I wish this place had seating since we had to walk to whole eats to enjoy our food warm. Everything was super tasty and well made. The burritos were cooked perfectly with so much flavor and moistness. Our burritos were practically making juice. It was yummy and their Agua Frescas that aren't pictured were so GOOD flavor was so prominent and I loved the spicyness coming from the horchata with all the cinnamon! Even the Jamacia was so good! Chips from the guac and chip combo were kinda stale and passable. Super yummy food here ! read more

Son del North - CARNE ASADA POLLO ASADO TOTOPOS & GUAC - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

This is exactly the kind of spot you hope to find but almost don't want to tell anyone about. True hole-in-the-wall--nothing fancy, no hype, just straight-up legit food. And I'm coming from LA, where Mexican food is on another level... so I don't say this lightly: their bean and cheese burrito is elite. Perfectly balanced--creamy, well-seasoned beans, melted cheese all the way through, and a tortilla that actually tastes fresh and holds everything together. No shortcuts, no fillers, just simple done right. First bite and you already know this place gets it. Places like this are what Mexican food is supposed to be--unpretentious, consistent, and ridiculously good. read more

wowwwww i think this is my fav burrito ever, it's truly worth the visit the food: carne asada burrito is THE best option. it's so flavorful and the meat is so smokey, the tortilla is also chewy and perfectly crisp. a dip in the sauce every time makes it perfect!!!! the space: so small, two tiny benches and one table outside the service: not memorable read more

This place is legit! First of all, loved the quality of the tortilla which is hard to find in this area of the country. The chicken was super flavorful. I usually am a rice in my burrito person, but I didn't miss the rice at all in this one. It was jam packed with meat, salsa, peppers and cheese. I couldn't really taste the beans which was my only complaint. They're large, probably the same size as chiptole, a little pricier but with more meat and less filler. read more

Son Del North 177 Orchard St. New York, NY 10002 Pollo Asado Carne Asada Appearance: 8.9/10 Taste: 10/10 Located approximately 1.5 miles from the Brooklyn Bridge pedestrian walkway is a Mexican spot specializing in Sonoran style burritos. Unlike traditional burritos, these do not include rice. Pollo Asado: This burrito was filled with grilled chicken and strips of poblano peppers. Also included is a cup of salsa verde, which gave it a nice kick. Carne Asada: This burrito may look small in size, but it was packed with protein and flavor. The employee unintentionally gave me green sauce instead of red sauce, but it was still finger lickin' good. What really caught my eye on both burritos was the line of char marks from the grill. The dining section is limited, so I recommend taking the order to go. This location may be a hole in the wall, but its riceless burritos are superior. #sondelnorth #orchardstreet #OrchardSt #CarneAsada #polloasado #SonoranStyle #sonoranburritos #charmarks read more

Had high hopes after hearing so many rave reviews about son del north. Unfortunately we thought it was average at best. To start off, we ordered 3 burritos. The breakfast burrito, pollo asado, and frijoles con queso. We made the mistake of not checking our order before getting home and realized they forgot our frijoles con queso burrito. Huge bummer since that was the one I was most excited to try, but that's on us for not checking. The tortilla itself on the burrito is great. Super soft and really fresh. That's about the only thing we enjoyed. The pollo asado and breakfast burritos were fine. We've had better at other places in the area. The sauce is ok. I think overall it was just fine, nothing that really wowed us. read more

I came to Son Del North after seeing all the hype on social media, and I'm glad I did. They are known for their doughy tortillas, and I got their bean and cheese burrito with steak and pico. The place is small, but service was so fast! After ordering, it only took around 5 minutes until my food came. The burrito was great! I typically don't like bean and cheese, but this place is the exception. The bean and cheese had such a good ratio and adding the steak and pico was a game changer to add more texture. I loved how soft and doughy the tortilla was. I also asked our cashier her favorite burrito, and she said the chicken one was her best! Overall, we had a great time and would recommend! read more

When the scent of grilled meat hits you on Orchard St, resistance is futile. Walked into Son del North and came out with a carne asada burrito the size of a forearm. No tables, no chairs, no problem--real men eat burritos standing up like gladiators. Service? Fast. Price? Fair. Burrito? A high-quality heavyweight contender (though that sauce on the side lowkey stole the spotlight). If you're prowling the Lower East Side and need a quick burrito fix, this spot is a solid move. Verdict: burrito craving--handled like a champ. read more

The tortilla lives up to the hype. It's probably the best tortilla I've ever had. But the rest of the burrito is kind of lacking in flavor tbh. The breakfast one was really mushy. Wish it had lettuce or smtg. Chicken and steak were good maybe steak was better but just wanted more flavor!!! Also there is literally 0 seating only a small bench inside. read more

Steak is rubbery and tasteless. Guac has no flavor and chips are soggy and oily I had to throw them away.

I had been craving burritos for a while now and decided to stop by Son Del North to see of their burritos lived up to the hype. They indeed hit the spot!! I actually love that their burritos are packed with beans and meats without rice. The meat is super well seasoned and had the right amount of fat. The ratio of protein to cheese to beans was well balanced. The tortilla was soft, chewy, and held everything together. The green sauce had a thicker texture with a subtle spice kick. There are some tables and one bench outside. Food came out at a reasonable time. Got my cravings fixed for sure!!! read more

Delicious burrito spot that makes grilled burritos without rice! I'm from SF and I've eaten many great burritos and this one was one of them. From the tortilla to all the fillings and the sauce, everything was tasty. This spot is mostly takeout with a few standing tables to eat outside. I got the cauliflower chorizo and potatoes burrito and added guacamole for an extra charge. It was vegan and delicious! The cauliflower had so much flavor. I'm not a vegan myself but opted to try it since it was a lighter option than the meat and I really enjoyed it. My friends got the chicken and carne asada burritos and said they enjoyed them read more

I order from here weekly and almost always get the bean and cheese burrito. I've been a fan... until today. I bit into my burrito and found a small rock in the beans. An actual rock. Not a hard bean, not a piece of seasoning. A rock. I called Son del North to let them know because I figured they'd want to hear about it. Their response? Sometimes rocks come with the beans and they'll try to clean them better in the future. No offer to remake the meal. No refund. No real apology. I understand that kitchens deal with raw ingredients and things can slip through. But finding a rock in your food is pretty wild, and the response was even more disappointing than the rock itself. read more

I don't know why this place why this place has 4 stars because it's 5 all the way! The menu is simple but it works. The burritos are sooo flavorful and not dry at all. They really taste homemade :) I love rice and these do not come with rice and I was really surprised that rice wasn't missed. They are made perfect as is. Definitely the best burrito I've had in a long time. The agua frescas are pretty sweet but they are delicious. Service is quick and friendly. There's no seating except for bench so this is more of a small takeout place. So glad I found this place and can't wait to visit NYC and go back for more. The burritos are on the pricier side, especially if you add guacamole but it's NYC so I kind of expect it. read more

I popped in here as I was in the area and wanted something quick to eat. It's a tiny storefront with very limited seating (only two benches inside). The staff were friendly and I got my food quickly. They are known for their Mexican style burritos (sans rice) and have a small menu to choose from. I got the beans and cheese one and it was nicely grilled and charred on the outside. The burrito itself was fine, but nothing mind blowing. I might come here again to try something else sometime. read more

I'm sad because I reallyyyy wanted to give this place 5 stars and was really hoping it was going to be my go to burrito spot in NYC. For some background: Im from Baja California- like on the border of Mexico type of place so I have already come to terms with the fact that I won't be getting Mexican food 1) as good as from there or 2) the same style being that the Mexican food I grew up eating is regionally so much different than the Mexican food here in the city. HOWEVER, I saw this place open up and was overjoyed to see that they specialized in Sonoran-style Mexican food which is exactly the type of Mexican I grew up eating!! Now on to the actual burriot: I of course got the carne asada. It was delvious, juicy and so falvorful. The tortilla is amazing and I love love love that tehre are no rice or other fillers like a majorirt of places here. With that being said, I agree with a few other reviews that some of the pieces of meat were really fatty/chewy? I don't mind that here and there but it got to a point that it was like evry other bite and it began to gross me out a little bit. Overall, the burrito was still solid and it really filled me up. The other reason I didn't give 5 starts is because the service was really slow and they only had 3rd parties set up for pick up and so the prices were marked up by about $2 (which I totally understand) so I just went in person since I was around the corner. I noticed that some people who had ordered after me got theirs first and when I went in to inquire they all of a sudden had my burrito ready about a minute later. Not sure if they forgot or what but I also know they're new so didn't get too upset but it was still annoying. They also have breakfast burritos! read more

I got the steak burrito (double steak) with just salsa and cheese and Guac. $25. (The steak burrito is $19 on its own) Also got a large dipping sauce, picked veggies and a side of Guac. So $39. Not insane but a little insane. And without a doubt this is the best burrito I've ever had in my life. stuffed with steak. And I think like the best burgers have great buns, the fact that the tortilla here was so soft, love that they grill. It's just realll pillowy. This place only does burritos and only a few types but I suspect that will not matter if you love burritos it's a must do this is an easy A. read more

Easily the best burrito I've had in NYC so far (and I've been looking). The owner is a winner from Chopped the cooking show, and apparently the tortillas are flown in from Mexico? Well, it shows, as the tortilla was nice and hefty, definitely has like a lard-type texture to it and was so chewy and pillowy, I've NOT had burritos like this outside of the west coast or mexico. The filling was delicious too, and the carne asada was so tenderly cooked, everything was packed with flavor I couldn't help but inhale it entirely. I know this place is going after the drunken munchies crowd given its location and tiny spot, but I would honestly go here if I was craving a burrito next time, not even on a night out. Please stay and have all the success, Son Del North because we are in dire need of good burritos in NYC. read more

I came to Son Del North on Sunday around 5pm and there wasn't a line. The inside is incredibly small with just a couple of benches. There are two standing tables outside but on a cold day, there isn't really an indoor spot to eat your food. In terms of the food, I got a pollo asado burrito which came with a yellow sauce. I don't know what the sauce was but it was pretty good. The burrito itself was ever so slightly salty but packed a punch. It was filling but without rice, I didn't exactly feel stuffed after eating the whole burrito. Overall, I do think it's one of the best burritos I've had in the city and will definitely be back - likely when it's warmer as there isn't any indoor seating. read more

I've been gradually winding my way through a Bolaño epic, and what with all that talk of the mysticism of the Sonoran desert and the fictional city of Santa Teresa, I started feeling a calling to try one of NYC's few (perhaps lone) purveyors of the types of burritos associated with the region. The good? I loved the crispy tortilla, which in many ways reminded me of a tzongyo bing. I ordered the beans and cheese variety, with simple flavors that emphasized the tortilla. The less good? After half a burrito the fillings started to taste a bit bland, and the cream-based chutney provided on the side did little to provide variety. I think a vinegar-based salsa with a bit more kick would probably provide the needed contrast. read more

Line moved quick and food also came out quite fast. There isn't really anywhere to eat so I would say this is a glorified to go spot (they had maybe 2 stand up tables outside but they were occupied and the inside is very small) I tried the carne asada and I was obsessed with the green sauce they give you. I ate it all and I'm not even usually a hot sauce person. I get the hype around this place and the drive to open the west village location. Not sure I will go out of my way to the LES or west village for a $16 carry out burrito but it was good. read more

May be the first and only burrito you'll have that has no rice. Although questioning this move, after the first bite I knew there were no mistakes. Mouth watering bites were multiplied vs a regular burrito because more flavorful ingredients replaced where rice would be usually. read more

If you're a fan of burritos, this place is a must try. Biting into one gave me a bit of nostalgia. It reminded me of the burritos my grandma used to make in Mexico. The flour tortilla is incredibly thin and soft, yet sturdy enough to hold all the ingredients. The steak is hearty, well-seasoned, and delicious. Its a great all-around burrito. It's easy to see why there's always a line here. The menu is small, focusing on what they do best, burritos. Keep in mind, there's no seating, so like a classic New York spot, it's all about grabbing your food and eating on the go. I will be back! read more

I have now also had the shrimp burrito and the bean and cheese burrito and can say the Vegan chorizo cauliflower is my favorite. The shrimp burrito has great shrimp flavor, but it is almost too shrimpy for me, I guess I need the intermediary of rice to really enjoy a shrimp burrito. The bean and cheese burrito tastes great, but it feels like you are doing something very wrong. The Vegan chorizo slaps every time, especially with the spicy SDN dipping sauce included with the order. Most recently I also tried the chips and guac; the chips are homemade and you can really tell, the flavor is great and very corn heavy. The guac was only okay for me, I prefer a more chunky unadulterated guac, but I know some people like the smooth style, so I'll chalk it up to a matter of personal taste. read more

I saw Sonoran and being an expat from PHX, I had to try this place. One asada, one chicken. Both were solid. Asada was good quality (no fat or gristle). Salsa (red) was the highlight for me, and their green sauce packs a nice punch. Why a 3? They slap the burritos on a grill. Why they even attempt this is beyond me. Just let the burrito be! The effect? They achieve grill marks. The bad part is a very good tortilla now has char marks that detract from the filling. I don't like burned tortillas or their aftertaste. Caveat, we did Uber Eats, but thankfully they wrap their burritos in paper, so no soggy tortillas. If I came back, I'd tell them to keep my tortilla away from the grill. Cheers! RS read more

I was honestly not impressed with this burrito. I got the shrimp filling and the shrimp was definitely overcooked and had a weird texture. I don't need rice in my burrito, but without something else, it felt just like a huge pile of mush. Some avocado or something else would really help break up the texture. Flavor wise, it was ok. Very tomato forward. I also was not a fan of the tortilla. It felt kind of raw? I'm not sure but I wasn't a fan of the flavor. read more

Finally tried it IRL & the carne asada was 10x better than when I first tried it delivered (around when the shop first opened). It's still not my favorite burrito & I'm not as obsessed as everyone else seems to be, but definitely higher quality than I recall! read more

I won't lie I was initially very put off by the high price point but the steak burrito is no joke! Super generous portions of steak and the green sauce is addictive. Also tried the shrimp burrito but didn't think it was as good. I'd come back! read more

I like Son Del North. It's a little pricey but not that pricey. It's like a little treat. I used to get shat on at chipotle for swapping out rice for extra beans and now it's the cool thing . The size isn't great but it's got girth and well... ;). Anywho, Son Del North has all the markings of a "good" "authentic" burrito. I don't my yellow ass or half of manhattan's... paler population has any claim on what's authentic but there's a nice smokey char on the meat and tortilla. It has more flavor than what you'd find throughout most of NYC and it's very well rolled. At no point did I feel like I was playing juicy jenga with my hands. read more

I've been here three times, all at different hours of the day. I don't recommend a Saturday morning as soon as they open up at 11am. They pre-cook a few of the burritos in advance and it just wasn't hot enough for me to enjoy it. I was disappointed because of that aspect. I came on a Friday night at 6:30-7PM. The line itself wasn't very long but waiting for the burrito did take 30 minutes. It was still good. Very smoky and good char on the skin. I do recommend eating at least a third of it BEFORE the green chili sauce. That way you can taste all the flavors, the chunky steak, smooth avocadoes, etc. After you use the green chili sauce, the heat covers up the flavors moving forward. The best time was a Tuesday afternoon, around 4:30 PM. It was fresh and hot and all the flavors came together. There was still a 15 minute wait but no line, just a lot of uber/grubhub orders that came before me. Sharing one is just enough to be full enough to keep eating other things in the area. This is only a place to grab and go. There is no seating whatsoever. read more

Can't go wrong with these burritos! Son del north is a hole in the wall restaurant that serves burritos without rice. As a result, these burritos offer a distinct flavor from other places. Their tortilla is also thin and almost flaky -- love this because it makes the burrito feel less carb-y. We got the pollo asado and carne asada burritos. The pollo comes with peppers (rajas) that are a tiny bit spicy. There's lots of juice flowing from these peppers, so the bottom of the burrito was soggy. The carne asada was delicious and stuffed with meat. Overall, definitely worth a try if you're in the area. read more

Son Del North has fully restored my hope in the Mexican Food in NYC, and I finally understand why I don't like the vast majority of it out here. Most of the Mexican food in NY is from Puebla, which is a state in Southern Mexico. Being from Southern California, I am used to Northern Mexican food. Now this is not to say that Northern Mexican food is better than Southern... Well, I guess that is exactly what I'm saying. Let's just call it what it is. The Founder of Son Del North is a two-time "Chopped" champion from Tijuana, which is quite literally the most Northern city in Mexico. I wonder if that's why they named it Son Del North, which directly translates to "They are from the North." They occupy a tiny space in the Lower East Side and have a simple, concise menu consisting of 5 different choices of burritos. The Carne Asada is the obvious choice. Made up of tender juicy carne asada, mayocoba beans, fresh avocado, cheese, all held together by a beautiful, crispy tortilla flown in from Sonora. The first bite brought me straight back to my time in San Diego, where the best Mexican food in the country is on every street corner. I took it for granted. My roommate (USC Basketball Hall of Famer), is a burrito connoisseur and is far more picky with his Mexican food than I am. He gave Son Del North a "soft 9 out of 10," with his only higher rating in New York coming from Ceremonia Bakery over in Williamsburg. High praise. I also gotta shout out the vibe in here as employees are smiling, having fun, and this type of energy is infectious. Sometimes I just want to quit my tech sales job and work in a place like this. Idk. I will be here at least twice a month for the rest of my tenure in New York City. WE THE NORTH! IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews read more
