“everything I've ever eaten there has been amazing.”
“I love Nene's birria and order from them almost every week but I am not a fan of their birria pizza; the ratio of cheese to meat to tortilla is way off. It's a fun idea but not a great execution IMO.”
“The only thing that has truly replicated the California Mexican experience for me is Nene’s Taqueria. 3.75 a taco with homemade corn tortillas.”
“You will shit your pants and feel horrible for hours if you get their birria pizza. It’s also worth it.”
“loved their Birria Burrito. They're the only thing that's come close.”
“Nenes taqueria and Birria landia has excellent Birria.”
“Nene’s is better than Birrialandia IMO”
“Nenes is good. Different vibes than California but good”

“Nene’s cheesy birria burritos have no right being so good, incredible spot”
“Ive enjoyed horchatas from tacos no.1, nenes, and Maya taqueria.”

“Lots of other restaurants in Bushwick would be higher on my list - nene’s taqueria for birria”
“I usually order anything but the birria at Nene's since I find theirs overly salty (and I say that as a salt fiend). My husband thinks their birria is good, though, so to each their own.”
“their meat isn’t really that tender, they give you a lot but it’s very cheery.”
“Their birria is out of this world and if you order 6 tacos they send you free consommé. I enjoy Nene’s at least once a month if not more.”
“Nene's Taqueria/Nene's Deli Taqueria for Birria in Brooklyn (I like the deli location for no frills. Get the Nene's Deluxe combo - a birria empanada, taco and mulita with the consome).”
“Birria pizza - Nene’s taqueria in Bushwick or Park Slope”
“Nene's is the best I've had in NYC.”

“Nene’s for birria and tacos Al pastor for Bushwick are also excellent”
“I think nenes has the best birria too”
“Awesome addition to the neighborhood. Just had a lengua quesadilla and some Al pastor tacos, and I’ve enjoyed their Cali style burrito (bc it still has rice and beans lol).”
“the birria is where it's at - get the Nene Deluxe to try it in several iterations.”
“My verdict is that Nene’s has slightly better tacos and Birria-Landia has slightly better consommé. (Emphasis on the “slightly” in both cases.) But honestly there’s no bad choice here. Both are among the top 5 tacos I’ve ever had in the city.”
“Nenes is a close second. Their Nenes Deluxe combo is an amazing value.”
“One of the best in NY. AL Pastor was really good and the birria too.”
“Nenes taqueria and taqueria al pastor both do a mushroom taco thats aight.”
“Their consomme is sooo good.”
