Guacamole Brooklyn — Restaurant in New York

Wow. Okay, so this neighborhood spot looked so small and overwhelmed by the stores around it, I decided to stop in for lunch just now. Let me I don't often write Google reviews - this place deserves it. Clean, friendly staff, delicious food, and as fast a service as I could expect from such quality. I was in and out in less than 8 minutes. I did not expect my burrito to have a Chipotle-style assembly line setup, but after the man cooked my Al Pastor pork, he called me over from where I was daydreaming in the corner and we did just that. The pork/onion he'd just cooked looked amazing (dark, glistening, covered in spice) but every ingredient - the rice, the salsas, the beans, the corn - looked to have been cooked with extra levels of depth, flavor, and spice. I quietly admired all this as he went down the line, and right around the time he started bringing the guacamole into the picture (with a very unconventional scoop/flick technique I'd never seen before, but which provided incredible guacamole coverage on both sides of the burrito at once), I realized... this dude knew how to cook. Like, actually knew. And after he recommended a little cup of medium salsa to go, and wrapped my heavy little burrito in tin foil and placed it on the hot metal surface behind him to keep it hot while ringing me up, I realized... this dude actually cares. Delicious, no frills food. Friendly, attentive service. This is definitely going into...

I hate to give a bad review to my people but I need to be honest. At first, I was excited to find this spot on our way out of Brooklyn and then when I smelled the tortillas wow, even more. Unfortunately, I didn't like the tacos. The girl cooking just grabbed some plastic containers with pre-cooked meats and started heating the meats on the griddle, first bad sign. Then she heated up the tortillas, which smelled great but ruined it by placing them on a dish a proceeding to add sweet corn, iceberg lettuce, bell peppers and whaaaaat??? That's not Mexican, never in my life I've seen this.

She was very slow to do all of this and seemed to be having a bad day or something.

By the time we got our tacos the food was already cold and the tortillas were literally falling apart.

Very bad experience, even customer service was bad. I'm being generous with the...

I live in a City where there are a lot of Mexican restaurants and bars so when we go out of state we don’t normally eat Mexican food out because of how spoiled we are. However, I was craving Birria tacos and oh-my-GOD! Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to some delicious food here. I am definitely coming back and recommending this place to friends and family.

Also the person who took care of me was super friendly. This...
