"Was craving Mexican food but wanted something new and closer toward home. It was a cold, windy and rainy day when we came.The host/server was extremely hospitable. He was very friendly and outgoing. Since we were the only table dining indoor on such a cold rainy day, we had his undivided attention. Great service, attention to details (refills and extra napkins without even asking and just an awesome vibe.He was very knowledgeable about the menu and had great recommendations. We asked the differences in some items that were familiar food and not familiar (which is why we came to learn and explore new food ... we also asked for the authentic food vs the well known American-ize food so that we can understand the cuisine/food abit more. He sold me on his favorite dish which he said, it is an acquired taste ad it was more of a stew and not many Americans would like the taste. I ended up loving it!Hubby and I came for lunch (lunch date! And left very satisfied and happy. We ordered chips with guacamole that also comes with salsa (server brough us hot sauce as well because hot sauce on chips is yum . Ordered:*Large Chips with Guacamole *Taco (3- steak and mixed on corn tortilla *Bistec Ala Mexican*2 Cokes The Bistec Ala Mexican is more of a stew, the server says combining the rice with the spicy tomato is the way to go. Toward the end, I just dump the rest of the rice and beans straight into the bowl and mixed it. It was very lovely and spicy.I would definitely recommend and come back. Both the food quality and service was amazing!"

"Went to dinner at Mexico Authentico on Friday night. A high-quality Mexican spot with lots of unique margarita flavors and good food options.Quality: Solid Mexican food and delicious drinks. I had two types of margaritas, the Spicy Mango Margarita and the Habanero Cucumber Margarita. Both were tasty, but the flavor pairing in the Habanero Cucumber Margarita was unique and delicious. For food the Steak Nachos are very good, appreciate how they were layered to ensure each bite comes with lots of flavor. The Carnitas Burrito was fine, the weakest of our food items as it was a bit bland. The Camarones Tacos were excellent, loved the mango salsa to add some freshness.Quantity: Large portions of everything and strong drinks.Value: $12-$15 for Cocteles. $17 for Steak Nachos. $14 for the Carnitas Burrito. $12 for Camarones Tacos.Ambiance: Mexico Authentico is a Mexican restaurant located in Park Slope. They have a small outdoor patio, which is always decorated, and a small indoor dining area. Tables line the left wall, and a small bar can be found on the right. The walls are covered with different flashy decorations and Spanish music played loudly in the background. One large television hung towards the back, but was not on during our visit.Crowd: Very busy for Friday night dinner. Felt like the rain kept a lot of people local and looking for a place to enjoy a drink.Service: Friendly and adaptable staff.Parking: Limited parking in residential area."
