Mike McVicar: The smoke beef taco is a must have BUT the fish taco and carnitas stand on their own. Best tacos in the area for sure. Don't be shy with the sauces and toppings.
michael wells: Duck carnitas, pork belly tacos, chorizo and octopus tacos. Very cool spot!!!!
Emily Wilson: A great spot for tacos and drinks. All of the tacos are pretty delicious but the duck carnitas stand out. Be sure to grab some hot sauces and marinated onions and use a combo to your liking.

Gregory Fisher: Sleeper pick: Ramps Escabeche!! + Great space, service, and cocktails/mocktails! Preferred pork cheeks carnitas to al pastor chicken tacos & preferred the Caesar to tlayuda oxomoco (“Mexican pizza”).
Brandon Smith: Everything I had delicious but I think the pork cheek carnitas were probably the dish I walked away thinking about the most
Noah Weiss: Great vibes, even better upscale Mexican food. Loved the tuna tostada, uni churros, tlayuda, and pork cheek carnitas. Inventive cocktails too. A bit pricey, but worth it.

Mike Podwal: Decor, attitude, commitment to authenticity, and food freshness: 8/10. Flavor: 4/10. I had the Rajas and Carnitas tacos, and was shocked. Great tequila menu, though.

Jeremy Fisher: Goat consomme, Torta Albanil, nachos, chilaquiles. Best meats are cecina, chorizo, al pastor, carnitas and barbacoa on the weekends
Michael Gillman: Great carnitas!
Michael Rodriguez: The carnitas. Fried pork served only on the weekends. Reminds me of what my family use to make. And get the orchata. Trust me. You won't regret it.

Ariel Davis: Carnitas tacos are sublime! Portions are pretty small so you'll definitely want to order a few. Chiles rellenos and scallop dish (ceviche style) were also fantastic and incredibly flavorful.
Ariel Davis: Yum! Carnitas tacos are so tasty!
Barry Wacksman: Great! Guacamole, fish tacos, carnitas tacos all terrific. The salsas that come with the tacos are delicious, especially the spicy one.

Jerry Wang: Chorizo Queso, Aguachile, Fish and Carnitas Tacos are all delicious. Carnitas tacos have some yummy bits of chicharonnes.
Setareh Saidi: We tried guacamole, queso fundido, tacos de pescado (2 for 14$), carnitas de puerco, and polo en mole (25$) and everything was delicious but let the $ rating fool you, it's somewhat expensive
AmateurConcierge: The chartreuse cocktail is great. Meh on the carnitas

margaret tung: carrots, esquites, fundido, carnitas, drunken shrimp, corn flan, lamb meatballs, and churros are must orders!
Kate Sinnott: Delicious and very creative food with a cool yet comfortable ambiance. The "rice and beans" and carnitas were incredible, as was the spicy shrimp "gorditas" which had a wonderful Japanese flair. Yum!
Chelsea Balkan: #DubiDO #FabuLIST 5 plates for two was perfect. Get spicy shrimp tostada, roasted burrata, fried brussel sprouts, carnitas, and pork belly sliders. One of my all time fav meals!

Bill Pearis: Value-wise, the best tacos in Williamsburg. Carnitas, carne enchilada, barbacoa. Also the carne enchilada torta is a $6 flavor/gut bomb deal.
Robert Sg: Carnitas ;)
Jökull Sólberg Auðunsson: Not just the best taco truck but the best taco in Brooklyn. Carnitas are cubed slow roast and fatty pork, fried for crispness.

Nicholas Doyle: Carnitas tacos are quite flavorful. The saudero, however, is dry and not very interesting.
Jonathan Gottfried: This place seems to have renamed to Taqueria el Mezcal. Either way, the Carnitas are amazing!
Marianna Fierro: The carnitas is 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
