Mandato Bakery

Tremendously great food. I've been eating here for a few years already. Always great food. I've always love their carnitas burrito, tostadas and others. I had a chicken Dakota once that was also delicious with big portions. For that person who asked why chips was in their food and he was on a gluten free diet, tortilla chips are made from corn meal, water, salt. Nothing else. Unless you ask for flour tortilla there isn't gluten in it.

***update*** Had the new breakfast burritos... Cats still love it. I can't wait for Pedro's new spot to open on fifth avenue. ***update*** Cats love it too (take out of course) ***Update*** (3/26/2022) New item I found out on the menu: Taco Governador (sp?). A recipe unique to Sinaloa state of Mexico it is not your average Shrimp Taco (new picture uploaded) well seasoned shrimp with a good mix of fresh aromatics and peppers with a bit of queso on a house-made tortilla. Definitely worth a visit next weekend for a to go lunch to eat at Shore Park. (Fyi they make homemade, gluten free, tortillas that can make a shoe taste good) I went there for breakfast today (mid March 2022 weekend) to try their new breakfast taco... Game Changer! It is a chorizo hash with scramble eggs on their HOME MADE TORTILLA!!! It also comes with a side salad too. Another must have on their menu 😁 (new pix uploaded). Prior review: I have now gone there about 5 times... twice in the last week... To say I am sold is an understatement. This weekend I went there after a long walk along Shore Park for some Tamales (my fave are the Rajas btw). Pictured below is me making dinner with the Rajas and Oaxaca and a southwestern omelette. Today I went for lunch. I had the 4 taco special (Chorizo and Tinga) and my partner had the Beans/Eggs/Avocado/Queso on the softest bun you can imagine... The Chorizo done well with some dices potatoes and the tinga is flavorful... Best part is I was full without feeling stuffed or bloated. The bakery is also great. I feel the croissants are better than some other fancier bakeries, the pastries are good balanced sweet and buttery, and rolls are amazing for any sandwich. Highly recommend this place... Part of what I like to call the Bay Ridge Golden Block :-)
