Met some family from out of town for lunch here. We sat outside in a lovely courtyard. Drinks and food were delicious. Service was great. We would come here again.

Our family are very glad we chose Gran Electrica for some very tasty drinks! We enjoyed a Moscow mule, Sangria, IPA beer and spicy margarita! Next time we will try the patio for lunch. Highly recommend!

These margaritas are not to be trifled with, and the tacos will keep you coming back. There isn't a bad thing on the menu. And in the summer, you can sit in the shaded, lovely garden, right under the Brooklyn Bridge. Do it!

Parking is decent. You can usually find street parking. You may have to drive around or park a block or 2 away, but not bad.
