William Nelligan: Go here. Get the Colony (sauce, peppers, pepperoni, and honey) and the PXG (tomatillo sauce and 'nduja sausage). Give Emily a hug. Don't talk to me until you do.
Brian Pennington: So into their green pizzas. How did it take so long for the world to think of tomatillo sauce on a pizza?
Fred Camino: Really great pizza, I looked the vodka and the maple syrup. Service is great too.

Cristina F-M: the spicy pork tacos are my favorite, followed by chiles rellenos. go salsa verde over red salsa. the coca cola they sell is the legit sugary kind. fruit and veg sold here is the best in the hood.
Tim Vetter: Weird food club score: Get a quesadilla con huitlacoche aka Mexican truffle aka corn smut, not easy to find in NYC. $4. http://www.brooklyntheborough.com/2010/08/the-dish-uncovering-huitlacoche/
Time Out New York: Try the flor de calabaza quesadilla. Fresh masa is griddled, then topped with mounds of sautéed squash blossoms, cotija cheese, crema and lettuce. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more.

Angie: Queso fundido app is to die for as are the enchiladas suizas which were not too spicy and super creamy. Can't wait to come back for brunch!
Vanessa V.: Do yourself a favor and go to Fonda for brunch. Holy guacamole. Try the rancheros divorciados and ask them to scramble your eggs. And don't forget to ask for extra tortillas for your beans and guac!
Ingrid Stenquist: Get the braised brisket, carne Asada or pork adobo. Everything is amazing. Drinks strooooong! Tres leche divine.
