Best Mexican in Bushwick
Master Critic Review
Taqueria Cocoyoc
7.9
A steady Wyckoff Avenue taqueria that delivers classic plates and a broad menu without losing the essentials: hot tortillas, solid salsas, and dependable proteins. It’s best when you choose one taco lane plus one bigger plate and don’t get pulled into menu sprawl.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chilaquiles, Torta al pastor, Horchata

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; can be tight on Wyckoff during peak hours, easier mid-day on side streets.
Dress code: Casual — jeans, sneakers, and everyday wear fit right in.
Noise level: Moderate — lively at peak times but still easy to hold a conversation.
Weekend wait: 15–30 minutes during peak hours, often shorter for small parties
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait or a few minutes at most
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — veggie tacos, chilaquiles without meat, and bean-based plates available.
Vegan options: Limited — possible with bean, rice, nopales, and salsa-based combinations; ask before ordering.
Gluten-free options: Yes — corn tortillas and naturally gluten-free proteins; avoid flour tortillas and fried add-ons.
Best For
Better for: Dependable, all-purpose Mexican meals when you want both tacos and a full plate without overthinking the order.
Skip if: You’re looking for a standout single specialty (like elite al pastor or birria) or a destination-style dining experience.
