Inside Chelsea Market ,this little cart is stationed in the hallway. It's the morning service of Los Tacos No. 1 which opens later in the day. The guy serving is very friendly and you get your food with a smile. You can grab a seat in the market and enjoy. The breakfast burritos are super big like rice filled ones but are filling. Hot and savory. A few choices ,very delicious. read more

I used to work in Chelsea and would grab breakfast from this cart in Chelsea Market at least once a week. I now make sure to visit at least a few times a year to get my breakfast burrito fix! Burritos are $6. You can choose from vegetarian, chorizo, beef, or my personal favorite the California which is bacon, egg, cheese, and potato. read more

Breakfast Burritos El Donkey - California Burrito - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

OMG - this is horrible. I just had my first beef taco and it has SOOOO little taste and the tortilla tastes like cardboard. HORRIBLE If I could give less than one star or minus stars I would. This is corporate paint by the numbers "food" made for the unsophisticated palate. YUK read more

Look, go find this guy at the cart... Order about 4 of these burritos and start your day off, right. Can't go wrong with any of them. It was my first time here, but I'll definitely be back. I just like good food, but my boy is a burrito snob because he's from Cali and even he didn't have anything bad to say about it read more

Saw this cart when I was grabbing coffee next door and grabbed a couple - delicious little burritos, awesome salsa, the chorizo was my favorite. They were premade so very quick which was great read more

The California breakfast is an soft and chewy tightly wrapper flour tortilla packed densely with eggs, cheese, meats, and potatoes. It's not that big, and one is the perfect size for a reasonable quick-breakfast portion. The $5 price is fair. This thing is easy to eat. The tortilla is nice and chewy. All the internal components just taste like breakfast. I don't think you can go wrong getting one for yourself and a bunch to go for your group. read more

Breakfast Burritos El Donkey - The California Burrito - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

Tiny burrito but $6 and honestly, it was packed and filled with good chorizo (sausage) and eggs. I'd get it again if I was hungry and needed a quick and solid breakfast. read more

Breakfast Burritos El Donkey - Chorizo - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

I got two burritos. The California and the Machaca. I took one bite from each. 20 mins later, I experienced the worst food poisoning ever. I was so upset because this was my first time here. I didn't eat anything else that morning. The burritos were the first thing I ate so I know it was El Donkey that poisoned me. NEVER coming back again. Beware. Their hygiene and food safety cannot be trusted. read more

The breakfast burritos are AMAZING! Not too big, not too small but just enough! The salsa is also very tasty!

I've been getting this after I hit the gym because it's so simple and covers the macros - you get at least 3oz of eggs and a good portion of meat. The salsa has the right amount of kick. My comparison was David's taco breakfast taco and for equal price point. By far the breakfast burrito at El Donkey is the best bang for your buck. Current price in 2022 is $6 - absolutely fine with me. One is perfect to hold me over for an after workout breakfast. They sell Natalie's orange juices too if you need a beverage for the morning. Pro tip - they sell out sometimes before 930am on weekdays. Another plus is being able to pull up to the cart outside and use either Apple Pay / credit card or cash - quick convenient and easy. read more

Yummy! I had the veggie burrito. Filling and delicious! You won't be disappointed. Best breakfast burrito I ever had!

Make it easy on yourself - always rely on El Donkey to satisfy you breakfast burrito desires. I did one of each because why not?! Beef, Chorizo, and California (Bacon + Potato). They l were fantastic. Super slim so it's nice to be able to get multiple. read more

Breakfast Burritos El Donkey - a hand holding a burrito - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

I had heard the hype (I believe GrubStreet wrote it up) about El Donkey but it wasn't at the top of my list. Well, I finally got to try a breakfast burrito, and it was awesome! I believe they are only here on weekdays; I stumbled across the cart while grabbing coffee from Ninth Street Espresso one day. I had the chorizo one and it was excellent. Cash only. read more

Breakfast Burritos El Donkey - Looks small but packs a punch - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

I certainly didn't travel to NYC from Texas to try a breakfast burrito, but man am I glad I did. The machaca con huevo is one of the best breakfast burritos/tacos i've ever had. Maybe it's because I don't eat a lot of red meat... or maybe it's just damn good. Try this. It's great. read more

This place is great. You really only need one (these are perfectly sized, not to confused with a huge Mission Style burrito). The chorizo is my personal favorite! Highly recommended read more

$4 for a fresh and delicious Burrito! I had Chorizo and it was the perfect ratio of meat to egg to tortilla. The tortilla was fresh, warm and gooey-ish in that steamed tortilla awesome way, not a wet way. A really good deal for the quality and easy of this place. No waiting in line or waiting around for something to be made. Plus you can eat it whilst you walk! It's a great addition to Chelsea Market! read more

Good yet small burritos. Shame they only offer them for a few hours. They should offer at all hours and allow delivery. NYC is a breakfast burrito wasteland so even this minor effort is appreciated. read more

Perfect Lilly breakfast burritos to start your day. Quick, delicious and awesome salsa to go with it

I'm surprised this place isn't called El GOAT because it is the Greatest.Of.All.Time. Not usually a fan of breakfast burritos, but these things are fire flames. Don't let the size deceive you. $4 will fill you up, or get 2 and be ready to take a nap. Salsa is also fire flames. read more

Awesome little breakfast burrito stand in the lobby of Chelsea market. I had the chorizo, which was full of porky goodness, eggs, and cheese. The best part was that it wasnt weighed down by potatoes, which are my breakfast burrito per peeve. Only thing is that you get a slim burrito for $4, but for New York standards for good quality, ain't too shabby. read more

So goood! Absolutely love the chorizo burrito! And it's not small at all! It looks small but fills me up very quickly. 1 is enough for the morning. Yummmmy read more

Best $4 you can spend in New York City. Perfect size, perfect flavor. All that a breakfast burrito should be.

I love getting breakfast burritos from this place before work. The California is my favorite and I always get an extra of the salsa because it really completes the flavors of the burrito! A great hidden gem. read more

Amazing!!! So delicious, I could eat one everyday!! They have a few different burritos available from 8am-11am for $4. The California has eggs, bacon and potatoes (if you like a classic one). My favorite is the chorizo which is so flavorful and tasty. I also tried their beef and vegetable one which is also good. You can't go wrong with any of them. Try them all!! read more

This silly little cart was staring at me for almost an hour before I checked it out here on yelp. Once I did, I got off my hungry rear and bought a machaca con huevo burrito. Do that. Do it. Get one. It was a great idea. Trust me, I'm a professional breakfast eater. read more

So glad I happened upon this breakfast burrito cart as I was picking up a coffee at 9th St Espresso. I've tried the beef, chorizo, and California burritos, and all of them are delicious - especially when dipped in the salsa. Ingredients taste high-quality, which is a great deal at $4 each. The man who works there is so friendly and fast, too! I'm making it a regular stop at least once a week. read more

Absolutely amazing breakfast burritos! The chorizo is so bomb and the salsa is a perfect match. Great size for a quick meal on the go plus the service at the cart is top notch. I live in California and sometimes struggle to find a simplistic, delicious, and cheap burrito like the ones at Goat. read more

Very simple, Uber fresh, Super yummy. Way to start your morning. Get there early as sometimes he sells out.

Great breakfast burritos for just $4. It's right in the middle of the market -- on the 9th Ave side of the waterfall. All of the burritos are pre-made and wrapped so there are no substitutions or extras read more

Good fast and easy breakfast tacos I meat packing. They have a few options pre made. Good if you are in a hurry.

Love the chorizo burritos. Best breakfast burrito in NY. Just wish they were available on the weekend

BEST BURRITOS I'VE EVER TASTED breakfast or non. The chorizo is my favorite. They look small, but for $4 they're very filling. I can't wait to go back to CM with my husband so he can taste them for himself. I wonder if they have or plan to have a store location anytime soon. Regardless, definitely my favorite food at the market. read more

YES! to the breakfast burrito. It's impossible to find a breakfast burrito with real mexican chorizo in this city, and this thing delivers! It's not the best I've ever had, but it's by far the best in New York that I've had so far. read more

Had the california bfast burrito. Was good, but I'm comparing it to cali b-burritos and those are 5 star. salsa was spicy and good addition to the burrito. They are pre-made and sitting in a warmer, so the tortilla had absorbed a lot of the oil which is not the way I'm used to eating it. cheap too at $4. read more

Being from SoCal I had to give a review on these burritos....they are excellent!! I got the chorizo con huevos burrito. This is what a homemade chorizo burrito is supposed to taste like. It's wrapped tight, the flavor is perfect (most people make chorizo to fatty), and the salsa is on point. Only thing I think I was missing was some potato, that's just my opinion. Solid breakfast burrito and only $4. This would hang in SoCal, keep going strong my man. read more

Literally can't get enough. The chorizo is my fave, the guys are the SWEETEST, you really can't beat it. They ran out this morning and I nearly cried. read more

Someone get me some help- I can't stop eating these things! They're soooo good. Chorizo is my "go to" option.
