Buddy's Burrito & Taco Bar — Restaurant in New York

I have nothing against the food because it is always great. The only thing that I don’t like about this place is their character and discriminatory views of public housing. The first time I called for a delivery to Wyckoff projects one of the workers told me “we do not go over there”. This really hurt my feelings being the fact that I was born and raised in the projects. The moment he told me this I decided to put him on the spot to see what else he would say, “why cant you come over here because it is the projects??? is that why????” After doing this I supposed he realized that he was being discriminatory of where I am from. I guess he felt bad and had one of his coworkers deliver here with my food. However, I called them again today for a delivery and an employee told me ONCE AGAIN that they cannot come over here. My comment is specifically for the boss because I have a feeling he is the person telling them this. I will tell him in person as well when I see him because this is really sad. Like dude are you from Texas with an old ignorant mindset? It’s not like we live in the 70’s, 80’s or 90’s when public housing communities in NYC were really dangerous for delivery boys. It’s 2019.. we are surrounded now by gentrification and new are houses being built every day around us. PLUS it is a completely new era. you don’t have to feel scared for your delivery men by “the ghetto”. Nothing bad ever happens in THIS specific public housing community. There are definitely other projects that needs more safety, however, Wyckoff and gowanus has changed over the years TREMENDOUSLY. The farthest distance you deliver to is to Columbia Street hmm figures because it’s such a nice fancy rich neighborhood right? But you know what sweetie.. “gun shots” and “theft” or whatever kind of crime you can possibly think of can ALSO happen there; Maybe even more so over there because persons in the aforementioned neighborhood got money that can be robbed by robbers waiting for them right in front of their house. Right away you want to judge meanwhile projects in this area are surrounded by so many privileged people. This is...

Had a few tacos and a quesadilla. Three comments:

The food is very mediocre.

The people who work there are dour, rude, and obnoxious. Crappy service with an attitude.

I saw roaches on the wall.

Look. There's "LA Style Burritos" a block away. The guys are nicer, the food is better, and I never saw roaches there. If you have a hankering for Mexican food, do yourself a favor and walk past Buddy's. Go to LA Burritos. Your stomach with thank you, and you'll be a whole lot happier.

First and last time I will be ordering from this place. For $25.00 I got an entree that had about a pound of beans and maybe 5 spoons worth of rice, two dried stale tasteless tortillas that were absolutely disgusting!! I got two chicken tacos that were again made with the most disgusting tortillas I ever had. The chicken tacos were just grilled with no flavor. Tortillas are not supposed to fall apart. The guacamole has no flavor. No cilantro, no tomatoes, and huge chunks of onions? Who makes guacamole without the essentials. You literally gave me an avocado with chunks of onion!! And then, to top it all off.... no utensils. Never again will I even think about ordering from here. You just lost yourself a whole company's business which has app....
