Popular pop-up Los Burritos Juárez has settled into a tiny new home in Fort Greene. The restaurant, started by former Oxomoco chef Alan Delgado, serves a slim menu of burritos and quesadillas — none exceeding $11 (and all without rice). The burritos are made with Juárez-style tortillas — a rarity in NYC. The thick, lard-y flour tortillas are hand-rolled to order, and no matter which filling you get, the tortilla is what you’ll be thinking about days later.
I visited at 1 p.m. on a Saturday, and they had already sold out of a plethora of items, including all breakfast choices. There were only four burritos on the menu, and one cheese quesadilla. The burritos are smaller than your average burrito, so if you’re hungry, order two.
Grab a seat at the counter and watch the well-oiled burrito-making machines in action. The chefs are ultra-efficient, but on busy days, your food may take 20 to 30 minutes to come out.
You’re really here for the tortillas. Grab a stack to go — you’ll thank us when you’re eating them the next day with eggs (although Los Burritos Juárez now has breakfast burritos at 10 a.m.). Vegetarian tortillas sans lard are available.
