Mexican food was amazing. Service was spot on. Had the choice to sit indoors outside in a pretty garden but owing to heat we stayed indoors. Reasonable, tasty food but could easily miss it- on the corner and doesn’t look open but once you open the door, see the deco, hear the music and friendly waiting staff smiles yoh know you’ve found a gem. A really mixed crowd and I would def go ahead. We ordered a mix of meat and vegetarian food which did not disappoint

Delicious tacos in Brooklyn, with fresh ingredients and authentic flavours. Located right under the Brooklyn Bridge, it’s amazing in the summer, especially in their backyard, which I understand is open for food. The seating is not the most comfortable with hard metal and wooden benches. The fresh flavours and vibrant atmosphere make it well worth a visit if in Brooklyn.

The food is amazing, especially the guac and quesadilla. But, the service was awful. I went last night, and was quite displeased. Our waitress did not come to our table to check in to see if we needed anything. I literally had to gesture to other waiters/employees to ask for drinks and chips refill - at least 3 times. We waited for chips refill for at least 15mins. The frustrating thing is that I was watching her just walking around. So it wasn't like she was busy managing other tables. It was literally her just choosing not to come check in with us. The waitress was not polite. For me, the service makes the place, no matter how good the food is. As a result, I will not be returning to Gran Electrica. My advice - if you're okay with bad service at restaurants, then I'd recommend because the food is good.

Got take out. Mushroom quesadillas were small and tasteless. Vegetarian tacos were barely seasoned, barely cooked pieces of cauliflower and squash. The guac and salsa tasted good. Pork tacos were tasty, but 2 for $17. Terribly overpriced...I would never go back. We had 2 orders of tacos and 3 quesadillas, guac and chips and salsa. It was over $100. Hugely disappointing for a family who need to eat gluten free.

Gran Electrica will not disappoint you to say the least. Their fresh produce and creative dishes keep you wanting more, their setting gives you a meal of peace, and their service from each and every employee is as refreshing as their food. Not to say that the service in terms of kitchen to table is as fast as it gets. Not only will you be so wrapped up in the vibe of the restaurant as a whole, but the food will place you in a state of rest. I personally always get one order of the Chicken Tacos and one of the Fish Tacos. The Chicken Tacos are juicy and zesty, and the Fish Tacos are fresh and crunchy. And do not even get me started on the Guacamole which does not stop to through me off my feet with its creamy texture in combination with the Pickled Onions. You will be more than happy you chose to go to Gran Electrica, and enjoy every second!

I cannot heap enough love on Gran Electrica. If you are looking for a place to host your next party, this is your place. Seriously. I had to plan a rehearsal dinner in Brooklyn from out of state during Covid and when I found this place and started to communicate with Victoria, I felt like I won the lottery. From beginning to end, Victoria was responsive and available and earned my complete faith. By the time the night arrived, I didn't feel like I had to worry about anything. The food was amazing, the venue was amazing, the staff was great - honestly, I wouldn't change a thing. Except maybe my niece hitting on the bartender. I might change that. As far as price, it wasn't cheap but relative to the many other places I looked at, the price was very reasonable. We planned in the beginning for 90 and ended up with 64 - everyone fit comfortably, the outdoor courtyard was so lovely, a beautiful October night - our guests had a great time and we really wouldn't change a thing. And if you're just looking to eat Mexican food and not a place to host your next party, the food was great. And no, I'm not related to anyone who works there. Just a happy mother of the groom. Thanks, Victoria and team!

Gran Electrica is one of the first places I've ventured out to since NYC restaurants started opening back up. The staff followed Covid safe practices - were all masked up, tables truly 6 ft apart, constant sanitizing of spaces and menus. I felt very safe and comfortable. The drinks and tacos were excellent. The back patio is open, calming, and relaxing.

I'm only giving this place 4 stars, because our experience here was mixed. The positives: The decor and atmosphere is really cute. Laid back vibe and great music. The outdoor seating was great. We got the Baja fish tacos and the quesadillas, highly recommend!! The negatives: The service was VERY slow. On top of that the staff wasn't all that friendly and seemed mostly annoyed. We got an extra order of the veggie tacos thinking they'd be as good as the rest of what we got, but we were disappointed. Overall, good place for food. Definitely check out. But just don't get your hopes up too much for the staff to match the open, friendly atmosphere the place offers.

Very nice upscale Mexican. Tacos were excellent, salad was great. Pretty expensive, but not bad considering where it is. The area around the bar was pretty noisy, but we ate in a room in the back that was pretty quiet. Service was informal but good.

Great spot in Dumbo with a cool shady garden perfect for those humid NYC summer days. Not far from the Brooklyn Bridge so a perfect stop if that's part of your itinerary during a visit. The cocktails and food were excellent - vibrant Mexican flavours with plenty of kick. We were very pleased with the service too. A great find and we hope to return next time we are in the city.

Been here twice before, and it was excellent. This time things weren't so good. Prices are much higher and the quality has dropped. Still, very tasty mexican. Drinks list (read beers) was very poor & disappointing. Service was also varied, even the the waiter was good. Beware, if it's cold don't sit near the back door.

We met our niece here for dinner on a recent trip to NYC. Food, and drinks were outstanding. Flavors were solid in both. The margarita de Pepino is nice with a cucumber softened kick. Guacamole is very good, and I highly recommend the pescado tacos. Our evening was topped off with pudin de chocolate with a very nice port. Yum. We will revisit the next time we are back in the City.

The vegetarian tacos were simply outstanding. But our waiter had his own agenda and it was difficult to get his attention a number of times. The staff in general were very helpful with our paraplegic friend.

Love this place. The bar, the restaurant section and the outdoor section. It is continuously good and never disappoints. Service is always attentive and the drinks are dangerously delicious. The menu is good for picky and adventurous eaters, as there as some interesting dishes. Great for a date night or girls night. Ambiance is laid back and cool. Great Mexican spot in a kind of touristy area.
