Delivery · Takeout
Reliable neighborhood spot for generous burritos and quick takeout with many vegetarian choices, but delivery consistency and occasional billing issues warrant vigilance.
Why it gets a B for overall quality
Burritos Y Mas NY delivers solid neighborhood quality through fresh, flavorful burritos with generous fillings and warm, efficient counter service. However, inconsistent execution—occasional soggy delivery and cold food—and isolated food safety lapses prevent grade A territory. A practical East Harlem spot with loyal repeat customers, strong value, and reliable in-house dining, but logistics and occasional quality dips keep it in solid B range.
Restaurant Summary
A no-frills East Harlem counter spot with fresh, generously filled burritos and a loyal neighborhood following. Reviewers highlight warm greetings and quick prep, like one who said, "they explained the options clearly" before sending out a packed steak burrito. It is a simple, low-key room with a handful of tables, tuned for takeout and fast meals rather than lingering. Cooking skews classic Mexican-American—burritos, tacos, quesadillas—executed with reliable flavor and an unusual number of plant-based choices. Expect fresh pico, beans that hold their shape, and burritos that travel well more often than not. Value shines in-house, though delivery can be uneven and occasionally late; still, many keep returning because the food tastes freshly made and portions feel fair for the price. Families do fine here. Kids will recognize chicken quesadillas and tacos, and even bean burritos earned compliments from younger diners in reviews. There is no kids menu, but the straightforward build of burritos makes it easy to order milder, simpler versions; seating is limited, so peak times may be better for quick eats than sprawling family meals.
