Description
An OG Brooklyn fixture since 2008, La Superior is the kind of low-key spot where local Mexican restaurant owners head when their own shifts end. The kitchen skips Tex-Mex cliches—no chimichangas in sight—focusing instead on street-style classics. While the tacos, like the chipotle shrimp and pescado zarandeado, are the natural starting point, regulars point to the milanesa, gringas, and garlic shrimp as the real standouts. Pair them with a customizable, spicy mezcalita or a michelada. There is equal seating inside and out, backed by a sharp music selection, and while they no longer demand cash, card payments carry a small fee.
