The Five Best Mexican Restaurants in Brooklyn

Brooklyn

There is no doubt that when it comes to food, people have their favorite types of cuisines and no matter where they are, they want to be able to get that type of food whenever they start to crave it. A perfect example is Mexican food. A lot of people have the tendency to think that the only place you can get good Mexican food is a place like New Mexico or Texas. In reality, you can find really good Mexican food in every state in the country. You just have to know where to look. Even in Brooklyn, a place that couldn't be any further in miles or culture from the previous example of Texas, there are some truly great Mexican restaurants. If you haven't given yourself the chance to experience at least one of them, you're missing out. If you want to know where you should be going when you're in Brooklyn, read the list below in order to find out more about the five best Mexican restaurants in the area.

Gran Electrica

If you really want to experience something that's both delicious and unique, this is a great place to start. It's Mexican food at its best but the thing that sets it apart is that it has something of a regional flare to it. It doesn't hurt that on top of the delicious entrees, the restaurant also serves up some of the best margaritas in the business. As far as the atmosphere goes, it's somewhat rustic. Some people might call it shabby chic. At any rate, it's a great place to go and they also have a patio if you prefer to eat outdoors.

Mesa Coyoacan

Some of the best Mexican food in the state of New York is served in this restaurant. If you want large entrees that will ensure that you definitely won't leave hungry, this is a place you need to try. One of the things that makes it truly unique is that instead of sitting everyone at their own specific table, this particular facility has large tables that run the length of the dining area. Everybody sits at the same table. You might think that this is a little odd at first, but rest assured, once you're there for just a few minutes you'll be loving it. The restaurant also serves one of the largest assortments of tequila you're ever likely to find anywhere.

Fonda

This restaurant serves up some delicious Mexican food but the thing that really sets it apart is the atmosphere. If sitting in a rustic restaurant or even at a communal table isn't really your thing, this might be more to your liking. This particular facility is much more modern. You might even think of it as a restaurant where Millennials go to eat Mexican food. The truth is, many people in the area consider this restaurant as one of the more important scenes where people gather as much for the sake of getting together as for eating.

Alma

The great thing about restaurants in Brooklyn is that every one of them does something that sets them apart. By their very nature, they have to. Otherwise, they run the risk of falling by the wayside and being completely forgotten about until they're forced to shutter their doors. The thing that makes this restaurant great, aside from the delicious cuisine, is that you can always get delicious food on one floor, enjoy drinks on another, and even have your meal on a rooftop patio that overlooks the Manhattan skyline. It just doesn't get any better than that.

Chavela’s

This is another restaurant in Brooklyn that offers delicious Mexican food. You can expect the same standard menu at this location as you would at any Mexican restaurant worth visiting. As is typically the case, they also have a number cocktails that can complement your meal. If you're looking for an updated yet cozy atmosphere or you're hungry for Mexican food late into the night, this is the perfect destination because it can provide you with all of these things and more.

Without a doubt, there are plenty of additional Mexican restaurants throughout Brooklyn and the surrounding boroughs. With that being said, you have to start somewhere. If you frequent the Brooklyn area, one of the restaurants on this list is probably already your favorite. If you don't go there as frequently, any of these five will make a good impression. From there, you can decide which one is your ultimate favorite.
