Bel Aire Diner

Finding of the Largest Burritos in NYC at a Diner in Astoria | Eater NY

"My final diner visit was to Bel Aire Diner, a massive chrome, 1950s hot-rod–themed spot way west on Broadway at 31-91 21st Street in Astoria that has been a family-owned local favorite for over 50 years. Its Mexican 'South of the Border' page includes chimichangas, a chorizo torta, shrimp fajitas and a carnitas bowl, and I ordered the 'double stuffed giant burrito' ($30): two giant flour tortillas annealed together with cheese and stuffed with steak, chicken, rice, bell peppers and a half dozen other ingredients. The burrito was too mellow for me, though the bottled chile sauce, crema and a Peruvian green hot sauce encouraged me to dip every bite—fine but not worth $30, and I only ate half." - Robert Sietsema
