Burrito Loco

Burrito Loco serves reliable Mexican food a block off Washington Square Park. Expect fast lunches and convenience after dark, when the kitchen keeps running into the evening. Add a margarita or draft beer at the counter and you have a short, sturdy meal. Solo diners slide into a quiet chair most afternoons; the same booths fill on weekend nights, a cue for quick turnover.

Find it at 166 W 4th St A, New York, NY 10014, where the awning hangs above a high-top table section for to-go orders and late-night cravings. The neighborhood brims with pop-ups and late-night cafes, but this address specializes in coffee and beer as much as tacos and enchiladas.
