Justin DickinsonNovember 27, 2018The kind of place you regret losing when it eventually becomes a juice bar. Breakfast burrito satisfied my craving and more. Chorizo, eggs, beans. Flex on yourself and get the one with potatoes.
Jason BrewFebruary 21, 2016Great spot to stop for a breakfast burrito. The breakfast chorizo burrito is especially good
Avneesh KohliOctober 1, 2018Excellent authentic, home style Mexican food. Dishes are simpler than you’re used to, but really good. Be sure to ask for the green hot sauce on your burrito - worth it.
Adam HillAugust 7, 2014Hidden gem.Cheap,messy,delicious Mexican food the way it should be.Owner told me his abuela grows the jalapenos&habaneros in her garden.Can't verify that but the peppers are definitely fresh & spicy
Alex RobertsonMay 8, 2022First time I was here I liked the torta a lot (see previous tip) but after eating a plate of meat my second time and a carnitas burrito visit #3 I’m not SO sure. Definitely pretty good though
Denis SosnovtsevJune 19, 2016Want a breakfast burrito or breakfast taco? This is the place to go (until 3pm, daily). Spectacular. Ranchero burrito was the best.
Village VoiceJune 3, 2013This Mexican bakery brought with it pan dulce and antojitos, but as the menu expanded, the baked goods faded away and what we're left with is one of the best and cheapest Mexican restaurants in town.
Andrew WeiserMarch 28, 2018Downtown Bakery particularly excels at breakfast tacos, for which you can request flour tortillas for a bit of Austin nostalgia.
Kameron PearsonAugust 9, 2017Best adobo ever! Tamales and wet burritos too! Hands down best authentic Mexican food in the city. Hole in the wall place. Super friendly staff. They make you feel like family.
AdrienOctober 13, 2015If you feel carnivorous in the morning, the La Morena (chipotle chicken burrito) and Juicy Lucy (pulled pork carnitas quesadilla) specials are exactly what you need!
Their (off menu) specialties are the massive and spicy El Caballo burrito, the more reasonably sized La Morena burrito, and the Juicy Lucy quesadillas. Try one!
Lucy XuMay 4, 2017Truly the best burrito in Manhattan. Must-try's: anything with chicken or pork, extra spicy.
EthanFebruary 17, 2017What a hidden gem. Got the potato breakfast burrito and added chorizo, was not disappointed.
Dustin LeeJune 2, 2019The breakfast burrito has to be the best in the city. So hard to find one comparable to Austin/Houston but they have it
Tina AlexanderNovember 13, 2017Flavorful good food, served by gentle people. Prompt service. Mouthwatering taste. Elaborate menu. Good for any meal.
CarolineJuly 9, 2018excels at breakfast tacos, for which you can request flour tortillas. Regular taco fillings and corn tortillas also
Great mexican food for an honest price. Cash only. Breakfast burritos are awesome and so was the mole.- Village VoiceMay 31, 2012Ever had Downtown's Tacos de Papa? You should: it's number two on Robert Sietsema's list of top five favorite breakfast tacos in NYC.
Josh UptonSeptember 13, 2014Amazing breakfast burritos, delicious and crazy spicy enchiladas suizas all for great prices and super nice staff.
Kelsey LeeApril 25, 2014The chips with spicy guacamole were the perfect snack, although the guac didn't seem that spicy to me.
Tell them what you're in the mood for and they will whip up something muy delicioso
Beats Chipotle anyday. Get the shrimp tacos with grapefruit jarritos.
Ben RAugust 7, 2014There are better choices nearby (Puebla, Tacos Morelos) but they make a good burrito and the price is right.
The breakfast burritos are best of class, and are apparently available all day - go for the chorizo con papa
I am maybe a little bit obsessed with the breakfast burrito.
Get the special carnitas quesadilla called "Juicy Lucy"

"Great options here if you want Mexican but lighter, healthier options. Try the grilled shrimp tacos (so fresh and satisfying) and the tamales (delicious)!"
