This was a great place. The location now appears to be building out another unpermitted cannabis shop.

BEST BREAKFAST BURRITO OF MY LIFE. Vibes are incredible in here, playing Karol G, Camilo, bad bunny. Coffee was good. My friend got a smoothie and empanadas and both did not disappoint.

If you're a fan of tortas, you gotta try this place. Some of the best Mexican food in Bedstuy. Also super friendly employees. I accidentally threw out my plate after dining in because I forgot it was on the trey. I told them and they were super understanding and immediately told me not to worry about it

I've recommended this place to a few folks. It's the best place for a burrito in the neighborhood (and I love all the other spots). I usually get the shrimp burrito. It's a little expensive for what it is, doesn't come with chips and salsa like some other places and still costs about $18. I have purchased chips and salsa before but they don't make it in a normal "side" size-- you have to spend more and get a large container of each. The salsa verde is just spicy enough to add some nice kick but they don't let you get a side order of that with chips! Overall, still a great spot. Quick service, clean and ample seating inside.

Having moved from California to New York, I'm so glad this place is within walking distance! The Mexican style tacos and horchata were tasty - I got shrimp, Al pastor, and chicken tinga - each one was good in its own unique way. I was particularly impressed by the flavor of the Al pastor! It's counter service, but the cashier was friendly and helpful and the environment felt unfussy and inviting. It's my new go-to burrito spot!

After a lovely walk through Crown Heights on a sunny Fall day, I decided to look for the amazing empanadas that a friend bought for me a month or so ago. I ordered three flavors. I'm dairy free so I got the beef w. potatoes, spinach w. potatoes and the butternut squash. They have so many dairy free options! I started with the beef which was really flavorful, it tasted like it had a tomato base. There wasn't that much ground beef but I didn't mind. Second I had the butternut squash which had kale and cranberry, it's such a unique combination. The empanada was the right amount of sweet and I really enjoyed the kale. After the first two I was pretty full but, I continued to stuff my face. The spinach also had a tomato base more than the beef. It was pretty good. The restaurant itself had a mom and pop vibe and a pretty large menu. I will 100% return to try other menu items.

Really solid option for Mexican food if you love having a ton of options. I only ordered a torta but I'd wager a pretty penny that their enchiladas, breakfast platters, empanadas, burritos, tacos, and quesadillas are on the mark as well. The reason why I'm so confident their other food is excellent is because I waited for 15 minutes for my sandwich and in that time, a steady stream of customers came in and out. Now, there is no shortage of food options here on this bustling street so there must be something that makes this small shop stand out. My torta was generously sized and delicious. The fluffy rolls were stuffed with a savory chorizo/mozzarella mix layered with lettuce, tomatoes, avocado slices, and refried beans. It had all the makings of a satisfying lunch that would ensure satiety but not overindulgence. Be warned that the wait for your order will be 15 mins+ because of the two man show struggling to keep up with all the orders. Also, pass on the iced coffee, which cost around $4 and was definitely not roastery quality.

Honestly the cowboy breakfast burrito makes my soul feel whole again. Get it. Get extra green sauce. This is my second day in a row that I've gotten it & it's amazing.
