La Superior

«Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce special orders REALLY upset us!!» Frequented La Superior for a while now and the whole crew as have the tacos have always lived up to the name until last night. BEWARE THE Gringo with the blonde hair and «hip» facial hair! My wife wanted a simple plain cheese quesadilla not on the menu of course but several close options which were suggested instead. Blondie reluctantly but obviously off put, agreed. When the order came the quesadilla was rung up as a Chorizo & Potato quesadilla with an obvious finger poked right through the center of it. The tacos I ordered were little more than scraps and a WEAK imitation to what I’ve always looked forward to La Superior for. If you want truly amazing tacos without chance of this brand of pretentious hipster treatment that has become synonymous with Williamsburg, head on out to «Cantina Royale», Bushwick’s «Tres Hermanos» and Sunset Park’s «Tacos El Bronco.» The prices are also Superior outside of this place. (note to discerning customers… Cerveceria Havemeyer is owned and operated by the same group)

4.5 stars. I’ve been coming here once in a while in the past few years and I was never disappointed. Food is simple and tasty, served on colorful plastic dishes. Street food style. Price is reasonable. The space is not very big, so depending on the time you come, there could be a wait.

First one star review I’ve ever left but I must say I feel like the staff makes you feel «unworthy» of being there. You have to wait until your entire party of two is there to sit down… so I stood by myself after a long day at work until he arrived just so I was eligible to be seated. What if it was just me that wanted to sit and have dinner? Would I not be allowed to sit down? Bc as far as I know, one person and two people take up the same amount of tables. Not one but two people can fit at a table. Extremely disappointed in their service. however the drinks are delicious. Next time I’m making a scene and throwing my tacos on the walls and throwing myself on the floor. Also just a side note I would never write a bad review unless completely necessary. I’ve been here three times and all three times I’ve been treated unkindly. I’m sorry for sitting at your table after a long hard day even though there are 3 other open tables and nobody was even waiting. My apologizes. Next time I’ll grab some random off the street to fill the other seat across the table while I wait for the true «complete party» to arrive.

#Tacos are on the small side, but they are a little higher end.
You want a #deal though? Get the #Sopa de Vendura (soup). It’s $ 6. I often get soups at hole in the wall Latino places and soups are usually like $ 10+. Maybe the bowl size isn’t as big, but for a trendy hipster place, this is a really good #deal. It’s still decent size and I don’t think I even finished it. But maybe that’s because I was really drunk. It’s really #good soup. I’ll come back just for this $ 6 soup.

Would leave zero stars if possible. Tacos cold, shrimp taco, shrimps taste frozen and then a nice long hair on the corn. Called waiter over said they wouldn’t swap the corn!!! Never going back.

A lot of food for your dollar. Honestly haven’t had a bad dish. The rajas tacos are insane and the black bean soup changed the game. Only bad thing is that they don’t have simple syrup for iced coffee at brunch… It’s a pet peeve. Also seating is a bit crowded.

literally the BEST TACOS I’ve ever had!
I would go here everyday if I could, and I’m sure there are people who do go everyday
great service as well and very affordable

Used to be great. Not as good now.

Went here yesterday evening. Good food in cramped uncomfortable seating & semi-​rushed dinning experience.
Tiny tacos @ $ 3.50 (even though their website says the tacos are $ 2.50 per…). We each had 4 tacos and split guacamole. Tacos were were fine. Guacamole was so-​so. Chips were good. 1 beer each. With tip, we each paid $ 30 ($ 60 total) — and we both left still hungry.
The portions are too small for the prices. We split a burger later that night.
I want to like this place but the portions are too small to frequent again. Not worth it.

Really rude and childish wait staff — TWO staff members told me off for helping myself to water that looked like it was at a self-​serve water area. I apologised and said it was an honest mistake (I apologised for having offended anyone). They even took the water off the table (huffing and puffing) and brought it back again with further scowling! So bizarre and petty. The food was ok, but the sulky staff really left a bad taste in my mouth and I won’t be going back again.

I really enjoyed my meal here! The food was fresh and well-​seasoned, and the service was great.

They have a variety of quality tequilas here. We just went for drinks and everything was great! I tried the Paloma and loved it! It was my first time having quality tequila and it went down so smooth!

Definitely a home style meal place with great cheap drinks.
Since I’m not as familiar with this type of food, I ended up getting a spicy dish that was cold and horrible. I ordered another and the chicken was kind of dry, but by then I had drinks so I didn’t care as much.
Considering the price, I didn’t really care, and I do like the family small restaurant vibe, but it would have been nice to have had a dish suggested based on spicyness.
Also, I’m not sure if it’s because of the time I went, but I felt super rushed. I did go at dinner time and it’s a small place so I imagine they need to keep turning over the tables to make a profit, but the waitress kept checking to see if I was done and I kept saying no and just felt rushed.

Friendly staff, big drinks and delicious food. What else can you ask for?
We ordered the chicken and shredded flank steak enchiladas and both were good but I would really recommend the flank steak over the chicken.
Oh, and you can’t visit this place without ordering their guacamole and nachos. A perfect starter!

Bartender at Levee recommended this place and with good reason. Great food, although for some reason they give you TONS of filling and only a single tiny corn tortilla, and good prices. Great drinks and all well priced and in a fun friendly place. Ate at the bar and had a great view of the kitchen.
If you’re in Brooklyn and don’t drink at Levee and eat here you’re a clown and I’ll fight you… and I’ll win… and you will bring great shame and humiliation upon your family…

Incredible tacos! Lots and lots of flavor. Every single one. I had the cochinita pibil that was superb but it was as hot and spicy as good it was. Killer! The pavo al escabeche is very good but I the special of the day was THE one: mojo taco, garlic shrimp with a special sauce. The tacos are not big but they are decent for the price, 3.5 each.
The guacamole is great as usual and they had shishito peppers for the day. Top choices!
The quesadillas are different from what you would expect. They look like an empanada. Didn’t try it because it looked very fried.
The place is inexpensive and has a great vibe. Another great taco place in Williamsburg!

I’m a mexican food snob as I was raised near the border, and I can safely say that this place has great margaritas, tacos, guac and salsa — the staples a Mexican joint should have down — which La Superior does, along with some other fun menu items not normally found in a Mexican restaurant. It definitely serves the Mexico City street food theme it follows.
If you don’t mind the cramped space, the wait (which I always get through easily after ordering a margarita at the bar), then the price you pay will also please you. I come here frequently.

After many dining adventures, JBH finally gets her own review. Was squired here for a Euro-​style din (read: after 530p, which is when I usually eat din if not trapped in the hospital) — immediately greeted by Offspring’s «Pretty Fly for a White Guy», so knew shizz was abt to get real — settled in for margs, tacos, and eyeing the couples around us that we’d probs see out in an hour.
Vibe is kind of what I’d expect a resto that opened in a double wide trailer to look like — or, if Walking Dead was real and there was somehow an abandoned kitchen sitch that magically was flush w queso fresco and masa started pumping out Mexican street fare while avoiding getting taken over my zombies — you know, totally normal — that’s a long way of saying that it ain’t fancy, but it has dirty charm in its own way.
Service is fairly absent/​not thrilled to be there, though there is the occasional bright spot if you’re a regular, which JBH is — started w classic margs — could have been stronger/​lime-​ier, though as I have the tolerance of a 12y/​o who steals her parent’s vodka once a month and feels like a bad ass, obs two got me a little tips.
Moved on to blistered shishitos — with a sprinkle of salt and a kiss of lime, perfection — my camarones con chipotle taco was kicking — appropriately firey but not overwhelming — and the rajas is a creamy treat — the pescado w pico also got high marks — didn’t hit the pork brain quesadilla, though apparently that’s an option, as is slow cooked pork in nana leaves, jalapenos rellenos, gorditas con chorizo, and flautas to name a few — but did dive into a street quesadilla, which was a crispy little packet of rajas swimming in a mountain of queso — not a dieter’s delight, but whatever, let your hair down once in a while.
Cash only so roll w/​your dollar bills — though it’s hella cheap — tacos are $ 2.5/each, larger plates $ 8 – 13, quesadillas $ 3.5 — and idk how much drinks are, but they can’t be that absurd, I’m guessing $ 7 – 12. Overall, if you’re in the hood, not a bad place to stop for a nosh, though I’ll try Cerveceria Havemeyer prior to making my final judgement on how best to get my hongos on whilst in Brooklyn.

Really small rinky-​dink restaurant. Probably wouldn’t ever come back unless I was in the mood for some good guacamole or drinks because that’s all they seemed to have going for them.
The tacos were horrible. The chicken especially was blanddddd to be an understatement. Let’s just say I left thoroughly disappointed and unsatisfied.

Fantastic! And always on my top five lunch spots when in Williamsburg. Their queso fundido and guacamole are great. My go to is always their huarache top with fried eggs.
So so good!

TELLEMENT BON !
Après une petite marche dans les environs de Brooklyn, on arrive enfin dans ce restaurant à Tacos.
Tout commence par le guacamole (5 $) et les chips maison. On est déjà conquis. On pense que le guacamole est fait à partir d’avocat bien sûr mais aussi de concombre, léger donc.
Ensuite arrive les différents tacos (2,5 $ le tacos). Gros coup de coeur pour le «porc confit». Tout ça accompagné d’un bon cocktail épicé et la journée démarre comme il faut !

Le meilleur restaurant de tacos à Williamburg/​Brooklyn (NY).
