"What It Is: A Mexican restaurant in Prospect Heights with homemade tortillas and a lot of mezcal Perfect For: Casual Weeknight Dinner There used to be a Mexican restaurant called El Atoradero Brooklyn in Prospect Heights, but it recently got a new chef and changed its name to Madre Mezcaleria. This seemed like a good enough reason to go back and check it out - despite the fact that we weren’t huge fans of El Atoradero - so we stopped for some dinner on the little back patio. And it was fine. Basically, the only thing that’s changed about this place is a new emphasis on mezcal. Other than that, the food is still pretty unremarkable. The tacos were decent, we somehow didn’t want to finish our guacamole, and, while the flautas weren’t bad, they also just seemed like something you’d make in a toaster oven after a long day of middle school. Although we did like our mole. The Verdict: Don’t plan a full dinner here, but if you live in the area and like mezcal, come sit at the bar." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, chris stang, matt tervooren
