With ample use of bright colors and fake palm trees, co-owner (and Brooklyn Label founder) Cody Utzman modeled Greenpoint’s go-to Mexican joint after a West Coast beach town, without the sand. Classics here, however, don’t hide Brooklyn-friendly twists. The number of taco fillings (or nacho toppings) including chicken, beef, pork, chorizo, carne asada, and grilled tilipa, is rivaled by vegetarian/vegan counterparts like grilled veggies, seiten asada, spicy tempeh, and soyrizo. You can get your burrito chimichanga style (fried and topped with salsa) or “wet” (smothered in enchilada sauce, cheese, and sour cream). Seating expands to an outdoor patio that stays busy through summer. If you want to linger, art for sale on the walls makes for a good topic of conversation, but proceed with caution when discussing the not-for-sale collage of Farrah Fawcett circa Charlie’s Angels in the men’s room. — Daniel Benjamin
