Welcome Neighburrito
Opened just this past Thursday on Rivington between Essex and Norfolk is Neighburrito, a tiny restaurant featuring homemade Mexican food. Menu items include burritos made with chicken, steak, pork or tilapia, and they even feature an “all vegan” burrito made with lime-marinated tofu, soy cheese and soy sour cream. I tried it, it was quite good. I felt healthy eating it, and the flavor was not compromised. It was smothered with a home-made sauce. For a $6.50-$7.50 burrito, they throw in free chips with salsa (your choice of mild, medium and hot), which is a nice little freebie. They also have a make your own burrito menu, quesadillas, salads, and specialty fruit drinks. I actually watched as my burrito was being made behind the counter and the ingredients did in fact look fresh and homemade. Definitely not your typical take-out burrito joint.
Neighburrito stays open until 2am from Tuesday to Saturday nights, which should be popular with the Lower East Side late night bar crowd. It’s a welcome new addition to the hood.
