"I noted that For All Things Good in Brooklyn is among the growing number of restaurants dedicating menus to heirloom Mexican corn, thinking about biodiversity and supporting farmers as much as flavor." - BySam Stone
"For All Things Good runs on masa, but you won’t find any tacos at this minimalist Bed-Stuy spot that looks like a coffee shop. The focus here is on Oaxacan dishes, like giant memelas topped with avocado and a fried egg, tetelas filled with everything from hibiscus flower to black bean, and tlayudas covered in a ridiculous amount of mushrooms. They make some of the best tortillas we’ve had anywhere in NYC, and you can get a package of these colorful heirloom corn creations to go." - willa moore, bryan kim, will hartman, neha talreja, carlo mantuano, sonal shah
"Few restaurants have been able to popularize the foods of Oaxaca like For All Things Good, the Bed-Stuy Mexican restaurant from proprietor Matthew Diaz. Grains imported from Mexico are nixtamalized in-house and ground into masa used to make triangular tetelas and miniature tlayudas in various colors. Round out a meal with an iced horchata or atole. There had been a location in Williamsburg, but it closed; the team also operates Bar Birba in Bed-Stuy." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Opened by Matt Diaz in 2020 at 343 Franklin Avenue at the border of Clinton Hill and Bed-Stuy; Diaz has since added three more spots on Franklin Avenue between Greene and Lexington Avenues over the past five years with various partners. "The throughline across all the spots is simple: affordable, casual spots — all walk-in-friendly — with tasty food." - Emma Orlow
"When it comes to Mexican breakfast options in Brooklyn, this place should immediately spring to mind. This Bed-Stuy restaurant serves Oaxacan-style dishes like giant memelas topped with fried eggs, chilaquiles with avocado and cheese, and tlayuditas covered in refried black bean spread and chili oil. Come here for a laid-back breakfast on the patio, and don’t forget to grab a pack of fresh tortillas before you leave." - bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, will hartman
