Kristi KellyAugust 28, 2016This place is amazing. Go here. Wait for the roof. Get the Frozen Margs. Get the guac and the shrimp fajitas. The bartender is awesome: be nice and get hooked up with a sweet tequila flight. 😊☀️🍹
Rahul GuptaMarch 31, 2018The view is great, the food is pretty good too. Start with the guacamole and chips, try one of their specialty margaritas, and relax and have an enchilada.
MJ San PabloDecember 28, 2016Everything about the short rib enchilada is so tasty! I loved the roasted ranchero sauce. Also the ambience is nice. The main restaurant is "hidden"'upstairs while downstairs is a bar.
Elvis RodricksSeptember 28, 2018Chilled out vibe out here in this corner of Brooklyn - came here on a weekday- with a view of lower manhattan. Veggie taco was great and so was their flan!
Emily KolodnerApril 28, 2015Chicken Enchiladas were perfectly flavored. Big enough portion to be shared. blood orange marg downstairs was better than the drinks upstairs. View on middle floor just as good as top floor.- Carlos ValleApril 26, 2015Pro-tip: Blood orange margarita is delicious! Served in a pint glass and only available downstairs. Get it yourself and bring it to the dinner table!
Great jukebox and a beautiful view of lower Manhattan from a rarely seen angle. Perfect on summer nights when the windows are open -- like being in a small town tucked up against the glittering city.
Josenny TorresJuly 27, 2015I had the canaries asada and it was really good. Very light and not overwhelming. Loved the mango salad and pesto cashew sauce. Portion size is little but that's fine with me :)
Danika LandersAugust 26, 2014The fish tacos were great. Cucumber margarita with a bit of spice, fantastic. View is killer. Great spot!
TomFebruary 8, 2014FEED T-REX! Very few Data East pinball machines in the city. Jurassic Park also features Wayne Knight on the playfield (how can you not love that)! And a classic Bally Star Trek.
Great locals spot with a nice selection on tap. When you've had your fill head upstairs to Alma and get a table on the rooftop for some great food and an amazing view of lower Manhattan.- Patrick KochJune 22, 2015A bit pricey but the food is amazing. Fajitas were great also dat rooftop view is amazing!
Food LoverSeptember 14, 2011Great location, amazing view! Excellent food hands down the best in authentic mexican! Don't miss the Enchiladas with the mole sauce. Superb!
Marion GrimesMay 6, 2013Have dinner on the rooftop to enjoy a great view of Manhattan and make sure to order a margarita and guacamole before anything else!
SheenaJune 22, 2016Incredible views, friendly service, ok Mexican food. Go near sunset and you won't be disappointed!
Santi AmayaApril 23, 2016The food is delicious and the VIEW is spectacular. Cocktails are not that great; go for basic cocktails, nothing fancy.
Willem Van LanckerJune 27, 2015One of the best views in the city. If there's a wait for a table on the roof ask if you can go up to the bar.
CrystalJuly 22, 2018Great food and ambience - chef is actually from Oaxaca and it shows in the food and mezcal selection.
JacLyn PagnottaAugust 2, 2017Great atmosphere and views. Service and food is great as well. Recommend going at dusk and watching the sun set.
Kelsey✨August 29, 2018Cozy bar space. Good for a casual weeknight dinner. Order the enchiladas and a pomegranate margarita
OctaneAugust 7, 2014Total hidden gem. Great place to bring someone special and have dinner and cocktails on the roof while watching the sunset.
Great Nachos, from upstairs, and friendly people! There's a ping pong tournament on Wednesdays of most weeks!
Louis BruscoFebruary 16, 2012The views that really make it special. Whether you're eating in the main dining room, or upstairs on the deck (covered and heated in the winter), you get a gorgeous eyeful of Southern Manhattan.- Carlos ValleApril 26, 2015Ask for the home made hot sauce. Comes in a Corona bottle and has a nice kick to it.
Alison GreshamOctober 26, 2015Pumpkin seed sauce Enchildas and cheesy rice. Get an entree and two sides and split. Plenty for two.
Tal AtlasSeptember 7, 2015The bar usually doesn't have a wait. Your back is to the view but still fun.
eric bornemannMay 4, 2018The rooftop views with margaritas are some of the best day drinking in Brooklyn.
David GreenbergerJuly 3, 2014Great with a big group. Play some games, drink some awesome beer. No hard drinks though.
Marianna Seyder-BedinerOctober 1, 2014Amazing margaritas. Ask to be seated on the top floor, the view is beautiful!
Jaime SchwarzMarch 30, 2013Don't bother with 2nd floor when the top has such excellent views. Watch out the cucumber margarita is spicy!
It's all about the roof, the fish tacos and whatever frozen margarita they have that night.
rosie (siman) yakobJune 12, 2011Wow. Beautiful view, great service, delicious food. Loved the tamales & Huevos Oaxaca. They're also really accommodating with large groups!
BonJune 1, 2013Gets quite crowded when featured in a same day L magazine article. Be prepared for a :60 wait on Friday nights.
M BApril 7, 2013Good mexican food! Definitely have the pulled lamb tacos for appetizer, nice rooftop view!
CASH ONLY - Decent tap beer selection. Good place to chill waiting for a roof seat at Alma or for Pok Pok
On Saturday nights it's couple central. If you are single bring a friend. Jukebox is fun.
Gary KonNovember 17, 2013The food? Not bad. The ambiance. Very good. The flan for dessert? Delicious.
Richard GrierJune 12, 2012Get there early and take your time eating. The rooftop view of th city is amazing.- rosie (siman) yakobJune 12, 2011Try the Huevos Oaxaca - Fried eggs over spicy beans and crispy tortillas, jalepeno potatoes and fried plantains :)
FaraJuly 29, 2013Sit in the covered roof top. Great city view. And the food makes it that much better
