According to one of the people sprucing up the old Barrette space on Vanderbilt, the forthcoming Mexican joint Pequena is shooting for a late-August opening. The exterior is already looking muy colorful.

  1. What a lovely storefront.

    DH, this is the second Pequena’s (the other is in Ft Greene) and the same owners as Moe’s, Maggie Brown and Olea.

    1. Happy hour is 2 for 1 fresh Margaritas.
    2. The chips and Guacamole is $7.
    3. Service is good.

  2. I really loved the exterior of this place. The iron feathers were really inspired. I saw the new folks painting them yesterday. Too bad IMO.

    Best of luck with the new venture. I wish it was La Super-Rica. I really crave their food, especially the homemade tortillas. If only it could be as good. I would be in heaven.

  3. Here’s some free pointers:

    1) Carry tequila and know how to make margaritas
    2) don’t charge 10-15 bucks for guacamole ‘made tableside’ – make good guac in the kitchen and charge a decent price.
    3) employ servers who aren’t douchebags.

    So pretty much do the opposite of every other mexican joint in brooklyn.
