Elote (Williamsburg)

By bruncheon

Price: $11 includes coffee or tea, a Mexican brunch entree, and a choice of a cocktail

Menu: Creative Mexican menu plus pecan banana corn cakes; extensive cocktail list featuring the “Fat Corpse Reviver” (no, we don’t recommend it).

Things we liked: Chilaquiles con chorizo, friendly manager, backyard seating, disarmingly stiff drinks, amazing prices, diverse help your self hot sauce bar, chef Dan’s amusing comments on the menu.

Things we didn’t like: Passive aggressive waitress, not-so-grilled version of mexican street corn that they decided to name their restaurant after, a dirty tea cup.

Overall Buncheon Rating: 6.5. If Sunday morning rolls around and you are feeling cheap and don’t want to leave Brooklyn, this is a great plan-b. The food, served home-style (piled in a large white bowl), is decent- and the drink menu is great. Unfortunately, the restaurant’s namesake side dish proved to be most disappointing. Note: be sure not to confuse the salsa by the kitchen with the help yourself hot sauce bar, for fear of upsetting the waitress. santafewb.com
