- Is it worth going out of your way for?
- Yes, for its Michelin-starred take on wood-fired Mexican cuisine at a notably lower price than comparable starred restaurants in Manhattan. It's a definitive case for serious regional Mexican cooking in Brooklyn.
- Who is it for?
- For date nights, celebratory meals, or anyone seeking elevated neighborhood dining with energy. It suits groups in the lively room and appeals to diners who prioritize technical precision in a casual fine-dining format.
- What should you order?
- Lean into the signatures: lamb barbacoa tacos, pollo a las brazas (brined, fried, and smoked whole chicken), tuna tostada, and guacamole. The kitchen's plant-forward sourcing makes vegetable preparations, like the chanterelle mushroom taco, also worth sampling.
- How do you get a table?
- Book directly via the restaurant. The venue also accepts walk-ins, but reservations are recommended given the packed, lively room.
- Anything to know before you go?
- The meal follows a Mexican regional structure, not a linear European tasting menu. Expect a meal paced by the wood-fire kitchen and your appetite for trying multiple shared plates. It's in residential Greenpoint, so it feels like a neighborhood destination.
