Rachael: The $3 tacos are reason enough to love this cash-only counter-service operation housed inside an actual tortilla factory. But the fact that you can sit down next to a conveyor belt churning out the very tortillas you’re eating puts the place in a category of its own, and means that the corn and flour discs here are some of the freshest in the city. Tacos, tostadas, taquitos, and quesadillas can be loaded with spicy chorizo, steak, chicken, pork, or a veggie-bean mix. Originally a less-than-legal warehouse eatery, the kitchen has since gone official after some gentle nudging by the Health Department, but the place is still BYOB and has a bit of an air of “anything goes.”

It’ll offer a full-service bar with an impressive craft cocktail list and three different types of lobster rolls. And while you’ll probably have to wait a bit for a table, the restaurant has ping-pong tables and a 9-hole Brooklyn-themed mini golf This summer, Brooklyn Bowl will host a live series of both ticketed and free concerts on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays in the outdoor venue space at Courtyard 1/2, and Rooftop Films will host a summer series of movie nights on on one of the area’s spacious warehouse rooftops.
