Chinelos 2 Corporation

This restaurant reminds me of a Taqueria. Tex-Mex, and Mexican food. Delicious serving and price.

Super cheap and really good, ordered from here a bunch of times.

How was the ordering experience? This experience is one of the parts of New York that I absolutely love. I called ahead to order a burrito for pickup. No problems. When I arrived, whoever took my order must have stepped out because nobody there had more than a VERY basic understanding of English. I know un poco Spanish, but not a whole lot, so we had a back and forth, trying to communicate which order was mine, how I planned on paying for it, and if I wanted sauces. It was a tiny little step out of my comfort zone that makes travel so appealing, but I just had to go north a few dozen blocks! Also note – the restaurant is divided in half between the restaurant and the bodega. Go pay at the bodega side before you pick up your burrito.

How delicious was the food? So good! I might even say my second favorite in the city (beating out the Jalapeño food cart that I don’t think is around anymore, sadly, but still not topping Tulcingo Del Valle in Hell’s Kitchen)

Did it fill me up for $5 or less? Oh yeah. It was a giant chorizo burrito and the final cost was $4 – no tax! I couldn’t be more excited about this find.

Conclusion: Pick up one of these burritos. They are delicious and getting them is an experience. Make sure you figure out a way to communicate that you want the sauces as well!
