Everything I ate and drank here was good, and the bacon breakfast burritos are some of the best I've ever had in my entire life. The tortilla is so crispy and delicious. The eggs, bacon, and hash browns are perfectly cooked. The green chiles are amazing. All the desserts are so pretty. We tried the rainbow cake which is really yummy and the rose water concha which is a light and airy roll covered in a crunchy, sweet floral topping. All the flavors and textures complemented each other so well and the food was all beautiful. I had the Sakura matcha latte with cherry blossom and vanilla and the matcha was definitely present but not too strong. The cold brew coffee is nice and strong. We sat outside on Saturday morning and there was no wait to order but a little while to get your food -- 100% worth it, but be prepared to wait a few minutes. The staff was super friendly and brought out umbrellas for tables when it started raining. Super dog-friendly. You can tell this place is getting popular so get the burrito with minimal wait while you still can! read more

Overhyped but still good. I just don't find the wait to be particularly worth it. Staff are sweet though

Breakfast burritos, sopaipillas, creative tea lattes, and wonderful counter staff. DO NOT SKIP THIS SPOT or the pastries. read more

Ursula - Guava Passionfruit POP Tart - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Not really down with the vibe at this place. They seemed super bothered by my presence. And it's not like it was busy. Two incredibly rude douchebags behind the counter. One of whom *barely* grunted in my direction. Seems we have yet another trustafarian establishment in the hood. They love to let dickish little wannabe "cool guys" run the show in those places. We won't return. Oh. And the pastry was expensive & meh, at best. read more

I've attempted the Ursula breakfast burrito a few times and I think I can finally stand on it and say I don't necessarily understand the hype. Ursula is like a new age modern Mexican restaurant/cafe. When you arrive there's a crowd inside and outside waiting for this burrito item. I usually get the chorizo burrito and sometimes I opt to fry a pastry. I can say that the pastries are surprisingly very good and they have an excellent donut. However, the burrito is where Ursula falls flat for me. It just doesn't have enough flavor in my opinion and for the mere fact it's usually a 30 minute wait, it seems not worth it. The bacon burrito is a little bit better, but still the same consensus of falling flat on flavor. However, the staff is really nice and really take care of the crowds well and it's a cute quaint place. Overall, I would say try it because it's always nice to try a popular spot to get your own opinion, but I wouldn't say it's nearly close to being the best breakfast burrito in NYC. read more

It warms the cockles of my New Mexican heart to finally see a real New Mexican spot in NYC, and it's a welcome bonus (to my taste buds but not my wallet) that it's only a 10 minute walk from my apartment. Breakfast burritos taste like something you'd get at the balloon fiesta (which is to say, they're legit). And while the sopaipillas are a little bit dense for my personal preference, the taste is right, and I'm not about to complain about anything I can get filled with (transcendent, glorious, heavenly) carne adovada. All garnished with tomato and iceberg lettuce, which is the only correct way to do it. As a bonus they have the best coffee in the neighborhood. I can't afford to keep Ursula Brooklyn open singlehandedly, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to try. read more

Great bakery items and burritos. If you're in a rush just come for the coffee and the pastries which come out nice and fast. I'm especially a fan of the cinnamon roll. Ursula has an amazing staff of kindhearted people. The owner Eric is so sweet and Grant who works the register is very charming. read more

The best place on Earth for a breakfast burrito!! My mouth waters just thinking about one of those freshly made burritos! They even have a vegetarian one! Get there ASAP!!!!!! read more

The chorizo breakfast burrito is mouthwatering and worth the wait. Even if you take it to go, the tortilla doesn't get soggy since they char the wrap while still keeping all the deliciousness (i.e. hashbrown/cheese) inside warm. Eggs are fluffy and pork is perfectly seasoned and not overly salty. Go early on the weekdays/ends and expect to wait in line during and after you place your order (closed Monday and Tuesday). Limited outdoor seating is available (randomly located in a neighborhood with no other restaurants) and breakfast burritos only go until noon. read more

very sub par! almost gas station or airport quality breakfast burrito, hardly any cheese, no visible chili, bland and expensive... disappointing read more

Got take out for restaurant week. The burgers were surprisingly delicious, full of flavor and juicy. My shot in the dark payed off! Will be ordering again soon. Try this spot! read more

Do you like waiting forever for average burritos? As in you order, not a big line and then wait 30 minutes...for a burrito. Go here.

It's pretty hit or miss. Some of their items are amazing while others are just not good. But I keep going back on the basis of the tasty things hoping the next thing I get will be as awesome as the nachos :) The service leaves something to be desired, especially if you go later in the day. When you walk in, the employees may not acknowledge you for up to 10 minutes, but don't worry, eventually they will come take your order. They don't have all of their items listed on the menu board or wall, so read the reviews or website before you go. The vegan nachos are AMAZING. The best I've ever had. They have acorn squash and spicy corn on them along with some mysterious vegan cheese that actually doesn't taste bad. Probably the first time I've ever said that about a vegan cheese. So flavorful. And the portion is enormous--far more than two people could finish in one sitting. The breakfast burrito with egg, hash brown, and hot sauce is incredible. Huge portion, pretty greasy, great hangover breakfast. The sweet sopaipillas are super tasty. Highly recommend. Good to share with a friend. The chocolate cardamom pop tart is interesting, but the serving size and price ($8!) is too much for one person. I wish they made it like one fourth of the size. The vegan sopaipillas are not that good. I don't think that soft rice and mushy refried beans belong on a fried dough. It was really bland. It would be awesome if they put some vegan chorizo or tofu or even egg on them instead. Something with more zing. The chocolate chip cookie is also not very good. It's extremely oily and kind of tastes like something fried in old oil. Not sure how you mess up a chocolate chip cookie, but I wouldn't get it again. Probably the most disappointing thing I have tried is the poblano relleno. It was one tiny soggy pepper with half a scoop of quinoa on it. The flavor was good, but for $14 I was expecting a meal, not a bite. Go with the nachos instead--same flavors but at least 5x as much food. read more

When they're on their game, it's the best breakfast burrito in NYC. Would be five stars, but the past few times have had quality control issues - missing ingredients, undersalted, lukewarm by the time your name is called, etc. Not a huge deal but when the line is as long it is and it costs as much as it does, it is disappointing. Staff and owner are lovely and glad they're in the neighborhood! Rooting for more consistency. read more

Simply outstanding take on Mew Mexican cuisine. Everything we had was delicious. We tried both the chorizo and the vegetarian breakfast burritos and, despite being more simple, the vegetarian was the star of the show. The simplicity of perfect hash browns, cheese and scrambled egg provided the backdrop the hatch chiles deserved, and wow did they shine. 12 hours later I'm still dreaming of the flavor, texture and heat combination which was as close to perfection in a burrito as I've ever experienced. Added to that, we also tried the rose lemon donut and the scone, both of which were stunning. The zest and fragrance of the donut made for a really interesting and delicious combination and the cornmeal in the scone gave it the perfect texture balance of crunch and softness. The ordering process was really efficient and the team were great. The wait was exactly what you'd expect for freshly made food, which is what we'd come to eat. read more

I was a fan of the Awkward Scone and I'm an even bigger fan of Ursula BK! Love supporting a queer business with great politics and freakin' amazing food. The pine needle mocha and the incredible array of pastries are my favorites. read more

Amazing! I've had the pleasure of being nourished by Eric's creations ever since we met while vending at various art markets (his spiced warm teas and amazing pastries got me and many other vendors through long, busy days!) I was so excited to see Ursula opening up, and if it weren't for the pandemic I would have come here sooner! I have so much love and respect for the care and creativity Eric puts into his delicious food. Beyond being tasty, the business reflects a thoughtfulness and regard for people-very much needed in the world today. I wish Ursula lots of success, they deserve it! I can't wait to be back for more. read more

The funniest thing is I couldn't tell you what the hell I ate but all I know is that it was damn good because I cleaned the plate. Literally came across this spot by searching for a new spot for lunch. I've never had New Mexican food so I thought it wouldn't hurt to expand my horizons and try it out. I ordered the vegan stuffed sopaipillas. Never heard of it before in my life but how I'd describe it is the thick, doughy bread that restaurants use for garlic bread stuffed with burrito fixings such as beans, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, rice and tangy/spicy sauces. (P.S. I use the word spicy a bit dramatically because I can hardly manage pickled peppers--I'm soft). It wasn't bad at all. It was actually really better than what I'd expected. Remind you, I didn't have much expectations because I came here on a whim. Either way, I was super pleased! The highlight for me though was the maple pistachio doughnut. Holy moly! It was like Krispy Kreme came to Crown Heights. I kid you not! If they sold them by the dozen, I'd buy them just to not have to come back for a while. The lemon saffron poppy loaf was what I had my hopes high for because lemon poppy treats are in my top 5 but it was a little too dry for me. Anyways, great job so far, Ursula BK! I'll be back for that doughnut and to try breakfast. read more

Ursula - Breakfast burrito w/ bacon - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Best breakfast burritos I've ever had, and this is from a ex-Californian, especially if you like it spicy. Get both red and green chile. Don't sleep on the vegan option either, as the beans are ridiculously good. I would eat them on their own every day if I could. Coffee drinks are also fantastic. read more

Delicious bacon and chorizo breakfast burritos! My boyfriend is from around LA and very particular when it comes to breakfast burritos but he really enjoyed the subtle smoke and heat from the chiles and chorizo, as well as the potato hash in the breakfast burrito. We also shared the guava pop tart which was a great combination of sweet and tart. read more

I've been living in New York since 2010. I grew up in Albuquerque/Rio Rancho, New Mexico. While NYC doesn't want for Puerto Rican/Dominican/Peruvian food, I've found it sorely lacking in the distinct, but small, food landmark of New Mexico. I miss my home's signature flavors as much as I miss the mountain sunsets and desert landscapes. This morning I walked a good hour, partially uphill, to this new place inspired by New Mexican food. I was skeptical. So far, New York has proven time and again that its idea of green or red 'chile' is just verde or red sauce. So I go to Ursula's and politely wait in line behind a dirty-blonde with a tastefully blue mask. Covid fashion. Once it was my turn to head in, I peek at the menu and the display of little snacks and my heart rose in my throat. Biscochitos - not my favorite NM snack, but it was the first bit of authenticity that hit me. Then I saw the two salsa jars stacked on top of each other. Both from Hatch, NM, red AND green chile! I'm a bona fide red chile fan, subtler flavor versus the tangy of green, but I was so excited. In less than five seconds I knew what I wanted. A chorizo breakfast burrito and an horchata latte and a rather handsome-looking pistachio doughnut. Order paid, I waited outside. First came the food. Good toast on the flour tortilla that surrounded my burrito. First bite hit me with that real red chile and the scrambled eggs that took me back to ABQ and getting a Twister's #8 with red. The next bite made this flavor quest unique in their chorizo - inexplicably good, and the potato was outstanding. Best of all, not a grain of rice in the whole thing. A true New Mexican breakfast burrito! I was so happy! The horchata latte, though I was a moron and burnt my tongue, reminded me of the NM State Fair. Of course the horchata there was iced, but it tasted right, unlike the frequent New York horchata that overdoes it on the cinnamon and tastes instead like Big Red gum. The doughnut was a sweet finisher as I made my way to the park and gradually back home. All in all, I'm sad to say I miss New Mexico a little bit less, today. Because some of it was brought to New York. PS. I'd have photos, but it was too good and I scarfed it all down like a glutton. read more

Slay, Ursula, slay. Came here on a Saturday morning on my way out of town for a week with my partner + dad. Ordered a chorizo burrito, egg burrito and vegan burrito + one of their special matcha lattes and a bunch of New Mexican inspired baked goods to try. There must have been 20 or so people waiting outside, yet the staff was perfectly organized and super efficient. We had our to-go items within a half an hour and they called us up each time an item was ready (I.e we got all of our food + drink while it was hot - important!). The hatch Chile is a really special flavor - perfect level of spice. I will definitely be returning for another 'rito and some of the hatch chile powder. Also, Lani Halliday of Brutus Bakeshop sells cookies and does some of the baked goods, too. They are all slammin'. read more

Delicious breakfast. Definitely coming back. Great gluten free bread. Beautiful window display.

Some of the best food I've had in New York. It's extremely high quality and reminds me of my mother's meals. But also, the staff goes out of their way to ensure a delicious experience. Highly recommend read more

Truly amazing. Takes me back to Santa Fe! So happy to have this in the neighborhood as I've been missing my NM chiles. The breakfast burritos are delicious and the green chile-apple pastelito is a delight. I can't wait to try the rest of the menu read more

You're gonna have to stand in line for the breakfast burrito. It's gonna be worth it. read more

Ursula - Breakfast burrito with bacon and green chilies - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

One of the best brown butter donuts I've had in NYC. A little sunshine on this rainy day

Killer fried chicken sandwich. Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu. Great addition to the neighborhood.

This place is a gem. Had the beef sopapilla and it was incredible. Definitely filling and delicious. It's hearty and great for hangovers. I also picked up some pastries to snack on for the rest of the day. The people there are warm and friendly and I will come back to this place again and again. Makes me wish I lived in this neighborhood so I could eat there all the time. read more

I've never been to New Mexico but the real heads tell me this is the best burrito you'll get in Brooklyn that pays homage to the south eastern breakfast tradition. I used to frequent the old location / restaurant The Awkward Scone and was devastated when it closed. This is by far the best breakfast burrito in Brooklyn, just be prepared to wait in line and wait outside for your food (see line pic below). Hoping they figure out some online ordering soon that might help make the crowd a little smaller during the pandemic. read more

Soooooooooo slowwww. Mediocre food. Too expensive. Can't believe this place is hanging on.

Have had their beakfast burritos, stuffed sopapillas, tea lattes, baked goods - all incredibly delicious, high quality, and a refreshing mixup from the same ole stuff you find around. So happy for this new addition to the neighborhood! read more

I really loved Ursula when it first opened. I'm not sure, but my guess would be that they've had difficulty scaling proportionally with their popularity. I've eaten there around 7 times since opening, but the last two times I've gotten burritos, I waited on the street 25 and 40 minutes respectively for 2 breakfast burritos. The wait time would be more manageable if you could call an order in, but they don't currently allow for that. Or some system of letting customers know of exceedingly long waits before placing their orders. The quality seems to have gone down over time, as well. Not necessarily with the ingredients, but in the construction of the burritos. They have been filled totally unevenly the last few times, so that one end or section is entirely potatoes and the other is all eggs. Kind of disappointing after such a long wait. Today I tried the $9 passionfruit guava pop-tart which looks and sounds amazing, but for my taste was absolutely cloying and was unfortunately thrown out after two bites. I've found the cashiers to consistently be aloof at best. No greeting at all aside from a blank stare even when I've greeted them. The end of todays interaction was "you can take your card," and the cashier turned their back and walked away without another word. I'm not looking to be fawned over, but when the most basic interactions lack any degree of cordiality whatsoever, it's just awkward, unpleasant, and kind of confusing. I wasn't even really sure my transaction was actually over or not. Maybe all of the above is better at lunch, which I can't vouch for. Initially I would have recommended Ursula to anyone (and did), and had been interested in trying the non-breakfast options, but I don't see myself going back again and would no longer recommend it. read more

This place is incredible. Best breakfast burrito I've ever had. We will be back next weekend.

The food is both familiar and interesting at the same time. We got the Turkey BLT and the Stuffed Sopaipillas and both were delicious. 10/10 recommend. The guy that took our order was great too! A great addition to the neighborhood. read more

If you are looking for the perfect burrito, look no further! This place has a fantastic menu but I'm a sucker for a good burrito. After my first bite, I could have sworn I was transferred to a bad ass flavor town full of spice outlaws who welcomed me with open arms. It was so good I felt the flavor slap and then my mother texted me feeling like she had been slapped so she knew I was at Ursula's. None of this is a joke as I don't joke about five star ratings. Literally my new favorite place! read more

Completely elitist gentrifying BS that ruins the neighborhood. Serving rich gentrifyers $15 mediocre burgers with no sides. Some of the worst customer service in Brooklyn hands down. Maybe if you open up a restaurant you should have a TELEPHONE that works! The lines r too long to call ahead and only caviar is available which adds $5 per dish before tax and delivery which unless youre a rich yuppie like every other person in line is impossible . I was happy when they opened up, but even just seeing how unclean it was just now, disgusting small space to work. sadly will never come back again and make sure nobody in my friend group does too. Extremely disappointing, maybe the people who run it just arent that considerate or bright. read more

As a native of the southwest I am skeptical of restaurants claiming to cook food from that part of the world but Ursula is excellent. Their chorizo is spot-on, green chile is amazing, and their pastries are so fresh and inventive. The saffron lemon poppyseed pound cake is great, as is their scone. Can't wait to try more. read more

Ursula - Drinks at Ursula - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I had an issue with a delivery order that to me was a big deal. While I had trouble with the delivery service getting it resolved, I also contacted Ursula. Bryan (I believe that was his name) called me very quickly and came up with a solution that not only made it right but also showed great decency and understanding. Ursula is the best burrito spot in Brooklyn, but it also has great community ethics. Thank you, Ursula! read more
