"Situated around the corner from the future Peek Inn, this upcoming spot from former Meat Hook partner Ben Turley, along with Jorge Aguilar and Amanda Rosa, is known ahead of opening for its flour tortillas and breakfast tacos served at pop-ups. The reputation for those tortillas and breakfast tacos is already central to its identity, shaping expectations for the brick-and-mortar location." - Melissa McCart
"Known for its stellar flour tortillas and tacos, this operation is hosting a series of pop-ups before its highly anticipated Greenpoint restaurant opens this winter, including one at Greenpoint ice cream shop the Screen Door on Sunday, November 30, at 10 a.m., followed by another on Sunday, December 7, at the same time." - Nadia Chaudhury
"We make transparency part of the service: because people's real wait clock starts when they order, I keep tight inventory (down to the last tortilla ball) and proactively go into the line to ask how many tacos each person wants; once we're about 70 percent through I announce the end of the line so customers don't wait to the front only to find out we're sold out, and they tend to be grateful for that honesty. We're also expanding — a flagship brick-and-mortar will open in Greenpoint this fall." - Eater Staff
"Turning a way-popular breakfast taco pop-up into a full-on 40-seat casual restaurant, co-owners and couple Jorge Aguilar and Amanda Rosa, with partner Ben Turley, keep mornings stocked with tacos built on superb Sonora-style flour tortillas, breakfast burritos, aguas frescas, and in-the-works Mexican pastries, while dinner (to be added later) will include botanas and cocktails such as micheladas and mezcalitas using agave spirits like mezcal, tequila, and bacanora." - Melissa McCart
"Border Town, a taco pop-up that's gained a cult following after frequent appearances at Commune, The Screen Door, and more, is opening a brick-and-mortar in Greenpoint. They’ll start with daytime service only, featuring their made-to-order flour tortillas filled with rotating guisados and pastries. Eventually, they’ll also be open in the evening, as a full service, no-reservation spot with tacos, botanas, Mexican beers, and an agave spirit-forward cocktail list." - bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick
