"Panzón (“pot bellied”) is the facetious name for a new mezcal bar in Greenpoint serving Mexico City-style drinking snacks. Thus there are chicharrones de harina made from wheat topped with cheese and tajin, a smoky condiment, and machetes, an elongated quesadilla. But there are also tuna tostadas, chorizo gorditas, and some great chicken tinga tacos bulging with chipotle-slathered pulled poultry," - Robert Sietsema

"Panzón, a restaurant and bar, influenced by Mexico City, followed in March 2023. Nick Padilla, an owner of the El Pingüino cocktail bar, is the first commercial tenant at 25 Greenpoint Avenue. So are Nicole Onisick and David Taft, who opened Panzón at 23 Greenpoint Avenue. They say part of the draw was the promise that other food spots would follow." - Luke Fortney

" by Mexico City, Panzón is a little spot on the far western edge of Greenpoint serving small plates, interesting cocktails, and a lot of mezcal. The dining room has concrete floors, some homey decor, and a sound system that looks like it belongs in a Bushwick nightclub, and there are only around 10 items on the menu. They include a pair of chorizo gorditas and a simple mushroom quesadilla with a blistered tortilla, as well as a few snacks like "corn ribs" and guacamole. You can book a table in the back of the narrow space, but we suggest you grab a seat at the bar, drink a margarita, and have some small bites while you listen to funk, cumbia, house music, and more.

We stumbled in here on a rainy Saturday when we wanted to try somewhere new and we were not disappointed! The bartender and the hostess/server were friendly and the food was incredible. We got the potato flautas and I was amazed how much flavor they packed into the fried potato goodness! Their salsa verde is spicy in the nicest way and the burrito was delicately rich. Along with the food we tried a few of the cocktails. The espresso martini was slightly too floral for me but the gin martini and the panzon margarita were so bright and refreshing I can’t wait to have them again! They also have blackbird iykyk;)

The first time I heard about this place was when I saw their huge sign while driving. My friends and I decided to give it a try and enjoy the food. Since they were running late (or maybe I just arrived too early!), I ended up sitting at the bar and ordered a happy hour margarita with chamoy and Tajín on the rim. For $20, it included chips and guac or salsa—not bad at all. The margarita was delicious, and the chips were fresh. Once my friends arrived, we ordered a few dishes to share: the enchiladas, tacos a la barbacoa, and tres leches cake. Everything was good, though the food itself wasn’t something we’d rave about, but we definitely enjoyed the overall vibe. I do want to mention that the staff was fantastic—friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable.

On Greenpoint Ave, you’ll find new restaurant after new restaurant. Panzón serves up quality Mexican in a narrow bar space. We grabbed two seats at the bar which was quite packed and it took a bit longer than you might expect to put in a drink order and same for food. We ordered the fish tacos (packed with flavorful toppings & a spicy crema sauce), the short rib special (very tasty) and the enchiladas (lacking flavor). Overall, it was a quality Friday dinner. *The live DJ on Friday night was a nice touch

Panzón is all around amazing – I travel in Mexico frequently and they're serving up some of the best Mexican food I've had in the states. Their menu is always evolving to incorporate new things which is great, and the majority of items are gluten friendly. Specific things I love: the avocado marg is one of the tastiest drinks I've ever had (sounds weird BUT IT ISN'T), the tuna tostada is straight out of CDMX, the enchiladas rival Casa Enrique, and the gorditas are unspeakably good. I would be remiss if I didn't mention how legit the entire staff is – every single person working here is kind, cool, and skilled. DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS SPOT, if you haven't already been here you're doing yourself a disservice.

This place is a gem! Located in one of my favorite areas to visit in greenpoint. Panzons atmosphere is amazing even on a rainy day. I had to opportunity to try the new brunch menu. What a treat! Do not skip the Chilaquiles, so much flavor. The pollo torta was unique and tasty. Make sure you get the tres leches French toast for the table. Can’t wait to come back to try the tuna tostada and ceviche!

Nice place for a good drink and a quick snack. They have a nice patio but avoid a rainy day (could be partially covered as technically possible). The food prices are a bit high for the portion size but the food is very tasty. Very nice and fast service. I recommend!

We had the most wonderful experience at Panzon! The food, hospitality and vibes were off the charts. The El Panzon margarita is worth the stop alone but each and every dish is crafted beautifully. Shout outs to the esquites, crab tostada and mushroom quesadilla, and extra special shout out to the skin-contact wines, which were the best I’ve had. I wish I took more pictures of this incredible meal. Cant wait to come back!

Drinks are pretty good. Food is okay. Service was not great. They took our plate away while we were still working on our food, and it was the only dish on the table at that time 😂. This place also seems to be lack of sound absorbing material, which makes it very loud. They also kept both front door and back door open all the time—I’d not go on a bad air quality day again

Stumbled into Panzon last night after hearing great things and it did not disappoint. Great moody atmosphere, amazing cocktails and the food was phenomenal. Really friendly bartender gave great recs and helped make it a great experience. Panzon marg with avocado was so unique and tasty. Nice and smooth not too thick Tacos had a lot of meat and were very filling. Civiche was delicious. Menu labeled with allergens and had gf and vegetarian options. Will definitely be back in the summer to check out their back patio space!

Guac n Chip - guac was lack of salt although fresh Smoked Chicken Taco - chicken was stringy almost mooshy feel like overcooked. Lamb Taco - pretty good but tortilla was little dry.

I had the enfrijoladas off the brunch menu. They are basically mini quesadillas covered in a black bean sauce and toppings - cilantro, avocado, and an egg. The black bean sauce was rich, and there was a decent variety of toppings. The corn tortillas tasted great, and there was just the right amount of cheese on the inside. The dish needed a bit of lime juice to brighten it up, but otherwise it tasted alright. The portions felt a bit on the smaller side. The restaurant itself is a beautiful space. The decor gives it a southwestern vibe, with the exposed wood and succulents everywhere. They have a back patio, which is a great choice in good weather. The food was good, but too expensive at $31 after tax and tip. This makes it tough to recommend.

This place was such a good find. It's so adorable and the food is amazing. It is hard to find a really good cute Mexican place in my opinion and this place checked all the boxes for me. My margarita was amazing too! I will be returning here soon because it was awesome. This is a place you can actually get a reservation at too, which is a win in my book. Service was good too!

Walked in for drinks. Easy enough to grab seats at the bar. The service was great. Good variety of drinks. The decorations are a little random but I appreciate them! Worth checking out if you're in the area looking for drinks.

I do love the little cluster of restaurants along the western end of Greenpoint Avenue. It's like the Brooklyn equivalent of a strip mall, complete with all the essentials - a post-industrial park, a cocktail bar specializing in tinned fish, and of course an elevated CDMX-style Mexican establishment in Panzon. We shared most of the vegetarian items on the menu, starting with the guacamole and elotes ribs. The elotes ribs were slathered in mayo and naturally were fantastic, if a bit hard to eat (hence my usual inclination towards esquites). For larger plates, we had the cauliflower al pastor on a tostada and the machete quesadilla. The quesadilla was definitely my preferred option - it had a thick slab of rich white Oaxacan cheese, and of course I love a healthy portion of the paneer of the Americas. The cauliflower dish was a bit too mild for my taste.

"Panzón," meaning "potbellied" in English, couldn't be a more fitting name for this fantastic restaurant. If I keep coming here, I might just earn one myself! I'm seriously tempted to make it a habit, especially this summer. Mexican cuisine can be tricky to get right, but that's no problem for this gem in Greenpoint. Even though Cinco de Mayo would have been the perfect time to visit, my friend and I couldn't wait and went a week before. Thankfully, the food was still amazing. We started with the Ceviche, shared a Tuna Tostada, and indulged in the Shrimp Huarache. Every bite was delicious, making it hard to pick a favorite. Then came the Flank Steak. It was absolutely mouthwatering. We were tempted to order another but had to save room for dessert. The Tres Leches Cake is a must-try, and the one at Panzón did not disappoint. Despite the busy night, our waitress was attentive, even asking if we wanted more food or drinks before last call. Speaking of drinks, we tried the avocado margaritas, one of their signature cocktails. They surpassed all expectations. While it was too chilly to enjoy the back patio, the indoor dining area was spacious and clean. We'll definitely be back to experience both indoor and outdoor dining at Panzón.

Unfortunately very disappointed in Panzon. We had high expectations given all the reviews however it did not live up to it. Wait time for a walk in was 2+ hours, so we decided to sit at the bar. The drinks were just okay. And the guacamole was a small portion size. Very expensive as well.

Gerardo V.

Yelp
The brunch menu was so yummy. Being native to Mexico- my mother and I love trying new Mexican brunch spots and the food here was fun. I got the chilaquiles sandwich and considering chilaquiles are my favorite dish, this did not disappoint. The drinks were also fantastic and the service was great.

Came on Sunday afternoon around 2:30pm & sat outside in their cute little patio. +1 for vibes. Thankfully we were in the shade, but most of the tables looked pretty hot and only a few other people chose to sit outside. Solid, pretty cocktails, but nearly all of them were mezcal based and it would have been nice if there were a few more options. Tried a couple apps - Guacamole ($18), Frizzled Onions ($8). Onions were a too oily and cut too fine, but the seasoning was on point. Accompanying salsas were a nice touch. Overall, I'd definitely go again if I happened to be around, but wouldn't make a special trip out.

WOW ... my expectations were seriously exceeded. I had walked past and seen Panzón on social media a few times and decided to walk in and try it one Friday evening. We walked in with no reservation around 9 pm and were seated about 15-20 minutes later. The host was great, she brought us drink menus and took our order to the bar. The cocktails were very interesting, if you're interested in a fruity tequila or mezcal drink they didn't have too much of those however. I really liked the panzón cocktail and would recommend. The food was next level, it was so fresh and flavorful. Definitely get the guac, flautas, and birria tacos they were all great. The service and vibe was awesome too, they had a dj playing but it wasn't a "clubsterant" it was funky chill music you could still talk without shouting. Definitely will be back and definitely recommend.

Was about a 45-minute wait on a Friday night, not super surprising, but we were able to put our name down and grab a drink elsewhere. When our table was ready, we were seated at a communal table - not quite what I was expecting, but not a huge deal. We ordered the avocado margarita, a beer, guac, chicharron, and the frizzled onions. We waited a while for even drinks to come, and the food actually ended up arriving first. I was pretty disappointed in the portion size of the guac given the $17 price tag, and the onions were pretty oily. Overall, the experience felt rushed and overpriced. Really, the only thing I'd consider returning for is the avocado margarita, and even that was steep at $18.

my friends and i came in to try the famous el panzon drink we kept seeing on tiktok. loved the creamy texture - it almost reminded me of a melted melona bar! we tried two other cocktails but my second favorite has to go to no habla inglés, no habla español. the chicharrones de harina were easily devoured and i loved the side of valentina. the other dish we tried was the tres leches cake and i am a little disappointed at how dry it was. it gave me the impression it had only been soaked in the milks right before serving. would highly recommend i'll be back

First visit to Panzón -- service and ambience were good -- food was tasty but seriously overpriced. Had the special three garlic-shrimp tacos -- order arrived, 3 small-size tortillas laying open on the plate, with a little shredded cabbage and a couple (well-seasoned) shrimp in each one. Small, under-filled, and overpriced ($28 for these three little tacos felt criminal!). Nothing else on the plate -- no garnish, nothing. My partner had the Tinga tacos, also small and on an otherwise empty plate. We had Tres Leches for dessert which was moist and good. But got home hungry after a pricey (tiny) meal. Nice staff, but definitely felt like stingy portions.

This is the whitest Mexican joint I've ever been to. Pretty pricey. Food and drinks were decent. Very busy on a Friday evening. Felt a bit rushed. Cute spot for date night. The bathroom art decor was hilarious. See photos.

This is such a fun spot!! Loved everything about it. For starters, the cocktails were delicious. Ordering El Panzón is a must -- I loved the creaminess the avocado gives it and appreciated how the sweetness wasn't overwhelming. Super cool that they have such a large mezcal menu too. For food, we got the guacamole, duck tostada, and birria tacos. Definitely recommend the birria -- sooo good! Overall just such a fun vibe. Really enjoyed the music as well! They had a DJ when we went on a Friday night but I appreciated that it wasn't overly loud and we could still hold a conversation.

Fun new spot near the water in Greenpoint! I'm rarely in this neighborhood despite my love of it (public transit doesn't make it easy), so when I'm here I like to explore as much as I can. I'm surprised to see such mixed reviews, but we also didn't get any food here, so we were missing half of what Panzón has to offer. I also noticed that a lot of the bad reviews were from folks who live close by, and that's not an experience I can vouch for either. I liked it and I'm happy that I had a good time here, but I can appreciate the frustration too. But anyway, we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and loved all of the drinks we ordered. We popped in here after getting dinner close by. I don't drink tequila but I love a good mezcal drink, of which Panzón has many. We grabbed two seats at a bar for easy access, though it's also always fun to watch the bartenders work. The space itself is sprawling, though we didn't explore much of it, as the bar is at the front of the venue. When we got there (at around 9:30/9:45) it wasn't very busy, but at some point after 10 it filled up considerably. Good thing we came when we did. The vibe is pretty chill, upbeat, some party vibes, good music. The only odd thing was that one of the speakers was clicking (some sort of audio or hardware issue, I guess), which was a little grating between songs. I have some unique icks though, so it's a minor pet peeve in the grand scheme of things. To start, my husband got the Barking Chihuahua (rum, lime, beer syrup) and I got the No Habla Inglés, No Habla Español (mezcal, pamplemousse, faccia brutto, lime). Both were excellent. I've made beer syrup with Guinness once and it's a fun and unique addition to a drink. Mine was essentially a mezcal version of a Last Word, though a lot more unique than the classic drink. Delicious, bright, citrusy, and well balanced. For our second round, my husband got the Hibiscus Spritz and I got the Spicy Gringo/Spicy White Negroni (madre mezcal, contratto aperitivo, vermouth blanc, spicy tincture). I love white negronis, I love mezcal negronis, and I love spicy drinks, so this was clearly right up my alley. I'm not a big fan of spritzes in general but this was a solid one. To finish, I got a spicy mezcal margarita with salt. This may seem like a boring final drink, but it was very exciting for me. I'd had margaritas twice in my life before this, and both times I got violently ill because I have a strange physical reaction (I call it an allergy but I'm not sure what it actually is) to tequila. So I hadn't had a margarita since 2014 (yes, I remember the day). This one hit the spot and was the perfect was to end the night.

Great meal, just everything was good. Maybe the best fish tacos I've ever had. The cooking was serious and on-point. I loved everything we tried and we sampled a good portion of the menu. The service was friendly and attentive, the music was fun (maybe a bit loud) and I loved the yellow-hued open kitchen. Cocktails could maybe use a bit more variety, people on statins beware: almost all of the cocktails have grapefruit.

Panzon hosted my daughters engagement party last weekend! Atmosphere was perfect, the service was amazing and the food and drinks were delicious! Consider hosting your event at Panzon! They are sure to not disappoint!!!!!! Or, just stop by to visit!!!!! You will love it here!

Panzón is pretty much the most perfectly engineered woo girl spot? And I'm not saying this in a desparaging way. Tacos. Margs. Outdoor patio with beach vibes. Tuna tostadas packed with lip smacking acidity and richness. Savory tajín blasted chicharrones shaped like sand dollars. Dismantled bloomin fried onion shreds with some kind of southwestern ranch thing from the gods. Perhaps the best menu offering is the "your way" Margarita. Want to customize your margarita like your Starbucks bev? Of course you do. I prefer spicy mezcal with salt. This may all sound like a hipster dishing out shade - but it's not. I'm not complaining in the slightest. I love this spot. It's tough to find a spot that your vanilla Frappuccino friends AND your foodie friends can both rave about. But this is it. There's something for everyone.

Came in for Panzón's 4th of July pop up and had a great time! The service was a bit slow (I think they were slammed) but the food was really tasty and the vibes on the patio out back were top-notch.

Popped in for a quick drink for walking through Transmitter Park nearby. They had a nice selection of mezcals. I had been drinking wine earlier in the evening so I stuck with it. Had an orange glass from France. They had a couple tables out front, lots of space indoors, and a backyard. Just noticed one gender neutral restroom.

Yelp
This spot is cool, great menu and awesome vibes. They have one bar tender, who has frosted tips, that is a total jackass. My friend was ordering drinks and asked for grey goose and this Eminem wannabe lost it and threw the menu at her and said "here's the menu why don't you order stuff we actually have." This guy is a total loser and kind of ruins the experience - he's like pouty, like he's mad at his parents and just wants to go home and punch a hole in the wall while he listens to rage against the machine. He's got SDE

I came in on a Wednesday night and was sat immediately as a party of two. The restaurant is small but still feels spacious, and is very beautifully decorated in a modern mexican style. I ordered the tuna tostada, baja fish tacos, guac and chips, chorizo gorditas, and tinga tacos. Tuna tostada was delicious, fresh and balanced and I appreciated the everything seasoning as a nod to NYC. I think it was a little too expensive for the size but I get it. The baja fish tacos were my favorite dish. The fish was perfectly cooked and flavorful, and the toppings really tied it all together. Guac and chips - i would typically skip guac on a menu but this was really yummy. I love roasted poblanos, because they're a labor of love and it shows in the guac. The chorizo gorditas were my second favorite because they took me to my childhood of eating fresh gorditas around a plastic table with family. The masa was everything, and the chorizo and beans were so warm and satisfying. The tinga tacos were generously stacked with chicken and had great flavor and spice. I would have liked more toppings on them. Other things of note The salsas: were perfect i practically drank the red one. The tortillas: loved that they actually heat them up on a comal as most NYC mexican establishments don't. The tostadas: they were very generous and offered us more of them as we ate. They went well with everything we ordered and were nice to munch on. The food came out super fast and hot. The service from front of the house could have been better and cocktails took quite a while, but I will say the quality of the food and drink made up for that. Its evident from the very long review that I am passionate about Mexican food. The NYC Mexican food scene deserves its flowers, Panzón included.

Ignore all of these five star friends & fam smoke blowing feel good reviews, because Panzón is trash. Shiny, buzzy, brand new trash, but trash none the less. Fuck the vibes. Honestly, I had high hopes and a really open mind coming into Panzón. I love living in this neighborhood, and part of that is the amazing quality of food and litany of dining choices we have here and I was hoping to add a new spot to my growing list of in-the-hood go-to's. But to say that I was disappointed in literally every facet of my dining experience, would be an understatement. Let's start at the top. We were seated at the bar so subsequently we were 'waited' on by the bartenders who were seemingly uninterested in our experience if not altogether inattentive. Which is whatever, but it didn't help that their watery Michelada was $14 bucks. That house Michelada mix is nothing to write home about and Minnow's is doing one way better for half the price just a few blocks away. Step that shit up if you're going to have a little blurb about the mix on your menu. My partner ordered a spicy Marg but was served a regular one in a glass half-filled. So half of the wrong marg for $18 bucks. Cool. Off to a stellar start here. Usually I don't mind higher prices when the product and service are justifying that, but that just isn't the case here. The disappointment kept coming as we were served our food (without plates, silverware or napkins mind you, we had to ask for those things). We ordered the fried onions, the sticky wings, and the chicken tinga tacos. Three items from the three different sections of the menu. Now maybe the chef is still working out the kinks of this menu, kinda workshopping some ideas around, but if that's the case then let me provide some constructive feedback: this ain't it. When I say that the onion appetizer was literally a bowl of those crispy fried onions that are supposed to go on Ma's green bean casserole but you drunkenly ate all of them standing in the pantry doorway at 3am in your underwear, I mean they're just that. I guess I was expecting something "elevated" but I felt like Michael Bluth looking in the bag labeled 'dead dove', not exactly sure what else I was expecting. Maybe that one was on me. But the 'sticky wings'? Nah. You gotta come correct with a wing. Do you know how hard it is to fuck up a chicken wing? These we're some of the most uninspired, one-note wings I've ever had. Lazily conceived and lazily executed. I've experienced more depth of flavor in my toothpaste. If my nearest comp to your wing is the grab-n-go day-old wings at the Keyfood, it's time to step it up. Don't give me that 'wings aren't our thing' bullshit either because on an 11 item menu, everything on it has to be your thing. Enerugi, the new ramen spot on Manhattan Ave., is doing an amazing wing. Keg and Lantern, Little Tiffin, Pelicana, Brew Inn; the list of places to get decent wings in Greenpoint is long. Get this trash ass wing outta here. Let's move on to the tacos. Shame on you Panzón. Shame. on. you. Are you fucking kidding me. As a "Mexican" restaurant, with that tiny ass menu, these should be a home fucking run. They're not. They're bad and Panzón, you should feel bad. Un-marinated, un-seasoned, unloved chicken, topped and slopped with some bottled guac non-sense. Next time you're at Keyfood picking up your wings, grab some fucking avocados and some pico de gallo. Listen, despite the disappointing, watery, half-filled drinks; the dazed and confused service; the boring ass monotone food; I was still going to leave a tip. I never not tip, especially after spending so much. But honestly this was just too much: I was mistakenly charged twice for this bullshit, but wasn't told about it. I had developed such a horrid gut feeling about this place over the course of my dinner that I just intuited that when the closing of my tab was taking so long, it was because I had mistakenly been charged twice. I checked my bank account on my phone and I was right lol. I pointed this out to the person closing the tab (who wasn't who served us?) and she apologized but when I asked if she was going to tell me that I had been mistakenly charged twice, she said "If you're refund doesn't go through, you can DM me on Instagram." Are you fucking kidding me? lol nah. Be a professional, inform me that you made a mistake, apologize (and honestly maybe offer to comp a thing or two) and keep it movin'. Don't make a mistake worse by making another one in not telling me. It's fuckin' amateur hour over here. The end of the dinner was a fitting summation of the Panzón experience as a whole: clumsy, ill conceived, and poorly executed. There's more than opening month jitters marring Panzón's first impressions in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, cute logos and lamps, and unearned prices can't hide a place completely bereft of direction. Forget about actually designing a thoughtful menu with a resonant unique voice; can we just cover the fucking basics?

Favorite new spot! And I am kind of obsessed with their avocado margarita! (which I was stupidly hesitant to try at first, but now I can't get enough of!) I really enjoyed my first experience at Panzon and have already been back a few times now. It has a really fun atmosphere! (although it can get quite busy and loud.. but that's understandable at peak times.) The food is really great (my fave is the Torta which is delicious! ... but I'm also looking forward to trying something new next time I go back!), they have cool decor (especially in the bathrooms), and they are in an awesome location... can't say enough wonderful things! Looking forward to another avocado margarita sooooon!

Lousy Mexican Restaurant and Bar with odd-tasting appetizers that don't sit well. One of the few times I left a restaurant before ordering a main entree. $20 a dish. 1.5/5 stars as a dinner spot.

Amazing food / vibes at the delicious Mexico City-inspired bar and restaurant. Highly recommend getting everything, including the tuna tostada, quesadilla, chicharrones and Mexican pizza.

Marissa L.

I stopped by on opening night with some friends. Great music and vibe with an interesting take on Mexican food. The menu is pretty limited but some standouts included the chicken tacos (loved the smoky flavors!) and the wings which were very tangy from the tamarind. We also tried the mezcal flight which was delicious and perfect for sharing. They said they will rotate mezcals monthly so I'm excited to come back to try other producers. The cocktail list is extensive and perfect if you like mezcal based drinks. The only thing missing was a dessert menu.

This is a cute spot for cocktails and they have a good patio. They are dog friendly, which is great. I highly suggest the hibiscus spritz. It's so good.

Really expensive for less then mediocre Mexican food. Better off going to any old school mom and pops bushwick taco spot, or just cooking at home. Went with a four top and shared a bunch of plates. Can't imagine anyone going back. Service was great though.

All around amazing food and vibes. Avocado marg is one of the best drinks in town. They also almost always have a DJ spinning on the weekends

Nick R.

Took almost 20 minutes for someone to come greet us and take our order after we were seated. Took another 15 minutes for the first cocktail to come out. Pathetic. Waitress was pretty much unapologetic. I live down the street and was excited to be a regular here, but walked out with one of the worst dining experiences in years. No joke. Made a Yelp account for this because it really was that bad.

Everything was so good. You have to try the orange wine and the El Panzón marg. The plates are shareable and delish too. The staff was very nice, treated us well and the ambiance is cool. I loved the pictures on the wall in the bathroom! (It's worth a look, trust me).

Echoing others who said they made a yelp account to write the review....Live a few blocks away and this meal literally haunted me for days...I lied in bed tossing and turning cursing myself "why did we spend $125 here...why??!?!" My wife and I don't really drink so if they have a bomb ass marg and you want to grab a drink and listen to some pretty decent fun music then this could be a decent pre dinner or post dinner spot....but the food is straight trash. It's just as expensive as Oxomoco which is literally up the street, same long wait and has phenomenal food...or go to Vamos al Tequila 2 blocks away, half the price and also great food. We ordered the onions, salsa, guac, tuna tostatda and the torta....Everything was either just passably decent or terrible...The guac was flavorless and the torta gave me vibes of waking up hungover in college and remembering holy f I cant believe I ate that last night at 3am it was trash... Go for 1 drink, do not get conned into eating here....

Loved the atmosphere here, and drinks were great, both alcoholic & non-alcoholic options. The tuna tostada and chicken tinga tacos were the crowd favorites; I went with a large group and we ordered everything on the food menu minus the chicharrón & onion snacks. The corn ribs were also very tasty, and the wings were that good kind of messy. My only critique is when we did order so many dishes, service came out with too many dishes at a time, rather than spacing out snacks, shareable plates, and mains. We were just dipping into the guacamole when 4 more hot dishes came out, and we had to ask our server to slow down the plates so we could enjoy what we were eating rather than feel rushed out. Overall, I'd like to return, but maybe I'd order more intentionally (slower).

I got a delicious Paloma cocktail that went very refreshingly with our guacamole. I also the mushroom quesadillas, which were satisfying but not as tasty as the dipping sauce that came with it. My boyfriend got the chicken sandwich, which I sampled. It had a much darker and earthier flavor for the meat than I expected, but it made a complex complement to the zing of the sauce. The restaurant was pretty loud but also cheerful and lively and a good addition to the neighborhood.

This place is one of my new favorite spots. Great energy, great food, and of course great drinks! The food is unreal and perfect for the atmosphere.

Three words. GO. TO. PANZON. Do you want to eat the greatest quesadilla of your life in an incredibly sexy environment? Do you want to drink avocado margaritas (they are actually amazing), and feel like you have escaped to a Mexico City Style paradise? Great vibes. Great drinks. Great staff (like Kate, Claire, Erza and Mike). Just go to Panzon!

The bartender and serving staff were so personable and genuinely kinds. They gave my husband something for his low blood sugar "just because". So we went back and spent money there, and they ended up treating our son to free chips and just making our night so enjoyable. Delicious food and drinks, and a very chill atmosphere. Definitely recommend for the personable vibe!

Service needs improvement, and for a small menu the food was mediocre at best. Generous 3.

Love this place so glad it's in the neighborhood. The food was great- got the torta and tacos. Love the mezcal cocktails. Nothing to complain about, vibes are 10/10 music was fun food was good and my servers were so sweet! Will be back.

This is more than a local Greenpoint bar for the neighborhood - Panzon has a menu and cocktail program that justifies taking 3 subways to experience the magic! Tucked away at the end of Greenpoint Ave., I was excited to see how Panzon elevates the traditional bar experience from the mood lighting, tasteful music and quirky art. After I had my snack and cocktail I watched the sunset at Transmitter Park...just a few steps away. I'll be back for more tuna tostadas and mezcal.

Hot damn! Best cocktail I've had possibly ever: the avocado margarita. It pairs perfectly to cool your palate with the delightfully spicy food - I got the frizzled onions, chicken Milanese torta and chicken tacos which were all so flavorful and thoughtful. Great music at the perfect volume. All around an incredible time and I can't wait to go back.

Cannot say enough good things about this new Greenpoint spot. We came with a birthday dinner of 6 and they were super accommodating for our reservation. Vibes and cocktails were top notch, food was beyond excellent. Highly recommend the sticky wings, corn ribs, torta chilaquiles but honestly everything we ate was delicious-- if going with a group, consider sharing a bunch of plates. Will be back very soon.
