“It’s absurdly good. Vato’s tortillas are made by machine, Juarez and Border Town make them by hand.”

“I found the food to be pretty subpar. And the main disappointing was the tortillas, they were quite drug hard and not at all stretchy”

replying to u/ChivalrousWombat: Border Town! They’re currently a popup, but opening a brick and mortar in Greenpoint in the fall I believe. Check out their instagram for their schedule.

“Border Town and Burritos Juarez have amazing hand-rolled flour tortillas but they’re filled with guisos, not grilled meats.”

replying to u/ChivalrousWombat: I’ll have to give the breakfast burrito a shot. Unfortunately I went for dinner with a friend and I found the food to be pretty subpar. And the main disappointing was the tortillas, they were quite drug hard and not at all stretchy which was what I heard then described as on so many occasions. I’ll chalk it up to a bad night. The drinks were incredible though. OP, have you tried Ammazza Deli’s breakfast burrito? I’m curious to see how other folks feel about it but it remains the only breakfast burrito I’ve enjoyed, while relatively small for the price, I found it to be filling and the best tasting breakfast burrito I’ve had (filling wise). Unfortunately for the deli, I had a pretty awful experience getting a takeout lunch there. Wrong orders and burnt food which was kind of crazy, and since I was already back home I didn’t bother trying to return it. And I have to agree with OP’s review of Ceremonia, I was genuinely shocked how well regarded the breakfast burrito is. I found it to be flavorless with the texture of slop on the inside and it’s become a benchmark for who I listen to in the breakfast burrito recommendation world. I did enjoy a couple separate pastries from their bakery however.
“I haven’t gone for dinner but had a burrito and breakfast tacos and found them pretty ok? Not really driven to go back.”

“It wasn't necessarily for me (IMO the deep-frying seemed like a bit of a waste of an amazing tortilla)”

“I love their breakfast burritos (and tacos) but they aren't selling them these days.”
