*too long didn't read: Walked in as a first time customer with low expectations, walked out $17 poorer, and still hungry..* Let me please begin this by saying that I have high standards for mexican food, as I moved to Brooklyn from San Diego. So when approaching a new spot i walk in with VERY low expectations. I usually go to the mexican food truck not fifty yards down the street from this place. The food truck usually comes in the evenings, so this afternoon i walked into this shop. I had never been there before, this was my first time. When initially telling the man at the front that it was my first time here, he gladly helped me through some of the options in the menu. Service was exceptional, he walked me through the menu with great ease and confidence. I do now think that I was being sold. I asked for a 12" verde fajita DOUBLE carnitas, add Pico De Gilla, add jalapeño burrito what I received was a flavorless mush in a wet tortilla. (Most) everything I had asked for was on it, and everything it came with as well (apart from the jalapeño's -and even that isn't a big deal if im being honest-) i expected maybe... just the meat to have a better flavor/texture than unseasoned unbuttered mashed potatoes? it was particularly unnerving to have the distribution of ingredients be so haphazard. one second I was biting into overcooked Spanish rice, the next, just one mouthful of mush that tasted like porridge in meat form, right after a glob of guac additionally, I WANT TO STATE FOR THE RECORD I tipped 20% and do not regret it, those workers deserve every penny. I myself am a bartender. which is why I felt so compelled to write this. the food is BLAND BABY. if she was a spice, she would be flour! B L A N D MUSH and absolutely NOT worth the $17.50 I ended up paying (and then taking home, deconstructing, spicing it up, and heating it all together into some form of edible arrangement. just go 50 yards away to the boys with the taco truck. at least when you ask them for hot sauce they give you that AND THEN SOME. ONE last note: I asked for hot sauce on the side when i ordered my food. It wasn't in the bag when I received it (no biggie) they happily gave it to me upon request. However it's due to this that I witnessed, with my own two optic stems, the man on the grill physically pour the sauce for me. when I went home, took that first initial disappointing bite of the "original flavor tapioca pudding" they call meat, i was hoping to save it with some damn hot sauce. that amazing spicy flavorful burst of either green or red sauce to add that extra kick (or any kick tbh) only to taste an even more disappointing bland and flavorless sauce i've ever had before. My wife thought it was marinara sauce. If you're into quick food, and overpriced flavorless protein by all means hit this place up, ther can get you a soggy sad burrito in less time than the disappointing wrap you'd get from the bodega on the corner nearby. If you wanna spend less and get more flavor hit up the taco truck (in the evenings) just down the block. tonight however, i'm eating ramen..

Went there for the first time today and had such a great impression that I wanted to leave a review. I went in for breakfast burritos for me and my partner and the staff working there were very helpful. My partner likes things spicier than I do and they were super helpful in describing the different spice levels and figuring out what would best fit our tastes. They were super friendly and speedy. The burritos were absolutely delicious and my partner loved the coffee (which stayed super hot on my walk to the apartment, watch your hands!!!). Definitely one of the best experiences I've had with a restaurant in awhile and I will 100% be back. Highly recommended!

Best Burritos in Crown Heights!!! The chips and guac is always fresh, give a try to the "Diablo Steak" burrito if you like spicy food is amazing!! Great seasoning!!

The ingredients are very high quality. They did not skimp on the steak, and all the ingredients were fresh. I was extremely happy and will order here again. They were also very quick. The prices are reasonable to other burrito places. I would recommend trying this place

I'm basing this off of a Grubhub order. This has to be the worst food I've ever had in my life. This is also the most over priced food I've ever had in my life. I thought the price of the tacos was insane but figured for the price the food must be excellent. Boy was I wrong. The steak in the taco was wet ? and you have to pay extra for any protein that's in the tacos ? I've had authentic Mexican food where 2 tacos are less than 1/2 the price they were here and came with more on it. The chicken in the burrito tasted like the smell of shredded cat food and the steak also had a really weird off taste to it. The burrito and tacos were completely inedible and went straight to the garbage after one tiny bite. The only positive was the chips from the chips and guacamole stayed crunchy and the carrot cake was good. Literally that's it. Also no limes or hot sauce included for the tacos ? I find it hard to believe this is actually a Mexican restaurant.

Too expensive... 20 dollars for a burrito is outrageous.
This Place went from Good to Bad so fast I’m not sure if it’s owned by somebody else.But the prices going up for less food.The corn is Terrible 0 Flavor.Don’t get a hard shell taco the time you get home it’s soggy.Went from actual to cheese sauce.$20 for 2 taco and side of corn!

FALSE ADVERTISING!!!! They advertise a lunch special with a free soda or water for 6.99 And it's $2 to add a meat This doesn't include anything on the menu, apparently So when I asked for the lunch special and what my options were. The cashier prompted me to the menu "All burritos are included and only 2 bowls" So I chose a bowl, and this is what I was charged!

A bit pricey compared to other places, but the burritos are awesome, guac is super fresh, and whoever's behind the counter is always been friendly.
