Ursula Brooklyn

"It’s impossible to resist the siren song of Ursula’s breakfast burritos, especially when you’re a little bit hungover—the outsides get kissed on the griddle, and the insides are stuffed with hashbrowns, among other things. A meal at this pink and turquoise restaurant in Bed-Stuy is the closest you can get to New Mexican food in New York, with chile peppers and other ingredients imported directly from the Land of Enchantment. They also have excellent coffee and cocktails for those mornings when you need one drink for energy, one drink for fun, and some water for hydration or whatever. " - neha talreja, will hartman, bryan kim, kenny yang

"Ursula started in Crown Heights as a takeout operation, where it received accolades and inspired lines for its stellar breakfast burrito. In 2023, owner Eric See moved the restaurant to a bigger location in Bed-Stuy that has sit-down seating, cocktails, brunch, and dinner." - Eater Staff

"Beef Sopapilla October 4th “I’ve been eating fried dough for just about as long as I’ve had teeth. I’ve had churros, beignets, funnel cakes, and even fried ice cream. But I’ve never had it stuffed with beef, red chile, refried beans, and cheese until Ursula opened up in Crown Heights. Now, the fried dough at this New Mexican spot is all I need. Even without the stuffing, the fried dough deserves an award for being so crispy on the outside and buttery smooth on the inside. Adding the other ingredients just makes this the gold-plated helicopter of fried dough foods.” -Nikko Duren, Editorial Assistant" - hannah albertine, nikko duren, hillary reinsberg, arden shore, matt tervooren

"When Ursula first opened as a tiny Crown Heights takeout spot in September 2020, it drew a line that was 90% due to its New Mexico-style breakfast burritos, and 10% due to the fact that there was nothing else to do. We were all starved for human interaction, and excited by the prospect of standing around on a rainy fall day, fantasizing about who else in line might turn out to be our future spouse. Since then, Ursula opened as a larger space in Bed-Stuy, where you can share small plates with a date at a counter overlooking an open kitchen. It's one of our favorite brunch spots and we’d still seek out the burritos (either smothered, or plain), above all else. They’re stuffed with soft scrambled eggs, hash browns, and other fillings like chorizo with red chiles. Proudly wear a little neon orange grease around the corners of your mouth the rest of the day—a little reminder to everyone that your lazy Sunday started a whole lot better than theirs. photo credit: Kate Previte photo credit: Kate Previte photo credit: Kate Previte If you do stumble in with a friend on a particularly aimless evening, you can also eat a lamb carnitas tostada, or poblano relleno, and have a lovely, low-key night with a mezcal cocktail or a glass of wine in the white and turquoise room. But it’s those breakfast burritos that'll keep us coming back to wait in rainy weekend lines. photo credit: Kate Previte" - Willa Moore

"A meal at Ursula is the closest you can get to New Mexican food in New York, with chile peppers and other ingredients imported directly from the Land of Enchantment. It’s open all day, serving sandwiches and their legendary hash brown-stuffed breakfast burritos until 2pm. At night, they switch over to small plates, like eggplant tamal and corn salad, and cocktails. The space is done up in vibrant pink and turquoise, with a few tables in the front dining room, and a long bar in the back overlooking an open kitchen. We recommend grabbing a seat here so you can watch the chefs drop battered chicken into a Dutch oven of hot oil before it goes into your green chile-smothered sandwich." - neha talreja, nikko duren, bryan kim
