Williamsburg Mexican Cantina on Kent Avenue
A Mexican cantina on Kent Avenue with tacos, drinks and a cactus shop inside.
🌮 Broth With Your Birria
The Cactus Shop folds Mexican street food into a Williamsburg speakeasy at 231 Kent Avenue. Birria tacos arrive with dipping broth, while esquites round out an order alongside cocktails and mocktails. That mix lets you put food at the center of the evening rather than stopping at drinks.
Inside, cascading ceiling banners and a stamped metal chandelier recall an Oaxacan courtyard. The cactus filled backyard patio offers an outdoor setting for the meal. For spontaneous plans, the team holds all bar seats for walk ins nightly, together with a portion of the tables. Reservations are available through the website when you prefer to book ahead.
Hours run Tuesday and Wednesday from 5 PM to 11 PM, Thursday from 5 PM to midnight, Friday from 5 PM to 1 AM, Saturday from noon to 1 AM, and Sunday from noon to 10 PM, with Monday closed.
