It is so hard to find good Mexican food in New York City. I am crying. Bland, boring, and slow. That is what I thought of this restaurant. Nothing really good, but nothing too terrible, save for the salsa which is absolutely terrible. The burrito is barely edible. It tasted like they took it out of a box and heated it up in the oven. The Mexican rice and refried beans are not bad, but when you have burrito in your name, it must be good. Sadly, it is not. The tortilla soup is not much better either. Barely any cheese, and too many tortilla strips. Add in some chicken and I will be happy. This let me down. If someone can get me some tissues, that would be great. read more

Don Burrito - Burrito Norteno - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Amazing little spot. You get what you pay for so cannot complain about anything. Food is seasoned and cooked well. The salsa and chips they presented us with were FRESH. The host was lovey. Margarita and Michelada were great and affordable prices at less than 7$. This is like difficult to find anywhere. The margarita did taste like bottled lemon juice or lemonade, but like I said, you get what you pay for and everything was top notch at that. As for the atmosphere, they play Mexican music in the background at an appropriate frequency. The decor is vibrant and heart warming. And they also have out door heaters :) read more

Seems that they've fired the inappropriate staff member and improved the quality of the food as well. Happy to be back! Love the server!

Don burrito is a staple in the neighborhood. I'm so happy it's there. Everyone is very attentive when taking your order. I've never had any issues ordering with them. The guac is always made fresh. The shrimp fajitas are my faves. All of the fajitas come out on a sizzling cast iron plate. Their sangria is amazing and always has fresh grapes and apples in it. We always get the pitcher because it's so good. It's the best in the summertime. read more

I very very very rarely give bad reviews, so you know you did something wrong when I give one star This review is for delivery. We decided to order in on Friday night, because I mean, who wants to spend Friday night cooking and doing dishes. We ordered quesadillas and two horchatas. The food itself was fine, but while unpacking it we saw that the horchatas were missing. So we decided to call the place to report it. And that's when the adventures started. We called to tell them about the missing horchatas, and they immediately hung up on us. We called back, and this time a very rude lady answered. She complained about being very busy, and then got impatient and started yelling at us. Eventually said she will send the delivery guy back to refund us the money for the horchatas. After that she yelled "bye" in a very rude manner and hung up again. The delivery person came back ten minutes later. He tried to give us the money we gave to him as a tip, and apologized to us about keeping the tip...wtf. We don't want his tip money back, we just want the store to refund the fucking horchata. We called the store again. After five minutes on the phone with the wicked witch herself, the delivery guy just pulled out some money from his wallet and gave it to us. The guy seemed apologetic and dismayed, so I don't blame it on him. Rather the store for being incredibly rude and unprofessional. Food is decent, but the lady who answers the phone is just horrendous. How the hell can you work in customer service with an attitude like that? read more

This is my favorite place to get take out in Ditmas Park. The food is surprisingly healthy and the prices are very reasonable. My recommendations are the enchiladas verdes, the enchiladas ranchers, and the quesadilla. I've also had the shrimp fajitas which are great!! read more

Overall the best Mexican restaurant in this part of brooklyn!!! I've been going to this place for over 10 years and the food is still amazing! Anything you order on the menu is just filled with flavor! Quesadilla hacienda. carne asada chicken quesadilla and not to mention the chips and salsa are to die for!!! Grade A read more

This place is awful. Awful service, awfully overcooked food, and an awfully forgetful staff. After the server served us our drinks he forgot about us completely for half an hour to forty minutes. We had to go up and remind him of our existence! He forgot my beer and needed to be reminded about the food. He claimed it would be 6 more minutes with a look of surprise on his face. Lo and behold it was within 50 seconds that he brought it out. When the food came it was overcooked, under seasoned, and dry as the Sahara desert. I will not be coming back. In fact, go around the corner to much superior El Paso restaurant. read more

Beyond excellent customer service I will be coming back the food is well !! Priced the drinks as well the margaritas were only $6 I will be back thank you read more

Don Burrito - a plate of mexican food - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've been going to this restaurant since 2013 when we moved to the neighborhood. I love them!!! All the food on their menu is healthy and authentic Mexican. Prices are reasonable. Sometimes we order home delivery but honestly I love just going there to have my favorite quesadillas, chicken soup and sangria. It always feels like home. For years we see there the same stuff, it's a very family neighborhood place almost not noticeable from the street. Highly recommend them . read more

Horrible food, horrible service, horribly small portions. Waitress spoke no English. We waited 40 minutes after ordering for our food. We both were hungry 30 minutes after leaving. Food had no flavor. read more

So far I've had the Norteno and Mexicana burritos via delivery. Food arrived timely and piping hot. The steak tasted great and the rice had great texture, but was pretty bland. The guacamole was awful. It didn't seem fresh to me at all. read more

This little restaurant might go unnoticed but it's worth a visit. This is not your corner, greasy spoon. It is what actual families in Mexico would eat in their own homes on a daily basis. I love the hacienda quesadilla. My brother likes the porkshop with the potato. My husband likes the sausage dish with the egg on top. The guac is fantastic and the staff is wonderful. read more

If you're in a mood for HOT SOUP, then have the chicken or tortilla soup. Best soups I've ever had at a Mexican restaurant in a long time! I rarely write reviews, but had to spread the word... Enjoy! read more

I always asked for that place or I went because I love that food, and when the guy takes me to the phone he is very kind patient and respectful. but let me tell you that the lady who also answers the phone needs a lot of patience and professionalism. SHE IS A DETESTABLE PERSON. It is very sad that for people like her, many clients move away from certain places. read more

I've been coming here for years... I love they're burrito, salsa and chips. But everything is always good. The waiter is always nice and friendly. read more

We have been to Don Burrito's several times and always wonder why it is not mobbed. The food is always fresh and the wait staff, while not always the quickest, are very friendly and helpful. I recommend the salad with the grilled chicken which is outstanding in its simplicity and taste. For those who like heavier food, try the burritos and nachos...both are packed with flavor and have enough meat and cheese to last you a week! read more

Our search for good Mexican food within reasonable driving distance continues. Based on the stellar Yelp reviews we came. The food was fine, not memorable. It's been less than week, and I have no recollection of what we ate. No complaints about service. If we lived around the neighborhood, we would probably drop in once a while for a bite to eat. But it was a bit of drive for us, so we won't be coming back. If you live in the neighborhood, it's a fine local place to eat. read more

I live in the area and order from Don Burrito a few times a month, it's a good solid delivery standby when my husband and I are craving Mexican. We don't eat at the restaurant much, but when we do we find it very kid-friendly. I like their guacamole, and they do a good chicken burrito, the steak and onion one is good too. Last time I ate there I asked the waiter what his favorite dish was and he said the spinach enchiladas. I ordered them and OMG they are incredible! They are in a green sauce and simply to DIE for. Order them, you won't be disappointed. The only item I don't like is their rice. UPDATED: I have since discovered the Hacienda Quesadilla. My favorite thing on the menu. And their house salad. Yes, really, it's super good with lots of avocado and a green cucumber (?) dressing that is super yummy. read more

The food was okay. The service was ridiculous. I came in for takeout for 1 dish, it took FOREVER to get my order. While I sat and waited 20 minutes, I asked for complementary chips like the other tables were eating. They said $2 extra since I wasn't eating in the place. No thanks. Then they tried to charge me extra for hot sauce (WHO DOES THAT) and when I asked why, they started talking sh*t about me in Spanish as I was standing in front of them. I confronted them, they rolled their eyes, and I exited their dusty restaurant - having paid $12 for a dish that was listed as $8.75 on the menu. Jerks. read more

Delicious food and drinks. We go there almost every week and it's one of my favorite restaurants around. Their margaritas are amazing.

A friend took me here for a quick bite. It is truly a gem hidden between MTA's construction high fences. I didn't even know it exist until he pointed the restaurant out. The decor e.g. mini-Aztec fountain on counter (remember drainage system from Machu Picchu?) was nice, the staff was friendly and the music was not too loud. We ordered Burrito Poblano and Burrito Norteno for take out. Both dishes come with Mexican rice and Refried beans. The rice was soft and fluffy, and the refried beans was moist. Now comes the burrito: the mole poblano sauce was slight spicy, with melting cheese on top. The chicken pieces was a little dry, but with the sauce it tasted better. Although I am not a big fan of cheese, so I took the cheese topping out, the chicken and the mole sauce combination was still good. My friend's Burrito Norteno was really tasty. It came with sour cream and guacamole, two of my favorite Spanish cuisine ingredients in one dish, yummy! I am planning to try more on their menu. read more

Home cooking! Nothing like the delicious cooking from Don B! A perennial favorite. Chicken soup. Spinach quesadillas. Salsa. Guacamole. So much sabor. read more

Texacalifornewyorker says: Excellent mole!!! 5 stars for the mole! These enchiladas were great, and last for two meals! Inexpensive and good guac too! Order the side (about $3) and it's enough for 2-3 people. I also tried the horchata which was not the best, and the salsa is too mild, but once you have the mole you will be happy! read more

Super unprofessional. I called to make an order out for delivery and was hung up on twice, while speaking English. I had my sister I law call who speaks Spanish and they took her order very politely. Bottom line is if you speak Spanish go here, if not... You will receive horrible service. read more

50$ for 3 old burritos put in the MICROWAVE? Fucking DISGUSTING. I immeadietly left. NEVER coming back. I wish I could give this 0 stars if I could. Why would the whole plate be hot but the burrito inside was cold? MICROWAVES. Do NOT eat here. Waste of time and money. read more

I've ordered from once, and carried out the other time, and I was not displeased either time. Their nachos are made extremely well and the cheese that covers them is fantastic. Adding a protein to it is also a nice option. The burrito I ordered the first time lasted me two days which was a nice surprise. It was also great that it came with rice and refried beans. I'm excited to try more new things here! Definitely try out their chicken soup, a small order actually has quite a bit if you're ordering in and it's got lots of good stuff in there. Chicken, avocado, carrots, potatoes, and cilantro I believe. All I know is mmmmmmmmm! read more

I go to Don Burrito simply to order the guacamole..... Yes guacamole and it is DELICIOUS! I always get treated really nice when I go there. When I sop by for dinner.... I will surely update my review...... People try the GUACAMOLE.....YUMMY YUM YUM..... LOL! read more

I had a craving for Mexican and since I was in the area, I decided to stop in. The restaurant screams Mexican culture with its colors, textures and patterns. I greatly appreciated that aspect of it. After looking over the menu, I decided on chips and guacamole (esp since Yelpers raved over it). The time it took for just one order of chips and guacamole was close to twenty minutes. The restaurant was not busy at all with only a family who already was eating when I walked in as well as a couple who had just received their meals before I ordered. When I went to pay, I was told the minimum for debit/credit card is $10. So I looked over the menu and order the mini steak burrito, which was categorized under the kids menu. The steak mini burrito took another 15 minutes, totally close to 40 minutes. The service is slow. Having waited quite some time, I was anxious to munch on chips and guacamole since that is one of my fav things to eat. Nope, not this. Guacamole is subpar at best. I like my guacamole with a little kick. This one he none of that and was bland. Additionally, because I had to order another item, my chips weren't warm anymore. As for the mini steak burrito. The word slim best describes the burrito. However, it is on the kids menu so I was not expecting a humongous stuffed burrito but I wasn't expecting that size as well. The burrito was accompanied with yellow rice and veggies and refried beans. Overall, I enjoyed it. I'd get a burrito again. I'm not counting this place out. I'll return for a full-fledge meal. read more

My April fools day OK listen to this people I need all the opinions around Why ? because I'm angry and like to know who's the crazy one here :) Dulce: i decided to order food from a Mexican restaurant around my house i was lazy didn't want to deal with cooking :) Well me here picky eater. I order a carne asada change the rice beans for salad and i clearly said no cheese no sour cream i hate them. also said i need a really spice sauce Deliver: Get here guess what no salsa they send me rice when i clearly said what i want and what i don't need. Dulce: I call angry delivery took forever to get here 2. food was wrong owner: of the restaurant answers the phone first thing shes says well we charge extra for the salsa (which i didn't have a problem) she was angry talking to the customer pretty nasty and she said who are you to change my menu ( i answer well no i didn't it says on the menu if you don't like rice and beans you could get salad) I told her don't you know that customers are always Right she answer back really nasty telling me i was not going to teach her how to run her business i told her well i been coming to your restaurant for about six years now and this is the way you treat your customers (guess what she hang up on me) Angry Dulce: Calls back angry owner answers the phone I said send someone to pick up the food i don't want it. I ask her to take the charge out of my card i was not going to pay for something i didn't like. i was so mad i wasn't hungry anymore. Angry owner: says you go ahead have it. now the mexican way (comeeeetela muy sucia yo tela regalo con el tono de verdulera) she said eat it have it but the nasty way really dirty mexican slang. She also said not to go her restaurant she doesn't care for my business. all end up pretty bad the food still in my fridge. i was encabronadisima why? because the conversation was in Spanish all the time so she knew i'm mexican so she can treat me like shit she knows that i'm not going to do anything. Now if it was any other race speaking English the situation was going to be different Question????? Do you like to know the name of the restaurant? Who's nuts here? i need a number where i can call to make a big complaint so this is where i need your help people :) I know it sound crazy but come on people not one person has the right to disrespect you like that. That was my miserable April fools day. and trust me it was not a joke this angry owner is mean. Now i have to say the carne asada is delicious Mean people SUCK read more

Ok, there are a lot almost authentic Mexican food there, but this is real. Great vibes, food, prices and staff... read more

I have to say, the east coast sucks at mexican food (california girl here!) but this has been consistently the best option for burritos and tacos I've come across since moving to Brooklyn. Going vegan narrowed my options down but still had to come on here and show my love for the place that hit the spot when I was craving good burrito! read more

If you are alright with so so service, the Don's burritos are for you. Maybe the best burrito in Brooklyn. I stop here usually on Mondays and Friday for lunch (they sometime open later than usual). I tried all the burritos, all of them were good. I even eat them 3 hours later when I'm in a rush, and they still taste great. But, as good as the burritos, be prepared to wait. Come before you are starving, and you will still be happy with the place. read more

The best Mexican place in whole aria, delicious food ! You'll find Mexican guys making their family parties/gatherings there -that talks. And at the same time, prices will surprise you. THE BEST! read more

Had some kind of burrito, either pork or beef........all I kno is it was damn good. It came with rice and beans which were also pretty good. Glad we finally have good Mexican food in my neighbourhood. Prices aren't too bad either. read more

Pretty good actually! Good portion size for the price. The downsides were: waiting for my take out order (two things---spinach quesadilla and sopes) took almost 30 mins., and they had no more horchata. Saw signs for sangria specials, but didn't get to try them this visit. read more

I bookmarked this place and rode my bike over, but had a hard time finding it because it doesn't actually face any street, but is along a row of small businesses near the subway entrance. Just an FYI for other visitors. That said, it was pretty good. As a former Southwesterner, this wouldn't rate 4 stars in border states, but they cleared the bar in terms of basics. Decent chips/salsa, a variety of combo plates, good re-fried beans, and my steak burrito was cooked well with decent beef. My only qualm, food wise, was that the burro could have used some sauce - bordering on to dry. Also the waiter was pretty slow and never checked in without being waved at. That said, I don't think it's worth a big trek, but if in the area, it's not a bad fix should you be hankering from some Southwestern-Mex. read more

My love affair with the Burrito Norteno began when one night the Fishermans Cove was out of food. I haven't been back since. Newkirk Plaza has never been the same again. While I love and appreciate family owned businesses, my experiences here have been iffy as everything moves as slowwww as molasses here. Don't come here hungry, you may faint! read more
