Both "Little hole in the wall" Hispanic restaurants in this hood are very good. Melanie's Restaurant is right up the block. Great food. These people are not afraid to add the flavor to their dishes at all. I had a "Cochinita" Burrito and it was great. You can tell the meat was marinated for at least a day and it the seasoning became to much, the rice and beans are right there to even it all out. I would have the dish again with a glass of water or if they have "Jamaica" drink (I didn't look for it on the menu) Iit would be perfect but you need a good pallet cleanser to deal with the flavor. Or, a good old fashion Corona never be a bad thing. I'd go again and try a second dish here. I'd never do that with a place i didn't like :) read more

The restaurant is nestled on a cute strip next to the Q train which is convenient. I ordered chicken sopes and a margarita. The chicken didn't have any flavor and the margarita tasted like a Budweiser Lime-a-Rita. I had to put so much salt on my entree. The salsa and cheese dip tasted like they were from a jar and the chips were not hot. I had leftovers and ate it the next day and the food was much better but I would not dine here again. Honestly, Chipotle's food surpasses the taste of Don Burrito. read more

Just moved out of Flatbush after living there for almost 4 years, and I'll definitely be missing this place. Cute and comfortable hole in the wall Mexican joint. One of the best in the neighborhood without a doubt. Great prices, food, and atmosphere. Don't expect 5-star dining, the veggies aren't always the freshest, but I never had a bad meal here. 100% recommend if you're in the area looking for some Mexican comfort food. read more

The food is mediocre nothing special, it's lacking flavor, but if your really starving and theres nothing to eat then it will have to do. read more

Don Burrito - Steak and shrimp meal - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My family has been coming here for years. Over time the portion has gotten a lot smaller but still very tasteful and filling. They have a large food selection and the wait staff is great. Although the place is kind of small the restaurant definitely shouldn't go unnoticed read more

Don Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

See all

This one is the best Mexican place around the area. They have the best veggie burritos!

Not nearly as good as the nearby Cinco De Mayo. The food is always well made and generous. But the flavor is always lacking, anything from their salsa to their burritos seem to just have muted flavor. It's perfect for a person who loves Mexican flavor but can't handle the spice. The store is cute and always clean. The waiters are efficient. It is slightly expensive for Mexican food the cheapest entrees range from 8-10 dollars. Although it's hardly an average run-down Ditmas restaurant, there are other places I'd much rather eat at. read more

I upped my rating one star because we have identified the problem here. Alas, it is the owner. She runs hot and cold. When she's nice, everything is great, when she's in a bad mood (or whatever her problem is), you better hope she's not serving you. The only time we are ever charged for hot sauce is when she writes up the check. We have popped in, only to walk right out when we see she is waiting tables alone. Also, the TV is no longer much of a problem. Now that's done, I must say the food is still superb, and all the other waitstaff are very nice. The Mojarra Frita (fried tilapia) is not on the menu, and they don't always have it, but when they do, it is beyond delicious. The price varies, but who cares! This is still one of our favorite restaurants in the area, and if the owner stops having mood swings, I'll add another star. read more

Yay, this place is great!!! I've lived down the street for 2 years and never tried it until now. I've always gone to Cinco de Mayo which seems more neighborhoody being on Cortelyou and all, but I have to say, Don Burrito's food is better. No question. I got chicken enchiladas rancheras, BF got something with pork, and we split steak nachos. The nachos were served individually topped - I love them this way. All the meat was tender - not dry (like CdM). My enchiladas were covered in lots of slightly browned cheese - not authentic Mexican but 100% up my alley. Drinks were cheap, service was great. Even the music was good. I feel a little guilty about it, but this is my neighborhood Mexican place from now on. read more

A nice sit down place to have a family dinner. The food is good, portions are small but just enough. The lemonade is so good and I love the free nachos and salsa. read more

moved to this area in November 2011. Food is great. We order at least once a week. I always get it to go, but I will dine in one day. Options are great and flavors are on point. Worth a try. read more

After trying most of the Mexican places (and trucks) in the neighborhood, this is the one. And I was stupid for passing by for so long. Review based on Carne Asada, Tacos Al Pastor, and Tacos Cochinita, beans and rice. Relatively cheap, friendly service, and just great food. I did take out once and it was fine. Miles better than the trucks, the place on Cortelyou, and (God forbid) Chipotle. read more

A diamond in the rough. Very reasonably priced for generous portions. $3 Corona bottles. Yummy chips and salsa. My fav Mexican restaurant in Brooklyn. read more

This place has the worst customer service. I called beforehand asking if they would allow me to order to go if I get there in 15 and they said sure. I drove there in 10 min and they ended up closing and not letting me in. I can only imagine how good their waiters are if they're going to be so rude about this. p.s - This was on Thanksgiving which is the saddest part cause I had to disappoint my family of 8 read more

Food isn't bad; Service is. Especially when I was charged for Salsa and not told that only the first bowl [half filled] is complimentary. When I ordered the Mexican Chocolate and then got the bill, I asked if it came in other sizes, like Small and yes, it was. The time to tell me is when I order. Most other places will ask which size do I want. I hadn't been here in close to a year since last time I ordered delivery and specified the food be made a certain way. When it didn't arrive as I requested, I called and they didn't care to make it right. I went today after a fasting blood test. Never again. I will not reward such bad service and management. Too bad...I'm from San Antonio and love Mexican food. read more

The guys who work at Don Burrito are really kind and the food is above-average. I think the prices on some items are bit high while other items are pretty reasonable. Get the Chicken Soup - it's awesome. I find the dining experience to be a bit lackluster, nothing horrible but if you live in the area I think carry-out is the way to go. I probably like it more than the four stars represent because I'm tempted everyday to stop in read more

Agreeed if your craving tacos do not go here it only come with the meat and taco bread , if you want cheese lettuce and sour cream it cost extra like the tacos already suppose to come with that ? What type of restaurant does that never heard of that & they service is HORRIABLE that talk shit all day do not go here read more

If you like your food without ANY SEASONING or FLAVOR than this is the place for you. I was so disappointed when I received my food because several individuals have gloated about the food ( sorry, but the food was an EPIC FAIL!!!). Don't waste your money!! read more

I usually commute from queens all the way to Brooklyn just to have the steak campesino. If youre a big fan of cheesy Mexican foods then this is the right place! My boyfriend usually gets the fajita mix and its also great! As long as the food is good and reasonably priced (which I think is more that reasonable here) I am more than happy. As a server at a Mexican restaurant with a similar layout I do see how service can improve but the servers have always been nice and do their jobs how they are supposed to. Basic service is all I need anyways! I don't want to strike a conversation I just go there for the food! In short I I don't care what people say about being charged extra for salsa or chips. It's a family restaurant! People don't understand that it's not a corporation and that small restaurants can't afford to simply give free items. One of my favorite things about this place is the music! It ranges from mariachi singer Vicente Fernandez to Banda music which I absolutely enjoy! Definitely adds to the experience. read more

I came here for a quick bite and was not impressed at all. I ordered the chicken nachos and the chicken was dry while the nachos were burned and hard. My boyfriend ordered tacos and quesadillas and also was not impressed. Definitely not coming back. read more

The best chicken mole poblanos out there, and the price can't be beat. Generous portions, and even when the beans were a little burnt, we ate them anyway. Small place, not much to rave over, but who cares, it's clean and right off the train. read more

The best burrito ever. It just tastes very authentic. I pass on Cinco De Mayo (and I live on Cortelyou) to come down to Newkirk. Really great food at a great price. read more

Good food, low prices, fast delivery, substantially better than the alternatives in the neighborhood. The flavors are consistently good and impressively unique. read more

Place gave me the runs...the chicken burrito had no flavor at all...the chips and salsa was descent. Service was good that's about it... read more

Don Burrito is a nice cozy place. It does not pretend to be anything. I've had delivery once and it was a huge disappointment. Now, I just come in, order some tacos and eat them there. They typically bring me chips and salsa, despite my tiny order. Very cheap too, leave room for a nice tip! read more

I'm not a fan Mexican food but my sister was on a mission to change my mind. It's a hole in the wall but I didn't expect much. I had the guacamole and chips and the shrimp fajita and it was delicious. I paired my fajita with a glass of Chardonnay. The guacamole had to be the freshest guacamole I've ever tasted. I left with a food coma, they give you so much food! Would definitely recommend this place. read more

So here's the thing: it tasted GOOD but I have my doubts as to the cleanliness. Why? I ordered chips and salsa to go, and found a dead ant in the salsa. I had been enjoying the salsa a lot: very fresh, mild taste. I decided to scoop from the bottom as I had only been skimming off the top. A dead ant came up with the chip. I immediately threw the salsa away, eating my other items with heightened suspicion: spinach quesadilla, side of refried beans and green salsa, both of which were free with the quesadilla. Quesadilla was big and delicious, and I loved the refried beans. I liked that the food wasn't too salty. Chips were nothing special. Green salsa was good, but would've been better if it had been at all spicy. It was also a bit TOO citrusy. I will consider trying Don Burrito again, but I found I could not enjoy my food as much after the dead ant in the salsa. I will say, however, that their beans are really, really good and I will probably swing by after getting off the train for a side of beans pretty frequently. read more

This place is okay. The food was subpar and when my boyfriend and I got there, the woman at the register was rude. Was on the phone talking to what sounded like a friend and never stopped to ask us about our order. Not a good way to treat customers. The end. read more

Cute neighborhood whole in the wall no frills mexican restaurant. I ordered the burrito norteno and it was decent. Meat was flavored well and it came with rice and beans. Will probably order the chicken soup next time as I saw multiple people ordering it. read more

we are regulars at Don burrito. we love the food here & it's local and convenient! food comes out quickly. cons: the drinks aren't great I'd stick only to food. read more

I mean for the location not in the best place to find, but for their food I have to give it to them when it comes to their enchiladas. Over all I order from them once in a while I can't recall most of their dishes, pretty much just the enchiladas I would recommend. Try them! read more

Ordered Vegetarian fajitas and the peppers came out sizzling and smoky and were super delicious. Hubby had the burrito Norteno and he said it was very good. My kids gobbled up a quesadilla and cheese nachos from the kids menu. Refreshing lemonade was perfect for a hot day as today. Very good food. read more

SoCal girl gives guacamole, enchiladas & salsa two thumbs up. The staff is awesome. get there.

Had some kind of burrito, either pork or beef........all I kno is it was damn good. It came with rice and beans which were also pretty good. Glad we finally have good Mexican food in my neighbourhood. Prices aren't too bad either. read more

This place is magical. I had no idea it even existed but I am so happy I found out about it. The food is fantastic and they even deliver. However, I won't be ordering chicken cheese nachos to be delivered again. Apparently cheese gets hard quickly LOL! Kidding aside try this place if you haven't. read more

So good! Great place to hang out with friends and enjoy a few beers ($4 each!) with some delicious Mexican food. Just make sure you have enough time since service is pretty slow - but everyone is so friendly you'll only notice if you're starving. read more

Don Burrito - Carnitas tacos are on point! - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place is amazing in every way, I just wish they opened at 11am and not 12/12:30 because sometimes I take my lunch break early. The food is all excellent, well-priced, and the service is always on point. I would go every day if I could! read more

Mexican restaurant right down the street from me, obviously a staple of my diet. When I moved to the neighborhood 8 years ago I couldn't get enough...ate here or got delivery at least once a week. My dish is the Ranchero Burrito, a spicy chicken burrito packed with fixings smothered in cheese, salsa and ranch sauce. However, as of the past few years I have seen a steady decline in the quality. I don't know what happened and it makes me sad. The food has been soggier and more and more bland, and, maybe I just got fatter, but I'm pretty sure they started giving slightly smaller portions. Chalk it up to the recession. Still very worthwhile. Better to eat in...chips and the salsa are the dankness, and the waiter with the ponytail and glasses is my boy. read more

Yeah, this is as good as it gets. Great food and service. I went there for the first time a few weeks ago and am going their again tonight. I got the Fajitas Traditionales the last time and I think I'm going to get it again. Great thing is that it is a 15 minute walk from my house. Burn some calories before and after a great meal! If I'm truly lazy I can take the "Q" subway to Newkirk Avenue and I'm there. read more

Great food. Only thing I am not too fond of is the rice! But thats okay I get the salad instead WOW best thing to go with a great meal and they are all great meals. Hubby and I go there about every other week so they are doing something right! read more
