A few weeks ago, I visited Bar Bruno, a charming Mexican Bistro that knows how to play with flavors. With each bite, I found myself already plotting my next visit.
Bar Bruno is the perfect neighborhood spot and a MUST-VISIT. While I won't wax poetic about the decor, the ambiance cradles you in its warm embrace. For an after-work cocktail, an impromptu date night, or simply a delightful meal—Bar Bruno is a beautiful option. Oh, and did I mention they serve brunch?
The staff embodies warmth, extending a welcome that feels like a hug in the form of impeccable service—the food dances on your palate, a perfect companion to your choice of libation.
On my first visit, I indulged in a taco trio featuring steak, fish, and shrimp, a true palate pleaser. This time around, we explored their dinner menu. We initiated the feast with Guacamole and Plantains, then ventured onto the Chopped Cheese Wraps, Burger Tacos, and Quinoa Veggie Burgers. For the grand finale—we ended on a sweet note with the Flan and Dessert Nachos.
Guacamole is not my usual pick, but the pumpkin seeds made it a flavorful and adventurous choice. The Plantains was the perfect harmony of sweet and savory, transcending a mere appetizer to become the ultimate side dish.
The Chopped Cheese Wrap deserves a standing ovation. A mouthwatering blend of pepper jack cheese and onions—makes it an absolute must-order. The Quinoa Veggie Burger, a vegetarian delight, tasted so good that I momentarily forgot it was meatless. But the crown jewel of the evening? The Burger Tacos—imagine the perfect burger and a delightful taco having a culinary love affair. And guess what? The French fries are in the tacos. Genius.
And the dessert? The Flan and Dessert Nachos brought our memorable meal to a sweet conclusion.
While dinner was an absolute delight, I'd gladly return for the margaritas. These concoctions are in a league of their own, perfectly balanced with a burst of flavor that avoids the pitfall of excessive sweetness. Passion Fruit and Strawberry were our picks, and they left us craving more.
This visit to Bar Bruno was nothing short of a wonderful, unforgettable experience, and I'm eagerly anticipating my next visit with their tempting menu.
I don’t ever get frozen margaritas but here I did. Right out of the machine at the front of the bar. It must have been made with fresh lime juice which married perfectly texture of the slush. I would have supplemented with a shot of tequila but we were starting a big night so I held back. The spicy salt rim was the perfect addition. I’m definitely going back for more. BTW it’s the perfect place to wait for a table at Untable across the street :)
I was heading to Mccarren park and stopped by Bar Bruno Thursday afternoon for a quick lunch. The food definitely exceeded any expectations for tacos in Greennpoint- some of the best tacos I had in NYC! Specifically was blown away by the shrimp tacos and the aioli that accompanies them. Justin behind the bar was super friendly and helpful while giving us space to chilll and enjoy. He recommended the churro pancake tacos which we had to get- and he was absolutely on point. It was my day off so I had a margarita-- a classic cocktail done RIGHT. Overall I love it here and will definitely be back to try more brunch items.
The Birria Pizza is top tier! Like definitely the best thing I’ve had in a while. They have good options for kids: tator tots, hot dogs, etc. Great family friendly location. Almost every one who worked there is upper friendly but I’d say that you might find that your server will change throughout your time.
Very nice restaurant and nice outdoor dining area! We have steak toco and quesadillas, guacamole and wines! Very delicious and with decent price. It’s usually packed during the weekend but weekday is no so busy, easily walked in a get a seats. They have indoor seatings as well.
Bartender was chill. Didn't want to improvise and make me a drink. Ended up having a customer recommend something. The corn was tasty but didn't seem fresh. Lastly, the kale dip had great flavor but a little too watery. I would absolutely come here again and recommend everyone try it. Staff is very friendly. My complaints might not be the same as what others feel. Still, it's definitely 4 out of 5 stars for me, and I can't wait to go back for other dishes.

We love fish tacos! When we saw fish tacos on the menu - We had to get them! And they did not disappoint. We ordered their 3 fish tacos made with Battered Mahi, Pico de Gallo, Radish, and Chipotle Avocado Tomatillo. The fish was light, tasty, crunchy, and well-seasoned. The Radish gave more crunch to it, the chipotle gave that nice spicy kick to it. Overall, Will come back again! Also for their nachos and guac!
Had one one of the flavored frozen margaritas and aren't that good, but the service from the team are superb which make a difference.
Didn't order food to eat but looks and smells really good from the table beside me whom did.
Good food and great service. Location is good based on proximity to places to stay while visiting family.
Update 11/23: still the same great service. Some new things on menu for their anniversary year.
Very friendly and accommodating staff. There is plenty of indoor seating, and a few outdoor table seating.
Happy hour drinks are offered on weeknights. The servers provide gratis chips and salsa. The pitcher of sangria was tasty but unfortunately very small pitcher.
I love these nachos. They’re probably some of the best I’ve ever had.
The people in this neighborhood can be so entitled and annoying, but you’d never guess it bothers the staff, they’re so polite and kind in the face of rudeness. Special shout out to the server with the big beard and full arm sleeve tats.
Anyway the tatertots are incredible I felt like a kid again eating them they were so good. Solid bloody Maria and brunch options. Plenty of seating outside.
Come here and don’t let anyone who thinks they’re important cut you in line ✌️
Food was delicious. Service was great and attentive, especially for customized food. Frozen mezcalita was great!
Great service and atmosphere. I bring all my friends not from Brooklyn to BB.
The Neymar Nachos are great and so are the fish tacos. Fun spot to meet for a drink and share a snack. The spice rim on the frozen margs is great, and they’re a great value.
Lots of mosquitos at the tables in the little alcove on Henry but never had a problem with mosquitos at the majority of the tables that are on the Union street side.
Just delicious! Food and drinks are amazing !A must see!
Delicious Mexican and American food! It’s rare to find a place that can do both SO good. I eat here often (both dine in and delivery) and have never been disappointed. Burgers are juicy, fish tacos are tasty, and the wings are fire!!! Also, the margaritas are amazing! Check them out.
