"A casual daytime bakery from chef and owner Fidel Caballero, this narrow Park Slope spot builds on Corima’s perfect flour tortillas to showcase Northern Mexican–style burritos that are thinner and open-ended (embrace the mess) alongside a short-but-strong lineup of Mexican pastries; tips are collected in a molcajete next to the register, and Basque-meets–Northern Mexican food and drinks are coming at night in the same space. The pollo en mole burrito ($12) is deeply rich, with braised chicken chunks in a flavorful mole negro; the simple refried beans and melty asadero cheese burrito ($9) is wholly satisfying, and add both the green and red salsas to all burritos. For sweets, the concha ($7) is fluffy, made with totomoxtle (corn husks), topped with a craquelin, and filled with bright yuzu curd — it’s so soft and light — while the churro whorl ($7) is extremely moist, though I wish it came with a side of caramel. It’s counter-service: order at the front (there might be a line around early breakfast and lunchtime) where pastries are displayed, take a number, wait near the register for coffee or pastries, then move to the back of the counter to pick up burritos — it’s a little confusing. The small dining room in back fills up fast, but there’s a back patio for nice-weather days, and you can bring home the tortillas in packs of 10." - Nadia Chaudhury
