I grew up in Manhattan but have since lived in both Mesa, Arizona and Los Angeles. While out west I began to learn about and appreciate Mexican cuisine. It really a cuisine. This wee spot, barely noticeable when walking past, hadexcellent Posolle/Pozzole, a fragrant white hominy and pork soup. Chile rellanos and flautas were also top notch. The salsa and tortillas were fresh. Service was heartfelt and willing. read more

Food was hit and miss: - great salsa that came with chips... spicy and flavorful. - decent carnitas - lousy, boring beans - even worse rice coupled with over-boiled veggies. - tortillas seemed store-bought I was hoping for more since the place is kitchy-fun. However once my food came, I never saw my server again. I had run out of sauce, drink, napkins and - when I got up to pay - wasn't asked about my food or even really engaged. There are better places in Sunset Park. read more

See all

This place is great it's authentic as it's gonna get . I honestly feel that they are better then Matamoros read more

Excessive Mexican-themed items adorn the walls of this quaint little joint. Its jukebox is strictly Spanish language artists, and their staff is very friendly and always smiling. The food here is fantastic. The stuffed poblano pepper is incredibly good for the price, with the skirt steak really holding up well with the great rice and refried beans and pork skin. Oh, and the burritos, light yet huge, they don't have a lot of depth but are freshly made with very good, a little salty guacamole. The quesidillas are terrific. Its just solid food, better than a lot of places in the city, and as with my review of El Buen Gusto, these places are all over the place on 4th, 5th, 6th avenue. read more

Food was pretty good. Our table tried the Enchilada Burrito, Mulita with steak, and cemitas with carnitas. Ordered tap water but was informed there was some problem with the water so they brought us bottled and water and charged us without even asking if that was cool. Food took over 15mins to come out and we were the only people in the restaurant so that was kind of strange. Bit on the pricier side (~8bucks per dish). If you got the craving and are passing by it'll do the job but if you want a better bargain you can find one within a few blocks in any direction. read more

This is a small, low-key, authentic little Mexican restaurant. Don't expect much shazamm from their decor. It is a big room with tables and chairs. There was only one server, she greeted us quickly and took our orders. I had the enchilada, burrito, and tostadas. The food was excellent. Chicken and beef were shredded, tender, very tasty. Tostadas was fried perfectly and despite being drenched in sauce, it remained crispy. We asked for hot sauce and the waitress brought us a huge bowl of it. Service was a little bit slow as we were trying to get the check. Food 4.5/5 Service 4/5 Value 4/5 Decor 3/5, but I liked it because it kind of reminds me of a small town restaurant in Mexico. read more

The two women who wait tables are very nice, and the service is fast. The food is very good, and it won't set you back much. I admit, I don't eat in as much as I would like--I live a block away so I usually get takeout--but the extensively themed restaurant is more fun than anything. I also speak next to no Spanish, and its never a problem. Overall, this place is really great. Its fun, cheap, laid back... just enjoy it for what it is. It may not be the best food you've ever had, but it certainly is a great neighborhood haunt. read more

I've only found Tequilitas to be OK, not particularly great. The times I've been the service and food have both been decent, but not awesome. I think the prices are pretty standard. FYI for anyone vegetarian or anti-pork: the huevos rancheros here come with an unadvertised slice of ham right on there. I just pulled it off but people more serious about contamination would have a problem. I'll probably be back, but only because they're on my block. read more

My family stumbled onto Tequilitas and were happy with its authenticity and menu options. They asked for the verde salsa (hot), that's the best. Of their 3 menu choices, the tacos asada were the best they've had this side of Mexico. The chile rellenos were large and tasty but served with a liquid that wasn't quite a sauce and made them soggy. Sopa de pollo was hearty and flavorful, mexican rice was not the best (tasted warmed over). Service was slow but friendly. They will definitely go back for the tacos and said that your visit isn't complete without the horchata! And the price is right--good food cheap. read more

I used to like this place I used to look forward to there posoles , a soup that comes with a tostada. The tostada is nothing out of the ordinary I literally could make myself one at home that's a hundred times better. It's so dry and lacking flavor . The soup taste like it's been sitting there for days . I also had their chicken tacos let me tell you they put no effort in there food it was bland and looked boring an tasted horrible never again will I return and kind you I was a true customer . read more

I'm a transplanted Californian and have joined the ranks mourning the lack of good, affordable Mexican food in the city, only to discover it down at Tequilitas. It doesn't look fancy, and features the same light up displays on the back board that you'd find at a number of Mexican and Chinese places, but the food is cheap, good, and plentiful, and the service is excellent. read more

Very clean restaurant and the food was very good, but not authentic Mexican. The chicken tacos had no cilantro and white onions, only lettuce and tomato. The chicken mole was good, but not spicy. I don't mind not spicy but usually authentic Mexican food is spicy unless you ask for mild. read more

Tequilitas Restaurant - So good - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Come here quite often after a hard training session since its one of the few places on 4th avenue that accept credit cards and is close to the gym. The service is pretty good and the establishment is clean. One thing I have to say is that the nachos weren't that good, so I would stay away from that. Most of their other platters are pretty good and they have a decent selection on the menu. read more

Very tasty chicken mole enchiladas. Decor is typical for the Mexican storefront restaurants in the neighborhood

average food sub par service. Had to walk up to the counter to ask for chips and salsa. Extra star because it was so cheap.

This place is great! I would not call this Traditional Mexican Food, but it was delicious! More like Mexican Nouveou. The atmosphere is inviting and the waitstaff are very warm. I will return for sure. read more
