Tortilleria Mexicana Los Hermanos

Citysearch Editorial Review

by Keith Wagstaff at Citysearch

Affectionately referred to by locals as simply “the tortilla factory,” this modest Bushwick spot’s tacos have won it quite a following. The busting of the actual working tortilla factory, visible from the taqueria through thick glass walls, is a portent of delicious things to come. Warm, fresh-made tortillas are filled with a generous heaping of either chorizo (the most popular option), carnitas, beefsteak, chicken or vegetables and topped with lettuce, crema, queso fresco and salsa. The clientele, a mix of families and loft-dwelling hipsters, pack the place daily, crowding the long counter or one of the few tables while scarfing down their juicy, dripping tacos.
