Walking by this Mexican grocery, you would never think they have a bakery and a Taco stand in the back! I invite you to go inside and smell the freshly oven baked pastrys and sweet bread coming out every afternoon ! Not to mention the the good food they have ! Tacos, burritos, tortas etc. All made with the fresh meat that the store in self cuts everyday for its deli part of the place. Where you can even buy the meat yourself and make your own at home tacos ! Not before leaving without a peice of tres leches cake that they bake themselves as well . They have a variety of Mexican products for sell, yes even PIÑATAS! AMAZINGPLACE! Amazing FOOD! :)

We stopped in for tacos before heading to Brighton Beach, after having seen Sietsema’s recommendation on Eater NY( ). It’s literally a few tall stools in the back of a Mexican bodega; you can see the back-of-house guys prepping the next day’s meat in front of you. We all ordered tacos, which cap out at $ 3 and come with braised spring onions and jalapenos on the side for garnish. The carnitas felt fatty and not cooked long enough, but the barbacoa was nice and moist. The best was actually the beef tongue, which was cooked crispy but still tender inside. If you’re visiting Brighton Beach and don’t mind walking five minutes north, you won’t be disappointed.

This place is a hole in the wall, inside a hole in the wall. Whoa, inception. No, but it’s really a Mexican grocery store that has a small kitchen in the back area complete with bar stool seating. I came here once just to purchase a beverage, and stumbled upon the food area by chance. So glad I did, because they cook up some really delicious food. I consistently order the steak torta, which is a very filling $ 6 treat that is complete with a generous amount of avocado and well seasoned small chunks of steak. Have it with out with jalapenos, depending on your preference. The chef will usually have the courtesy to ask you. As I have not been in the area for months, I’m really starting to miss this place. I’ll definitely stop by on my next trip to the Brighton Beach area. Come in and explore their options!

Cool little lunch counter in the back of a nondescript grocery store. So far I’ve tried a huge burrito and a torta, both very tasty. I’ll try one of the platters next time. Never been to Mexico but this seems authentic enough; note their website is in Spanish only. The place reminds me of the taquerias in San Francisco. They make their own tortillas here. Though I appreciate that a place like this would have seating at all, it’s all flat stools so you can’t do anything with your jacket. Takeout would be preferable but there’s nowhere to eat outdoors around there except all the way over on the boardwalk.
