Marcela Cocina Mexicana

J J the bartender hooks ur drinks up.. definitely a come back. All smiles here!!!!I had the Al Diabla wings and the nacho and cheese. Ambiance is on point cozy family feeling. Must come back.

Stopped by on Sunday afternoon and had some delicious food. It was a rainy day and it was not too busy. From my understanding this restaurant is owned by two brothers, one manages the front and the other the kitchen. The one managing the front is also the bartender and the drinks were great! He checked on us often to make sure we were good - and our server JJ did as well so we were really pleased with the service. We were a bit disappointed with the Guacamole size, I think for $13 the portion size should be bigger. However, the Chile relleno and the birria grilled cheese were super good! We will be coming back to this restaurant soon to try more things off the menu! The restaurant is very cozy, welcoming and aesthetically pleasing.

This place has good drinks, but the plate to talk about is the Ramen birria. I would've never thought that birria and Ramen would taste good together, but this place taught me something new. The atmosphere is decorated beautifully and the staff was tremendous!

Came here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and there was 1 other party here. Here's what we got:Chips and guac ($13) - the guac was one of the best I ever had! Had great flavor and seasoned well. The chips were average, wasn't fresh, probably not made in house but together with the guac, it was really good! Think it should have been a little bit cheaper for how much we got though. Birria tacos ($15) - I haven't had birria in a long time but this was very flavorful, the pork was nicely shredded and tender and the consommé was very flavorful. Tacos, steak and spicy pork ($3.75 each) - these were also pretty good, not the best iv had but definitely flavorful and worth the price. Each taco came with 2 tortillas and medium in size so it would take at least 4-6 bites to finish it. There are a couple reasons why this is not getting 5 stars from me and it's not because of the food. First, when we were first seated, the server said "would you like some chips and guac?" And we said sure. A lot of restaurants give free chips and salsa and I know guac is expensive and never free but the way he asked and the timing was very sneaky because we just sat down and didn't even glance at the menu yet. So yea, even though it tasted great, it was not what we wanted and was charged for it. Second, I normally don't look too deep into the receipts especially the tax portion but I was looking and saw that they charged 13% tax? I thought it was always 9% but I didn't ask. Overall, good experience with food but not great experience with the other parts.

This is a fantastic taco spot!I like that each type of taco has different toppings in them. There's lots of seating inside with a bar area. Super cute floral interior decor lining the corners to ceiling.We came here on a weekend afternoon and it was pretty quiet but more customers came in during the time we dined. Our waiter was super attentive and kind. I also love that they provide small jugs of green and red sauce so you can pour as much sauce to your liking!The price point is fair and the portions were satisfying! Would definitely come back.

I was in the mood for birria tacos, and I came here to get some. Marcela is located at 7121 Fort Hamilton Pkwy. They have different styles of birria here. They have birria tacos, empanadas, burritos, sandwiches, birria ramen, birria burrito bowls, birria mulitas, and a birria burger! They have other tacos as well. Chicken pork steak fish, etc. I might be ordering from here again today and adding more photos and updating my review. But so far this place is good! I'm glad it's not far from me. I ordered pick up and got 3 birria tacos and one fish taco. The birria tacos came with the consume dipping sauce. I have tried birria tacos from another Mexican place, but they didn't have the dipping sauce with it. Was still good, tho in my opinion, but I like any food that can be dipped in more flavor! But if and when in the neighborhood stop by Marcela mexican restaurant. I'm sure you will be pleased.

The food was alright. We ordered Chicken burrito, enchilada burrito bowl, 3 different tacos and chicken tamale. Here's where the problem was- the cilantro was very sandy/muddy. This cilantro was added in the guac which was served in every dished that we ordered. So that dampened our eating experience. As a new business, they have got to strive to pay attention to details. We ordered our food as a pickup. The service was super slow. There was only one person serving drinks at the bar, serving food to people dining in and handing pick ups. Too much pressure on one person! If this business wants to last longer than expected, they need to serve banging food to attarct more crowd. Chef needs an overview of the community he/she is cooking for.

Good is great we ordered to begin the buffalo chicken wings, amazing !! Also had the classic margarita which was very good not too strong but I did love the cups they served on very chic. Then had the pozole rojo with pork I like it though it had a few chunk of fat I did not like and the pozole is from a can, my husband says it would taste better with the pozole from a bag which is not to cooked. Also ordered the enchiladas verdes with steak but the sauce was a bit too tangy and not spicy at all as I would expect from a Mexican authentic restaurant. Everything was amazing in my eyes but my spouse thinks they need to do something about the tables outside as there's a lot of pigeons flying around and the tables and chairs get poop on. The sign on the restaurants need to get some maintenance as it's been pooped on by the pigeons. In conclusion I enjoyed their service and food they are very accommodating and provide great service. Would highly recommend this place.

The food here is amazing! But I must say the service is even better! Every single person working in this restaurant is so kind and attentive and they really care about their customers! They made my 21st birthday one to remember! It really feels like you're eating at your friends home :)! This is a must stop place for me and my husband!

The food is always amazing. The service is beyond expectations. Not your average Mexican spot.chill spot for High end brunch , the owner is amazing.
