The Scene – Every time another loud, bouncy Mexican tune kicks in on the corner jukebox, you'd swear this small diner is on the brink of a full-on fiesta. But the crowd occupying these wobbly wood tables--a mix of Myrtle Street locals and artsy Pratt students--is here for the food, not the scene. The lack of decor in the front and back rooms focuses all attention on the crowded open kitchen and its wraparound counter, lined with devotees. – – The Food – Castro's is the real thing: inexpensive, unfussy Mexican cooking served on paper plates with endless chips and…

A Decade of Good Food
by JBrill
I've been going to Castro's since Umberto bought the place over a decade ago and it's some of the best Tex-Mex this side of LA. (I grew up in LA). The Chicken Nachos and Tortas are really good. So it the Carnitas. The green sauce is mildly addictive.
P.S. As a student, I ate there 2-3x a week for 4 years and have NEVER had the experiences described by other reviewers. For the Prospect Park uberstroller-vegan types, it's a Mexican dive folks, complete with Juan Gabriel blaring in the background. Repeat, it's a DIVE.
- Pros: Cheap, Good and Stupidly Consistant
- Cons: It's a dive.

Terrible Service and 2+ Hours for Delivery
by eaimee
Recently, we ordered from Castro's. It took them over 2 hours to deliver our food. They were unapologetic and unhelpful. There excuse was that they had "two big tables" to serve. It was without a doubt the single worst experience I have had with a restaurant in my 6 years of living and eating in Brooklyn. The food is not worth it. Avoid at all costs.
The Details on El Sauce Restaurant
No Cards:
Although the menu claims that Visa and Mastercard are accepted, the women who tirelessly work the dining room and register think not.
Delivery:
With an $8 dollar minimum, Castro's delivers around a ten-block radius.
Beer Only:
Dos XX and Negra Modelo are just $3. Non-imbibers can look forward to Jarritos sodas in flavors like Mandarin Orange and Lme.
