Ana's Cafe 7.6
Garment District
Vibes: Cheap Eats Budget Brilliance Quick Bites Champions Solo Dining Sanctuaries Hidden Gems Heaven
A café-first neighborhood stop that quietly covers a legit burrito craving alongside coffee and breakfast staples. The burrito is straightforward and filling—best for a quick, affordable Midtown reset rather than a destination taqueria moment.
Must-Try Dishes: Chicken Burrito, Breakfast Burrito, Coffee + Pastry
Scores:
Value: 8.3 Service: 7.8 Consistency: 7.2 Food Quality: 7.4 Atmosphere: 6.1 Cultural Relevance: 6.4
What makes it special: A coffee-and-café spot that also does a satisfying burrito.
Who should go: Budget lunch people and quick breakfast grabbers
When to visit: Morning or mid-afternoon lull
What to order: Chicken burrito, breakfast burrito, coffee
Insider tip: If you’re eating in, grab hot sauce before you sit.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: No dedicated parking; street parking is very limited in the Garment District. Nearby garages are the most reliable option.
Dress code: Very casual — jeans, work clothes, or athleisure all fit right in.
Noise level: Low to moderate — generally quiet enough for solo dining or casual conversation.
Weekend wait: Not applicable — primarily a daytime café with minimal evening traffic.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait; brief line possible during the noon rush but it moves fast.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — vegetarian burrito and breakfast-style options available.
Vegan options: Limited — possible with simple customizations, but not clearly labeled.
Gluten-free options: Limited — burritos are flour-tortilla based; some fillings may work in bowls but cross-contact is likely.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal for a date — it’s more of a quick café stop than a sit-and-linger spot.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — seating is first-come, first-served, and turnover is quick.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for older kids — simple menu and casual setup, but no kid-specific amenities.
Best For
Better for: Quick, low-cost burritos paired with coffee in a calm, no-frills café setting.
Skip if: You want bold taqueria flavors, a social dining vibe, or a destination-level burrito experience.
