My husband and I have lived in the neighborhood for over four years now and Don Burrito has been our go to for a reasonably priced, tasty, sit-down restaurant in the area since we moved here. The restaurant is clean, comfortable, with pleasant servers and a relaxing ambiance. The food is solid. I particularly love their mole enchiladas and their tortilla soup, in fact, I think their mole poblano sauce is one of the best tasting I've had in a long time (complex, not too sweet, and deeply satisfying). While they do serve alcohol, they don't have a bar--just a few Mexican beers, red and white sangria, plus your basic margarita. I wouldn't complain if they upped their margarita game beyond margarita mix, the prices are reasonable and the drinking atmosphere is low key.
NYC is far from the standard of Mexican food and Don Burrito doesn't have much on the menu that you wouldn't see in your standard Mexican restaurant (though recently they've made a few additions to their menu which expands their offerings a bit)--i.e. I wouldn't travel from Queens just to try the Mexican here (though if you're a mole fan, I do think their's is worth at least a few subway stops). However, if you're in the general area, I would highly recommend this as a spot to have a nice meal. You'll be able to find things on the menu for more picky eaters while still being able to chose options that are authentic and flavorful. If you actually live in the neighborhood, this really is one of the nicest places you can go for a good meal without paying a lot of money. We keep going back and are never...
Read moreOn Sunday 9/23/18 I came into this restaurant and asked if one of my special needs client could use their bathroom. The server said yes, and we entered the restaurant. As my client was walking into the restroom, the server says our restrooms are for our customers only. This was after we asked, and we were told yes. The server then proceeds to roll their neck and say but didn't you just come from dunkin donuts? I'm not sure why this server felt the need to address me in such a manner, because I don't speak that type of body language. However I replied no my client just came from dunkin donuts. Then they continue with the bad behavior. Well why did she use the bathroom at dunkin donuts then, they ask? My response, if you didn't want us to use the bathroom, then you should just have said no. Please do not think that you allowed her to use the bathroom, just for you us to come in here for you to disrespect us over a bathroom. They replied OK. No apology, nothing. My client finishes using the bathroom, and I made sure it was clean. She said Thank you to the rude server, and we left. FYI there wasn't a bathroom at the dunkin donuts that we were in. I do not returm rudeness with rudeness, I...
Read moreC’mon in, el me solicitado través la puerta, c’mon in y prueba la comida mexicana más deliciosa de Ee.Uu, tenemos burritos hecho aquí en los Estados Unidos. Mejores que los burritos de Mexico. No hay burritos en Mexico, I replied without raising my voice, knowing full well this was a controversial issue. The burrito in México is a different animal all together. In I went, hopeful, but not ecstatic, this was not my first fiesta brava. I ordered some turkey-breasted mezcal and drank it down like tequila - Hidalgo! Before long and before you’d know it out was carried a burrito on a porcelain plate. Salsa, beer, and three mariachis followed in swift succession. Although the burrito was on the small side, the atmosphere was festive, the service attentive, and the overall experience muy padrisimo - absolutamente...
