Burrito Gallery in Brooklyn Station

[ProjectMaximus]

I've been away for a couple weeks so I might have missed this, but it's very exciting to me:

Excellent news!!!

Despite the design, this is going to be a hopping place. Here's hoping the sky way extension goes through.

Looks like Burrito Gallery In Brooklyn Station is gearing up for an opening soon. I walk by there on my lunch break every week, they're busy at work inside.  It will save me that 1 mile drive to the downtown location woohoo! (Seriously, I will go more)

It's not that parking is impossible downtown, but it's just enough to deter me from tacos on most work days.  They should do well at this location.

I've been peering in the window for a while now.  It was difficult to determine how close they were getting until just this week.  looks like the finishing touches are being added now.

Can't get the rendering to open.

It's open, very nice inside and on the patio. I joked with my friend that it looked like Bar Rescue had been in there.

My only concern is the one BG staple I've been eating since 2005, their blacken chicken quesadilla. The one downtown serves up a delicious, huge, flavorful quesadilla, the one I had at Brooklyn station was completely different. I'm hoping this isn't the case with the rest of their food. Tacos looked smaller as well, but my coworker said they were very fresh and delicious.

So i'm guessing although it carries the same name, their menu at Brooklyn Station is a bit different. Ingredients are too.

How's the view from the rooftop?

I'm sure they're trying a new set up on their menu, but will evolve as time goes on. As for the above poster, the rooftop is pretty cool. It doesn't open until 4:30 on weekdays, but the view is pretty good.

Yep.  The tacos are like half the size of what they are downtown and the same price.  We were kind of meh about the whole place and decided we'd keep going downtown.  They've tried to fancy it up in Brooklyn and while the menu looks interesting the execution was a little lacking.  Hopefully things get ironed out and hopefully they don't bring down the original location in this whole process.

Good lord why would you change the best part of Burrito Gallery??  The food... wow...

[Captain Zissou]

I've now been there 4 times.  Twice I've had issues with the food coming out promptly.  The tacos are tiny and today my coleslaw was basically just a bowl of cabbage and my Bacon Burger taco was off. I like the atmosphere, but they have some kitchen and service issues to work out.

I'll reserve judgement for a while. But I wasn't blown away with the service or the food. To top it off I had to stand in a line to order my food, then stood in,line at the bar to get a beer. The whole experience seemed very corporate, not the funky local feel of the original. Hoping they get things corrected.

[Dapperdan]

Was not impressed at all.  The DT location has a totally different clientele and vibe that I love. It is all scrubbed in this one. Very sterile environment to me and the food does taste and look different.
