If you're a taco enthusiast like me, brace yourself for a gastronomic adventure that transcends borders right here in Brooklyn. I started my culinary journey with a classic: a beef taco drizzled with chili oil, and sesame. The moment I took my first bite, I was in taco heaven. The corn tortilla was amazing, soft, and buttery, providing the perfect canvas for the succulent beef. Next one on the list was the surf and turf taco. It's a symphony of flavors that defies description. Each bite was a delightful blend of land and sea, a true culinary masterpiece. What makes this place truly exceptional is the owner's personal touch. They have a passion for their craft that shines through in every dish. It's not just about serving tacos; it's about creating an unforgettable experience for every guest. Believe me, I've had tacos in Mexico itself, but these tacos stand tall among the best I've ever tasted. They are a testament to the dedication and skill of the culinary team here. In conclusion, if you're a foodie like me, this taco shop is a must-visit. The combination of incredible flavors, a welcoming atmosphere, and the personal touch of the owner make it a hidden gem in Brooklyn. Don't miss out on what I can confidently say are some of the best tacos you'll ever have. Highly...

Found my new favorite taco joint in Bay Ridge. Honestly, it's about time. I've been here going on 5 years, and have tried them all. Most are serviceable, some are even decent, Tacos Por Favor is like an 8/10, which is the best I've had since moving here. (Once, I had a 10/10, but that was in Florida and they're gone now.)
We ordered the taco platter last night. In order of favorite meats: al pastor, shredded beef, carnitas, tinga chicken. It was delivery, and we aren't that close to their location, but the food arrived quickly and still warm, which is impressive cause it was a pretty cold night last night. The green sauce is delicious and not too spicy. The red sauce has smoky notes, a decent amount of spice, but the kind of heat that doesn't last.
I'll try to update as we try other items.
Okay, update time. They have new Birria tacos and it is delicious! Their AM Burrito is great (like seriously), and so are the chilaquiles and the croissant chicken sandwich.
We order about once a week, but I WANT to order more frequently. I could seriously have these tacos like 5 times a week. I've only picked it up personally one time; every other time has been delivery. They are ALWAYS friendly, fast, and delicious! No messed up...

04/12/2023 Update Mexican Esquito Corn is AMAZING (NEW PIC)
Update 10/19/2022 Went for lunch and tried some new options: new carnitas tacos with cactus salad, chilaquiles with chorizo and chicken soup. All delicious but my surprise favorite were the tacos. That juxtaposition of texture and flavor are amazing.
Pedro and the Mandato Bakery team have a new location... Different menu, same tasty food. The breakfast burrito is the perfect blend of flavors that you come to expect from the culinary masters in their kitchen. The standard is with their signature chorizo and can be made vegetarian by opting out of that addition. The burrito comes with homemade potato chips too. The breakfast tacos have your choice of proteins with egg and caramelized white queso that provides rich texture and flavor. Today I also had their Tamales... And my first ever SWEET TAMALE! It had the taste of the holiday season. Can't wait to have these with a hot coffee during the colder months. Of course I highly recommend and can't wait to go through the rest...
