Excellent open-faced sandwiches and affordable wines by the glass. Great for a small group to kick back and chat for a while over small plates.

Arguably the best mexican restaurant in Brooklyn. Try the "rancheros divorciados" and ask them to scramble your eggs. And don't forget to ask for extra tortillas for your beans and guac!

Great food and drinks at reasonable prices. The crowd varies throughout the week and tends to be on the noisier side on weekend nights.
