Son del North

The 17 Best New Restaurants In NYC

"A burrito is only as good as its tortilla—is a new life motto we made up. Try the burritos at Son Del North and you’ll see what we mean. This fast casual burrito counter on the Lower East Side flies in their tortillas from Sonora, which is famous for chewy, flaky tortillas with a high fat content. This spot is also adamantly anti-rice, filling up instead with mayocoba beans, big chunks of avocado, cheese, and your protein of choice. There are five options and our favorite is the steak, thanks to a flavorful coating of sala roja. Son Del North is open until 12am, and already mobbed by the bar crowd, but they keep it moving and those tortillas are worth it." - molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, will hartman
