Great Burrito

Ubercheap, Muy Bueno!

by lonb at Citysearch

This dungeon of delicious Mexican food is literally a hole in the wall on the south east corner of 23rd & 6th. But it is the best Mex I've had, hands down. The quesdilla de chorizo is outrageous, and the burritos are huge and delicious. Average, gut-busting meal is $5.50 How can you go wrong!? Its decor is dirty but the food is clean, trust me -- try it!.

• Pros: delicious, cheap, authentic
• Cons: small, dirty-looking

Proceed with Caution

I'm a big fan of Burritos (as my waistline will attest) and a fairly adventurous eater, but this place was one trek I could have lived without. The ambience doesn't particularly matter to me as this place is essentially a take-out stand. What does matter, however, is that I can identify the contents of my burrito, which I was unable to do at this establishment. Both my colleague and I were inquiring about the "mystery" meat, at least the portions of it that would not be classified as fat and grizzle. To say my experience was disappointing would be a gross understatement. Simply put, NYC has a lot of other places to try, which I plan to do, and I encourage you to do the same.

Great fast Mexican food

by burke_thomas at Citysearch

More of a takeout place with only 4 crowded tables, Great Burrito offers some of the most authentic, tasty, and cheap Mexican food within miles. Don't be turned off by the fact that they serve pizza as well - the tacos, enchiladas, and quesadillas are outstanding. The best roast pork (al pastor) in the city.
