I am a frequent visitor of Great Burrito these days, getting their at least once every week. I usually go around noon to get my lunch. I order 2 beef and a 1 chicken taco. Usually they make them with 2 tortilla each, but I request them to use 1. The chef cooks the meat right in front, prepares and packs the tacos in about 5-10 minutes. One time I was able to put take out order thru Grubhub as well. The order was ready upon arrival. It was an easy pick up process. I love their large size tacos. The chicken is good but the beef is even better. Both have such tasty flavor. Even though the restaurant is not the best place to sit and dine, but their food quality and service are very impressive to me. read more

A Great Burrito. I woke up feeling like gambling so I got the tongue (lengua) burrito. I was shocked because the meat was delicious. The burrito does not really have much other fillings besides the beans, cheese, rice, and meat but it was simply a great burrito. There was the included side salad that i was able to mix my bites in for my preferred balanced burrito eating experience. The stripes of sour cream were very visually pleasing as well. The place itself is a NYC hole in the wall not much to say there. It's nice how there was some seating though so we could all enjoy our food in our group of four. They were extra nice since we spilled an entire Dunkin matcha on the table and floor and they were very nice about it and helped us clean it up without being upset at all. read more

Great Burrito - Enchiladas and a Great Burrito - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

Not sure why it's called Great Burrito, could have been really good years ago, but not now. Went yesterday, place is not clean pretty dirty looking restaurant, my burrito was $15, and only had meat, rice and beans, and the outside was super greasy. Was really bad to mediocre, considering it's nyc and there are many many much greater places that over better burritos and Mexican food with much higher quality and flavor. Disappointed that a place called Great Burrito made a really mediocre burrito. Hard pass on this place, save your money and go to a Mexican food truck, better prices, larger portions, more dynamic burrito with better quality ingredients. read more

This is the best taco burrito spot in flatiron, we ordered 150 tacos last min and they were amazing. The team here came through. The service was 1000/10 Everyone order the rice!!!! Ambiance 10/10 Everyone go order your food here it's incredible and a family owned business in midtown. Go support read more

This has been my favorite place for so long. I went in college on the recommendation of a friend, and now I'm a loyal customer of 7 years. They are quick and family owned. It's a small place, but if there's no seats, I take it to go and eat in Madison Square Park. I introduced another friend and she had them cater her birthday party. I go whenever I'm in the area... which is all the time. I'd recommend the steak tacos and a horchata. read more

Should be called Terrible Burrito. Worst burrito I've ever had in my entire life or at least a very long time. Not only was it small for $16 only had rice beans and a little meat. The meat inedible chicken first bite had a big bone that cut the roof of my mouth. Second bite again bone.. after the third bite of inedible meat with gristle. I left. I would avoid this place at all costs. Not sure what there food rating is buts is a def hole in the wall dirty and smelled like old onions. I tipped $1 for something that I should have got a refund for. Tons of other good options for Mexican food in the city. 4 stars from people who must not have ever had any decent Mexican food ever. read more

Quick service, would go back to try other things. I got a chicken burrito and it was good. No frills spot and nice people.

The quality of the food has taken a hit since 2020. An unfortunate disappointment, this used to be a great go-to for me. My partner got a non-food item mixed into his food, which was a gross find. read more

Great Burrito - Chicken chilaquiles in salsa verde and beef special with rice and beans. - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

My friend and I were so hungry by the time we came in, so I was quite excited for this. We each got a lengua taco, carnitas taco, and grilled steak taco. I think it was $4/taco, which is on par with other trucks and sit down places in the area. All of the tacos were great. The carnitas was seasoned excellently, grilled steak as also great, and the lengua, although not amongst the best I've had, wasn't too bad either. There's about 3 tables in the space -- one large (4 people), and 2 smaller ones (2 people.) It seemed like most people were doing take out. Glad I found this place. It's in a good location, and I'll probably return at some point. read more

I do like that this business is run by people that really know how to make tacos and authentic Tex-Mex food. They seem to be hard working and passionate and it's a really tiny hole in the wall spot in a neighborhood that thrives off of new and shiny things that costs way too much money. Anyway, the prices here must have increased drastically like everywhere else. Because this isn't cheap. Maybe it once was and I missed that window. I came in to order two burritos (one chicken and one pork) and they came out to $14 a pop. Yes, they were huge and the size of my head so it's probably worth the value at the end of the day (I still have almost half a burrito for lunch today). Stocked full of tasty meat and yellow rice and I think pinto beans. Not much vegetable in there but why do I need vegetables anyway? Their salsa is legitimately insanely hot. And this is coming from someone with a really high heat tolerance. I like it though because it was both flavorful and blow my intestines out the door. One thing I wish they did was mark the containers on which was pork and which was chicken because I had to play a tricky guessing game when I got home. It is pretty dirty inside. I would definitely opt to take your food to go. They weirdly also serve pizza? I can't say how it tastes or what it looks like but I am kind of intrigued by that one. read more

First time and was disappointed and disgusted. Not only was the food expensive it was not well cooked. There were strands of hair inside my sandwich absolutely disgusting, they didn't apologize nor offered to remake the food. read more

The first time I came here, was in 2016 -- it was my first extended stay in NY and I serendipitously stumbled upon this place. To my memory, this is the best Mexican food I've had on the East Coast, and rivals a lot of restaurants in SF (at least as good as) and LA (portions here are way bigger). I don't think they even changed the prices since 2016 which is amazing. I had a hard time remembering where this was, but my new office is nearby so I guess it's a blessing in disguise. Highly recommended if you ever need a pick me up in the area. read more

This place is absolutely top notch! I always order the torta al pastor so can only comment on that but it's one of the best things I ever ate. The only negative is it's very very messy so don't wear a silk blouse or anything not washable. Everything is made to order so not super fast but the people are extremely nice. read more

Very delicious food, just had the steak quesadilla and it is a corn tortilla, cheese, beans and sour cream right on top. Cooked to perfection and truly an authentic Mexican spot. Their hot sauce is so good I could drink i. read more

The beef was so tender and I loved how perfectly seasoned the rice was. I really loved the rice! Their spicy red sauce was literally a hit of flavor, you could feel the burn from sauce. I liked the cream on it. It was really messy to eat but it was super good. The burrito was only 14 dollars but to me, better than chipotle. I like this place and I would def come back. read more

Great Burrito - Asada, lengua, & al pastor taco--100! Yes I see the lemon. Lime would be preferable, but the tacos are amazing regardless. - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

Awesome burrito spot not far from 5th avenue. This place makes food that's very authentic and rich in flavor. I ordered the carnitas, tongue and chorizo tacos. It was delicious! Well seasoned and cooked just right. The tacos are not small in size and expect to eat around 3 to get full. Prices are reasonable and they have a wide range of items. Even on a rainy night this hidden gem was packed. I'll definitely be back to sample their other Mexican dishes. read more

Decent Mexican restaurant. Its more pricey than I would like. The food is alright and they deliver. Not a bad place overall to eat at.

Yum oh yum, no wonder there are so many good reviews here. I was starving and I'm so glad I found this little burrito place. If you're looking for a fine dining sit down place, please move along. This is more of a small, slight hole in the wall but serves an awesome delicious taco. With only 4 tables, you really can't stay too long. Most people just get it to go but not me. I was determined to experience the whole thing. And let's just say, it was tasty. Ordered the grilled chicken topped with onions, their secret sauce, hot sauce, rice, cilantro, on two soft tacos. $3. Yes, $3!! Easy on the wallet. Next time I come back, and yes, trust me, there will be a next time, I'll try the beef. read more

Great Burrito - Steak taco and chicken quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

This is a "local 5 stars" not a "take the bus and train from Danbury 5 stars." I've enjoyed the speedy, 24-hour, PATH-friendly burritos, enchiladas and tacos for many years. Al pastor may be the best choice. Vegetarian isn't bad. The pizza is o.k. but you can get pizza anywhere. After trying everything on the smallish menu I was glad to see they're branching out into specials. Last night I opted for steak over chile rellenos. While the dish would have benefited from a sauce or some other unifying element, all of the individual components were enjoyable, especially the jalapenos. I agree with Hannah T. that the taco is better than the burrito if you're not into rice. read more

The food is good but, unfortunately the prices have gone up on average $5 per entry with portions going down. I understand they are probably paying more for their groceries, but that price hike is way too big. Not ever going again or recommending it read more

It's been years since my original review and I'm impressed this place is still going strong. While the prices have gone up, it's still a good value. The pork tostada was a delicious mess to eat. They somehow squeezed in another table so there are 4 inside. It may not be the best Mexican in the Five Boroughs, but it's a good neighbor spot. read more

Great Burrito - Al pastor tostada - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

This is a really, really small place across the street from the Best Buy on 23rd Street. Behind the counter they cook the food and there is a tiny seating area so this is just for takeout or for a quick meal. I give this place props because this is an authentic Mexican place. Other than tacos and burritos, they serve things like sopes, huaraches, and quesadillas. Interestingly enough, they also serve pizza. Not some special Mexican pizza, but just standard NYC pizza. Their food tastes fine. The only problem is that their prices are higher and their portions are smaller than similar Mexican places, like Paquitos (which has several locations in Manhattan). read more

Oh man! Just what I needed. Don't let the ambiance fool you. They make a top quality burrito! If I find myself near again I'll be back to try other things. read more

Lady helping us out was rude , had flies everywhere in the restaurant and the food was to chewy.

The name says it all GREAT BURRITO , GREAT AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD , along with GREAT RELIABLE SERVICE , this place is sooo underrated my opinion it puts taco bell & Chipotle to shame , very small place ot enough seating , but what matters most to me is their taste in authentic food , price and service. This spot is a GEM in my opinion !!! read more

Whoever thinks it's good idea to add pizza to their menu is such an idiot. All they need is their taco to make it. Best taco i was introduced to in Manhattan in value, quality and deliciousness. Order of two tacos can fill you up but i suggest three to be happy. This place is super tiny but manages to sit around 8 to 10 people. Menu is huge with Mexican food to pizza. I won't suggest pizza thou cuz they look like those $1 pizza a block away. The taco however is what you would die for there. We were here around 8:30pm on a weekday and managed to get a seat. Taco served on a real plate like a date night. Cheap date night. Their tacos are filled with about a quarter pound beef or some meat with avocado and please ask for their sauce. This place is probably the best spot around after a late night drinking. read more

Great Burrito is the real deal. If you want that authentic Mexican flavor as if you were in Mexico you come here. I have only been to the Yucatan Penninsula but this was the feeling I got. My personal favorite - which I get on a weekly basis - is the Huevos a la Mexicana. As I do not eat meat or dairy this really suits. Soulful breakfast for sure! Have also had their tacos but I have to design them myself as there are not all that many vegetarian options. Does not matter - can't go wrong with anything they conjure up. Robert read more

You are not here for the pizza, or the chicken tacos or the quesadilla. You are here for the carnitas taco and the al pastor taco. If they have posole order that. Pork chop special of the day order that too. Wash it down with some jarritos. Watch a telenovela or a movie and you are good to go. I used to work down the block and half of the staff, teachers and maintenance would order from them all the time. Glad they are still around. Great homey place and food made with amor! read more

Finally decided to try this spot today. Had no high expectations because it's very hard to find good authentic Mexican food in nyc. & coming from LA and Mexico I can be very picky. But even with low expectations I ended up being very disappointed. Ordered a classic enchiladas plate with rice & beans. & even though they scored with a good favored salsa verde, the quality of the meat was terrible! :( The chicken was dry and looks like it was reheated from the night before. To make it worse I came across a piece of beef steak. NOT okay since it's clear they are not being careful with cross contamination prevention. read more
