Girasol Bakery

If you want authentic tacos late at night this is the place to go. From the baked goods to the tacos and burritos I have no complaints. Reasonable prices for delicious traditional food.

24 hour taco place is as authentic and as good as it gets. The tongue tacos are to die for, and the chorizo is spicy and flavorful. I love coming here for dinner or a late night treat!

Cool spot great mexican food great sandwiches and nice baked goodies there open 24 hour so no matter what time your hungry they open to serve.

24 hour tacos. This is all. What more does a girl need at 3am?

Food and dirty napkins all over the floor and stools! Seriously, can the employees here even make an attempt to keep it clean? I can’t even imagine what the kitchen looks like. (It was completely empty when I was there, so there’s really no excuse.)
Also, my vegetarian burrito was 95% lettuce, 5% tortilla. Gimme a break.

The fact that they are open for 24 hours is amazingly perfect! they make amazing Spanish coffee like no other place within this neighborhood. I’ve had their tacos and burritos and never been disappointed. I’m kind of sad that it took me 2 years of living in this neighborhood before I finally found this venue.

This bakery is open 24 hours and serves up tacos! In this neighborhood, most Mexican delis and bakeries do the same thing!
I would skip most of the baked goods. They are not flavorful enough for my taste, but they are cheap if you want to give it a try!
Now to the tacos. definitely get the chicken tacos. They are the best compared to most other taco places. It’s flavorful and the tacos are big here. However, they top their tacos with lettuce and tomatoes which I don’t like as much compared to onions and cilantro.

Looking for a bakery that was open past 9pm on a Sunday and came upon Girasol Bakery. Got a chocolate cake and a cream puff like pastry. Don’t know the names exactly because the lady in the bakery didn’t know what they were called either. The chocolate cake was dry and and the cream puff like pastry with vanilla filling inside was so so. They make tacos too, but I came there for the pastry which was a disappointment. Maybe the tacos are better…

Late-​night tacos carnitas, two for $ 5… Incredible! Of the five or six tacos offered (chicken, enchilada, carne, lengua, carnita, chorizo), the carnita is far and away the best. Huge portions with cilantro and onions, plus lettuce tomato if requested, The homemade hot sauce is unreal; ask for a side to take home for your scramble eggs the next morning (or afternoon).
THe Cubano and Steak Sandwich are very good but a bit bread-​heavy and pricey at $ 8… Stick to the tostadas, tacos. At times they have pollo guisado (stewed chicken with tortillas, rice and beans… incredible). The girls that serve you are very nice, patiently putting up with droopy-​eyed drunks night after night.

Go for the tacos. Dont be decieved by the store front, it’s not just a bakery. Open late for when you have munchies after you were just at south or Marys bar. Yeah the bakery it’s sub par but the guava pastry is really good and worth spoiling yourself with. Taco de languas is my favorite and the hot sauce is worth asking for.

24 hours, right near the bars, tacos, tortas and dessert. This place is pretty much the best. Everything is standard issue good, nothing to criticize.

So I walk by this place all the time. While it looks like an 80s style cake place with god-​awful sweet looking cakes, I read a few reviews on Unilocal thinking that this place had good tacos. Well, a friend and I went in there late at night and ended up getting beef tacos. There were no prices listed, but she charged my friend $ 6 for 2 soft tacos. I think I expected something super crazy good, but it was just good. Good enough to go in again? I am willing to try this place again!

Super friendly staff and absolutely delish desserts. Keeping South Slope enjoyable!

If you are drunk or high and is in the South Slope area… This is your place!
I stumbled into Girasol with a few friends after a dinner in Sunset Park. We noticed that this place had fresh baked goodies. We were in the mood for dessert and we saw that they had Tres Leches. A good slice with whipped cream and a cherry costed us… $ 3!!!
Did I mention that I love Mexican Food and Mexican Bakeries?
What makes this place even more great is that they are…
OPEN 24hours!!!
Come here anytime and be satisfied!

Typically, «grade pending» on the NYC health code grading sign has me pull an immediate u turn and head the other way. However, I’ve heard great things about this place and decided to pull my panties up and go for it… damn glad I did because these were some kick ass tacos. They come loaded with lettuce and tomato but we’re also very liberal with the meat portions. Very, very good tacos. I’ll be back, regardless of the pending grade.

This place is great for late night drunken munchies. The tortas and tacos are delicious, authentic and really affordable. The ladies behind the counter are extremely nice but their English is not the best so it helps if you know some Spanish when ordering. The baked goods are not the greatest so just avoid them.

White people in Jirasol! I lived down the block and mostly did not see you!
So 90%-95% percent of the clientele here was mexican and didn’t speak english. I would come here at 1 – 4 AM three-​four times a week and get tortas. Oh the tortas. Tacos good too.
I haven’t read the reviews yet but my friend from California said the tacos were «pretty good». A rave, Unilocal!A rave!
But I give it 5 and not maybe 4 (the food is 4, very good but there is better in Sunset Park and other places in Brooklyn/​Queens/​NYC and I haven’t even been to some of those places) because it is 24 hours and everyone who worked the counter there was beautifully nice. Those two reasons are why you walk out of Quarter or new Freddy’s or whatever the fuck make a right around 2:30−5 AM and go to Jirasol.
I just saw one review talk about a bathroom. There isn’t one in Jirasol unless for 2 – 3 years there was one and the wonderful non english speaking Mexican ladies behind the counter were hiding one.
Well this makes me feel most uncertain now.
Oh, if you go, the bakery items are mostly ok/​good/​not great. The tacos/​tortas and… I forgot about this! Five stars! Get the egg sandwiches and combine that with taco/​torta/​something else they had that is great tasting and I am forgetting it.
This review had a few too many exclamation points! I am aware. Now go! Here! Which is Jirasol. In South Slope.
Edit-​The Pernil Torta!!!

AMAZING coffee.
Scary men there late at night at the bar-​thing. Little creepy. Definitely not an eat-​in spot, but they have amazing food.
I’m a vegetarian but got drunk, ate a torta cubano that made me want to start eating meat again. The mix of mayo, fresh lettuce and tomato, whatever meat was in it and the bombed out bread made me finish it and then take my boyfriend’s half when he went to the bathroom.
DELISH.
If you ever want a hannah montana cake for your kiddie, this is the place to GO! I’ll also probably get my wedding cake there. Just kidding.

Best taco shop around. They make it fast quick, yummy, hot & spicy, never nasty. Cheap and filling. They also sell bake goods here, their so-​so, not the greatest, but I only love their tacos. Their customer service is off da hook, friendly señoritas behind the counter, smiling and ready to assist you. And the best part is that they’re open 24 hours.

There exists a large range of places that exist somewhere between three and four stars. I’m going to be nice to these guys though, as they have some good stuff going for them.
First of all, they’re open late. This is important in a neighborhood that doesn’t have a lot of late-​night eating options.
Their tacos are decent in taste. I don’t know the name of it, but I’ve seen a lot of places that use this sort of pre-​cooked meat that is put on to the griddle and cooked up. It always tastes decently, but never as good as fresh. But at midnight on a Wednesday, one can only be so picky. The fact that they jam-​packed the taco with lettuce and cilantro was nice.
The salsa verde was sort of bland, but then they have this orange/​red chipotle cream sauce that was amazing. I doused the rest of my taco with it, and life was good.
The torta was also pretty decent. Being that it was a bakery, the bread was soft. The rest of the torta was pretty decent. Not overly great, but I’d order it again.
Didn’t have a chance to try a dessert, as the taco and torta filled me up, but a few people ordered them, and they were scrumptious looking.
