Worthy Picks
7.7
A smaller, family-run Bay Ridge Mexican room that leans more dinner-cozy than party-late, but still works for a later sit-down meal. Best ordering is mole-forward and seafood-leaning—one tostada starter, one enchilada-style main, and keep the table’s pacing simple.
Must-Try Dishes:
Enchiladas with mole, Octopus tostada, Tacos (mixed)
What makes it special: Family-run Mexican cooking with mole and thoughtful small-plate starters.
#3
Tequila
7.5
A newer, neighborhood Mexican option that’s best treated as a straightforward weeknight/takeout play rather than a destination. Go for the core staples—tacos, burrito, and chips—then calibrate from there as the place builds a longer track record.
Must-Try Dishes:
Tacos (assorted), Burrito, Chips and salsa
What makes it special: Simple Bay Ridge Mexican that stays open later than most counter spots.
