With so many Mexican restaurants serving up tacos in Brooklyn, it may be hard for some diners to figure out which destination to select. But Best of Brooklyn voters didn’t seem to have any trouble at all, selecting Chela as the best taco in the borough. In addition to being delicious, the taco selection offered by Chela is wide and includes options hard to find anywhere else, such as Tacos De Cabeza, featuring braised pig’s head and pickled Manzano peppers. Even the tacos that American diners are more used to, such as chicken and pork, are served with a twist at Chela. Its chicken tacos feature rotisserie chicken with Mexican Jerk seasoning, while its pork tacos, dubbed “Arabic tacos,” feature caramelized pork shoulder, sweet maple chipotle and onions on Middle Eastern zaatar-spiced pita. So when you have a craving for tacos at lunch or dinner, head on over to Chela, including on Taco Tuesdays, when the restaurant offers a special deal on three tacos.

Ho’Brah thought long and hard about what they loved most about tacos. ‘Bright flavors’ and ‘fresh ingredients’ were popular choices and soon morphed into ‘healthy lifestyle, summer, sun, and surf’. They shared tales of favorite taco joints they’d visited on vacations around the world; small taco trucks on the Mexican border in San Diego; wood paneled surf-taco joints yards from the ocean in Florida; oversized taco emporiums in Hawaii; and one truly shanty fish shack turned taco stand on the Gulf Coast. They are proud that people from all over New York City, and the world, visit Ho’Brah to see what the fuss is about. They want you to see firsthand that our success comes from our “family first spirit” and commitment to show each and every Guest that they consider them to be family too.
