Downtown Burritos

The Best East Village Mexican Restaurants | Eater NY

"Morphing from an Italian bakery to a Mexican bakery and finally to a taqueria, this venerable bare-bones institution open since the early ’90s ( recently closed for a year and with a name change from Downtown Bakery to Downtown Burritos) was founded by Pueblan immigrants Olivia Marin and Manuel Marmolejo. It produces some of the most wallet-friendly eats in the neighborhood. My favorite is the chicken enchiladas with chile guajillo sauce, but the breakfast tacos and humongous burritos are similarly compelling." - Robert Sietsema
