Good burrito spot! Service was friendly and kind, and appreciate the hustle of the small business. Our food came quickly, and there was a large menu of options. There's some outdoor dining outback as well for when the weather is nice! The burritos were massive and inexpensive. I got their chicken with green sauce, which was good if a bit dry. I wish there had been more sauce / flavor. My partner got the goat burrito, which we've not tried before, and it was good too. read more

Good food, TERRIBLE service! Really wanted to support this place as a local but they have the audacity to charge you extra for salsa when you're already dropping $15 on 3 tamales. Cheaping out on 10 cents worth of salsa isn't the way to win over customers... read more

Probably one of the best burritos I've had in Brooklyn. Try the wet burrito with red sauce if you have a chance! The owner is super nice and cares about his business. Great did a quick bite or take out, humble but authentic Mexican food. read more

The chicken mole lunch special is outstanding. Outdoor eating area in the rear is nice as well read more

Fast and Fresh Burrito Deli - a 3x3 review: 1) Tortas The tortas here are huge...!!?!? Right off the bat, I couldn't wait to dig in. Every bite had the proper ratio of pastor meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and jalapenos; the bread is just thin enough to make the rest of the ingredients the stars of the show. 2) Tostadas Here's to the open-face sandwich of tacos; if it's not the torta, this is the other way to go. I recommend paying the extra 50 cents for avocados because that will bind all the components together. If I had to nitpick, maybe this isn't the most takeout-friendly of options. 3) Service I was greeted by a nice lady with a welcoming energy. While fulfilling orders from both the front counter and the phone that's seems to be always ringing, they seem to know how to run the place efficiently and effectively (as the name suggests). Bring cash because they only accept cash payments, and leave a tip if you can; I'm sure it can go a long way. 5 stars! Support your local businesses! read more

Stopped by for lunch mid-day, the restaurant is an extremely casual location - made to pick up and go. They also sell bottled drinks like Arizona. They have two taco sizes, I ordered two of the larger size. The goat taco was delicious and I'd probably stop by again if I'm nearby don't want to venture off for a taco. Service was nice and quick. read more

Fast and Fresh Burrito Deli - Goat Taco - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Pozole is amazing in winter, all the food is super authentic and delicious. In the warmer weather they have a closed street area and then a back patio which is usually quieter. Service is amazing family owned & run place! Victor snd his wife are always couteous kind and generous on the portions a true gem of old school BK. This is tge type of mom & pop's honemade cooking place we need to go to so they don't disappear to the larger prepackaged chains. read more

Pricey and not what I expected. I am also from Texas so Mexico is across the border and was always easy to get. The guacamole was to die for! The quesadilla was not. I'm not sure if it tasted old, like the chicken was pre cooked a day before but I couldn't eat it at all. I threw it away. However the guacamole was so yummy!!!! They are definitely protected from COVID19 and are protected. I may give them another go. It looked authentic and I may have just caught them on a bad day. I should have gone with the flautas but they were so expensive. New York prices for sure! read more

Small portion for the price. I paid $13.50 after tax for a pork burrito bowl and feel ripped off, as the portion size was small and the food was pretty mushy and bland. I honestly prefer chipotle for a more flavorful, fresher bowl that is also almost double in size. read more

Fast and Fresh Burrito Deli - Pork burrito bowl, pretty small portion size - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Tiny hole in the wall with a pretty spacious back garden. The enchiladas with the green sauce were so fricken good and the chips and salsa were super fresh too! Love it read more

This place is a real gem. If you happen to have wandered in because you were curious, good for you. It's like finding $10 on the floor. From the outside, it looks like a regular bodega. Once you walk in, you'll think you're just ordering some tacos. Suddenly you see an outdoor area with seats and tables. Nothing fancy. Feels like you're in Mexico City eating outside. The tacos are another story. Super delicious. Super satisfying. Super cheap. Carnitas - not your typical carnitas. It has the crispy pork skin! Al Pastor - pineapple pork. The best I've had. Lengua or beer tongue - so tender and tasty. Comes with a roasted jalapeño that's spicy. The home made hot sauce is equally satisfying and delicious. It won't be long before the masses go where it'll no longer be a hidden gem. read more

This is our go-to place for tacos and quesadillas for pickup for almost five years now. Victor and the crew were always gracious and the tacos are delicious! The prices are great too. Would recommend al pastor taco and birria quesadilla read more

We stopped in for a chipotle wet (red sauce) burrito, two tacos (fish and pork), chips and salsa, and a cheese quesadilla. I had the burrito, which was fantastic. (I can't wait to eat it again). My wife had the tacos - loved the pork (carnitas), didn't prefer the fish - but only because she likes her fish tacos breaded, and the kids loved the quesadillas. Everyone loved the chips! Service was friendly and fast. Masks, sanitizer, etc present. We found our new favorite local Mexican joint. read more

You would never think that a place with such a name would have SO MUCH legit Mexican food. But, it's all fantastic. From the chicken soup, to the shrimp tacos to, yes, the burritos. Don't miss it... one of the best Mexican restaurants anywhere in this part of Brooklyn! PS - cute outdoor space in the back read more

Delicious food, really fast service, huge portions. This place is a gem in a neighborhood otherwise without great options for Mexican food

Great prices for some large portioned authentic Mexican food! The burritos with added avocado are my favorite on the menu 10/10 recommend stopping by if you're in the area! read more

Discovered this little hole in the wall while walking around during my lunch strolls in the neighborhood. Was pleasantly surprised to see this spot serves up some really tasty dishes at a reasonable price. My favorite items to indulge in are the huaraches, or soft shell tacos either the vegetarian, fish or shrimp ones. Everything is always fresh and the food goes well with sorrel/hibiscus drink or horchata (rice milk drink). The best part of this little gem is the outside seating area, it's so rustic yet serene when enjoying lunch on a warm sunny day. The staff are very nice and accommodating, even when you desire an item with a particular protein, they'll hook you up. The place is always buzzing with neighborhood workers, construction workers and municipal employees, grabbing a bite to go. If you're in the neighborhood, definitely stop by and grab a bite. read more

The name says it all; fast, fresh, burritos, and a hell of a good deal-i!!! This quaint hole in the wall Mexican spot makes killer tacos and all day breakfast burritos (I am a breakfast burrito fiend). They do a massive selection of fillings including some fun ones like goat and beef tongue! These tacos are biggo ones; I was plenty full after 3. I've tried the al pastor, spicy pork and carnitas tacos from here. They do corn tortillas and fill the tacos up. The meat was a little dry but for the price and variety I'm very impressed. I liked the spicy pork the best of the ones I've tried. I've also had the breakfast burritos before and it hits the spot (although I tend to douse mine with Tabasco when I get home). Very egg-y, rice, pintos beans and some sour cream. I feel full but not too heavy after. Pro tip: you can order online for pickup. Plus your first online order is 10% off! There's also a patio in the back for the warmer months. read more

Fast and Fresh Burrito Deli - Al Pastor, Carnitas and Spicy pork regular tacos - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I had a cheese tamale, the cheese flautas, and the guac and chips with some salsa on the side. It was so good! Still dreaming about it. Yummmm. Can't wait to go back! Also a great backyard too. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! Been coming here for years since college was nearby, and it's been my favorite comfort food (especially after exams). Honestly at first I was quite skeptical of ever entering, but I would always pass by because I went to Absolute Coffee so often, I thought I may as well! And it's been one of the greatest food decisions of my life! I usually snack on a chorizo tostada and add extra avocado on top. There's usually a bit of a wait (~5-10 minutes), but once you get it it's just like wow, this is heaven! It's a mountain of fatty goodness on top of a crispy tortilla shell. It's loaded with chorizo and spicy oil, some bean paste I think, a bunch of sprinkled cheese and cream on top with the avocado. The process of eating it is pretty messy but your stomach will appreciate it. Super yummy and I don't think any other place I've been to can top their chorizo tostada. I've tried their tacos, torta and burrito bowls, and agree with others that the torta isn't very amazing, but everything else is great, though the chorizo tostada really tops all for me! Also love that it's a local, family owned establishment - the lady and gentleman at the front are always very kind. The back has more space to eat if you need it too. Note that prices have gone up slightly too, but it's understandable considering the area and that chorizo tostada that is practically a meal for me has still been under $5 -- score! read more

Fast and Fresh Burrito Deli - Wish I didn't take it in the dark, but hope it does some justice! - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I apologize I didn't take any picture of my delicious pulled pork tacos - extra spicy, blame it on my hungry stomach. I was on my way to pick up a pair of shoes I bought online from Macy's and I passed fast and fresh. I made a mental note to return because I didn't feel like cooking. Again, I tell you, I must walked pass this restaurant a million times and never noticed it. Honestly, it must be because it's Halloween night. So, I did return and got two spicy pulled pork tacos and they were the best tacos I've had in a very long time. Fast and Fresh won me over with just two tacos, I can't imagine what I might be feeling right about now if I had a burrito or a sit down dinner. Go Fast and get your life!! read more

When I say that I love you, Fast & Fresh Deli, I don't mean some cheap, fleeting love at first sight. I'll be the first to admit that in the past, I've been sucked in by a greasy taco at a vulnerable time in my life. However, the deep, abiding affection I feel for you is a friendship, a mutual respect that's been built up over time through trust and burritos. You've been there for me whenever I've been betrayed by the inconsistency of a slutty sandwich shop whose initial promise had me flying high one day, and sobbing into soggy bread the next. You've been there for me with a quick and greasy torta during prime brunchtime, when waits are interminable and no one seems to care that I might die if I don't get some food in me fast. Sure, there might be tastier tacos around,* and your al pastor isn't really al pastor...but I truly appreciate that you always offer such excellent value, and that your chorizo burrito is consistently satisfying. I don't just love you; I like you too. __________ *Not in the immediate area though. This joint absolutely poops on Pacifico's food. read more

I must have ordered the wrong thing because my burrito was so bland. It tasted like they forgot to season the chicken! Service was fast, but I was very disappointed in my burrito :( read more

So hubby and I were in the neighborhood and he um... Torta thought it would be a swell idea to stop here for lunch. He was hangry and not in the mood to wait while I angsted over other possible options. If I ever wanted to win the proverbial war, I realized this was not a battle worth fighting, so Fast & Fresh Burrito Deli it was. Now, to back up for a second, this used to be an occasional go-to for us back in the day. But it had been a looong while since we'd eaten here and sure, I was Torta curious to find out if it was still good: Anyway, would you believe I wound up getting a Torta? Well, I did; with spicy pork, aka enchilada. And I don't know... the bread was a bit dry and probably bordering on stale. And all I could taste was meat, which just wasn't special enough to carry the whole sandwich. To me, a well-made Torta is all about layers of flavor, and I just wasn't feelin' it with this. From what I remember, the Tortas here used to run around $5 or maybe $6 and for that price, I can be a whole lot more forgiving. But they've inched up to $9 now, and more $ = higher expectations. On the plus side, this was big enough for me to save half to take home to the kid, who fwiw, also found the sandwich to be pretty 'meh,' without any prompting from Mama. That's my boy. Hubby got a 'Burrito Bowl' for $9.50, which I think is a newer thing. He enjoyed it well enough, but not so much that he feels compelled to ever eat one again. In the 'every bit as awesome as I remember' category, the backyard is happily still the same. I love how this otherwise random-seeming deli opens up to such a charming, little outdoor space. Since I wouldn't protest *too* much about returning here to dine 'al fresco,' when spring hits, am going with 3 stars. But ultimately, am Torta disappointed. In fact, I don't want to Taco 'bout it anymore.:) read more

I have been going here for the last five years and have nothing but good things to say about this restaurant. Great quality food and very friendly staff. Best burritos in Brooklyn in my opinion. read more

Not a fan of this place. A bit pricey for the quality. I'd rather have gone to chipotle. The chicken quesadilla didn't taste the greatest and was very oily and greasy. They don't give a lot of beans or lettuce with the order. It was my first time here and probably won't ever be back. read more

Fast and Fresh Burrito Deli - Chicken quesadilla. Not the greatest. One spoon of beans, one spoon of lettuce. - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This has become my everyday place to eat and I love everything about it. The service is always fast when I order. The horchata drink is as authentic as it can get. I loved the flautas filled with potato-or fried tacos not sure how they have it on the menu.The burrito is huge but oh so good. I love looking at the buffet table and just picking out something to try next. The Jamaica drink was great. Coffee and tea for breakfast is good too. They have a rack of chips which is awesome because sometimes I need an extra snack. They had corn bread muffins one morning and Mexican bread, conchas, I haven't tried the conchas but they look good. Will definitely continue to eat here. read more

We were looking for a small, local restaurant to grab a quick, late dinner and this restaurant did not disappoint. The service was excellent and the food was great. The portions were big enough that we had leftovers for the next day. read more

This is my favorite place to get mexican food in all of NYC! This place seems like your average deli from the outside but on the inside they make some of the best Mexican food in New York. I live in Manhattan but whenever I am in Brooklyn I make it a point to stop by here. I usually get tacos or tostadas. The tacos always come served on two corn tortillas. I've tried pretty much all of their meats and they are all delicious. Their Carnitas is always perfectly tender and tasty. The tostada shells stay crispy and somehow hold up all of the toppings that they put on them. My one recommendation if you go is get a chorizo tostada. It is one of the best things I have ever eaten! read more

I ordered a shrimp burrito. It was inedible. The shrimp were small & tough. The burrito itself was dry & tasteless. I called & spoke to the person who took my order to let him know my disappointment. He told me that the shrimp were fine. A total waste of $14! The food was fast , definitely not fresh. read more

Who knew that there's great Mexican food in Downtown Brooklyn? Having moved from San Francisco last year, I've been searching for a good pastor taco in vain ever since! Thankfully, Fast & Fresh delivers delicious, inexpensive Mexican food in a low-key, homey environment. While you won't find California avocados here, you will find a trio of perfectly seasoned al pastor tacos for just $6. Their burritos include some unorthodox touches like roasted peppers and tomatoes, and are also worth trying. There's a spacious back patio which is perfect for big groups or just relaxing in hot weather. A must-try if you're in Downtown BK for lunch! read more

Fast and Fresh Burrito Deli - Tacos al pastor - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Ehhh last couple times I went they really did the bare minimum on the meat. Still good but deducting a star.

Not bad at all! Looks like a rando shop that might serve you crappy food but it's pretty good burrito! I'm from SF originally and I was always told good Mexican food doesn't exist in the east coast. I opted for the chicken mole instead of the famous al pastor cause I don't do pineapples :(. The chicken mole burrito uses chicken leg meat instead of breast (so said on menu) I also opted out of sour cream, but yes to everything else including cheese! I like how the mole isn't overbearing but still has that small kick to it. The meat is soft and easy to bite and yes, the bits of peppers is different than a Cali burrito but I liked it nonetheless Total for the burrito was $7! read more

Fast and Fresh Burrito Deli - Chicken mole burrito - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The burrito is still warm in my belly as I write this review, so I think I can provide a fair assessment of how it is. I've been on a quest to find a SoCal burrito in NYC. So far, all the recommendations I've received haven't hit the mark -- until now. This is the most authentic San Diego-style burrito I've had since moving to the East Coast. If you're a Californian, you'll feel right at home at this hole-in-the-wall spot. My recommendation is the mole burrito, but the tort as look really good too. The reason I docked a star? The chicken was a little grisly. But the mole was perfect, as were the beans, rice and crema. read more

Fast and Fresh is a great option for quick Mexican Food. I like to take my order and sit in the back yard. I usually ask for the daily specials, which usually vary from day to day. I'm open minded, and one day I was fortunate to try the stewed goat tacos. It's a great way to try Mexican items that you don't normally find around this area of Brooklyn, like pancita "Mexican tripe soup" or fresh tamales (chicken, pork, cheese). Victor, the owner is a nice guy. One day I asked him if he could make me some agua fresca for an event that I was catering. I supplied the watermelon, and he was kind enough to make it for me. read more

I need to update the review I submitted four years ago 'cos the prices have increased considerably since then. The Fast & Fresh Burrito I used to order for $6.50 is no longer on the menu & all burritos are now $9. While I'm surprised that a Mexican deli like this can still exist in such a gentrified section of Brooklyn, I'm not at all surprised that they had to raise their prices. I stopped in this morning, en route to JFK, & ordered a 'Mexican Breakfast' of Huevos Rancheros. While it was tasty, I don't eat out of styrofoam (on behalf of Planet Earth), & $8 is a little on the pricey side for a meal like this. In closing, Fast & Fresh still receives the San Francisco native stamp of approval for flavor but I am gonna have to retract my 'Eatin' Out in Brooklyn on a Budget' award from 2013. read more

Come here for the cheap tacos. Stay for the backyard. Tacos are about $2.50-$3 apiece. Get the chorizo or the chivo (goat) tacos. You can skip the pork ones. Their pastor isn't actually al pastor (no spit in sight), and the enchilada (spicy pork) was just okay. The tortillas seemed a bit stale to me. And they're pretty barebones when it comes to condiments (there was very, very crusty bottle of Valentina hot sauce on the counter). Service is a bit slow. I watched a woman walk in to buy some chips and get ignored by the staff. She even called at them, and they just told her to wait. Tacos took awhile to make too. But oh, the backyard. A wonderful place to be when the weather's nice. It looked like they had just started setting up for the summer and futbol season. There was a Mexican flag that still had creases from being in a package, and there were employees putting up an off-brand flat screen TV. I imagine it'd be a fun place to catch a game and eat a couple of tacos. They're not officially BYOB, but if you ask nicely and pour your beers into a paper cup... Anyway, go to Sunset Park or Queens if you want good tacos. read more

What a disappointment. Come on Yelpers! Best tacos outside of California? Give me a break. There are hundreds better Taco restaurants in other parts of Brooklyn and in the city. The Red Hook Taco Trucks are a million time betters. We had the spicy pork, chorizo, chicken and steak tacos - it wasn't terrible but it wasn't spectacular either. Given that its 10 blocks from my place, it would take a herculean effort to get me there again read more

Legit authentic Mexican food. So not like anything else in the part of Brooklyn. Red pork is everything-- on tacos, burritos. Awesome!
