Mexico 2000 Grocery

I was expecting good California style Mexican food and instead it was one of those spots that is authentic Brooklyn bodega Mexican.
I ordered a chorizo burrito to stay and when I took a bite I realized that it was filled with only chorizo and sliced cooked carrots — no rice, no beans and I had to eat it with a fork and knife because the sour cream was on the outside.
If you are going to stuff a burrito full of cooked carrots it should at least be mentioned on the menu and then you should change that menu and stop putting cooked carrots in your burritos.

Just had the Gringo Veggie Verde…
The quantity… awesome. The thing weight in at 2+ lbs.
The veg in the burrito was small chopped up bits of carrot, broccoli and green pepper. Not so great.
The rice and beans… pretty good.
I think this place does better with meat dishes.

Obtaining great Mexican food in NYC is a challenge of the gods, so I was very surprised to discover this place. It’s above average (for NYC), and you really can’t beat the amount-​of-​food/​price ratio.
My go-​to is the enchiladas suizas plate, which costs $ 8 and could easily feed two.

Wow! Great place. Came in for brunch on 2÷6÷2016 and the food was really good. But the service id amazing! I felt like a king. The waiters were so nice and genuine. Also they are not stingy with the booze in their sangria. Kudos to those hard working employees at 2000 Mexico

Authentic, family-​run, super tasty Mexican eatery in Williamsburg. Highly recommend for a cheap and tasty eat in the hood!

Considering the rapturous reviews, central location and great weather, I was surprised to be the only person at Mexico 2000 for an over an hour as I ate lunch and did some speed reading ahead of a book club meeting.
Without people and with some slightly too loud ranchera playing, the atmosphere was a little lacking. This is also a place where the table comes with empty Stella goblets, guacamole bowls and menus when you arrive. It’s overly fussy and no one removed this when I sat down. When the food started arriving, my two plates were crowded out by all of these present as part of a bizarre up-​selling strategy.
Although this is a Mexican restaurant underneath a subway line that is attached a bodega. No one comes here for the atmosphere. It’s for the food. Chips and salsa at the beginning of the meal disappoint with cold chips and even colder salsa. There’s no kick at all to the sauce and chips are definitely not made on site.
Things perk up from there, with a massive $ 5 quesadilla al pastor. The crema is spread throughout the shell and there’s plenty of cheese, pork and pineapple. I also ordered a chorizo taco, which was completely unnecessary. I only made it through a couple of bites, but this wasn’t because of the quality of the food.
I was charged $ 2.50 as opposed to the menu price of $ 2 for each of my two Diet Cokes. I thought about not mentioning this because of the small amount, but I’m glad I did. The error was immediately corrected (and the difference added on to the tip) with a smile. It was a nice detail, just like when I left, the manager thanked me for stopping in.
I hope they fix the chip situation, because I’m definitely planning on come back to Mexico 2000.

Perfect tacos! I’m a creature of habit. Steak tacos and nachos have never disappointed. Cooked perfectly steak, fresh and amazing tortillas, perfect (and generous) toppings… Lettuce, cilantro, onions, cheese. Even delivered home is extremely tasty

We went to both places, the grocery store and the restaurant. The grocery store was hands down better than the restaurant as far as service. The food was very good at both places. If it was up to me I’d go back to the grocery place, the waitress there was more attentive. I think she should train the ones at the restaurant.

Very good authentic Mexican food and friendly staff. Love the guacamole and margaritas!

Do not ever order delivery from this place. They do not deliver food on time. Meal showed up almost an hour later than it was expected to. By then, it was too late to go or order from anywhere else because it was already prime dining time so most other places would be busy too. They didn’t offer to anything extra or offer to refund us money or anything for their horrible mishap. I would definitely say do NOT order delivery from this restaurant. There are too many other better Mexican restaurants in Williamsburg that also deliver.

Excellent FOOD! I LOVE THE CEVICHE! The guacamole was very good as well. the servers in this establishment are very informative and funny as well. Had a great experience with my fam and friends.

This place has some really good tacos and service. I highly recommend everyone to try this place out!

This is the most authentic Mexican food you will find in New York and it’s delicious. The nachos, enchiladas, tacos, sopes, and tortas are great. You have to walk to the back of the store to get to the «cafeteria». There are roughly two or three tables that seat a maximum of 6 – 8 people (i think that’s why they opened the Mexico 2000 restaurant next door). It’s a really chill vibe, but you are in the middle of the cashier and the kitchen so it will get loud. If you are looking for a different ambiance, check out the restaurant. Delivery is great as well. They don’t always remember everything, but if you call them, they will bring whatever you need immediately. I love this place.

Such amazing people and food here. I go mainly for limes, tortillas and avocados. They do a decent café con leche and are now opening a restaurant next door.

I travel the U. S as a consultant and have had my share of Mexican cuisine around the country. This restaurant has several items that are very delicious. Today I had the pork tamale and the carnitas taco. Delicious, fresh, and the perfect portion. The salsa is also fresh and satisfying.
The staff is very welcoming. I recommend everyone to try this place. I did not give it 5 stars because i have not tried everything on the menu. I will definitely return to try the rest.

Amazing!!! Delicious, authentic Mexican food, beautiful new restaurant space and atmosphere, fantastic service, what more could you ask for?! This is definitely my family’s new spot for Mexican food!

3.5 stars
I certainly share the opinion of few people here that does not understand what the whole excitement is about. Very typical americanized mexican food served by friendly staff. Nothing special, but I had worse.
They also have a selection of pastries, every single one I’ve tried appeared to be some sort of sweet bread.

I really don’t want to tell other people about this place because it is currently a hole in the wall and have amazing food for cheap. To be blunt, I want it for myself but of course I have to write a review of how amazing this place is. The food is so delicious and have a good amount of portion. If this place was close to my house I would be here all the time.
If you see this place from the outside, it pretty much looks like a Mexican grocery store, but don’t be fooled because when you walk inside your greeted by the wonderful aroma of food. There are four tables that can sit about eight people, like I said hole in the wall but I don’t care. I love eating out for the food, not the ambiance.
Guacamole is on point.
The chicken enchilada, I got the mole poblano is so good!
The burrito is humongous and again so so good!
The flavor is just right, not too salty and seasoned just right. The beans doesn’t taste refrigerated or canned and the rice isn’t soggy, bland, or too hard. Like I said perfection, but keep in mind don’t expect too much from the ambiance.

Mexico 2000 is, without a doubt, the best Mexican food in NYC. And the people who run it are the kindest people I’ve ever encountered. So often I meet people who have moved from the west coast, and while they love the city, they bemoan the lack of decent Mexican food. I always point them to Mexico 2000. The food is rich, authentic, and always cooked with the freshest ingredients. It’s straight Mexican, no fancy hybrid. They make their own tamales on the weekends, and everything is amazing.
I lived on South 5^th for 4 years, and ate everything there was to offer in Williamsburg. And that was the Williamsburg food prime, between 2004 and 2011. Today, I returned to Brooklyn for the first time in a few months, and Mexico 2000 was the place I went – its that good.
Turns out, they’re expanding! I talked with Sergio and he told us the food and the prices would not be changing, but they’ll have lots of seating, top-​quality margaritas, and an excellent brunch. I’m super excited.

This place is great. I’d doubly recommend it if you want to catch a little of the world cup in an authentic atmosphere. There are just a few tables in the back so there isn’t too much room.
The food is fantastic. It’s not at all like most of the fancy «mexican food» that you’ll find around NYC. It’s much more like the mexican food that you’ll find in the southwest. It’s a shame that they aren’t open later. It would be perfect food for after the bar.
