Overall rating: 4.89 Omg, like wow! I wasn’t sure what to expect with the average 4.3 rating but something is wrong with people. The margaritas at 10!! Regular price. Not happy hour. I know I know, “but Olivia it’s bushwick”. That means absolutely nothing. There is a bar right nearby where a cocktail is 17. My favorite was a blueberry margarita. Unfortunately I couldn’t capture the picture in time. I had to knock down a few points because the bathroom experience was Weird. And I wish it was a bit more spacious. For the tacos, you can only get two of the same kind. I just swapped one with my friend. I got the chorizo and I think she got chicken something. I really enjoyed both. But if I had to choose, I liked the chorizo more. 1. Potato and Chorizo 2. Chorizo 3. Chicken 4. Birreria Also the Guac was sooooo good. Omg! I absolutely loved it. I will be back immediately when I’m in the area.

The food here is amazing. First come first serve on the tables, so if you're lucky to grab one, you will not be disappointed! Great margaritas too and so many flavors!

Fun place with a great atmosphere. Candy on the margaritas was a great touch. Frozen margs a tiny bit small for what they are, but tasty. Food was good but overpriced. Better to get a quick snack and then eat somewhere else.

Margaritas are PERFECTION! We went there for the margaritas and they did not disappoint. Food is good too, but the drinks are superb. We had: tamarind, coconut, cucumber, and coconut lychee. We ate potato with chorizo tacos and carnitas tacos. It was January, so cold, you know. The only thing that was annoying was that they kept alternating between heat and air conditioning, so either you were getting blasted with hot air or you got a breeze of cold air. I just think they should set the thermostat to auto, so it stays pretty much the same temp. The decor is cute, music is not too loud, so you can hear each other, and the people who work there are very nice.

This bar is lit . Perfect for all - for a date or with a group of friends - it will always be the right place. I looooove the food, the drinks and the vibe. I ordered birria tacos , they were DELICIOUS!!! And got the hot apple cider with tequila - I got like 5 of them

Great musical atmosphere and the food/drinks were served quickly. You can choose from 21 Margarita flavors & even combine two (frozen or on the rocks). I had Mango & Passion fruit for my first round, and pomegranate & lime as my second. Little candy is included inside the drinks, which makes them even tastier. I ordered the chicken quesadilla & it was delicious! My friend ordered a blueberry & coconut margarita. She said the coconut was better alone & she got the chorizo taco. She said it was delicious as well. I'm not sure if you can take the drinks to go but this area is really busy & the energy & music is very lively.

Fancy a margarita? They have 21 flavours on the menu! Great range of delicious tacos and 2 off on Tuesdays. It was really busy but that only added to cool vibe with pop punk tunes playing in the background. A great find in Brooklyn with no tourists.
