Fatty Daddy Taco

Pretty good tacos! I have gotten the portabella mushroom tacos and the quesadillas here and both are pretty good! Nothing too fancy but they hit the spot. They’re guacamole is really delicious! The rice and beans tend to be a little dry but are pretty good. I wish you could choose brown rice. My friend got the fish tacos and she loved them. This is a great spot to order from. Delivery is usually pretty fast. Prices are very reasonable.

Had a couple of tacos – fish and al pastor. Both were pretty good and service was quick. Cashiers were super nice and they accept cards. Not as good as Burrito Deli, but hey, it’s in my neighborhood and is a billion times better than the now-​defunct OMG Taco.
I’d go back, definitely. Give me some of that sweet, sweet taco action.

I try not to gush too much on reviews. As in my opinion it shows a lack of refined tonality and taste when it comes to good eating. I have tried this new taco joint on Smith Street, and will hold off on further comments till I’ve had a few turns at the wheel. I will say, they make a nice guac and the beans are seasoned, a rarity in these cut rate Mex restaurants that typically cheapen the cuisine to the basest common denominator and expect the populace to feed on their trash.

I think the food is delicious but they need to figure another way to deliver burritos. A hot burrito in an aluminum container makes the burrito steam and the wrap soggy. Hopefully they’ll read this and look into other options.
Have ordered delivery probably about half a dozen times since you guys opened on Smith. Again, love the food — it’s just the tortilla could use some love in an oven for a few minutes to crisp slightly?

When I heard the owners of Layla jones pizza was opening a taco place on Smith St. I was interested, since LJones pizza is very good. But their attempt at Mexican was bit average, not bad, not great.
I had a $ 8 Rice/​bean burrito, which was very basic, and a $ 4 Fish taco which lack flavor (in fact the doubled corn tortilla was the strongest flavor).
One clue that reminded me that they weren’t too authentic was that didn’t sell Horchata (google it, it’s awesome).

I had the chicken tacos, didn’t blow me away. It’s fresh that’s a plus. They move a little slow for me.

I was on my way to rite aid and I was Really in the mood for something quick and then I saw the sign and I couldn’t resist I love Mexican food so I figured I give it a shot very decent prices quick and friendly service definitely coming back here the chicken bowl was amazeballs! But I can’t give it 5 stars because the amount of chicken they put in my eyes wasn’t worth 5 stars but the food was good.

WORST RESTAURANT ON SMITH STREET
How are these guys even still open? First of all, my food took 30 minutes to come out, and when it finally did, I had to send it back because they got my order wrong. 45 minutes later, my food is not out. I wait 13 more minutes, and my food comes out. The tortilla tasted so bland and stale that I might have guessed it was cardboard if I had a blindfold on. When I tasted the chicken, it was so chewy and rubbery that I couldn’t even chew it. And there was bones in it! Possibly the worst eating experience of my life. ONLY ONE STAR!

This place is still awesome.
Just keep in mind: if you’re in a hurry the burritos come out very quickly but tacos can take a while, — especially the fish tacos. The fish tacos are fresh and crispy and very worth it if you don’t mind the long wait (15 – 20 minutes).

Three and Half Stars
I have been to the Park Slope location and it was unbelievably delicious. This new location was good but not at the same level. The place is cool looking. The wait staff was friendly. There is enough seating for a dozen people. I ordered three Tacos: Al Pastor, Carne Asada, and Chorizo. The food took a little bit but not too bad. The Al Pastor was tasty, but the meat lacked in a deep nuanced flavor. The Carne Asada was again cooked well but again didn’t strike my tongue with anything special. The chorizo was crumbly, quasi cold, and not very appetizing. Its weird that all three of my tacos had the same lettuce and bland green salsa. I think I will just go back to the other location.

The steak burrito is amazing it was my first time and they made a great first impression the steak amazingly tender, which shows the quality of the meat, the burrito was huge and the price was good. I eagerly anticipate returning soon.

This place is ok enough, it’s pretty basic. The chips and salsa tasted like they just came from the grocery store and the black beans tasted like they just came out of the can with no seasoning or anything. It wasn’t bad, it just tasted like something I could make myself easily at home with ingredients from Trader Joes. With Dos Toros, Buddy’s Burritos and Lobo nearby I wouldn’t find myself here again. It’s pretty small and there isn’t anything that exciting to draw me back. Nothing horrible, just nothing standout either. meh.

5 stars because I have been 3x and different reasons. 1. Lunch. Yummy quick and fresh. 2. Kid wanted Mexican food. I said I’m not bringing Chipotle to babysitting. Try this. Success and 3. Lots of hungry kids home. Fast and fresh and delicious.
In Brooklyn you rarely get 1 of 3 of these. No wonder other places are dropping like flies. This place is a winner. We will be back and back and order and order.

Nah, these aren’t your typical tiny street tacos. These are flour tortillas laden with generous heaps of whatever meat you got. While the flavors weren’t out of this world, it was still good. And if you’re looking for a quick fix on your taco /​burrito cravings, this place will do it right.
We got the carne asada and pastor and the meat wasn’t dry but it definitely wasn’t super juicy. Our friend got the chips with guacamole, and the guacamole was on point too! The taco’s size is large though, and as a result, I was fine with two tacos. Great for those of you that want the most bang for your buck!
One more thing for you hot sauce heads: They had the green El Yucateco hot sauce, which was a favorite of mine at an old taco joint back in California, so props for that!

Well… My husband is a full blown Mexicano and absolutely loves this spot! Born and raised in Carroll Gardens, this 2^nd business is most definitely welcomed :)

Yum! This place is so good. Simple, fresh Mexican food. The portions are huge– so huge sometimes I don’t order from here if I’m trying to be portion control conscious. The rice is white basmati type which is a bit odd for Mexican, but honestly it works. Only ordered in from here, but atmosphere seems cute and very casual. Definitely a must try!

I love pretty much everything in the menu. The is the second fatty daddy taco location to open in Brooklyn. The original is in park slope and I can tell you this place will not disappoint.
These folks bring that California Mexican style to New York with incredible taste and heat to make any one come back for more. I’m a huge fan of the fish tacos and the chicken burrito.

If anyone ever asked me what’s the best thing I’ve ever ate, the answer would be simple. Grilled Chicken Torta. Foodgasmic, its the most delicious, sandwich that I ever had. Thank you. You gotta big fat fan here!

I’m sorry to write a negative review (and I wanted to give it one star, but can’t bear being that harsh), but I feel that this sort of utter mediocrity needs to stop in Boerum Hill. I understand Fatty Daddy is owned by Layla Jones, a great place and neighborhood institution that I have loved for 10 years, which makes it all the more sad to say how much I disliked this.
It’s not so much that the food quality horrible, its that it obvious the owners are devoid of ANY effort in making an attempt to understand what Mexican food is about before they opportunistically took this location (which once was a decent bar). I get the feeling that they thought «hey, people like Mexican food… It seems easy and we can make some money.»
I’ve been a few times, just to see if I’d see some signs of effort, but each time the food was painfully thoughtless. My first meal there kinda summed it up. My burrito consisted of some super bland, cold-​ish Chorizo, plain BASMATI rice (huh?), some chopped tomato, some chopped romaine lettuce, and the most sorry black beans ever that had absolutely no flavor and tasted as if they were sprinkled in right from the Goya tin. Surrounding this lifeless innards was a massive tortilla that was not even given a touch of heat… again, tasted right from the package.
Is it really that hard to learn how rice is prepared in a Mexican food tradition, is taking the time to cook and flavor beans? (only black beans on offer, FYI, not pinot beans as would seem a logical addition)
No, I didn’t get poisoned, and its not the end of the world, but its a very sad state of affairs when such effortless food is being offered.
Maybe people don’t care and are happy to spend money for this, but Mexican food is an amazing, glorious, and flavorful thing — I’d love it for Fatty Daddy to bother to learn what it’s actually all about. It’s not too late! That rent can’t be cheap, and with this level of food, it’s not going to last without improvements.

At long last! I’ve been to the Fatty Daddy in Park Slope but have been waiting forever for a great taco joint to open closer to me. Very similar idea, and they nail it. I’ve already had the steak tacos and the spicy stewed chicken burrito — both top-​notch — and my kids have devoured the al pastor tacos and chicken quesadilla. And they are tough customers, let me tell you…
We’ve taken out, and eaten there — both times food came quickly and service was great. These are folks who love what they do and it shows. Really happy they’re here.
