"Having an apartment in this neighborhood my husband walked past this place every day so we decided to have dinner here even though I had come by here a few weeks ago asking if they had Sopas and besides telling me she didn 't really speak English the answer was just No!the menu was extremely limited and really has Nothing for Vegan 's or vegetarian 's. I believe there is one item a burrito with spicy vegetables. It 's a Mexican restaurant yet has No Mexican cheese for their items on their menu. Also No Mexican Coca-Cola in the bottle. They have Corona Beer but unfortunately there 's No price on the menu for Corona so we didn 't know the price until we got the bill. $12 for 2. My husband ordered a steak burrito I ordered a quesadilla they have No black beans so I had to get pinto beans they have No Vegetarian rice so I got guacamole and whatever cheese they use I believe cheddar. They have No Lime for the beer and the girl said the owner said limes are too expensive so they only gave me lemon for my beer. We were the only ones in the restaurant, and I certainly can understand why no one comes here. Our food arrives she sets it down walks away and what do you think after her and I have been talking about Vegetarian-Vegan-Food what do we have but Chicken in my quesadilla! Her answer and excuse was oh well I wrote just cheese quesadilla but the kitchen didn 't see it. We are the only people in the restaurant there were No other orders. As some favor she says oh you can keep it I 'll go and make you another dish. Ummm... clearly she wasn 't listening to what I was saying because why would I keep a chicken quesadilla being a vegetarian?? I gave her the whole plate back and told her I wanted a check. My husband got his burrito to go, we drank our two beers and the bill was $32. My husband also gave her a five dollar tip I 'm not sure for what her bad attitude or all the mistakes?? They are a joke! Zero stars for the service! zero stars for the food! one star for the atmosphere"

"TL;DR: Weaselly and dishonest, rude, only average food nothing special. More detail: One of my biggest pet peeves is dishonest, weaselly business practices. I ordered guacamole; menu sign lists the price as 6.99. When the young lady (who was rude attitude rang it up, it charged me 7.99 (a dollar more . When I pointed out the price as quoted on the sign, she looked me in the eye and immediately coldly said, That price is wrong. Excuse me?? Oh it iS, is it?? Well, isn 't that convenient. It 's not the dollar that angers me; I can afford it. It 's the dishonesty and the attitude. The correct response should have been: Sorry sir; we changed the price and haven 't changed the sign yet. Let me re do the total for you (followed by removing a dollar from my total . That price is wrong is NOT THE CORRECT RESPONSE. (Oh, and I wonder how long the price on the sign has been wrong and how many people noticed the overcharging going on? So, this place cheats its customers, and gives rude service. Is that all? No. My food was also utterly average, nothing special. Congratulations, you cheated me out of an extra dollar. You 'll never see me again, nor anybody I talk to about you, so enjoy your gain. No reason to come here for meh food, rude attitude, and sleazy dishonest business practices. No surprise to me that there are so many negative reviews on Yelp mentioning how rude the clerks are. Go elsewhere."

"I am so happy to see these guys became a permanent fixture. They have good tacos, plates, and the standard taco truck items. They are friendly, speak English and Spanish, and look like they take cards or will do so shortly. It is a personal joy for me to walk out my backdoor and see the faint glinting of their multicolored lights reflecting off the ell. I used to go for walls before the area became dangerous at night. There aren't many lights in the area and there aren't many people around after dark since Paradise Fruit Vegetable closed. There is an industrial hardware store here now, remniscent of lower New Utrecht businesses. Without a bodega on this side of Bay Ridge Avenue, there isn't much life. The truck makes this a corner with light and stool and pedestrian customers as well as deliverymen: enough to give it a pulse. It feels safer to walk over here now, and tacos are an excellent excuse. Their Carne and pollo tacos are good. But the real specialty is their Brooklyn-style Bírria. I don't know enough about Birria to know how different theirs is, except that it is beef and not lamb. It is amazing, with that home-stewed comfort. Fried, seasoned toetillas stay crunchy against the salty, wet beef because of a layer of melted cheese. It hits that southwestern US tastebud with the cheese amd beef. Their beans and rice taste like I am a kid again, which has been one of the hardest things to find. I plan to try the flauta pollo eventually as the quest one was flawless. The flavors are fresh and on point without being overseasoned or bland. And a there's nothing like a walk at 3 am toward rainbow lights for comfort food. Please never leave."
