Taqueria La Norteña — Restaurant in New York

NEW UPDATE: There’s no reason to order from anywhere else in Brooklyn, even for non Mexican food!!!! No joke!!!

Had the Sopes n they were AWESOME!!! Big surprise? NOT!! This place is great!!! The fish is great, Sopes were great, tacos, u name it!!!

UPDATE: Was craving a burger n I thought lemme try La Nortena because my burger place was closed. I had a hypothesis that since EVERYTHING I’ve had from them so far was so good n prepared so carefully n thoughtfully...I figured hmmm I’ll try their burger. If they can make legit Mexican food, they can DEF make a burger, right? I went for it n it was AWESOME BACON CHEESE BURGER !!!!!! OMG!!!! I even asked for all kinds of specific details n extra requests because I’m a food fanatic n former professional chef n I take good of all types very seriously n like my stuff prepared in very specific ways. They got every single request I made 100% correct. For me that goes a long way. I hate when my food is wrong or bad but at this place it’s felt like every meal coulda been made by my mother or father or brother or sister or best friend. How many places can u say that about? Their prices r also really reasonable. I’d eat every meal from this spot lol.

I luv this place because I used to have legit Mexican food in my old neighborhood but not here in my new one. This place delivers to my area tho n is fully legit!!! It’s not BS Mexican food for ppl who don’t know any better. I had the Mojarra Frita 3 times last week lol. I haven’t tried the Sopes yet but that will be next or...

The rice and beans component of the dish proved to be the most disappointing element, with an imbalanced ratio of approximately 3/4 beans to 1/4 rice, rendering the quantity of rice overwhelming and impractical. This imbalance was exacerbated by the lack of utility for such an excess of rice, leading to a sense of dissatisfaction and inconvenience. The presentation of such an imbalanced proportion is regrettable, as it detracted from the overall dining experience. Regarding the torta, while the flavor was acceptable, the texture of the bread was compromised by staleness, detracting from the enjoyment of the dish. Additionally, the al pastor meat exhibited an unexpected chewiness, deviating from the anticipated tenderness associated with this preparation. Despite these shortcomings, the highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the tres leches dessert, characterized by its exceptional moistness and delectable flavor profile, standing out as one of the finest renditions of tres leches encountered. Regrettably, the disparity between the quality of the dessert and the main courses was notable, underscoring missed opportunities for...

Came here for dinner intending to spend $$$ and use a restaurant.com voucher. Upon showing the voucher to the owner he immediately became hostile and borderline rude and told us he wouldn’t accept it. He took a photo of the voucher in my phone and started making out that he’d have to call them and made us feel like we’d done something wrong. This guy has no business running any kind of hospitality establishment. He should have honoured the discount and reach out to restaurant.com afterwards to remove his offer. Instead his attitude made us feel like we didn’t want to stay or give him a dime so we left and found somewhere else to eat. Turns out there are better options in the neighbourhood anyway. Avoid this place, service with a smile it ain’t!

By the way - it’s now 3 days later and the offer on restaurant.com is still live, so he’s obviously not bothered to do anything about it. I suspect he uses it for advertising and then cons people into paying full price when...
