NOT really a restaurant, but one of the best burritos you can get in the East Village if not all of NYC. There are only 4 tables in this tiny Mexican Bodega turned restaurant. Daily choices of meat are made by the owners each day. Home cooked, great prices, a real gem.

Getting Around
My best transport recommendation is to grab the M14A at 11th street between Avenue A & Avenue B.
If you take it north and across 14th street to any cross town subway for the (4,5,6,N,R Union Square Stop) (L train to Brooklyn at 1st Avenue Stop) and to (A,C,E at 9th Avenue Stop).
