The food and drinks were all good, although not exceptional. However, the service was truly awful. I visited on a Saturday night and the whole time my friend and I were eating it felt like they were rushing us. I understand that it is a small space and Saturday's are a busy night, but our presence shouldn't have been treated as an inconvenience, which is how it felt. The manager was rude, combative and even yelled at customers. Stay clear of this place if you want to have a nice evening out. They really don't seem to care about their guests

Tasty beans, good rice and SPICY sauces. Stay away from the shrimp though. The fish tacos were nice, and the veggie dishes are well-made as well. Go to www.eatbrooklynfood.blogspot.com for photos and more descriptions. Great margaritas too!

Went there for brunch & it was very yummy. $5 Margaritas were very limey & had a nice kick. Place is damn small, crammed & uncomfortable but worth the trip. Very fresh homemade test.

Go to Los Pollitos Instead

We normally go to Pequena for dinner, but one time went just for cocktails and snacks. What a mistake! The waitstaff gets irritable if you do not order a lot, and the service can be painfully slow. We waited over 30 minutes for tacos and chips. The fish tacos are delicious, but the service was so surly and slow (and pricier than the excellent Los Pollitos) that we are loathe to ever return.
