La Abuelita consistently makes very delicious Mexican food :] The kitchen's in the back, the front's a deli with fresh tropical fruits and produce, and there's also yummy pastries like thres leches cakes! the outdoor seating area to the right is a nice hang out space. I really like the wholesome atmosphere of this mom-and-pop shop, the family working here is very nice. Highly recommend to anyone passing by.

Super good , well priced , seasoned well and good portions ! Would totally come back again ! I got the burrito w/ carne and I appreciate they were open late since I had just come out of work . It’s a very humble little spot and the workers were super nice. - born and raised NYer

Everything about this place is done right. A well maintained grocery store that leads to comfortable exclusive seating in front of a dining counter. The ladies behind the plastic veil of the counter conjure up some of the most remarkable homestyle food in all of Bushwick. It feels like you've entered someone's home and their grandma is whipping up lunch. I encourage you to try every protein option in every combination of medium available whether it be a taco or sopes or otherwise.

This is a must try hole in the wall taqueria. I got the quesadilla which was massive and only 10 bucks! Although I enjoyed it, I saw they also made picatidas that looked amazing. Bushwick should consider itself lucky for all for all of its authentic Mexican options. I live in Park Slope and there’s nothing like this.
