Definitely worth the hype! I understand why this place is so popular, I got the bean and cheese burrito. The burrito was sooo good and super filling. It came with a green sauce and omg the sauce made it even better. Easily one of the best bean and cheese burritos I' have had in NYC. I also tried the carne asada burrito which was really good too, but I don't think it was worth the price compared to the bean and cheese. Overall, the food was great, came out fast, and again the bean and cheese burrito was easily the best thing I tried. Definitely coming back for that! read more

The scene on a rainy Sunday evening in September: Son del North was doing a steady business of take out and pick up burritos. The lady at the helm (and the register) was personable and organized, switching effortlessly from Spanish to English, and keeping a regular flow of orders heading out the door as delivery people and customers keep coming in. The kitchen looked like everyone knows what they were doing, and there were a couple dozen burritos on the flat grill getting their tortillas toasted after being expertly wrapped by the cooks. I was excited to try this new spot and their vegan cauliflower chorizo. After waiting a good 10-15 minutes (to be expected on a busy night), I got the burrito and dipping sauce. First bite: delicious! The crispy tortilla and the flavorful filling (quite spicy!) was really good. But as I ate the burrito, I realized that there was no sign of any vegan chorizo. The inside of the burrito, the filling, was all the same texture- smushy - except for the little slices of grilled pepper. I didn't detect any vegan meat or any cauliflower, or anything else - it was all just a mash. I understood going into it that there would be no rice, but I thought there would be fresh lettuce and tomatoes, and/or pieces of cooked veggies, as well as chorizo chunks, to diversify the eating experience. So be aware- though the burrito had a yummy flavor, it wasn't texturally interesting enough to be very exciting to eat. read more

Yes, I'm writing this review solely about a bean and cheese burrito. Yum! When traveling in New York, I feel like it's a must to do a little foodie homework ahead of time of places you want to check off your list. Welp, Son del North has been on my radar for quite some time. They're pretty instagrammable for having a bean & cheese burrito (no rice) and delicious sauces to go with. So being in the area, we had to check em' out. I wish the Bay Area had something like this. Maybe it's the ''Mom" in me, but we're big fans of the iconic bean and cheese burrito. From Son del North it's called the Frijol Con Queso, and wow! It was delicious! It comes with a creamy, roasted green chili sauce that is delicious and packed with flavor. This is pretty much a to-go spot, so we grabbed the goods and headed to Father Demo Square. With plenty of bench seating, we sat down and enjoyed the burrito listening to live music. A pretty awesome afternoon. Son del North also has a breakfast burrito that looks pretty fire, and carne asada, shrimp, chicken, and a cauliflower burrito option that quite honestly all look equally amazing. Quick/turn-key service, wallet-friendly. Can't wait to go back next time we're on the East Coast! read more

I played with fire taking friends from San Diego to try a burrito spot.... - and the results tended to lean positive. the tortilla was immediately recognized for its stretchy, thick, warm qualities and the portion of meat was a win for everyone. - the carne asada burrito is absolutely stuffed with delicate hot chunks of meat, seasoned perfectly to bring their own rich flavor to the burrito - the bean layer was very thin which was surprising for a place known for its classic bean and cheese burrito. with the thin layer of beans, the meat had to do all the work, as there is nothing else in there! it's a shame they got rid of the complimentary guac because they don't even have a salsa (just a jalapeno creamy dipping sauce) - it's a tiny little shop with no seats but the service was quick and as it warms up, plenty of places to sit down outside read more

As much as I loved the Lower East Side location, this one left me with a poor taste in my mouth. This time I went all out. I tried four of the five burritos available, save for the cauliflower chorizo. Each one provides a different result from the other, with an overall three star experience coming out of it. The shrimp burrito is still outstanding. The shrimp is succulent and the rest of the burrito has amazing flavor. Good thing I started with this one, or is it a good thing? The bean and cheese burrito is a real downer. It has zero flavor and a complete mess. I took five bites of this thing before giving up and trashing it. The pollo asada burrito has nice spice and good flavor. However, it gets overwhelming at times. The chicken should be the star and instead it feels the spicy sauce it is cooked in takes over and ruins the whole thing. The carne asada burrito is woefully inconsistent. The meat tasted gummy and the cheese binds too much to the meat. This one felt like more of a chore to eat than a pleasure. -- I like to experiment. That means spending more to try and give an idea of what is good here. Sometimes it works well, other times, like here, it backfires. It pains me to say I will not be returning to this location. read more

i had been meaning to come here for the past year after this spot went viral online for their rice-free burritos. to be honest, it didn't really meet my expectations. while the food came out quickly and there were plenty of options available, it just didn't fit my flavor profile. i've tried a lot of burritos around the city, and i felt like this one was lacking spice, flavor, and just an extra element overall. maybe it's just my personal taste, but i felt like the burrito could've used more hot sauce or something beyond the green sauce it came with. the green sauce was good, but i still felt like the burrito needed more salt, more chilies, or just something to really elevate it. there was seating both inside and outside, but i chose to stand outside and eat my burrito on a weekday around lunchtime. there was only about a five-minute wait, which honestly wasn't bad at all. overall, i think the place was just a bit overhyped online for me personally. read more

Burrito was super yummy and big so worth the price. Eggs were super fluffy and the flavors were good. Kind of wish there was more peppers and cheese and less eggs. Also the beans were mushy and wish had more texture. The green sauce was great would definitely recommend buying an extra one. The tortilla had perfect grill marks. Service was pretty quick considering that it was busy but not crazy busy. read more

I came here on a weekend morning. It's a small space - there's technically space for 1-2 people to sit at a counter, but it would be cramped. There are four seats outside, but expect to take your food to go. My burrito was ready in under 5 minutes. I got the bean and cheese burrito. Under $10, super tasty, good size - absolutely worth it! read more

Heard amazing things about this place in the east village and was very excited to try the west village location. It lived up to my expectations. Exceptional burrito. I got the carne asada which was perfectly savory, charred steak, caramelized onions and hints of tomato salsa. It comes with a "dipping salsa" that is so good it was critical to the experience. I did not get guac because guac is too good and I wanted see how it was on it's own. That's how good it was. Now the main thing here is it's $18 for carne asada ($16 for pollo asado). I ask myself if I would pay the extra $5 over a chipotle burrito? Yes, yes I definitely would. Would I pay the extra $8 over the one other good Mexican place. Uncertain. Planning to dine-in would be crazy. It's so small. But Father Demo square is two feet away and Wash Sq Park is 3 blocks for overflow seating. read more

Son del North - CARNE ASADA - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

I love that we're trying to do more authentic and tasty mexican food in NYC. This spot has brought the Burrito Norteno to NYC which is prevalent in Arizona or Northern Mexico and really great. The burritos at Son del North are a good version of these, but not great. I think the best and most authentic actually is the bean and cheese burrito. It really hits the mark for a bean and cheese Burrito Norteno. The refried beans are a little more healthy (less pork/lard/fat) than what I've had when in Mexico or the Southwest, but still really good. The Carne asada is also great, and the flavor of the carne asada is great, but it's lacking the juiciness and fat that flows through the burritos I remember. The dipping sauce you get with it certainly helps bring up the juiciness quotient, but there's still an opportunity to make it juicier. Now mind you, this is better than most mexican food in the city still, and the service shows that there is love and care put into each burrito including grilling the burrito after making which is truly wonderful. If it's cold outside it's going to be hard to find space to eat these burritos, but that's okay, you can find a corner or bench and do so, so just walk with them. They're much more manageable than a Super Burrito or something like that. I'll be back, because NYC does need more food like this, but it does not win my Southern California seal of approval for great mexican food. read more

Worth the hype. I don't usually love beans and I loved the bean and cheese burrito. The green sauce is soooo good too. I am a rice lover but the tortillas were so fresh and delish i didn't mind there not being rice. read more

My coworker put me on to this spot. I'm gonna give it 2 stars only because when he place the order for my chicken burrito at 1pm today( he said it was the best one), I said no beans and he saw him select NO BEANS. I'm not sure if they were in a rush to get the order out but my burrito had beans in it. So I didn't enjoy it. read more

I got the shrimp burrito this time and that was great. Loved every bite of it! My friend got the steak burrito and loved it too. read more

I came on a hot Saturday for lunch with husband. A great location across from the park and in close proximity to all the neighborhood has to offer. We split both the chicken and steak burrito and a a fresh hibiscus drink. The chicken was definitely my favorite, I love grilled meats. Hubs loved his steak burrito but I found it to be too heavy for me, very flavorful though. The drink was a bit too sweet for my liking but I can see other people would enjoy. The sauces on the side were fantastic and I really enjoyed eating them with the burritos, they added a lot. Will definitely be back! The line may look daunting but it moves quick and the service is very friendly and patient. read more

Son del North is known for their Sonoran-style burritos, and they recently opened up in West Village. Their menu is pretty straightforward, offering burritos, sides, and drinks - we ordered: +the Carne Asada burrito - grilled steak, grilled onions, came with beans, cheese, and salsa roja; note that guacamole is not included automatically anymore, so it would be an extra charge to add it +a Frijol con Queso - beans and cheese +a Camaron Ranchero - with shrimp, chile ancho marinade, and pico de gallo, in addition to the beans, cheese, and grilled onions +and, the Cauliflower Chorizo con Papas - a vegan option with vegan chorizo, rajas, and salsa verde, in addition to the beans, cheese, and grilled onions Try their housemade agua frescas, too, to wash it all down! Staff were friendly! +Sonoran-style burritos +friendly service read more

Same as with the one on the LES . Arguably one of the best 3 burritos in NYC. Either chicken, beef or shrimp options are fantastic. Fresh , large , great sauce on the side . The next door little garden makes that an excellent lunch. Highly recommended!!!! read more

I'm sorry but this is TOTALLY worth the hype. The bean and cheese burrito really is IT. I absolutely love that they deliver to long distances as well (added delivery fee but saves commute time if you live far or are busy). The burrito's tortilla is really what makes the difference. I don't think I've ever had a tortilla that perfect. Everyone must get a bean and cheese burrito here. It is absolutely insane! read more

Got a couple to split with coworkers and we liked it in this order (best to last) - pollo, cauliflower chorizo, carne, shrimp. loved the green sauce that came with it and we ordered pickled veggies on the side. read more

Had to give this place a visit once I heard they opened a West Village location. I ordered the steak burrito and it was excellent, arguably one of the best burritos I've had in NYC. Great portion of steak included for the price point, and the burrito was large enough to split between two people. Get extra green sauce on the side for dipping. Already planning my next visit! read more

Finally was able to try Son Del North for lunch. It was honestly pretty packed and they had a lot of online orders, so I would recommend ordering ahead or not going at peak hours. We ordered inside and there were a few stools to sit at and some tables outside to wait at. I opted for the viral bean and cheese burrito, I was pleasantly surprised at the flavor and the green sauce on the side really makes it great. I will say, if you want more texture variety this is not for you, the inside is essentially the consistency of mashed potatoes. It was very filling, I was not able to finish this in one sitting so beware. I will say, watching them fill up the chicken/steak burritos in the assembly line they are definitely very generous with their protein portions which is great. In terms of prices for the area I thought it was somewhat reasonable as well. Overall, this is not something I see myself getting often since it was so heavy to me, but I am glad I tried it! read more

Got the bean and cheese but need to order something else next time: their tortilla makes their burrito for sure. Service was ok but took a while and they don't really have any seating read more

I ordered a beef burrito from here. Instead of a beef burrito, they gave me a breakfast burrito. Seemed like an odd mistake given that the receipt and burrito wrap both said beef burrito. It would have been fine, except the breakfast burrito they gave me instead was not even that appetizing. It was overstuffed with eggs and a bit bland. read more

Outstanding. $16 gets you a large burrito that is 95% meat. It's appropriate that this place replaced Cocu, which was also a competent high-protein spot. read more

Burrito store front with the peeps cooking where you can see so you know it's FRESH. We had the steak burrito and the shrimp burrito and chips and salsa. Really good and filling. Like come hungry, ok. There's outdoor high tops and small mini stools inside. We came in the dead of summer heat and just sat at the indoor stools and inhaled our burritos. Prices great and just fresh food. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quick bite while on the run in the city or take home. So good! read more

Ran across this as a highly rated spot and love carne asada. Unfortunately, this was the worst Mexican food and carne asada I've had in the city. I'm not sure if someone new cooked it, but the carne asada was devoid of any flavor (seasoning or marinades) and very tough vs tender in texture. I ate half in hopes that it would get better but it did not. read more

Never gravitate towards burritos, but the Carne Asada burrito made me reconsider. Chock-full of tasty steak, guacamole and onions, and better off with no rice (felt lighter if that's possible?). Minimal seating in the shop. Recommend! read more

It's a small store serving to order. The staff was kind and quick. The vegan option was delicious and the salsa was perfect. No seating inside but a couple standing tables outside. Cool area to wander. read more

Excellent burritos-no rice just tasty chicken, beans. Also tried the chips and guac. Great flavor and great crunch.

this was very overpriced and the steak was incredibly chewy and not very flavorful. they charge extra for the green sauce which seems kind of ridiculous given that the burrito comes out to about $18 read more

I hate burritos becouse I hate flour tortillas. But these tortillas are the best thing here..its offensive how thin they are.i might as well eat a spring roll wrap.its a tease.also I like rice in my burritos. If your not full of shit like me.i one thousand percent recommend this place lol flavor bomb! read more

Burrito was really good, was expecting it to be a little weird since there was no rice. I was pleasently surprised, I wish there was somewhere to sit and it wasn't so hot inside. Other than that I give it 4.5 stars, the steak was great and the guacamole was good too! read more

Just like the East Village OG location. Great fillings (no rice of course), great tortillas. Thanks for coming to the West Village.

They are lowering their standards. The last 3 times we ordered the carne asada burrito it tasted like all the steak was burnt. Probably wont get it again. We tried to give it a couple more tries because we loved how it tasted before but it just keeps getting worse and its a $17 burnt burrito, definitely not worth it anymore. read more

Great food, reasonable prices, staff so friendly. This is easily among the best burritos in nyc

bean and cheese burrito was so incredible wow i order it for delivery once a week now
