Overpriced and slow

For a lunch place, if it takes longer to wait for the food than it does to order it, the appeal just isn't there. Only here it was even worse. I only ordered a burrito and the place wasn't busy, but I waited 20 minutes. The food wasn't bad, really, but a single burrito with nothing- not even beans and rice on the side - was $13 plus tip. And a 20 minute wait. Sorry, never again.

Have been here before and thought it was ok and kinda fun at night but in the light of day I changed my mind. When we sat down our silverware was dirty and i fould a HAIR IN MY FOOD. That is disgusting! Obviously not a clean place! I know it is cheap Mexican but not clean or sanitary!

I have eaten at Bennie's maybe four or five times, and we have always enjoyed it. The service is always quick and friendly. The drinks keep flowing. We have never been disappointed with our meals. The atmosphere is very lively, and there is much to watch walking by this little eatery.

Burritos have little meat inside and are bland. The SALSA is not fresh, from a bottle with vinager and I ordered fresh jalapenos and got pickled ones from a bottle/can.

A friend and I shared the omelette with chorizo sausage. We both became very ill about 12 hours later; and for the next 2-3 days with time out from work due to diarrhea, vomiting, & weakness. After reviewing their NYC Health inspections, it's no wonder we got sick. Here are parts of the report from 1/22/09 at nyc.gov: Violation points: 30 Sanitary Violations 2.) Canned food product observed severely dented. 3.) Facility not vermin proof. Harborage or conditions conducive to vermin exist. 4.) Evidence of roaches or live roaches present in facility's food and/or non-food areas. 5.) Evidence of mice or live mice present in facility's food and/or non-food areas. 6.) Evidence of rats or live rats present in facility's food and/or non-food areas. 7.) Food not cooled by an approved method whereby the internal product temperature is reduced from 140°F to 70°F or less within 2 hours and from 70°F to 45°F or less within 4 additional hours. 8.)

This place has yummy chips and salsa and 3 dollar margaritas that while they don't look like they pack a punch you will definitely feel them after your second one (and at 3 bucks each, go for the second one). BBQ Chicken burrito is huge and easily splitable. Shame they got rid of the fried plantains on the menu. Those were delicious but they are trying to go on a "healthier" route. Maybe they shouldn't serve super salty chips then but then I would probabbly stop going. =)

Chipotle is becoming the new “rage” of the North. Benny’s Burritos (owned by the legendary Blockheads) is not quite as good in the food category as its big brother Blockheads, but the flavored marguerita’s are to be rivaled. The good thing about the food is that it can be pretty sizeable portions and they tend to be cook carb-conscious. With that said, the food is good, but not better than a lot of other Chipotle places here in the city. Now, the flavored marguerita’s are exceptional. They have a ton of flavors, but fan favorites tend to be the Kiwi, Mango and the Black Flower. The tequila shots there are sizeable, cheap and potent. The service is also great. The establishment attracts the Village crowd as well as the Upper East Side yuppies. It is a great place to go with a group of friends for a happy hour and as a bonding session
