Frequently asked questions about Vamos al Tequila
Vamos al Tequila Brooklyn Reviews
I don’t know why people are sleeping on this place. This deserves way more than a 4.2 on Google reviews. It has 5 star on Seamless. I crave their Caldo de Pollo soup all the time. It’s real food. The huevos rancheros are so good. Everything I’ve tried there is good.
We are visiting from Australia and this was where we chose to dine before New Year’s Eve. The food was exceptional and the service was incredibly friendly.
Love Vamos !! It’s my favorite lunch spot in the neighborhood by far, and amazing soups to get you through all seasons. My favorite items that really separate Vamos Al Tequila from other spots are the variety of homemade comforting dishes like the plantain enchiladas if you don’t want meat, or the enchilada lunch special where you can get spinach enchiladas, also the chicken and plantain lunch special meal, or the shrimp plate with rice and beans and spinach… the chicken mole enchiladas….. I could go on and on! Haha My husband loves the burritos and our kids love their rice and beans, but really the way the meals feel like comfort family dishes is something you just can’t find everywhere these days. Highly, highly recommend!!
Absolutely love their food! I usually go for the Burrito Azul, the ground beef is seasoned to perfection, with a side of the spicy cilantro sauce. Portion sizes are pretty large - always end up taking leftovers to go. Nacho grande is also pretty solid. Service is fast and friendly, A+!
Delicious food, fantastic happy hour and great service. What else could you want? We enjoyed a paloma & marg during happy hour, nothing to write home about but they were $9! For mains we ordered: > Salted beef tacos. These were incredible, we were worried they would be super salty but they weren’t. They were just perfect and the meat was very tender with delicious pico de Gallo on the side > Cecina tacos: well cooked and very flavoursome Enjoy!!
One of Greenpoint's best kept food secrets, the Tacos Bandera! GP insiders have been enjoying this for a while and more people should be basking in this food delight. It's only on the special menu for Friday nights, but they've made it pretty much every night of the week upon request. While this is my favorite dish, I genuinely love every dish I've had here. Some items are quite spicy, which I prefer, but caution to those that don't spicy does mean spicy here. Very friendly staff and table side space heaters while indoor dining moratorium is in effect.
We ordered the burrito and enchiladas from the lunch special. The enchiladas, which had pork and green sauce, were well-cooked and flavorful. However, the steak burrito was a bit dry, and the meat was tough, though the guac and salsa on the side were tasty. It’s a cute spot, and the music adds a fun vibe.
I had an absolutely fantastic Cuban sandwich (Torta Cubana), while my girlfriend got the fajitas. Her steak was overcooked, so it was a bit hard and dry. We've only been there once, so I can't tell you if this is normal or a one-time occurrence. The limemade (lemonade, but made from limes) was excellent. Certain meals come with beer or wine, included. Staff was attentive and service was quick. Recommend it if you're in the neighborhood!
Had a very good brunch here on a pleasant Saturday afternoon. I got a fabulous beans, rice, kale, spicy scrambled egg dish. Service was just fine. I would definitely revisit this place! Update: Revisted recently, 6/22, and had a very good veggie burrito but the woman taking my order (short, a little older) ignored me over several other customers who came in after, was barely civil, could not comment or recommend anything (said she hadn’t tried any of my choices), and I felt like she didn’t want me there. Probably won’t go back.
Absolutely terrible service. The woman who took my order was very unfriendly and unwelcoming and acted as if my presence was an inconvenience. The food was just okay but not worth the price. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.
DONT GO TO THIS PLACE! The waitress at Vamos al Tequila was unbelievably rude — I didn’t even stay to order. The attitude was disgusting from the moment I walked in. I’ll never go back, and I don’t recommend this place to anyone.
What terrible service!!!!! Please don't come here I am an Hispanic male and I attempted to get a table for a large group and was told it wasn't possible. And when a large white group came In they were allowed to make any table combination they wanted without protest. I was profiled because of my skin color and not allowed to enjoy my evening. all we wanted was to sit together like this lathe white group and we're denied. This establishment is very unfair.
