After being closed for nearly eight months, Downtown Burritos Cocina Mexicana (FKA Downtown Bakery) will open this Friday morning at 69 First Ave. between Fourth Street and Fifth Street.
Daily hours moving forward: 7 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Co-owners and brothers Ivan (left) and Mario Marín passed the Health Department inspection yesterday... and they previously got the OK from Con Ed for the gas service ...
As we first reported, Ivan and Mario, the longtime managers (20 years) of Downtown Bakery, bought the longtime business (established 1990) earlier this spring when the owner retired.
This came on the heels of a DOH-mandated closure in February for Downtown Bakery operating with an expired health permit. The new owners then decided to take the opportunity to update the interior.
In renaming the business, the brothers mentioned the confusion regarding the inclusion of "Bakery" — people would call and ask about baked goods.

Great news. Best breakfast burritos in town!
Yay! Now let the complaints about the city and the mayor begin in 3...2...1...
Yes!!!
Oh we couldn't be more pleased. We've gone by more than once and had started to give up hope. Great news. Wishing them the best of luck.
yay! love those guys!
good to have a little bit of the old neighborhood back!
I get the confusion with the word bakery, it is like the recent bars that have motel in their name.
Whenever I’d recommended them to those visiting NYC I would say, never mind the bakery part it’s not a bakery. Many were already confused after hitting all the East Village bars I’d recommended 😂
Best news I've heard today. Nice folks, delicious authentic food.
Hip, hip, hooray and olé!
Great news. Love these guys. Hope they still sell their tamales. So good :)
HOORAY! The nicest guys, and the best steak sandwich around. I hope it's still on the menu. :) Either way, can't wait to visit! We missed you, DTB!
Such cuties
Going off on a tangent, Kotobuki is closing up shop tomorrow today is their last day of service. Just had lunch there and was told this sad news.
Kotobuki. No......
Best news ever!!!!!!
I always heard that the space used to be a bakery and when new owners came in and started the Mexican place they didn't bother to change the name which I always thought was BRILLIANT
Hell Yeah!! See you this weekend DBCM.
Yahooooo!!! Congrats, brothers. I'll be in very soon.
Oh this is great news. I really missed them!
