About This Spot
Stepping into Brooklyn Beso feels like finding a hidden corner of Brooklyn where warmth and vibrant culture intertwine effortlessly. Nestled on Lewis Avenue, this spot carries a welcoming buzz—a laid-back energy that invites both familiar faces and adventurous newcomers to settle in and savor the moment. The music—an inviting mix of Afrobeats, Soca, RnB, and Hip Hop—sets a rhythmic backdrop that complements the friendly chatter and the clink of glasses, crafting a space where time slows just enough for genuine connection.
The atmosphere balances between relaxed and lively, with a cozy bar up front and a more tucked-away dining area in the back, perfect for quietly enjoying a meal or catching up with friends. It's exactly the kind of place where solo diners feel equally at home, embraced by the easygoing vibe and attentive, thoughtful service.
Food here is a comforting celebration of Latin American flavors with an imaginative twist that feels both familiar and joyful. Whether it’s the tender, deeply flavored oxtail woven into rich, creamy macaroni and cheese, or a plate of perfectly cooked wings kissed by sweet and tangy glazes, each bite is an experience of care and craft. Breakfast-for-dinner fans will find a special kind of satisfaction in the French toast paired with savory chicken, a dish that carries the kind of warmth that makes you want to linger just a little longer.
The drink menu mirrors the creative spirit of the kitchen with playful cocktails that invite curiosity—a guava margarita with a tropical buzz, or a vibrant frozen dragonfruit margarita that feels like summer in a glass. The specially rimmed “VIP” drinks add a little theatrical flair, sparking conversation and smiles. These pair perfectly with the approachable yet inspired food, making Brooklyn Beso a spot to relish moments shared over good taste and genuine atmosphere.
Ultimately, Brooklyn Beso offers more than just a meal or a drink—it provides a small, joyful escape within the neighborhood, a place where the spirit of Brooklyn’s diverse cultural heartbeat can be felt in every carefully crafted plate and poured glass.

Guest Reviews
Popped in last minute and I must say I really enjoyed my meal. The drinks were also very nice. Don’t believe the bad reviews, drop in and give it a try for yourself. My only suggestion to the chef would be to go a little lighter on the seasoning in the oxtail. Thanks for your great service, Malcolm!
Enjoyed myself here! Solo friendly too, there were at least three other solo diners there (not including myself). The food was nice, the vibes great - I heard Afrobeats, Soca, RnB and Hip Hop music. I had a great time overall. Nicely priced. Only disappointment was that only Tapas Tuesday menu was available which was a bit limiting; affordable though. I would have liked to taste other things on the menu. Service also slowed as they got busier but it can be understood.
Ok, this was our first time here, and I must tell you the drinks were good. The food starts with the wings and fries, then next to the red velvet chicken and waffles omg. My friend had the Mac and cheese with oxtails..got damn it was good. This place is definitely worth visiting. We shall be back, that's for sure. Yes, the atmosphere is relaxing and worthy.
The food was fantastic I got the chicken and French toast it was definitely more then enough. The chicken was amazingly cooked along withthe thick cut French toast and my boyfriend got the ox tail mac and cheese and he said it was amazing I tried the ox tail and it in fact was amazing cant wait to go back !
The oxtail macaroni and cheese was flavorful and wonderful TASTING. I really enjoyed it nicely seasoned succulent meat. The oxtail pasta was also a delightful dish as well. Very nicely al dente pasta with succulent oxtails also. Very nice eating area towards the back. The front of the bar is great also. I also tried their wings some time ago they are also very good. Happy eating everyone. I will definitely be back again and again and again
Came here from work craving pasta and Chef AL recommended the new sea food pasta with shrimp, lobster, and salmon. Listen to me, it’s absolutely delicious and the seafood is cooked beautifully. And the seafood is so fresh!!! I always get great service when here and my favorite waitress is Tolia!
