Taqueria Cecilio Brooklyn Reviews
As a Texan who eats amazing Mexican style tacos on a regular basis back in Texas, these tacos were absolutely delicious and authentic. Double corn tortilla with either green or red salsa. I had a beef tongue, steamed goat, Al Pastor, beef and chicken taco 🌮! So good and as compatible to any amazing tacos I regularly eat in Texas. Highly recommend.
Authentic, delicious Mexican food. I got the el pastor burrito with side of beans and rice. This food comes out hot, not warm like. Chipotle burrito. It’s packed with flavor and has a side of sour cream plus green and red hot sauce. Filling, well priced and tasty. They also accept apple and Google pay.
Tacos here are legit! Blows my mind they don’t constantly have a huge line. The red Mexican chorizo is fried and crispy. Also love the Al Pastor, Carne Asada and Lengua. Birria Tacos are also outstanding.
Tacos were really good! Meat was really well made. Had an al pastor and a chorizo, would recommend both!

super fast! well-priced and yummy tacos and a really convenient location. excited to try the rest of their menu! their tacos are so reliable and i love picking up tacos after work :)
Delicious tacos, friendly people. I love their tripas, barbacoa and suadero especially. Their quesabirrira quesadilla is also fantastic, they make it with real Oxacan cheese.
Great barbacoa and al pastor. All tacos good though, probably my favorite in New York.
10/10! Tacos are amazing, especially the lengua. Very friendly service as well - definitely recommend
Perfect for quick lunch or after work dinner. Bistec a la Mexicana was great tasted fresh and very delicious.
It's delicious! Love their tortas, but everything else is decent too
Love these guys! Try the nachos, tortas, and tlacoyos. Also chips with pico de gallo or guacamole.
Don't get me wrong, I love me some Caesar's Empanadas, but this is another level.
one of the very best food trucks on the entire east coast. just amazing, Mexican food like you won't find anywhere else in nyc. all the meats are consistently fresh, and the veggie tacos are so flavorful too. have ordered a ton from here over the years and haven't had anything less than a spectacular meal every time.

I’ve only gotten their tacos and now stick with the Pastor ones which are far juicier than the Carnitas, Steak and Barbacoa ones. It’s also cheaper if you pay cash! What I also don’t like is that the hours are wrong. They’ve never been here on Fridays… Actualice las horas indicadas :’)
Had a chorizo burrito and it was really good and well priced at $12. My only complaint is they cut it in half which made it harder to eat and it was a little heavy on veggies and low on rice+beans+meats for my liking. Definitely would come back here again if I'm in the area but I wouldn't go out of my way.

Just ok, glad to have this here right outside Barclays

If I'm leaving a review its a complete miss by the business. This was my first time stopping by and it was almost inedible. Overcooked filling to the point that the meat was hard for both the birria (where was the consome? tortilla wasn't fried either) and the barbacoa. Its possible I caught them on a bad day but this was a (taco) Tuesday during dinner rush. Too many alternatives in the area to mess up like this.
I don’t know what everyone else ate, but the beef in the beef tacos did not taste fresh.

I placed an online order and this place was not open/did not say where they were or if they moved. I need to get my money back. Hours are not accurate.
Super stale and bland tacos. $5 each is outrageous. I got tripe and lengua tacos. The tripe taco wasn’t even tripe, it was intestine, which would normally be fine but it was just prepared terribly
