Profile

A stylish, Mexican restaurant on a gritty Carroll Gardens stretch that's fast becoming another Brooklyn restaurant row. The menu spans all the requisite spicy stuff—from guacamole to mole poblano—but emphasizes seafood. Come summer, when the outdoor upper deck is open, quaff a margarita alfresco with a lovely view of Brooklyn piers and the Manhattan skyline.

Happy Hour

Daily, 4 p.m.—7 p.m. at B61 Bar located downstairs.

Note
Reservations only accepted for the dining room, not the rooftop deck.

Recommended Dishes

Ceviche, $9.50; chilaquiles ranchero, $8.75; grilled duck breast, $18

Beware of Plastic Screens Spoiling Outstanding Views

Relatively high-priced with claustrophobic roof deck seating. Akin to the table spacing of Harrys Burritos without the food value ($84 for 2, one drink and entree each, shared appetizer and dessert). Roof deck has great views, provided plastic screens are not down for wind, chill or small children, in which case, the place feels very cramped. Good to very good food, avoid plantains and popular night crowds.

A true sleeper, A gem!
