I've been to this place a few times, always enjoy their burritos. My current fave is the Philly cheese steak, added shrimp. Ig was delicious. Also had the tres leches, really good, perfectly moist and not overly sweet. Small place, 2 stools in the front (not for large parties. Service was good and food came pretty quick. read more

I don't usually leave reviews, but this place seriously deserves the love, I was absolutely blown away by the vegan spare ribs burrito Perfectly wrapped, loaded with flavor, and the ingredients tasted super fresh. And fair portions I grabbed one of each sauces they had , highly recommend the "Diablo Hot sauce " If you are a fan of spicy stuff Highly recommended definitely will be coming back to try more items from their menu. Not to mention the staff were super friendly and helpful read more

El Barrio Burritos - Vegan spare rib burrito And steak - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

UPDATED after receiving response: understand the resto just transitioned to a new menu, system and is working out some kinks. Sincerely hope the feedback was helpful and look forward to giving it another try. I don't like to leave negative reviews, but given the price of food think it justified. I found the take out bowl I ordered to be very underwhelming. I didn't expect to have over-salsa'd food with minimal ingredients. Hoping for a refund. On the upside, staff are lovely. read more

$$$$Burrito was medium size $15 + dollars it wasn't too flavorful a lot of rice not enough meat or sauce no sour cream nothing on the side. I guess you have to ask for it. The service was pretty quick. places small have tables outside I might try something else and explain what I really want inside my burrito how I want my burrito next time. read more

Was really craving a burrito so I stopped into this place excited for one! I'm vegetarian so I got the verde fajita with no meat. I don't normally leave reviews but honesty I was just really disappointed:/ My burrito was supposed to have peppers and onions hence the "fajita". Didn't come across a single one while I was eating. Also the bean to rice ratio was crazy it was basically just a rice burrito. For the prices being fairly high, I was expecting more. The people were friendly and they were playing good music but I won't be going back there:/ read more

I'm basing this off of a Grubhub order. This has to be the worst food I've ever had in my life. This is also the most over priced food I've ever had in my life. I thought the price of the tacos was insane but figured for the price the food must be excellent. Boy was I wrong. The steak in the taco was wet ? and you have to pay extra for any protein that's in the tacos ? I've had authentic Mexican food where 2 tacos are less than 1/2 the price they were here and came with more on it. The chicken in the burrito tasted like the smell of shredded cat food and the steak also had a really weird off taste to it. The burrito and tacos were completely inedible and went straight to the garbage after one tiny bite. The only positive was the chips from the chips and guacamole stayed crunchy and the carrot cake was good. Literally that's it. Also no limes or hot sauce included for the tacos ? I find it hard to believe this is actually a Mexican restaurant. read more

I ordered an impossible burrito with rice and salsa, it was much better than my first experience.

Maybe just maybe the best burritos in the five boroughs. Definitely in Brooklyn. The Mission Bay burrito is infamous in this neighborhood... for its flavor, its variety of ingredients, ingredients quality, its freshness and its generous size (one can modestly feed two people). The staff are freaking amazingly friendly and cool. So too is the owner. Art on the wall. Music playing out on the sidewalk. The place is a landmark and a treasure. read more

The best burritos around! Friendly staff and quick delivery. It's a little pricier than others, but the ingredients are super fresh and the seasonings and flavor are divine. read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!!! Imagine a minority community that was affordable hit with gentrification and store owners like these take a vantage and abuse this opportunity by highly over pricing their items, while on top of that the items are not cooked all the way. I hate this!!! I spend $21.11 on two small tacos! This makes no sense! I was extremely Hunger and was working so I just ordered it, to then notice even the "impossible meat substitute" wasn't even cooked all the way, LIKE REALLY! It did not taste good as well, I had to throw it away! I started feeling nauseous and had to go home and couldn't finish my day of work! Only people who have no sense of what real cultural food taste like would say this is ok and too blind to realize these prices make no sense. Like how do you mess up TACOS !! Do not go here! (The girl at the register was nice though) read more

One star because the guys who was at the register is disgusting. His attitude, and the way he speaks to a select few people that didn't look like him was absolutely terrible. Speaking down to people in a condescending tone, and talking to me the customer as if I am a two year old is unacceptable. Always ways come here for the vegan rib burrito, and spend $30 at the least every time. But after today's service I absolutely will not be back. Nor will anyone that I know. If he doesn't like the people that are from the neighborhood he should go else where. So to the reddish hair gentleman with the backwards cap and glasses. Your customer service is awful, and because of you I'll never come back. Update !!!! I just noticed the owner went and changed his reply to my review lucky for me I kept the screen shots of his original response where he seemed to be comparing being black to having red hair. Wow! Sir if you believe that discrimination against a race is the same as me saying your hair is red you are sadly mistaken. read more

FALSE ADVERTISING!!!! They advertise a lunch special with a free soda or water for 6.99 And it's $2 to add a meat This doesn't include anything on the menu, apparently So when I asked for the lunch special and what my options were. The cashier prompted me to the menu "All burritos are included and only 2 bowls" So I chose a bowl, and this is what I was charged! read more

I'm a huge fan of their tofu burrito, Jalisco style! Their Mexican rice is so good and especially paired with all of the sauces I had a great time. The chips and guac are a little salty for my taste but overall really great burritos. read more

*too long didn't read: Walked in as a first time customer with low expectations, walked out $17 poorer, and still hungry..* Let me please begin this by saying that I have high standards for mexican food, as I moved to Brooklyn from San Diego. So when approaching a new spot i walk in with VERY low expectations. I usually go to the mexican food truck not fifty yards down the street from this place. The food truck usually comes in the evenings, so this afternoon i walked into this shop. I had never been there before, this was my first time. When initially telling the man at the front that it was my first time here, he gladly helped me through some of the options in the menu. Service was exceptional, he walked me through the menu with great ease and confidence. I do now think that I was being sold. I asked for a 12" verde fajita DOUBLE carnitas, add Pico De Gilla, add jalapeño burrito what I received was a flavorless mush in a wet tortilla. (Most) everything I had asked for was on it, and everything it came with as well (apart from the jalapeño's -and even that isn't a big deal if im being honest-) i expected maybe... just the meat to have a better flavor/texture than unseasoned unbuttered mashed potatoes? it was particularly unnerving to have the distribution of ingredients be so haphazard. one second I was biting into overcooked Spanish rice, the next, just one mouthful of mush that tasted like porridge in meat form, right after a glob of guac additionally, I WANT TO STATE FOR THE RECORD I tipped 20% and do not regret it, those workers deserve every penny. I myself am a bartender. which is why I felt so compelled to write this. the food is BLAND BABY. if she was a spice, she would be flour! B L A N D MUSH and absolutely NOT worth the $17.50 I ended up paying (and then taking home, deconstructing, spicing it up, and heating it all together into some form of edible arrangement. just go 50 yards away to the boys with the taco truck. at least when you ask them for hot sauce they give you that AND THEN SOME. ONE last note: I asked for hot sauce on the side when i ordered my food. It wasn't in the bag when I received it (no biggie) they happily gave it to me upon request. However it's due to this that I witnessed, with my own two optic stems, the man on the grill physically pour the sauce for me. when I went home, took that first initial disappointing bite of the "original flavor tapioca pudding" they call meat, i was hoping to save it with some damn hot sauce. that amazing spicy flavorful burst of either green or red sauce to add that extra kick (or any kick tbh) only to taste an even more disappointing bland and flavorless sauce i've ever had before. My wife thought it was marinara sauce. If you're into quick food, and overpriced flavorless protein by all means hit this place up, ther can get you a soggy sad burrito in less time than the disappointing wrap you'd get from the bodega on the corner nearby. If you wanna spend less and get more flavor hit up the taco truck (in the evenings) just down the block. tonight however, i'm eating ramen.. read more

The burritos here are okay, nothing to write home about. I feel like even when I get a fresh one it's kind of cold (this is from coming three times). The bowls are decent too but again nothing here really blows my mind. I continue to come by because it's quick and easy and close to the train station, especially when I want a healthier bowl situation. The best thing here is the cute Frida mural outside. read more

Glad we tried this place. Goooooooood size burritos for sure. I hate when they are too big because I really dont like wasting food. There burritos are the perfect size. I got the diablo. Good name because it is spicy! If you eat it slow it's great but if you pick up the pace slightly you get that good hot sauce burn. The chips were perfect and the salsa was amazing. At first I was pissed because it looked so wet but nope it was excellent. Going to try the mango one next time! The order was late (not the restaurants fault - the driver got into a car accident) and when we called the staff was super nice. I am BIG on customer service and they have it down pat. It's exactly what I would have said/wanted to hear. I'm definitely ordering again! Thanks guys! read more

Food was so good. I ate it so fast I don't know if it had guacamole on it. Definitely will order again.

El Barrio Burrito is my favorite restaurant in Crown Heights when it comes to quick, fresh and delicious Mexican food. It's the only restaurant that I know of in the area where you can actually get crispy nachos that stay crispy on delivery and their Guacamole is massive for the price and very delicious. If there is any slightest issues or delay on the order Owner Steven is very proactive reaching out and letting you know and he goes above and beyond to make sure you are a happy customer. read more

I just ate the Pollo Poblano burrito in about five seconds flat! (Okay not really, it was more like five minutes.) I had read reviews and settled on the pollo poblano and was not disappointed. I first picked it up and it didn't feel as large as I wanted but I was stuffed by the end of it. Also something to note that I read in previous reviews was that the dairy is pretty cold in the burrito. The owner explained that it's because the food is kept at a certain temperature for safety reasons (yay) and you can always ask for the burrito to be heated so that this problem is ameliorated. I didn't do it this time around and the burrito was still absolutely delicious. It will be my new go to place for burritos in BK! Also order through ChowNow if you're ordering online. read more

Popped in here for lunch on a Friday and I LOVED it! No line, food came fast, and the staff was sweet as could be. The vegan short ribs were to die for, and the portions are a good size for the price, especially in the lunch combo. read more

Prices are absurd. $12 for a cheese quesadilla. $14+ for two tacos. The small bean and cheese burrito is $7 and is smaller (and worse) than what you'd get at Taco Bell. If a Mexican place can't do a good bean and cheese, stay away. You can go somewhere like Electric Burrito and get one three times the size (and significantly better) for $9. What are they thinking? read more

Barrio has always been one of our stand-bys, and they never disappoint! Everything we've had is stellar: burritos, nachos, tacos, chips and salsa, you name it. We recently tried the new pulled chicken, and it was INCREDIBLE. Full of flavor, really good ratio to the rest of the filling, all around amazing. They also have great veg options. Unlike some other burrito places, I never feel bloated after eating a Barrio meal. Their food feels clean, fresh, and delicious. Delivery has always been fast and reliable.Thank you, Barrio staff, for providing excellent food for your community, and always being kind and communicative. We love you! read more

Shockingly good burrito. Maybe my favorite in nyc so far. I'm from Los Angeles and it is a struggle to find a burrito that really hits all the notes I expect out here. ( had a surf and turf burrito with added peppers and onions). Chips are great quality too- fresh fried but thin and crispy. Queso is also great but not as incredible as the burrito. read more

This is a great place to grab some quick food. I don't live in the neighborhood but have ordered both pick up and delivery from here while visiting friends a handful of time. Portions are fair and the prices are very reasonable! The tacos and burritos are both very filled with flavors and the ingredients are fresh. I've tried a bunch of their burritos and tacos (beef, steak, fish, etc) and everything was delicious. I don't eat sour cream or cheese and I've never had an issue getting my stuff without it. I don't go to this neighborhood too often anymore but I would definitely come back if I was in the area. read more

Best coffee close to Franklin station. BREAKFAST served fast and delicious.

Do not believe the five star reviews for breakfast burritos. I got a 12" egg cheese & bean version. Way understuffed, with a lot of excess tortilla wrapped around itself. At most the equivalent of 1 egg inside (the menu on Caviar claims 3 eggs). The rest of the filling was soggy, sour tasting veg and potato and a sprinkling of cheese. The whole thing was lukewarm at best -- they didn't bother to warm up the tortilla, and the small amount of cheese inside was unmelted. A McDonald's breakfast burrito would have been more satisfying. read more

Inexpensive, high quality, Mexican fare in Crown Heights is a rare find but El Barrio delivers. The grilled tilapia burrito was huge and filled with all the good stuff. the fish tacos were tasty.

Good albeit quite cozy spot for a quick, convenient and affordable bite right off the Franklin Ave stop in Crown Heights. Their sandwich board advertises lunch deals/specials as well, but for me Barrio is usually dinner to-go. The food is nothing especially spectacular but when you need your burrito or nacho fix, this will definitely do the job. Meals are consistently prepared quickly, also a plus. The grub alone likely hovers around 3 - 3.5 stars buttttt I'm rounding up and giving Barrio a 4 because of the staff. Big shout out to the cashiers and cooks at Barrio, they are always friendly, smiling and spreading love. read more
