What's not to say that everyone else has covered? Except- I
What's not to say that everyone else has covered? Except- I actually recommend coming here and eating alone. Come as soon as they open, sit at the bar, order a drink and a meal. The hostess and my bartender were so warm and friendly. I got special attention because it didn't get so busy at that bar yet (give it 30 mins and it will). Michelin star restaurants can sometimes give a pretentious vibe but this restaurant felt very homey. You can tell the staff enjoys working there and enjoys who they work with. At least the staff I witnessed. And of course the food is one of the best meals I've had this year. I can't wait to go back and try something new.

Honestly I don't think I can put into words how amazing
Honestly I don't think I can put into words how amazing this place is. The staff is wonderful, friendly and informative, as soon as you walk into the place you feel relaxed and joyful. It's bright, clean and beautiful. I wish I took more photos of my food but everything was absolutely delicious. These are the beet "chorizo" tacos pictured and even if you enjoy meat in tacos, you will LOVE these. Extremely flavorful! We just stumbled upon this place randomly for brunch and I am so thankful! We will be back during the summer for the patio!
Each dish had depth of flavor, from the mango/peanuts snacks to the entrees to the flourless chocolate cake dessert to even the espresso. awesome people & service. Really enjoyed sitting at chefs counter.

We ordered the tuna tostada (so delicious!!), lamb and swordfish tacos for 2 people. I came on a Monday night and was able to get seated immediately without a reservation. Service was great and aesthetic was really cute. I wouldn't come back again because the food seemed a bit underwhelming for the price - prefer getting authentic street tacos!

Run of the mill Mexican food with interesting condiments
Run of the mill Mexican food with interesting condiments (dipping sauces) that add more value to the food than anything else. Flank steak tacos is the dish of choice but overall place has a Michellin Star which is a little hard to believe. $17 a dish. 3.25/5 stars as a lunch spot.

It's the perfect spot to grab some micheladas and share
It's the perfect spot to grab some micheladas and share dishes with your group, which allows you to sample a variety of options. I was thoroughly impressed with all the tacos we tried, including the vegetarian ones. However, the standout dish for me was the punta verde cesar - a unique and flavorful creation that I had never tasted before. It consisted of grilled lettuce with Caesar dressing, and it was absolutely delicious. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great Mexican food and a fun atmosphere to share with friends.Price: $60 (one drink, tip included).

My friend and I came here for dinner and ended up with the conclusion that Oxomoco is trendy, yummy, a lil overpriced but still worth a visit. +black sesame horchata: yum! Loved this delicious drink and thought it was a fun mix of cultures+salsas: really recommend getting the salsas. Good variety and fun to share+mango with chili: nice palate cleanser to have on the side and snack on but not a necessity+tuna tostada: my friend's favorite! Really fantastic tuna with this delicious marinade, creamy avo, and on top of this crunchy tostada. Must get. +Caesar: a must! Smoky and crunchy and creamy and salty. Such an amazing salad+sweet potato: biggggg miss for us. Not sure if it was the sweet potato or maybe the odd textures+lamb tacos: I'm def not saying anything new when I tell you these are bombbbb. I liked adding the salsas on top :)+chocolate cake: super heavy cake but really delicious. Definitely recommend getting to at least tryWould love to come back and try some other things. I think I left the meal feeling a bit out of sorts bc of alllll the tortilla we ate but that's on us lmao. Our server was attentive, kind, and quick. Enjoyed how nice the space felt as well!

I have been eyeing this spot for quite some time and today
I have been eyeing this spot for quite some time and today I finally got to try! Right off the bat, I was surprised by how relaxed the place was. The interior was beautiful and reminded me of the restaurants I visited during a trip to Mexico City. My expectations for the food were very high, everything was delicious but I'd personally give it a 4.5/5. We started off with the chilaquiles, which I absolutely loved! Then I tried the grilled celeriac tacos which I enjoyed very much, but didn't wow me. My partner got the arrachera flank steak tacos, which I tried and liked.For drinks I got the guava margarita with added spice and it was amazing. Finally for dessert I got the carrot cake, which was tasty.Service was great overall and our server was very helpful and attentive.

3.5 stars. I expected better to be honest. Didn't try anything with meat bc vegetarian. Cute place though and good horchata

All of the food, the drinks, the sauces, 10/10.
But our server, John B was a 15/10, a gracious perfectionist who made sure we had the best dining experience I've had in years!
Cocktails, delicious. Ambiance, so nice. Food however, tasteless. Shrimp tacos need seasoning. The chicken was incredibly dry. They have so much opportunity to make this place a home run, but the food was like eating paper- tasteless. Especially as a Latina, I was just expecting so much more.
😒
Surprised this place received a Michelin Star.
Even after booking a reservation, the table was not ready. Beautifully decorated interior. Prices are higher than your average taco shop, but the tacos were all unique. We started with a fried tortilla with several dipping sauces, which was flavorful and went well with the tacos as well. Each order of taco comes with 2 servings. 3 tacos per person was fulfilling. The arrachera flank steak taco was the showstopper with charred thinly sliced steak, cubed cheese and salsa which all paired perfectly. Flavors were smoky and delicious.

Flavorful and creative tacos
I visited oxomoco for a friend’s birthday dinner. The food was very flavorful, especially the sauces used on the tacos. Oxomoco had tasty vegetarian options. Out of the 5 dishes we tried the sweet potato tlayuda and Pollo a las brazas were our favorites. I was very impressed by the layers of flavor and savoriness of the sweet potato tlayuda. We were a bit skeptical about the patio seating since it’s cold out ( indoor dining was booked) but the restaurant provides a heated and enclosed patio that’s well insulated. I will definitely return.

miglior messicano di New York

What can I say - book a table! Tasty, well prepared and fantastically served food. Great cocktails and value The Paloma I had was amazing and we had the most wonderful lunch here Atmosphere and service - brilliant
🤮
Worst Customer Service ever. Don’t host an event here!
Worst customer service ever. Want to host a Rehearsal dinner there. Are 8 emails kindly requesting information enough? Try calling them and always getting a voicemail and unsurprisingly, the mailbox is always full. We are also from Mexico and it shames us that you project that level of low service. To all readers please bear note that that is not the normal case. Don’t know what happened to Oxomoco… the arrogance of success? Lost us as customers.

Michelin Star For Food, Perhaps, But Not For Service
We picked this restaurant for our son's 21st birthday based on the stellar reviews and the Michelin star. We called ahead to have a dessert ready for our celebration and were seated in the patio when we arrived. The spicy margaritas, and especially the version with Mezcal, were excellent. We had a range of starters that were also top notch, especially the tuna tartare with caviar and the various salsas that were served with crispy and tasty full-sized tortillas. We ordered our mains and that's when the service essentially disappeared. The food was delivered by staff other than our server and we had to ask to get our server's attention. More on that later. The main courses of lamb tacos and chicken were excellent. The fish taco was a bit more ordinary. The fried rice with the chicken and the beef tartare were very good as well. And now back to our deteriorating service. It took 15 minutes for our gloved server to appear and clear our table after we had finished eating. We waited further and again had to request our server. When she finally reappeared she apparently had no idea of our birthday dessert request. My wife then got up and spoke to another person to (re)request a birthday dessert. After sorting that out at the reception area, dessert was finally served with a candle. After another delay and now being the only party seated in the patio area, I requested our check from the person at the check-in area and explained that our server had gone missing multiple times. Rather than the manager coming to our table, our server then returned to confront me about my complaint stating 'it was not my intention ignore you'. Interesting response. Anyway, we have several other top New York city restaurants lined up for the rest of our trip and fully expect much better experiences.

Not your Grandma's Mexican resturant
This is one of our son's favorite restaurants in Brooklyn; he shared his find with us. For the 3 of us we ordered 2 of the LAMB BARBACOA TACOS (son's favorite), SHRIMP CEVICHE TOSTADA (my favorite), SOYA MARINATED TUNA TOSTADA, and CHIPS AND SALSA (the husband insisted and we all enjoyed experimentling with the different salsas). For dessert, there was a basil flavored custard with raspberries which our son enjoyed very much. For drinks, we enjoyed the UNA NOCHE SIN FIN and the CLASSIC MARGARITA. The staff was friendly, professional and worked well together. Our table was ready for our 6:15 reservation.
🙂
Creative and delicious food!
The food and drinks were delicous and original. Everything we ordered was great. However, why I did not rate this five stars was due to the fact that we felt we were rushed. We ordered our appetizers and were not yet sure of our main course. The waiter advised us that they prefer if we would order all at once. We assured the waiter we would decide shortly, we could see a manager watching over when we would order the main course. I felt that this took away from the experience as this is not a cheap restaurant where you want to eat and run.
🤢
Mexican restaurant in Greenpoin Brooklyn.
Very nice looking restaurant a lot of seating area outside that's also looking very inviting. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Some choice of different vine and small amount of house cocktails. Food we got was not that positive. Peanuts is just peanuts nothing spectacular. Pints Verde Caesar salad with no flavor and very little dressing that I have to ask for more it was very dry. Oxomoco Guacamole was just avocado no lime no seasoning and Soya Marinated Tuna Tostada was not bad but super small and looking super lonely on big plate not even any garnish just boring. For price they charge you can find something much better in the neighborhood.
🤢
I am so sad to give this place 2 stars.
My sister has been talking about this place for weeks and we finally went with a small group. The waitstaff were all really nice, however we had 4 different ones. It seemed disorganized and a little chaotic. We ordered the chicken... 44$ for half of a chicken and it was really, really dry. No one finished the piece they took from the plate. The skin was soggy. The rice that came with it was just spicy and so oily. The chips that came with the 17$ salsas were stale. The whole table was disappointed and noticed the same things. The rest of the dishes we received were... not great. The entire meal was really disappointing. Definitely not Michelin star tasting. It wasn't worth it for the price, it wouldn't be worth it for half the price.
😍
This place has a nice little vibe.
Not your typical Mexican spot, the food elevated. The gauc is amazing, the smoked tomatoes is a nice twist. I had the Lamb Barbacoa tacos. Surprisingly filling! I also ordered the frozen Paloma because of course, it was a typical hot summer afternoon.
😍

One of the best meals I had, great service, unique and surprisingly large dishes, and not expensive at all. Highly recommend

Wonderful spot for dinner, a little noisy for my preference
Wonderful spot for dinner, a little noisy for my preference but the food makes it worth it. Chips & salsa is amazing; they give you a variety (5 salsas) from mild to very spicy. The beet chorizo tacos are so delicious, an incredible vegan option.

I picked Oxocomo for many reasons, one, was celebrating a birthday, two, we were en NY for the weekend and three, a Michelin star restaurant. Wait, what?! Yes, I wanted a special place for a special date and a special person. What an experience! Our server Peter was delightful! Took the time to explain the menu and made recommendations. Very engaging. There was not a minute that we did not see a person by our table, replenishing water, cleaning or simply asking how we were doing. No wonder why they received their Michelin star. Amazing job Oxocomo team! So tasteful and delicate at the same time, Elegant but simple. A great combination and very well measured. Oxocomo we will come back!
😍
You've got to be joking! I'm only allowed to give Oxomocco
You've got to be joking! I'm only allowed to give Oxomocco 5 stars? Ridiculous. Oxomocco deserves all of the stars in the Milky Way. Oxomocco is equal parts hipster and comfy, with walls bleached by the sun, soft ambient light, and greenery galore. Peter, our server, and Catarina, the GM, were simply lovely, like golden violets in a little flower pot. The kitchen at Oxomoco is its beating heart. Delicious food, beautifully presented, and kissed by fire with flavors I've never had before. The thick crispy corn tortillas tasted more like corn than corn and the eye popping smoked strawberry chilled granita was perfect for patio dining on a warm summer evening. Cocktails are inventive, classic, and refreshing with a bottomless array of tequila and mezcal. For Mexican food aficionados who are familiar with Cosme in Manhattan, head over to Oxomoco in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Your taste buds with explode with complex and unusual flavors, spiked with serrano chilis and a dusting of magic, all for a price that won't make your heart skip a beat. "Oxomocco es Comida de Los Dioses! Gracias!"

Decided to try Oxomoco after hearing very high regards
Decided to try Oxomoco after hearing very high regards about it from a friend's coworker. I will say the food here is pretty good, but I won't say it's worth the price. My friend and I ordered a couple of dishes to share -- I've included photos of the Lamb Barbacoa Tacos and the Soya Marinated Tuna Tostado. As you can see, the portions are rather small, and they come with quite the price tag. But, I guess that's what you should expect when going to a restaurant that has a Michelin star. Overall the food was tasty, service was decent, and the vibes were great. I'd probably come back here another time or two for an occasion, but definitely not somewhere I'd frequent or go out of my way to recommend.
😍
I'm amazed by everything Oxomoco has to offer.
5/5 by 👻
@G B. on 07/03/2022
From service, to dish presentation, interior design to the wood fire open kitchen. Everything down to the smallest detail is so well thought out. The guacamole was probably one of the best guacs I've had, and the tuna tostada flavor will live with me forever, not to forget mentioning that beautiful grilled pollo served with the fried rice and yummy tortillas. I didn't drink tonight but I could tell by the drink presentation I definitely missed out! And to end our dinner, Chef sent out 2, not just the one dessert I order but was generous enough to send a complimentary chocolate cake dessert to our table which Was something out of this world! The whole experience was incredible!
😍
Such a unique dining experience.
We traveled all the way from the sunny San Fernando Valley in CA to New York, just to check out this Michelin Star rated restaurant recommended by Bobby Flay on Food Network. We tried a variety of dishes from their smoked dried mango, a guava margarita (glass was rimmed with tajin), a salsa flight (basically) with delicious house-made tostadas. The salsas were all delicious!!! We tried the Caesar Salad which was so good - the romaine lettuce was grilled and it added such beautiful depth of flavor, honestly I could go on and on...it was an experience that was a highlight of our trip. This wasn't your usual Mexican food but a creative take on dishes done with finesse. Highly recommend!
🙂
Great restaurant, great manager, subpar staff
First, HUGE kudos to the manager for helping us secure a reservation! We had a sudden change of plans through no fault of our own and they were awesome at trying to get us in. We also loved the atmosphere/styling of the restaurant. But it's really about the food. Overall, it was a great meal. I loved my fish taco (may have been a special) - it was excellent. And the chips/salsa were great. The smoked mango wasn't my favorite though - just seemed a bit like spicy dried fruit and the desserts weren't standouts. But we would return for the other overall enjoyable entrees. That said, what was disappointing was our server. After he took our order, he was pretty much non-existent. We had to flag people to bring us water and drink refills, silverware, and honestly anything else we wanted. I actually wondered if something had happened and he left or our table got switched to another server. Ultimately, I'd catch a glimpse of him, but not at our table. The other thing is we ordered a meat entree that took about an hour to come to the table. We had eaten all other food and were finished but had to keep waiting for that one dish. We asked about it because we honestly thought they just forgot when he said it took extra time. But that should've been told to us when we ordered it. An hour for a dish to arrive is pretty lengthy if all other dishes are long finished. Probably just an off night for that server. Again - we'd go back no question. And super thanks to management for making it happen.

Amazing, order that Tuna!
Before going to NY did a bit of research and got excited for Oxomoco and was not disappointed! The tuna tosata was honestly one of the best thing I have eaten. Also, had great seats sitting looking into the kitchen. If just two of you would recommend trying to get these. Was awesome seeing the chefs at work but was hard not to order everything!
When planning my trip to New York I decided to book in advance a table in Oxomoco after researching a few options in NY Michelin Guide. The place didn’t disappoint! Food was pretty laid back but extremely tasty - the chefs manage to give a special and unique touch to classics of the Mexican cuisine.
😒
Wi will not visit the restaurant again.
Unfortunately, neither the food nor the restaurant lived up to our expectations. The food was ok but nothing sensational. The restaurant is quite loud and noisy so the overall impression is average, means that we will not visit the restaurant again.
