Guisados Maria

This place restored my faith in Mexican food in New York. It’s unbelievable. When you sit down you get complementary chips and salsa, something not common in New York. And the salsa is incredible. Ordered a burrito first time I came and was mind blown. Came back the next day, even though I live 50 minutes away, and ordered Al pastor tacos. Also incredible. Generous portions. Friendly staff too.

This place single-handedly restored my faith in NYC Mexican food. Got the vegetarian burrito and it was everything I hoped for and more. They put melted queso as a thin layer across the inside of the tortilla, allowing the flavors to be well balanced across the whole burrito. Excited to try their other dishes. The ladies working there are so nice and accommodating as well! You have an option to takeout or dine in. The interior is casual, but still manages to be cozy, clean, and comfortable to sit in.

Great new restaurant in Brooklyn, and after a few visits, it’s clear this place knows exactly what it’s doing. We ordered the cemita, bistec a la mexicana, tlacoyos de carnitas, and the costillas en salsa verde. The cemita was messy in the best way, the bistec was full of flavor and comforting, the tlacoyos were rich and satisfying, and the costillas en salsa verde were tender and deeply flavorful. Nothing felt overworked or fussy. Just really good food done right. The vibe matches the menu. Simple, relaxed, and confident. No gimmicks, no trying too hard. That’s how Mexican food should be, easy like a Sunday morning. This is the kind of place you don’t just try once. You come back, you bring friends, and before you know it, it’s part of your regular rotation. And honestly, that’s the be

I ordered 2 steak Picada Poblanas for pickup and they were delicious!! Great flavor and generous portions. They also have seating, I can’t wait to come back and dine in. The lady at the front is very kind, great service. So glad this gem is in the neighborhood, this place will be my go-to for Mexican food! 😊

some of the best tacos i’ve had in the city, and the salsas were delicious. the customer service was out of this world. the woman working there was so incredibly kind and warm, and even gifted my family and i keychains after we chatted with her for a bit. i am recommending this to everyone from now on!
