Inspirado en Marcela, mi mamá, este restaurante es un homenaje a su forma de cocinar, de cuidar, de reunir a la familia alrededor de la mesa. Cada platillo lleva el sabor de su cocina Poblana, sencilla pero llena de alma. Aquí encontrarás lo mejor de Puebla/Mexico : el sazón del comal, la calidez del hogar, el orgullo de nuestras raíces, y un toque coqueto que la haría sonreír. Este lugar no solo es un restaurante. Es una cocina con corazon, cada bocado cuenta una historia y cada aroma te abraza como lo haria ella, Doña Marcela ♡ This restaurant is a tribute to my mother Marcela – the heart of our home and soul behind every dish, Every plate tells her story and every bite feels like home.

Everything about this place was perfect – from the warm service to the cozy atmosphere. The food was absolutely incredible – fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The tacos, rice and beans, mole, and appetizers were all bursting with authentic taste, and the drinks were just as amazing (served so creatively too!). We also tried the flan for dessert, and even though I forgot to snap a picture, it was the sweetest ending to such a delicious meal.

A special shoutout to JJ, our waiter/bartender, who went above and beyond with his service – super attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this spot if you’re craving truly authentic and mouthwatering Mexican food – can’t wait to come back! ✨

Marcela is easily one of the best Mexican spots in Brooklyn and slept on. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and homey. There are details throughout the space that are so unique – this is a small business you’d want to support

The food was outstanding. Every dish tasted authentic. I usually rate whether a place is authentic or based on their salsas, and this place did not disappoint – ask for their salsa macha if you like spice.

The drinks were just as impressive. Strong, but not overbearing.

When we arrived, the owner was extremely attentive and sat us right away. He took our order, welcomed us as it was our first time and clearly cared about us as well as all of his customers in the restaurant. The tacos were FANTASTIC (and I almost never order them and generally don’t really like them but I wanted to try them and they definitely didn’t disappoint). We were there on a Saturday night and the entire restaurant was having so much fun! Karaoke and music, the ambience was great. The singer made the whole restaurant feel like we were all at a wedding or a party together. It was awesome. We loved it. We will definitely be back regularly!

*This review is only for the Elote and the Pastor Burger*

Marcela Cocina Mexicana is a very cute, quaint, and warm restaurant with pretty decors and aesthetics that reflects the vibe of the culture. It has a nice setup for whether you prefer an intimate or a more social dining experiences. The staff was nice and friendly, but perhaps because it was during the afternoon, he was often nowhere to be found (i.e., I had to go to the kitchen area to ask for the check); not a big deal but definitely not ideal.

Now onto the food which I am confident they are capable of improving:

The elote was perfectly charred, but the dressing on it was severely lacking as evident in the pictures below. Even after trying my best to spread the dressing all around the corn, a big portion of it was still just plain empty. So if you like eating a regular grilled corn, this may be decent, but I found it overly plain and disappointing since it wasn’t like your typical elote where it was seasoned all around.

The Pastor Burger was also unfortunately underwhelming. The interior of the burger was quite dry and the waiter did not ask how I’d like the burger cooked, so it was served well-done. The beef mixture of the patty had some herbs in it but no onions, which made the interior very dry and tough. The al pastor on top of the beef patty was also tough and chewy, which coupled together with the dry beef patty required more effort into chewing rather than enjoying. The guacamole on top was also a bit lacking and perhaps adding some more on top could’ve helped with its dryness. The grilled pineapple was perhaps the best part because it was grilled with a nice and not-too-overpowering-char, but it also included bits of the core which provided a tougher texture compared to its soft and sweet outer fleshy part.

Overall, this was unfortunately not the greatest experience and I was disappointed that I could not experience the pleasant experience other diners/reviewers were able to have. I cannot comment on the other dishes since I haven’t had them yet, and they may very well be more flavorful and enjoyable. I believe Marcela Cocina Mexicana has the potential of being a great Mexican restaurant for locals around the area, and I hope they are receptive to my minor critiques on how they can improve the abovementioned dishes.

Thank you so much for reading and best of luck! (:
