Reviews

Pretty good local spot for tacos.
I grabbed some the other day for lunch, and they hit the spot.
I had a steak, chicken, and pork al pastor.
The al pastor had the best taste, but it was smaller than the rest.
The chicken and steak were good, but I got a few chunks of fat in each, which was a bit of a turn-off.
For the price, however, it was a good lunch.


The vegetarian burrito was filled with vegetables out of a can (carrots, peas and corn) and nothing else.
I can't image anything more revolting.


On food quality alone, El Mirador is the best restaurant in Kensington and dwarfs most of Brooklyn's Mexican restaurants.
Prices are great and fair and there's a wide menu capable of accommodating most. I usually don't doc points for service but El Mirador is incredibly flakey.
Sometimes they just don't open.
Getting delivery from them is a great way to ruin an afternoon and even in person, it can take upwards of ninety minutes to get small orders. I try to judge on food alone but this place is so lethargic and unpredictable that the experience can and will be periodically ruined by their own disfunction.
