"Awful!!!!! Flies and Uncooked Slimy Chicken!!!This restaurant deserves NO STAR!!. I came here with my family for dinner. There where flies everywhere. When we first walked in they sat us down by the counter area. We sat for a good 5 minutes and they took our order. Honestly it felt a-little rushed so we placed our order. On a scale from 1-10 on service I rate them a 3. service was terrible! My family and I love eating out and trying new places. This was a new spot for us plus we where excited to find a new spot to go to and possible invite our friends. My husband ordered there special drink of the day which was the Blackberry Frozen Margarita Drink!! Myself and the kids ordered Jarritos just to be on the safe side. My husband said and I quote That was hands down the worst drink of the day . He took one sip and said it was horrible. My husband kindly asked the waiter to remove the drink from the table. We are fruquent restaurant goers and we know great hospitality and this place had none. The waiter did not ask if something was wrong or if he would like to substitute the drink for another drink, They simple took the drink away while laughing stating awe, you don 't like it again still not offering an alternative. When we received our food I was expecting a clean plate with poblano chicken, rice and refried beans. When I was handed my food you can still see the slimy uncooked chicken skin and the inside of the chicken was extremely slimy and cold. My rice literally was lumps of rice some hard some soft. I work in the food industry and I 'm a firm believer of looks can be deceiving so I took two bites anyway. I regret those two bites I took. After 5 minutes my stomach started bubbling up and I instantly felt the urge to barf. I did not eat anything else I told me children not to eat the food to avoid them from getting sick. When the waitress asked for my husbands order he requested fish tacos, the waitress continued to asked how he would like the dish he said fried and she still came back with grilled tilapia fish. He did not like his food as well being he was not expecting the fish to be grilled on top of it they gave tilapia fish. Well at the end of our terrible experience we immediately asked for the receipt. They did not remove the drink from the receipt. When we told them you clearly took the drink back in it 's full glass why would you still charge the drink.they simple said all drinks are final . So I intervened and said well okay if all drinks are final then please remove my plate from the receipt due to the fact this chicken is not cooked at it 's full temperature of 165 degrees. The chicken was slimy and cold in the inside. so they immediately took the drink off and left the food on the receipt. I advise people not to eat here due to many code violations that I 've witnessed. Flies, uncooked food, raw foods."

The service was great. The food was tasty, and so were the drinks.

The fajitas were delicious and juicy. The black beans and rice were also quite flavorful. Delivery was prompt.

Ordered for delivery. They where an hour late and this disgusting mashup of barely any food cost $25. How this place has more than 2-stars is beyond me.

The spot is nice. I eat on the backyard witch is all rocks leaving table and sets uneven. The Guacamole was way to thick for my liking. My shrimp dish had a sauce that was great . I give it a 3.5 View menu

A no fuss mexican joint in the heart of Brooklyn. The food was fantastic, the service was fantastic, and the soul was all there. It's a quick walk from the Brownstones and right in the center of everything around town. Highly recommend it if you are walking around and close by.

Stopped in at random and was not disappointed. Restaurant has a large outdoor dining area that is perfect for a sunny day. I am of the opinion you can really screw up a burrito but the one I got here was certainly above average. Careful with the medium salsa though as it does have some bite!

A great experience with classic Mexican food. They have a great menu of options to choose from. We had the tacos which hit the spot, with plenty of meat and sauces. Pork is very juicy and flavorful and the chicken is a nice flavor but is a little dry.They have a lovely backyard with plenty of space to sit and eat. The staff was fast and friendly too. Easy to get to and is offthe C train. Great place to get food! ???????????????? View menu

I just had some amaZing authenic Mexican food and I am both happy and sated! Jose was my server and I ate beef chorizo nachos and had one margarita. ONE margarita(that viral short)that made me want to sit back down when I stood up to leave. I sat in the garden and it felt like I was somewhere else-away from Brooklyn on Fulton St. Amazing food, Awesome drinks...You must ry this spot next time you're in the market for some Authentic Mexican food.I certainly recommend!

Ojala is a solid local restaurant. The food was decent; I ordered the chicken salad. Unfortunately, there was no air conditioning or fans, making it too hot to sit outside. The ordering and payment system was malfunctioning, so we had to place our order and pay online as if it were a takeout order. It was a creative and unconventional approach, though it served its purpose. The mimosa was a bit flat. The service was helpful but not very attentive. I think I'll wait for cooler weather before visiting again.

"When we called to reserve a table, no one informed us that there was a dining time limit of 1.5 hours. My friend wanted to invite more people to join us for dinner, but I was unsure if everyone would agree to the minimum charge of $60, including taxes and tips. I confirmed a reservation for 7 people during my second call, but ultimately, only 6 of us showed up. The table we were given was quite small, making it uncomfortable for six people, especially with the mandatory minimum spending of $60, as well as a 20% tip. For just two people, the minimum tip is 18%. I was confused about the dining time limit—was it two hours or 1.5? The party area was limited to just the backyard for additional seating. I was with friends who didn’t know the group well, and we arrived early at 3 PM, but we couldn’t wait until 6:30 PM. That’s why we ended up sitting at a separate table for two. Unfortunately, the restaurant didn’t seem to care and couldn’t arrange for us to be seated closer together. We had no choice in the matter. To make matters worse, the female waiter had a poor attitude. It felt like we were dining in a sidewalk market. She questioned another girl who served me ponzu sauce, apparently because I looked impatient when I saw her face. Her attitude only worsened after that. It seems like they need to train their employees better, as they seem unaware of how to provide good service. As for the food, it was just okay, typical of basic Japanese cuisine. There were too many restrictions! Customers are forced to adhere to the restaurant’s rules and limitations. I cannot recommend this place unless someone is specifically looking for a fast-food experience. In short, I don’t think I’ll be returning next time."
