Castro's Restaurant

castro's is one of those legendary neighborhood spots that only seems to get the recognition it deserves in the neighborhood. i wish there were michelin stars for places like this, reasonably priced restaurants that give you phenomenal service no matter the time of year. the menu is huge and all of it is good. i especially like the breakfast here; the coffee is good, and i'll get a breakfast torta and slather it in both of the salsas one after another. what a restaurant.

We had appetizers and cocktails which included Tostones w/ garlic sauce and a side of Guacamole. I also ordered the spicy Pork Empanada and my friend had the Fish Taco. The cocktails ( Corona and Mango Margarita) hit the spot! This family owned restaurant has been servicing the Clinton Hill community for decades. Run, don't walk if you like some delightful Mexican food!

Good local Mexican place. Very authentic! Friendly service. Open kitchen. Can see how they prepare the food. Very extensive menu! Reasonable prices! Lots of lunch specials and other combo meals. Everything is made to order! Seating area is cozy! Nicely decorated! Front of the store is where the open kitchen is. So it can get hot. Back of the restaurant is cooler. Would recommend this place!

One of a personal favorites for any meal of the day. The dishes are more true to traditional home cooked Mexican food. The hot sauces range from mild to spicy, but not too spicy. The cemita is a great quick bite that consists of special sesame baked rolls and stuffed with your choice of meat (steak, chorizo, chicken). It sandwiches lettuce, salsa, avocado, beans, chipotle, and special Oaxacan cheese. The tamales are also tasty and standard to traditional Mexican tamales that families make at home. Give any of their meals a try, you won't be disappointed!
