Editorial Review for Benny's Burritos to Go--East Village – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Benny's is a lively, slightly kitschy spot (Haight Street-meets-1960s surfers' den) that serves large portions of made-to-order Tex Mex for relatively low prices. East Villagers stream in for sit-down meals or takeout, and call ahead for neighborhood delivery. The lengthy menu includes veggie, bean, cheese and meat-filled burritos, as well as classic tacos and tostados.

What happened to Benny's? I've been going there since the 1980s and it used to be a fun, inexpensive place to get some eats and hang out. Went there last night to find that their prices went up at least $1 each item and more in some cases! This is still the East Village! I know all these fancier restaurants are getting more, but you are still giving me beans, rice, and tortillas. Even the rise in the price of rice doesn't warrant this kind of price raising. I found Paquitos over on First Avenue and their prices are more reasonable. Sorry, Benny's, I loved you for 12+ years, but you're going in the "Remember when the East Village was cool and not full of the after-work crowds" list. It was fun while it lasted. Remember...you're still just making Mexican food. $10 for some beans, lettuce, salsa, and meat? Cummmmon!
Pros: corner location
Cons: prices are too high for mediocre Mexican food

Food are okay for the price, nothing mind blowing. Guacamole and salsa could be better. Margaritas are delicious. Poor service, it took me a while to get someone's attention and I had no idea who was my server because they were all lounging at the bar chit chatting. When I got the waitress attention, she seemed annoyed and has some attitude issue. Maybe I should just sit at the bar next time for a more efficient service......only if i ever go back again....
Pros: Delicious margaritas, cozy ambience
Cons: slow, terible service
