Very good, clean, and professional. Everyone inside was friendly, polite, and helpful. The food was fresh and really good. I had steak & Chicken nachos without Pico and the owner had me try a shrimp taco- which was VERY good. I also enjoyed the frozen sangria. There are a few stools where you can eat inside. Idk if they have a back patio for the warmer days (should've asked) but it's great for takeout also. Very organized. I'll be back!!!! I have to do better with food pics bc I really start tearing it up before I can snap something. Sorry guys.

Great little spot. Quality, fresh food. Great service with an open friendliness that was very welcome to this very recent transplant to the city. Try the nachos! The sample I was given was excellent.

This place deserves all the amazing reviews that it has. We stopped by to pick up lunch after our Airbnb owner recommended it and it was so amazing. We ordered the Steak Bowls and the staff were so friendly and nice. We visited on Valentine’s Day and they even came outside and gave us valentine donuts!! Such an amazing and cute place. Highly recommend!

Haven’t been here in a while and I’m mad at myself about it because I was reminded of how great their food is. I love a good crunch with my nachos and melted cheese, theirs did not disappoint. Also got the jerk pork taco for my bf and he said it was really good.

I used to go here a lot when I lived in the area but moved to another area last year. I went today while waiting for an appointment, and they did not disappoint. I usually always got tacos before but decided on a salad today. That’s the most shrimp I’ve ever had on a salad in nyc for that price, and it was cooked to perfection. They don’t know I’m obsessed with pickled anything, so the pickled onions were ! The cilantro dressing is also really good and they gave me extra without charging me. And, as usual, the frozen Margarito did what it was supposed to do! Only took one point off for atmosphere since they’re redoing the outdoor seating and the inside doesn’t have much seating. The service is great though and the crew is very friendly. Please reopen the Flatbush location!

I was visiting a friend in NYC (im from the west coast) and on my first night in town, we went and got burritos here. Their fried chicken burrito was so good that I couldn’t stop thinking about it so I had to go back and get another one the day before I left for home. The guys there were super nice and even remembered the name I gave them for my order. Pretty sure I might have to fly back just to get another one of those burritos:)

Second Review: Every chance I get I try to get tacos from this spot which is every FRIDAY after Pilates. Had and enjoyed the El Jeffe beverage with the Jerk Pork and the Fried Fish. Enjoyed it all‼. Week after week the customer service gets better. Food, drinks, atmosphere, etc. is a whole vibe. A total recommendation, everyone is friendly and beautiful and the drinks hit. Go for the MOJITOs any flavor (Preferably coconut) made with love from ANI or ONI a.k.a Agnieska.

The jerk pork burrito here is a flavor explosion! Tender, spicy pork wrapped with fragrant rice, beans, and fresh toppings—it's a perfect balance of smoky heat and satisfying heartiness. The spices dance on your taste buds, leaving you craving more. A must-try for burrito lovers seeking something bold and unforgettable! Truly enjoyed it with guac on the side super dope!
