostess, was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. Even though she was ready to seat us, we decided to hang at the bar until the rest of our party arrived and that was the perfect move. Alkarys behind the bar was top-tier. She recommended the Siempre Reposado, and let me tell you... smooth, clean, dangerously good. If you're into tequila, that's a must. Now let's talk about the food. We ordered the quesadilla, rajas, tamales, tacos, and the queso fundido and every single dish hit. The queso fundido came out bubbling, rich, perfectly melted with that pull you want when you scoop it up. The tamales were moist and packed with flavor, wrapped beautifully and clearly made with care. The rajas had that perfect balance of roasted pepper sweetness and savory depth. The tacos? Authentic, well-seasoned, and layered with flavor, no shortcuts. Even the quesadilla stood out, crispy on the outside with that perfectly melted interior. Everything felt traditional, elevated but still true to its roots. You can taste the authenticity. Service was attentive without being overbearing, the ambiance was super casual and laid back, the kind of Brooklyn spot you pull up to for a real dinner experience, not just a quick bite. Highly recommend this place if you're out and about in Brooklyn. Definitely coming back for the tequila, the queso fundido, and round two of those tacos. I'm gonna try eating at the bar to check out the spot in the front of the house.

AMBIANCE: Walking to the restaurant from the subway, it's located on an unassuming block at the corner of 4th St and Havemeyer in Williamsburg, front of store doesn't particularly stand out. Walking in they've decorated with creative, crafty (in a good way) touches--the multitude of ropes draped from the ceiling add dimension to the ceiling and the bar back wall is composed of wood pieces forming a multi-colored herringbone pattern. Textured glass pendant lights hanging from the ceiling throw mini geometric patterns across the dark walls, and vibrant canvas artworks add pictorial interest along the walls. FOOD: YUM. I can see why this place was jam packed on a Saturday night, and reservations are needed. Strong recommendation for their tasting menu at $58 pp, what a delightful meal! 8 sharing dishes and 3 desserts were perfect for a party of five, and drinks are separate though you can add a cocktail pairing for $47. For each main they provide a serving per person, and the desserts are shared. I came hungry and was so full by the end of the meal--everything was delicious! - grapefruit guacamole w/house-made chips: the grapefruit chunks were "meaty" and surprisingly went really well with the guac, it added a different citrus element than the usual lime. Comes with a small bowl of maybe 6-7 chips and we asked for two chips refills since the chips to guac and salsa ratio was low. - spicy faroe islands' salmon tartar: tasty and I liked the latin flavors and corn, snow peas, a touch of wasabi. Flavors of the sesame-soy-truffle-lemon vin and crema got a little muddled. Relatively more "generic" dish of the evening though I was here for it! Any dish with fresh tender salmon, I can't complain. - blue crab and carrot tostada, generous shredded crab salad on top of freshly crisp blue corn tortilla. Topped with pumpkin seeds, dill, cilantro, and saffron-orange aioli. - three cheese & artichoke 'queso fundido': served in a very hot ceramic pot and super melty and delicious, eaten with the fluffy grilled pita and green apple slices + salsa. One of the top picks of the evening. - roasted bone marrow and chorizo, served as tacos with fresh blue corn tortillas, and added a sprinkle of pickled onions--does that sound amazing? Bc it was AAHMAZING. - spicy chipotle-guajillo shimp 'diablo' (not spicy): served with pumpkin tortillas and three accompaniments on the side--mushroom chile crisp, horseradish crema, celery 'salsa macha". Part 2 to make your own tacos was another hit! Our entire table agreed if they sold the sauce for the shrimp we'd all buy it. - heritage pork osso bucco 'carnitas' with Fall-spiced black mole, sour cherry mostardo, calabrian chile pesto: cue drooling now. This part 3 of the tacos was served on pumpkin tortillas; the meat was practically falling off the bone, tender, juicy and flavorful. - buffalo-style com 'elote: sooo good too! A little messier to eat since it comes drizzled with spicy hot sauce butter, feta, lime aioli, cilantro, though totally worth it! - Desserts: --green tea matcha churros: comes with two little pots of spiced mexican chocolate & passion fruit sauce. Warm, sugary and crisp without being too sweet. --pumpkin spiced-vanilla flan: topped with sour cherries, cocoa nibs & toasted seed 'trail mix", if you love flan you'll love this, so smooth and creamy with a bit of crunch and tang from the cherries. --pistachio tres leches cake with cream cheese frosting, raspberry, using an olive oil cake: we all agreed this was probably the best tres leches we've ever had. The pistachio nuttiness and the creaminess from the milks paired well. SERVICE: Very friendly and attentive service though it was very loud in the restaurant and they had to really shout. There was a delay in the middle of our meal I think bc kitchen was slammed, after the entree we waited about 35 min for our desserts. Considering they limited the seating to 2 hours and about half of our party arrived 20 min late, and accounting for the long wait pre-dessert, they did us solid by extending our table time by about an hour in total. Also great that they brought the first dessert out with a candle for my friend's birthday.
