Chinantla - City of New York

I found this place on Google maps just searching for a quick bite to eat on our way to prospect park. It looked like a bodega when you walked in, but the restaurant is actually in the back. We were seated and given menus right away by a waitress, even though the restaurant was buzzing with movement because of the bustle of the lunch rush. The waitress was patient as I practiced my Spanish while ordering. We got the carne asada sopes (which I'd never had before), tacos (3 for about $10) and a cheeseburger with fries. 3 bottles of cokes washed it all down. They served beers, jarritos and horchata too though. Everything was delicious! Even/especially the fries. Our food took a while to come out, but again the lunchtime rush was in full effect when we walked in the door. Zero complaints with this spot, even the salsa was on point!

Looks like a total dump of a bodega at first glance but they have freaking delicious mexican restaurant in the back! Get the “tacos placeros”. Only place in nyc i have ever seen them on a menu ... theyre huge and delicious!

I’m from California and this place is a godsend the torta is where it’s at! They also have a great selection of imported snacks that are hard to find elsewhere

Large portions of excellent Mexican food! The house special veggie tacos with napoles (cactus) were served with side of verde and mole salsas. So good. Al pastor burrito gets some press. Up front, groceries include tortillas, produce, and specialties like queso cotija. What more do you need? Note: cash only.

This is the kind of place you want to go. If you want really good food. I love Mexican food. One of the best tacos in Brooklyn. Flavor on point. Nice size good price. First time there, won't be my last.
