"Some of the best Mexican food in the city is only available on weekends, as these tamales from Reyes Deli & Grocery go to show. The bodega on the southern edge of Park Slope sells burritos, breakfast tacos, and barbacoa by the pound. For some of the city’s top tamales, show up early on a Saturday or Sunday. Rajas, chicken mole, and pork tamales cost a couple of dollars each." - Luke Fortney
"Ask someone who lives in Gowanus (like, who really lives in Gowanus, like who’s kayaked on the Gowanus at least three times) about their favorite local restaurant, and they’re going to tell you about Reyes Deli. Then they'll tell you to please not tell anyone else about Reyes Deli. (Sorry, Louis.) The small, family-owned bodega on 4th Avenue is stocked with things like pickled jalapeños and corn tortillas, and there’s a grill that cranks out some of the best tacos in the area. We like the al pastor, but you really can’t go wrong. Anything topped with their salsa verde, which they also sell by the jar, will make you feel torn—between wanting to keep this place to yourself, and wanting to buy a Reyes Deli t-shirt to wear every single day.

"The cup of atole made with tender cooked rice is thin enough to drink without a straw and comes served with a spoon for scooping up what's left at the bottom." - Eater Staff
"At Reyes Deli & Grocery on Fourth Avenue, you’ll find one of the best breakfast tacos in the city. Reyes’ bacon, egg, and American cheese taco deviates from breakfast tacos in its strictest Texan definition by forgoing flour tortillas for corn — but Reyes’ version is still a much lighter alternative to a BEC on a bagel or roll." - Emma Orlow
"There’s Breakfast Tacos, in the stricter Texan sense of the words (flour tortilla, scrambled egg, cheddar cheese, and sometimes potatoes), and then there’s breakfast tacos, the looser catch-all phrase for tacos that happen to be eaten during breakfast hours. Some of our favorite morning meals fall into this latter category, including the tacos at Reyes Deli & Grocery, a Mexican bodega in Gowanus. The version pictured here is essentially a bacon, egg, and American cheese sandwich stuffed between two corn tortillas, but for something simpler, try the nourishing chorizo and egg taco, priced around $7 for two." - Eater Staff
