Absolutely love their food! I usually go for the Burrito Azul, the ground beef is seasoned to perfection, with a side of the spicy cilantro sauce. Portion sizes are pretty large - always end up taking leftovers to go. Nacho grande is also pretty solid. Service is fast and friendly, A+!
Delicious food, fantastic happy hour and great service. What else could you want?
We enjoyed a paloma & marg during happy hour, nothing to write home about but they were $9!
For mains we ordered:
> Salted beef tacos. These were incredible, we were worried they would be super salty but they weren’t. They were just perfect and the meat was very tender with delicious pico de Gallo on the side
> Cecina tacos: well cooked and very flavoursome
Enjoy!!
The food was very tasty and the staff was friendly/attentive. We found this spot on a Friday night while walking around the area. It was definitely a pleasant surprise and we will be back the next time we’re in the area again(:
Love this spot! Had the chicken tostadas, red pazole and a peach margarita. Their chicken was flavorful and juicy, honestly it did not disappoint. The pazole was a large portion and delicious. The peach margarita and the amazing service will definitely get me back here soon!
Always a very enjoyable meal whenever I have come.
No frills and straight forward menu with lots of vegetarian options if that's your thing.
Absolutely delicious brunch menu as well!!
Best Salmon Tacos I've ever tasted in my life and with a spicy kick. The only thing this place needs to be perfect is to work on its ambiance. Drinks were strong and tasty. Open late. Quiet outdoor area with fast service
It is the most friendly local Mexican place in Greenpoint. Every person working in here is happy and have positive energy. The food is good too, portions are huge. You can’t get this size to this price anywhere else in Greenpoint anymore.
Hands down one of the best restaurants in Brooklyn. Total hidden gem!
Huge portions of super delicious and authentic food at a great price. Unassuming and unpretentious. The servers are very friendly but not up in your face or over the top.
As I’m writing this I’m salivating just thinking about the juicy carnitas, so much saucier and flavorful than any other carnitas I’ve had. The Fajitas Mexicana is delicious and almost enough food for 2 people.
Feels like restaurants did 20 years ago before it was all about instagramming your food. I actually enjoy eating here more than Oxomoco and it’s 1/3 of the price.

Me and my husband visit this restaurant regular. It is really great place with fresh and tasty dishes. Nice service and decor. Recommend especially The taco salad and shrimp fajita. Very good frozen margarita (guava) as well.
One of Greenpoint's best kept food secrets, the Tacos Bandera! GP insiders have been enjoying this for a while and more people should be basking in this food delight. It's only on the special menu for Friday nights, but they've made it pretty much every night of the week upon request. While this is my favorite dish, I genuinely love every dish I've had here. Some items are quite spicy, which I prefer, but caution to those that don't spicy does mean spicy here. Very friendly staff and table side space heaters while indoor dining moratorium is in effect.
I had an absolutely fantastic Cuban sandwich (Torta Cubana), while my girlfriend got the fajitas. Her steak was overcooked, so it was a bit hard and dry. We've only been there once, so I can't tell you if this is normal or a one-time occurrence.
The limemade (lemonade, but made from limes) was excellent. Certain meals come with beer or wine, included.
Staff was attentive and service was quick. Recommend it if you're in the neighborhood!
By far my favorite place in the neighborhood for Mexican food. Super consistent and friendly staff always make it enjoyable.
I've been coming to Vamos Al Tequila since I first moved to Greenpoint in 2013. I've delayed writing a review because I was trying to keep the best kept secret in Greenpoint to myself. After 10 years of coming here, I'm ready to share my list of favorites. First of all, the best Crunchy Ground Beef Tacos are found here. They also recently added empanadas to their menu!!! If you're in the mood for a good burger, The Al Pastor burger is insanely decadent. As a Mexican National, I can testify to the fact that the Black Bean and Cheese Tamales, are spectacular! Sadly I can't share any photos of their amazing "Green Soup" because I was busy eating it while it was still hot. I love the fact that Vamos Al Tequila is family run. They really care about the quality of their ingredients.
Had the shrimp & chorizo burrito and it was delectable. Guacamole was smooth & delicious. Great value for money too. It has a more Tex Mex flavor profile though.
This place is a local gem. The menu is extensive and they have great special items. Most of the food is amazing. In warm weather there’s also outside seating.
Great food. Not a fan of the tres leches which was dry but everything else was amazing.
