American staples & Mexican eats, featuring amazing breakfast burritos



























"This casual luncheonette is one of Inwood’s most popular spots for an easy and affordable breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Much of the menu is made on the flat top grill right behind the counter, including freshly-made Mexican dishes ranging from tacos to tortas, plus egg sandwiches, pancakes, and the like. But the breakfast burrito might just be the best thing here. Get the works: scrambled eggs, home fries, chorizo, cheddar cheese, avocado, and salsa wrapped in a large tortilla and sliced in half. You’ll pretty much be set for the rest of the day." - willa moore, nikko duren, matt tervooren, the curious uptowner
"Distance from the start: 0.4 miles Bathroom: No Right around the corner from Buunni you’ll find G’s Coffee Shop. (Two stops in the first mile—it’s good to ease into things.) This compact Inwood spot is home to a breakfast burrito that might even impress your most annoying friend from California. Order the sausage or chorizo, which they'll cook on a flat top right behind the counter. Even if you're not hungry—Big Walk jitters, we understand—get one for the road. Your next stop isn't for a while, and even at room temperature, this burrito is an award-winner." - willa moore
"I tried a compact burrito here with home fries, cheddar cheese, sliced avocado, and a thin omelet." - Luke Fortney
"G’s Coffee Shop feels like a tiny diner where customers sit at stools and order fried eggs, pancakes, and burgers. Listed on a separate, handwritten sign is the breakfast burrito. Crispy home fries, gooey cheddar cheese, creamy avocado, and a thin omelet are rolled up in a flour tortilla with the choice of protein. Choose the spicy chorizo." - Emma Orlow

"This Inwood lunch counter feels like a tiny diner where customers sitting at a handful of stools order fried eggs, pancakes, and burgers. One item of particular merit is the breakfast burrito, which finds the egg cooked as a layer inside of the flour tortilla, as if it were a Beijing bing, and then cubed and browned breakfast potatoes and nuggets of avocado crammed inside, making one of the best examples of the breakfast burrito genre. It isn’t bursting at the seams like some other burritos on this list, but it’s just as satisfying." - Robert Sietsema
