I'm relatively satisfied with the items I've tried, but really cannot see myself ever ordering from Burrito House again. Steak Nachos (my favorite food group), while gigantic and overflowing with cheddar cheese, was otherwise bland and flavorless. Chicken Burrito, while gigantic and overflowing with grilled meat, was otherwise bland and flavorless. Nothing feels fresh, and there are so many other better options around.
What you see is what you get – if you like cheap Mex with 15 minute delivery, this place is on point. The nachos and guacamole are great here. I've had every type of taco and salad, and never been disappointed.
$5 minimum delivery fee and a section of the menu dedicated to 'little snacks'? You're a fool to not order from here when times are tough financially and emotionally. I'd gladly share fajitas by the pound with any y'all!
Burrito House aka Burrito Mariachi is not quite in the same league as Taco House, that is almost across the street. But when you can deliver cheap Mexican fare during a blizzard, when most restaurants choose to shut down, you deserve bonus points.
The menu is almost identical to that of most Asian-run, Mexican-serving restaurants in the city–Fresco Tortilla and Taco House, to name a couple of them. I am almost prompted to say "bean there, done that!".
I would recommend the tostada salad, the quesadillas, and the nachos. The delivery speed, which is quite remarkable even in the most inclement weather, ensures that the food is warm even if not fresh. Never mind that the tacos lack a crispy exterior, and the sides look tired most of the time.
Call Burrito House when you are in dire need of cheap Mexican in a hurry. But try your newly-acquired Spanish skills elsewhere, after you have saved $$$$ by getting deliveries from here.
I have a new favorite for Tex-Mex downtown! This area is loaded with Tex-Mex houses. Today my adventure brings me to the Burrito House on Church Street. Burrito House is tucked away in a row of stores just south of Duane Street.
First off, like all the other Tex-Mex locations in this part of town you get no heat. Bring a jacket if you plan on sitting to have lunch. I don't get it but it must hurt the bottom line.
I really like the selection here. They go beyond the usual Tex-Mex menu choices (tacos, nachos, burritos,…) and have added Mexican Pizza, Little Snacks (small soft shell tacos), and enchiladas (for when I really want to go overboard). They also have a selection of "Taco Locals" which looked pretty interesting. Unfortunately the menu board was a little confusing so your best bet for ordering is from a paper menu on the counter.
Today I had the Jack Cheese & Chick Quesadilla ($3.69). It's an 8-inch tortilla like all the others in the neighborhood but here they really stuff it fill of chicken and cheese. It's a handful. Love it! I also like that they give you salsa AND sour cream for the quesadilla. Other places don't do that.
Another big plus for me is that most dishes are available in regular or "big". That appeals to my hungry side when I walk in starving. I've also been eyeing the Quesadilla Gigante ($7.29) for the next trip when I walk in really hungry.
Unlike other Tex-Mex restaurants in the area this place is strictly Tex-Mex. Other restaurants in the area have now grown to be Tex-Mex/Chinese so you can have Chicken Chow Mein with your Burritos. Not impressed, Burrito House only does Tex-Mex and they do it right.
Another big plus for me is that giant "A" plastered in the front window from the NYD Department of Health.
Two solid thumbs up from me. I'll be back to explore the menu further. Stop by if you're in the area, it's a worthwhile visit.
I'm not one to one star, but it's necessary. The order from seamless took 2x the estimated time, which is fine. I called and the lady was upset that I had called. That's fine. Food finally came. The nachos were good, but didn't hold up too well in delivery. I assume that they had been on the bike for a while. The quesadilla was WEIRD. The tortilla was more like a pita bread. It was two tortillas with the stuffing falling all over the place. The Fajitas tasted ASIAN. The Chimichangas tasted ASIAN. Nothing racist, but when the lady picking up the phone is Asian, the delivery guy is Asian, and the food should still be Mexican. The rice was completely just Asian white rice with some tomato paste and the weirdest cheese (and I'm even fine with cheese in a can at this point), and that was "mexican rice". Overall it's nothing you couldn't whip up at home if you were stoned, didn't know how to cook, and knew nothing about Mexican food. Wasn't looking for an authentic experience, but if I was a drunk and didn't eat it, thats saying a lot. I'll eat almost anything, street meat included.
This place was rated higher on seamless web than on yelp, so gave it a shot for dinner. I got the chicken plate which consists of grilled chicken, black beans, and rice with lettuce and tomatoes. I also added on grilled peppers and onions. It comes with 2 tortillas and a side of sour cream and salsa (these are really small, so next time I'll order a few extra). My order came within probably 20 minutes, was warm, and tasted good. What could be wrong with that?
Ordered via Grub Hub. Delivery took about an hour and a half. This is not Mexican food people! The chicken soup was definitely Asian-inspired and the nachos were mediocre. I'm giving this place a 3-star review because the food was edible, the tea tasted great, and the delivery guy look like he was freezing cold upon delivery.
