Paul FraitesJanuary 2, 2018This small taqueria packs a big punch! Seating is a challenge if you're going in rush hour. The food was great! I had the carnitas burrito! Their portions are really generous. They are veggie friendly

Arjumand BonhommeJanuary 21, 2015The setup was a lot like chipotle. The carne asada was amazing, phenomenally better than chipotle on its best day. They put a strip of MontereyJack cheese in the burrito before warming there tortilla.
HelenMay 10, 2015The tacos taste more authentic compared to most of the other taquerias in NYC (I'm from Texas so Mexican food from there is my baseline). A bit pricey for portion/quality. Hot sauce is on point.
dawn.in.newyorkJuly 22, 2016This place is waiting for those who are visiting the museum nearby, newly opened The Met Breuer, and craving tacos and burritos. Personally feels, this DTT tastes better than other locations.
TK 🍦🍷August 4, 2015A small menu but everything on it is crafted on site from scratch and incredibly tasty. I had the carnitas tacos and they blew my mind. And the sauces! Just say yes. This place is a gem.
Paige CSeptember 25, 2016Really friendly staff! It was my first time so they gave me free guacamole and told me about all of the options and combos. Food was so fresh and delicious!- HolidayDecember 29, 2015Amazing chicken quesadilla, friendly staff. Best place around for a high quality, cheap and quick meal. Will look out for other locations.
- Anastasia BezverkhaAugust 27, 2014I really enjoyed the soft shell tacos. The meet and beef are cooked to perfection. The green salsa is very spicy but so good!
Lauren YoungAugust 8, 2016Tacos and the Platos are delicious and great to grab a quick lunch on your break. The cashier is extremely spirited!
NekeiJuly 5, 2015The staff was friendly the half chicken half carnitas burrito was pretty good too. Cheap beer and "pre-meltedcheese" tortilla is a plus.
Beware the habanero hot sauce. Mighty tasty, but if not properly mixed in with contents of your entree and evenly distributed, will burn your mouth.- Tobias NegeleDecember 31, 2015Had both a taco and a burrito. It was really good. Nice staff, too. Will definitely come back.
Tara ReedNovember 11, 2012Chipotle-like setup. Food was SF style (not to be confused with Southern California style or authentic Mexican food). Delicious nonetheless!!
Bala AmirthaganesanJune 1, 2015Great taste, decent options will totally visit again. Carne not necessarily served warm in the tacos. Quesedillas are served hot though
Amazing burritos! Be sure you know what you're getting into if you order with hot sauce.
- I'm not a soft taco person but the chicken and beef tacos here are excellent and made of very fresh ingredients. Skip the salsa though; it is very bland.
Scott JackFebruary 22, 2015It's good, but I wouldn't call it Mexican; it's very similar to Chipotle. The redeeming quality is that their extra hot sauce IS hot, and their carnitas are good.
Jennifer RalstonSeptember 2, 2012Great chicken burrito. Coming from TX we were looking for just this kind of place. Look forward to trying the rest of the menu.
Get the Basic Quesadilla (rice and beans) and add steak. It's like a heavenly mini grilled burrito.
The 'basic' burrito comes with peppers and onions. nothing is stopping you from asking for them on the de-lux burritos, though. Value through vegetables!- Tiam SchaperDecember 21, 2014Fuck chipotle, this is where you get a killer burrito. Everybody at my school eats here for lunch every day.

The food is amazing, but I think something got lost in translation when I placed my order...I ordered a quesadilla and somehow ended up with a burrito...It was a mess trying to eat it.
ቢያቢ ቢያቢJune 14, 2013I love burrito but this one sticks to your teeth as if it's not well cooked, if there's a way to change tht
Josh ThompsonJune 29, 2013So good! Basic burrito and the chips with guacamole! Can't beat the price!
Brigitte PerezNovember 22, 2015Extremely better and fresher than chipotle. You don't walk out feeling stuffed after devouring their plate.- Bala AmirthaganesanJune 1, 2015Spicy salsa is habanero, beware with how much you ask to be served, you've been was warned
KevinJuly 5, 2018Tiny place, but good burritos that taste fresh rather than fried and drenched in butter.
Kevin CabralApril 12, 2013This place actually beats most trendy MX restaurants on taste. The taco bowl is most satisfying.
Christina KijowskiMarch 1, 2012Obsessed with their carne asada quesadilla...forgo the guac and add sour cream and the green mild sauce!
Tanya L.September 4, 2013Carne Asada Quesadilla with the mild sauce, your tummy will sincerely thank you.
Dante D'OrazioAugust 30, 2014Far better than Chipotle -- do yourself a favor and head to one of Dos Toros' few NYC locations instead. If you like stuff super hot, try a tiny bit of the habanero sauce.
Keith KerrJanuary 5, 2018Pretty much chipotle prices. But much better flavors! Good for a cheap lunch.- Tara ReedNovember 11, 2012Hot sauce is interesting combo between RedHot and habanero. Unique, but not necessarily good.
Ky HuynhFebruary 24, 2012Carne asana soft tacos have me coming back. But, really, you can't go wrong.
Liz O'SullivanMay 19, 2012The hot salsa is REALLY HOT. My advice? Get it on the side. Great stuff though!
Madeleine KaneDecember 21, 2012YUM. Totally blows Chipotle out of the water and makes me feel like I'm back in SF!
