We have a winner for the best Fajita! I came here with my boyfriend after reading somewhere online that Tacos Matamoros is one of the best Mexican restaurants in NYC, so we decide to check it out. We had Fajita de Bistec and Barbacoa de Chivo. The fajita seasoning was so good and flavorful that my boyfriend fell in love with it immediately. The Barbacoa was not as greasy and salty as those I had in San Antonio, but it was probably more healthy so I felt comfortable eating them all. Besides the food, the lunch special price was decent for the food and the portion was huge. We would definitely come again, and next time, I'll try the Lengua Burrito :) read more

Disappointed Pros: 1. Restaurant looks nice from the outside, but don't be tricked Cons: 1. While you eat, you think : "I could have cooked myself, and it would have been much much better" 2. They charged me $1,50 per extra corn tortilla. $1.50 per corn tortilla!!! Restaurants in the area offers free extra corn tortilla (note, they probably buy tortilla at Key Food next door, where ~100 tortilla are sold for $2). Insulting. read more

Food is usually good but no one speaks English and they always screw the order up. Place looks like a typical Mexican spot with all the cultural decorative nuances you'd expect. If you can get past the all the communication barriers and obstacles, food is decent. read more

YUMMY nachos!! Great service too. We started off with nachos served with green salsa, red salsa, lime and guacamole. It tasted very fresh and the salsa ranged in level of spice. Then we moved onto the veggie taco, fajita and burrito. By the time it came to dessert, I was stuffed. It's more full filling then you think!! Overall, it was a pleasant Mexican meal. read more

My mother went there to eat with a friend, she also ordered large chorizo tacos to go for me. When I opened the tacos there was barely any chorizo on the taco, it was more tortilla than any else. I will say that when I call they offered to replace the tacos only after I said that I was going to place a bad review of the order online, I decided not to get the replacement tacos since I don't think their food is worth it anymore. read more

Tacos Matamoros - Chorizo taco - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

If I could give this 0 stars I would. The food is disgusting. I am currently sitting in their establishment with a plate of old microwaved rice, it smells. My sister ordered a ceviche tostada that was served to her with frozen seafood.. like the seafood was literally frozen on top of a tostada and served to her. My son ordered chicken nuggets that look inedible, they look like they have dar spots. The server walked over and I'm assuming she saw me taking pictures of the bad food, she just put dirty napkins on top of the food that my sister was still working on. When I asked for a to go container I got offered a piece of foil. I won't be coming back here and I don't recommend anyone to come here, you may get sick eating their food. read more

This is my go-to place for dinner :) The atmosphere is casual, but it's still a sit-down place. It's nice for a chill date night or an easy meal with family/friends. It can get busy, which can make service slower sometimes, but it's worth the wait! The food is super good for the price. I haven't gotten bored of this place even though I've been so many times because the menu has a wide variety of options. Also, the cocktails are super affordable and good! Definitely recommend read more

Man I wish this place was local to me. It's a spacious, casual Mexican joint with really fresh, delicious food - what's not to love? I do think the portions could be larger- both the guacamole and the huevos chorizo entree were small. The guac is barely enough to split between two people, and the entree is not enough on it's own to fill up one hungry person. Although both were delicious. And their tacos were really out of this world, so if you plan on supplementing your meal with a few you'll leave stuffed. We ordered the shrimp, chorizo, and carnitas tacos. Dressed with either fresh pico de gallo or cilantro and onions, these were some damn good tacos. The carnitas were tender enough to melt in your mouth but not so tender that it becomes a stringy, mushy mass. The chorizo was flavorful without soaking the soft tortilla in grease. Even the table-side salsas were outstanding- particularity the red salsa, it had a hint of smokiness. They also have fresh juice- not cold pressed, just fresh (so there's more texture and foam), and I elected to get a mixture of everything green on the menu and throw it in the juicer. read more

I love the decor cuz it tries to transport me to a Mexican place. This resto is a decent size and well-ventilated. It has an open kitchen. There are tables in the front and cushioned banquettes in the back. One women's and one men's room between dining areas. Plus, 2 TV's to watch while eating. I ordered a large Spicy Enchilada taco and large Carne taco. Both proteins were okay and bland though. for dessert, I asked for the Pastres de leches (name?) and was let down when waitress told me they don't have. I ordered the Tiramisu and cup of coffee. I enjoyed the bounty of coffee-soaked ladyfingers. Coffee was typical. read more

Absolutely one of those local neighborhood gems that doesn't get the credit it probably deserves, but keeps on chugging. I came here on a Saturday night at about 7pm and the restaurant was pretty full. There were a few seats available, but the dinner crowd was in full force and I found out why pretty soon. I've been to Tacos El Bronco in Brooklyn and Tacos Matamoros was very similar in quality. I definitely got a sense that if you want authentic Mexican tacos you can't go wrong with either, except that Tacos Matamoros restaurant is a bit more lively and bigger. I won't go into detail about the 10 tacos I ordered. Yes you read that right, 10 tacos because they were $1.50-$2.00 each only! Amongst the 10 tacos I did order were the Pollo Asado, Suadero, Chorizo, Carne Enchilada and Al Pastor. The tacos were soft, double-shelled and full of meat. As I expected, there was plenty of red onions and cilantro spread throughout with a large side of green sauce! Yes, that green sauce! The one that makes these tacos ooohhhh sooo good! If there's one thing I learned from coming here is that they don't rip you off and you absolutely get more than your money's worth! There's nothing like finding a local ethnic neighborhood hotspot that is no frills with great authentic food and that is exactly what Tacos Matamoros is. read more

Came here for Cinco de Mayo and it was a great time. Arrived and got seated right away and it was really busy at the time. It was such a cozy feel and the place was nicely decorated. Ordered the Strawberry and Mango Margarita as well as Piña Colada for drinks. Had a variety of tacos, sausage cheese fondue, melted nachos with chicken, and chips and guac. Staff was friendly and attentive for it being such a busy day for them. Prices are fairly cheap and so were the drinks. Atmosphere was nice and chill with festive music playing. Wish we had time to try a dessert but maybe next time. Overall, it was such a great place to enjoy cinco de mayo! read more

The inside was large compared to most places in Brooklyn and there was plenty of seating. I ordered jamaican water but none was available so I settled for horchata. I ordered sopes with chicken and red salsa plus a steak burrito. There were 4 sopes with decent size and amount of meat plus cheese (no lettuce or tomatoe) and they were each good. I did not get to eat my burrito as I got full with the sopes, ordered a box to go but forgot the box at the restaurant.... bummer. It was confusing whom my waitress was, as each (3 waitresses) would pass by and asked if I needed something or brought me food/condiments. Normally made eye contact to get one of their attention. read more

Tacos Matamoros - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Wow, where have you been all my life Matamoros? As a recent transplant to NY from San Diego, I've been longing for good Mexican food. My housemate told me about this spot and we decided to go together. I got 3 tacos (adobada, carnitas, pollo asada) along with a verde tamale. The meat was tender and flavorful, especially the carnitas. The meal came with a verde and rojo salsa, and I have to say that though it wasn't phenomenal, it definitely did the job. I'm not a huge tamale fan, but the tamale here was pretty moist and tender, overall really tasty. The best part? Tacos were only $1.75 each, while the tamale was $2-something. Quite exceptional for NY standards! Their frequent and polite service was a plus too. Looking forward to coming back to try more things~ read more

Came in for lunch in this horrible heat. You have to wait to be seated but it was literally a two minute wait. We were given menus right away. They're thankfully was enough air conditioning to make this place feel cool. We ordered guacamole and chips, Bistec encebollado and mixed fajitas. They came very quickly with our beverages and appetizers which is always a good start. I'm glad appetizers didn't come out at same time as meal. The guacamole could've been bigger as it was in a small bowel about 4 oz. Next came the main courses. The mixed fajitas came with mixed vegetables, shrimp, beef and chicken sizzling on a fajita plate. The smell was so good, I almost ate my dates food. The sides were yellow rice and refried beans which were seasoned well. The bistec encebollado also came with rice and beans. I ate every bite of that steak as it was tasty and wasn't over powered with the onions. The wait staff was attentive and we will be coming back here. Well priced and good food. read more

I've been a customer for over ten years and order delivery from them every now and then. In the last delivery orders they messed up my order, when I called them to complain about my order they told me that they were too busy to get my order right and next time they will do a better job. However, I called them today to order a deliver and they told me that they do not deliver to this area (they've been doing it for years) and they never deliver to this area before. The most ridiculous part was that they had my address in their computer system, and when I asked to speak to the manager they hanged up the phone on me. I hope that the management of this place can address this issue, and retrain their employees in order to do THEIR JOB in a professional way. read more

Tacos Matamoros Best Mexican Restaurant in New York City | Best Foods in New York City Vlog Review: https://youtu.be/I01wBQZ_Pzw If you're a fan of Mexican food, you'll love Tacos Matamoros. Not only is the food good, but it's inexpensive too; frozen or on-the-rocks margaritas cost between $5-6 (a crazy steal). The waiters and waitresses are always attentive and provide a great a experience. There's no doubt about it, Tacos Matamoros is the Best Mexican Restaurant in New York City. My argument is based on price, quality of food, and overall experience - there's no other place in New York City where you can order a $2.50 taco & a $5.75 margarita.

In some cities, finding good tacos doesn't matter at all. In other cities, good tacos don't matter much. In some cities, they matter a lot... but in Brooklyn... they Matamore, os. What to get: Pastor or Chorizo Tacos. What else: My bottom hurts, no more clients tonight please. These are some of the better Tacos in Brooklyn. I've had Chorizo, Pastor and Asada, and all were good. Chorizo and Pastor are the way to go, though. The Asada here is a little bland. Make sure you get them Mexican style with cilantro y cebollas obviously, and make sure you get both the green and red salsa, and combine the two on your tacos. Yummmmmmmmmm. Be aware that customer service can be iffy at times and some of the staff are less than friendly. I almost gave them a 4 star because of this, but it's too enjoyable to nom down on this food. Be aware that they don't always open at the time posted, and there can be quite a wait even for a small order, since everything is cooked to order, so make sure you call ahead if you're in a hurry - like I was. They had my tacos ready and waiting so I was able to speed off to Philly to make it to John's Roast Pork just before closing at 3pm. The second time I came in, I wasn't into the Asada as much, but I realize the Pastor and the Chorizo are the way to go. They're not the best tacos in the world, but NYC isn't really home of the best tacos, so judging by NYC standards, these are definitely 5-star tacos. Awesome. And of course they're in Sunset Park so you can try other great places at the same time, such as Ricos Tacos and El Tenampa, which are both 5 stars as well. Just don't eat too many of them, or you'll get Fatamoros. And don't ask for them deep fried, your cholesterol doesn't need all that Batter-moros. And if you hate FIFA as much as I do, then you agree that they're run by a Blatter-moron. Starlight says she wants to rename them Catamoros. I'm okay with that. Go get some tacos. Enjoy them. Real Mexican food. Not the fake crap they're serving in Manhattan. Come. Order. Eat. Enjoy. Delicioso! read more

Very disappointing. I ordered 3 small tacos, 2 large tacos, 1 quesadilla, 1 flan and a order of guacamole. And there was a long strand of hair in my guac. In which it was very very disgusting. The chicken tacos tasted bland. No flavor beside the cilantro and onion in it. $1.75 of a waste for each taco smh. It is so frustrating when you are hungry and you pay for food that taste like crap.

There's tons of taco joints on fifth and fourth avenue. You might even mistake one for Tacos Matamoros because you'll be distracted by the lights and smells, but try not to because TM is totally worth it. We came in around 8pm on a Tuesday - there were tons of group dinners (this place is huge and great for family dinners) and little dates happening. We ordered guac and chips (total must) and it was totally worth it. But, we didn't expect it to be so much. Small tacos are $1.50 each and large are $2.75. I say go for the large, esp. the chorizo (yummy spicy and ground meat) and carnitas (soft, pulled pork, similar to Puerto Rican pernil, oh my god...) - they're so delicious and topped with a huge helping of onions and cilantro - the way that tacos are supposed to be made. We also had the carne asada (Mexican style steak) and it was a lot of food. The platter comes with refried beans, salsa, a little bit of guac, and Mexican rice. I could have probably just eaten the platter on my own (w/o the tacos and chips and guac), but decided to share and get a taste of everything. This place is awesome, prices are great. The place does have a B but I didn't really mind. read more

My thoughts as we sit down, "This is like a Saturday morning at a popular Chinese dim sum place except switch up the menu for Mexican and switch up the Chinese clientele for Latinos." We initially walked in the first time and the place was packed, but ventured in again for a second time, only to find the place even more packed. Luckily, a party of 4 just left, so we were seated immediately. The atmosphere is chaos and noise, and kids running around and the strong scent of tacos hovering in the air. A place as packed as this could only mean good Mexican food. We were greeted by a waitress and since I was in the mood to practice Spanish. I ordered everything in Spanish. My friends also followed suit, but this would prove to be problematic. I ordered a poblano queso fundido, and everyone else got some tacos. A few people in my party were disappointed that their small tacos did not come with guacamole and the waitress neglected to point this out on the menu. Only if you order a large taco does the guac come with it. Party foul #1. I had no complaints about my queso fundido. The poblano peppers roasted to perfection with a slight hint of spiciness and everything was swimming in melted cheese. You can't go wrong with melted cheese...ever. The plate was large and I onl had 25% of it and took the rest home (I can report that after 2 days, it was still as tasty). My friends were not so lucky. We had a busboy with neck tattoos give us an attitude about how it is not really his job to explain the menu to us, and then have him proceed to tell us that small tacos don't come with guac. Never ever tell restaurant patrons, "it isn't my job." Your job is to take care of customers, and to take it. I should know, I only waited tables a few years before my current career option came to fruition. Overall, I liked this place. I like that the place is teeming with people and that the whole scene is chaotic. I like chaos in my life (this does not translate to drama). Check this place out when in Sunset Park, it is a solid establishment and beats any Rosa Mexicana I have ever been to, but it doesn't beat out authentic places in Mexico, but comes very close... read more

I have always been pretty disappointed with the Mexican food at most places in NYC. The only place that I have found to be any good was at the red Hook Ball fields but that place is only available during the summer and fall seasons, and even for those months, only on the weekends. Then, recently, I found out about the Mexican food in the Sunset Park area and in particular a place called Tacos Matamoros which is said to serve some pretty decent Mexican fare. I have a friend who lives by this neighborhood. Taking advantage of the fact that he speaks Spanish, I dragged him to this place as my unpaid translator. This worked out for me because we discovered our waitress barely spoke English at all ( there was a lot of waitresses at the place though so I can't say how many are like this). After having the waitress explain a few items on the menu for me, during which she was an absolute doll for being so patient with answering my endless questions, I settled on Quesadillas Con Carne o queso , Tostadas De Ceviche, and Tacos Pollo Grande. Quesadillas Con Carne o queso (Quesadillas with beef / cheese): This dish came with very soft and fluffy yellow rice and very smooth re-fried beans. There was three quesadillas with the order and each have a very crunchy fried outer shell that holds some pretty flavorful beef inside with a decent amount of a white cheese (not sure what kind it was). This dish was unexpectedly huge and was a steal at only $6.50. Tostadas De Ceviche ( Fried tortilla shell topped with seafood): For $3.50, there was a surprisingly large amount of shrimp and octopus mixed with citrus juice, tomatoes, and other seasonings with a large slice of guacamole on top of it all.. The shrimp and octopus was cooked by blanching quickly in hot water and further cooked by marination in the citrus juice. Another Yelper friend told me that this was a fairly common technique for Ceviche for shrimp and octopus. I always thought authentic Ceviche calls for uncooked ingredients before marination. The dish was very good with a sharp, citrus taste from the marination. Tacos Pollo Grande (Large chicken taco): All the tacos comes in two sizes. Small and large. Besides the size difference, the waitress told us that the small one doesn't comes with guacamole. It's $1.25 for the small one and and only $2.25 for the large one. There was a lot of chicken meat and a whole dollop of guacamole between two soft tortillas. It was good but I probably should have ordered something besides chicken because as with the problem with some chicken dishes, the chicken meat was a little bland and was the weakest part of the whole taco. I could see it being even tastier with other choices such as steak that would marinate better. All this food for $12.25 and to be truthful, adding the taco was a bit much since I didn't expect the portions to be so big relative to the price so I could have done without that and still have enough food. I still think the Country Boys Food Truck in Red Hook Ball Fields have a superior taco but this place isn't bad at all and have a much wider selection to choose from. I guess people are right about Sunset Park being where some of the more proper Mexican foods could be found at. read more

I was recommend to come here by someone and they bragged how this is the best taco place ever and extremely authentic and that I must try it. Well I gave it a try and I don't think I would really go back unless I was in the area and I was extremely hungry. We walked in and we notice that people started seating themselves so we sat down. We noticed that the one waitress and one waiter were running all over the place serving tables and more and more people just kept coming. It was going on thirty minutes and no one approached us so we got ahold of someone finally. The guy comes over with the menus and said they were are wrong and were suppose to wait for someone to seat us but we told him everyone was coming in and seating themselves. Than finally a waitress comes over who spoke almost no English and couldn't understand what we were saying. We order and it took another thirty minutes to get the food. I got a chicken quesadilla and a chicken taco. The chicken quesadilla was extremely weird and came with a ton of mushrooms in it. I think there was more mushrooms than chicken in it and it way over powered it. The chicken taco wasn't the greatest I had. The chicken was really dry and tasteless to me. I really wasn't to happy especially after waiting so long and dealing with bad customer service. I see they were really busy so I don't know if we just had a bad experience or that's how it really is. Maybe one day I would give it a try again but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

After watching Bilal's show at Metrotech I met up with Germaine to grab lunch.. Thanks to yelp he found Tacos Matamoros! Our order included the Tacos both Regular and Super.. I highly recommend ordering the Supersized Tacos! Tripe, Lengua, Carne Asada, and Al Pastor... My eyes were oogling with delight once we stepped foot in the restaurant... the waitresses were servicing other patrons, and EVERYTHING they brought out looked delicious... One thing that caught my eye was the Tostadas Ceviche.. I ordered one of them and JESUS MARY JOSEPH I am glad I did... I was craving for more and I wasn't even done eating yet! This ceviche is cooked and not raw but the flavor of the sauce was excellent... Then the tostada must have had some crack in it, because THE SHELL was my favorite part.. it had this flavor, robust and similar to the beefy taste of a BBQ Pringle.. lol I know I know.. it doesn't make sense but the Tostada Shell had some flavor that I JUST LOVED... so crispy, even with the ceviche sauce sitting on it for at least 5-8 minutes... and remained crispy up until the last bite! read more

Horrible food poisoning! The meat was burned, you are literally eating black chicken or beef because it was held for so long that it became like coal! It was the worst Valentine's day for me and my friend! We woke up in the morning with stomach problems and vomiting and pale face and green face! It took us literally 2 days to come back to our normal lives. We got food poisoning from this place and it was just a nightmare. This was the only food throughout the day we ate the same and i know 1000% it was from here because both of us had same symptoms! Because of this we were only on gatorade, water and gatorade for 2 days we couldn't eat anytging and forced to drink something so we can get over this poisoning!!!

Long ago I came here once and I remembered that I really liked the foods here. However, in between I've been exploring other Mexican places and I guess my palate has been spoiled with better tacos and Mexican foods elsewhere. The regular entrees here are only okay. The portions are not that big compared to other places I've been to. The tacos here are okay and only some of them come with guac. The place always have a lot of people. Plus, their interior is pretty big with a back room for private events. However, for my love of tacos, I probably will go elsewhere. read more

I have to agree with other Yelpers on some important points. Service: Really slow! Terribly slow. I tried to consider the fact that it was Cinco De Mayo and the restaurant was pretty big, but it's not an excuse because it wasn't like they were short on staff. We had to ask multiple times for the check and waited a really long time. Staff were running around and it was a bit hectic. Food: Between 2 people we ordered 9 tacos (1 large because lengua only came in large), regular nachos and 1 tamale. We had a Corona and Strawberry margarita (only flavor available that night). I was so disappointed when the nachos came... They were the saddest nachos I've ever seen in my 21 years alive. Roughly 10 pieces of chips with cheese unevenly spread, sloppy lettuce and guac in the middle... Like I said, it was really sad. But.. it tasted kinda good. Haha. Moving onto the tacos, they were so good! Flavor was definitely there. Our recommendations: get lengua (super tender) and al pastor but you can skip the roast pork becausae its lacking flavor and is very dry read more

Tacos Matamoros - Huge seafood soup - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

What we were originally looking for was the non-existent Taco Bell that used to be in Sunset Park.. but we were foolish to think of even eating Mexican fast food in what seemed to be the ultimate neighborhood for real, authentic Mexican food. We walked through the door and appeared to be the only non-Mexican customers in the restaurant. When we walked through the doors of Tacos Matamoros, we were approached by a hostess who greeted us in Spanish and then waitressed by a waitress who only understood our orders if we did the finger-pointing-menu technique. We ordered the carne asada and enchilada taco (both grande), a tostada de ceviche and a huge platter of pork chops with smoothies to drink and we were still craving for more!! The pork was extremely moist and it fell off the bone with great ease. The red sauce in which the pork was drenched in was absolutely finger licking delish, especially with the perfectly cooked rice and beans. The tacos we ordered were awesome, except i wish I had asked for limes and green/hot sauce to go with. The tostada de ceviche was on the eh side, if it were up to me, I would've opted for the one topped with meat. All in all, it was a tasty adventure for a beautiful Tuesday afternoon. I wouldn't mind driving the distance again to taste some of the other items on their menu. As the other reviewers have mentioned, many of the other customers in the restaurant seemed to really know what they were ordering. I saw a lot of people beasting on enormous portions of food -- the one burrito I saw looked to be as big as the size of my calf! read more
