Delicious Birria

Delicious

Went in on Saturday for dinner. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. We ordered enchiladas, a burrito, and birria tacos to share between 2 people. All of which were delicious! The portions are pretty big, so we weren’t able to finish all that, but we’re happy to take it home and enjoy later. Would love to come back some time and try more of their menu, but I’ll definitely be ordering the burrito again any time I come in. That was the stand out dish in my opinion.

Very good food. Better than most Mexican restaurants in NYC. We got the enchiladas with mole, burrito and birria tacos.

Amazing! Reminds me of some of the best food I tried in CDMX. We loved sharing the enchiladas con pollo y torta con chorizo. Muchos gracias para todos! Increible comida y servicio!

Wow me quedé satisfecho con el tamaño de la torta y aparte fue muy delicioso, todos muy amables todos los trabajadores. Precios muy accesibles.!

Las personas muy amables el pozole está delicioso 😋 volveré por más gracias 🙏

Amazing, best Mexican I’ve had in a long time. Everything done well

I ordered the beef quesadilla, it was delicious. Employees are very welcoming and helpful.

Great food, good prices. Had a delicious lunch of shrimp tacos and pupusas here.

So friendly and food so good.

Food was fantastic. Highly recommend!!

Amazing food!

Great food and great service Fresh food and very clean Friendly staff

Delicious food. Everything is very satisfying and spoiling. The service is great. Prices are good!!

Delicious authentic Mexican food. Chilaquiles are delicious and not too spicy.

Got a Burrito Mexicana and it was fantastic!! Plenty of good Mexican food in the area but this was right up there with any of them. Will for sure go back.

Hidden gem. Best birria tacos in NYC. Lovely people. Amazing salsa. Will be coming back.

Had an unbelievable birria taco and home made chips here. The guac and salsa taste like they were just made. Will certainly be back.

Came here with some family and didn’t think much of it before coming. But it was really good The juices are terrific, fresh and flavoursome. You can choose fruits- we did apple, pineapple, orange, carrot and ginger and it was excellent. We had chilaquiles, quesadillas, birria tacos, regular tacos, and enchiladas, with a good variety of proteins. All dishes came with beans and rice. Everything was delicious, fresh and easy to share. The sauces on top are great and made in house. It was also easy to hear each other talk. Ultimately I had an excellent dining experience here. I would highly recommend this place to anyone nearby and look forward to returning here with my family and friends when I am next in New York.

El Mexicano Restaurant and Cafe truly deserves a 5.0 perfect score rating. The staff are fantastic and helped explain all the meals. We chose several meals to share and really enjoyed the authentic Mexican flavours.

Wow, I loved this place! It has delicious food: they definitely use fresh ingredients. The portions were generous, and the service was excellent. We were surprised to find a really large seating area hidden from the main view. We spent $20 and feasted like kings. Overall, we really enjoyed this place, Thank you!

We ordered the chicken enchiladas with mole sauce and shrimp tacos and we are stuffed because it was so phenomenal!!!! We finished every last bite. The service was also great — super fast, very friendly staff. This was a gem and would travel just for this food

Great place! I met with Tostadas for the first time and now its my favorite! 🤍🤍

They have the best Burrito bowl in Brooklyn! I’ve ordered so many times and it’s always the best! Other foods are also delicious!

Delicious food! I recommend the huarache, gordita and tostadas, these especially are insane! Also, their service is the best! This is my go-to now and surpassed the one in Carroll Gardens.

The best Mexican food I've had maybe ever. Very reasonably priced, the tostadas are particularly stunning and the burrito is unmatched. The staff is also very nice and the service is good. It's not fast, but that's probably because everything is made very fresh!

The real deal, no frills. I will admit when we first saw this spot arrive, we judged if it could beat the other 5 spots in the area. To my surprise, the other reviews are on point. I had the birria tacos and they were so tasty. *Oily but comes with the territory. I will definitely be back and try some other dishes too. A nice addition to the neighborhood and manages to stand out with quality with the competing near by Mexican restaurants.

super casual, staff seem to genuinely like their jobs. house-made chips!!! as a person who is sensitive to food quality: tasty guac, margaritas and flatuas… and an “A grade” :)

This place has excellent food at a great price. Staff are always friendly and the quesadilla (I’ve had chicken and veggie) is TOO good. Great spot if you’re in the neighborhood!

This place is my favorite for Mexican food in the neighborhood. Everything I’ve had is beyond delicious. Ordering out or dining in, this place is fantastic. Decor is bare bones but who cares when they have the best birria tacos I’ve ever had?

If you’re looking for delicious and authentic food this is the place. All the food is freshly made with quality ingredients and you can tell by the taste! Service is very friendly and fast. I highly recommend the chilaquiles and the guacamole. Also all their aguas frescas are great

Amazing shrimp burritos and burrito bowls!!! My husband loves the cemita here. Service is quick and the guys behind the counter are always polite. The prices are also very reasonable. Would recommend again and again ❤️.

We used to order from their first location in Ave U when we lived in the area. It recently opened in Park slope area. Genuine Mexican food, service is very attentive. We go eat here every other Sunday. If you crave Mexican food this is definitely the right place.

One of the best mexican restaurants I’ve ever been to in the city — don’t be fooled by the modest appearance! One of the best carnitas tortas you will ever have, guaranteed

The food is fantastic, special shout out to the Enchiladas de Mole. Hard to stand out given the other good Mexican restaurants in the neighborhood, but El Mexicano has done it.

This place is LEGIT! There are several Mexican places on the same avenue but this one by far is the best, is authentic and DELICIOUS! The service is amazing as well. I am coming back for the burrito, and will order again the enchiladas. 10/10. Try it, you will not regret it.

Delicious food. A surprisingly solid margarita as well! The staff is so friendly! Will definitely be coming back.

Muy buena la atención súper atentos y buena comida mexicana auténtica

We came in for a Sunday evening bite to eat. No other customers, our server was quick and attentive. Margarita and Pacifico beers with lime were great, we had tacos and quesadillas which were delicious! Tortilla chips and guacamole was also spot on, with three different hot sauces. Prices were reasonable. Clean floors, tables, and restrooms.
