Taqueria Sofia Brooklyn Reviews
Hands down our favorite spot in bushwick. Seriously good authentic Mexican food. We love it, feels like we are right back in DF, Mexico City. The staff is always friendly, the food is always spot on and the al pastor tacos with their homemade avocado salsa is insanely delicious. Gracias por todo taqueria Sofía. 🔥 🌮
This are the best nachos I have ever eaten in my life. Order the nachos al pastor and you wont regret it, trust. Also, they’re huge so you could easily share them with another person and both of you would be satisfied. Also the people working there were super nice so I really recommend. Just keep in mins the place is tiny so it can get crowded easily.
the birria burritos are SOOO good! the best i’ve had in new york.
Birria quesadilla and chorizo tacos. Tortas and Cemitas are also great here. Great lil neighborhood spot.
I had my first Picitas and Suadero tacos here and both were bloody brilliant! Thanks

Amazing food, great service. Had the bistec tacos and they were unreal
I ate here today. Had huevos rancheros with rice and beans with Horchata. It was soooo good. I got to meet Sofia and I liked how authentic it felt. They also make the tortillas by hand. It's not a big restaurant. Seems more for takeout unless you eat outside. Will be back!
The Birria burrito is soooooo good!!
They are good, clean fast and good quality, authentic Mexican food worth every penny, that’s why I’m giving the five star review
I ordered delivery and i gotta say packing was really neat and clean. They put each taco in their own paper plate and then in a box which is really nice cuz tacos sometimes scatter all over wen u get them delivered. Their portions are bigger for tacos (they put alot of meat inside) which is also great. I got bistec, al pastor, carnitas and all of them were freaking delicious. On side note: they gave me lemons instead of limes ....i prefer limes but not a big deal. I've seen pics on their reviews with limes so maybe it was just that day. Their Red and green salsa could be better. I didn't really like them. But tacos are so good that that makes up for it. If they improve their salsas then this will be the only place i order tacos from. Looking forward to going in person and trying other meals
Grabbed a late night tostada (Al pastor), which might have been the best tostada I’ve ever had. Great seasoning on the meat, crunchiness of the fried tortilla, and a nice juicy tomato to top. Itching to go again!
My palette for Mexican cuisine may not be as refined as many in the neighborhood, but I've never encountered a bad item on the menu at Sofia's. Their carnitas and pescado are consistently good, and I've implored them more than once to bottle and sell their salsa verde (it's *that* good). Contrary to other reviewers, the owner and her children have only ever been polite with me—hell, they've even thrown in free items many times! Maybe the one-star reviews complaining about her alleged curtness are just bad tippers?
They have the best corn tortillas for their tacos. I've had the chicken, steak, and chorizo tacos. Chicken and chorizo are both fantastic. Steak is alright. The green salsa is really tasty. It's nice to sit outside on a lazy sunny afternoon, have a few tacos and a Jarritos, and then go about my day.
Not much seating, but a great place for some good food!

Massive sandwiches for a reasonable price. Food was great I would definitely come back.
Very unsuspecting but, some of the best Mexican food in New York City. Their Al Pastor is fantastic.
Usually I order the same foods, but love the handmade tortillas which is very rare from a Mexican restaurant

This was an acquired taste. I personally could not finish any of it. I threw everything out. My taste buds felt hoodwinked. I tried adding hot sauce to help me eat it. The hot sauce did not help.

I wish I could not give a stat at all. The older lady who picks up the phone has an attitude all the time like she doesn’t want to be there anymore. I ordered food and the meat was old. The sauces they sent smelled so bad and were old. I called the lady to inform her not to give them out , out of courtesy and she had an attitude. Don’t come here to eat if you want to get food poisoning. I have been ordering here for such long time and they really have not been giving out the produce fresh like it should be. This is a violation and they should be shut down because people can get really sick from this. I currently don’t feel well eating their food, don’t bother on ordering from here. What a disappointment.
I kept having to spit out pieces of beef over and over because it had too much hard gristle to actually chew through it (this was with their steak nachos and steak burrito). Flavor-wise, things were just super bland (the meat, the rice, etc). This might have been helped with the salsa, except they gave only one container for both food items (aka not enough salsa to actually put a little on everything). The size of the nachos was almost decent-ish for the price, but that doesn't matter when neither dish tasted great to begin with. Definitely not ordering from here again.
