A new era begins for Downtown Burritos Cocina Mexicana on 1st Avenue

Photos and reporting by Stacie Joy

Downtown Burritos Cocina Mexicana (FKA Downtown Bakery) returned to service on Friday after nearly eight months on the sidelines.

On Friday evening, I stopped by the small shop at 69 First Ave. between Fourth Street and Fifth Street and found a line out the door.  
Patrons waited patiently for brothers Ivan and Mario Marín to prepare their orders (most of them were to-go)...
There was an upbeat vibe, with many longtime customers returning to congratulate the Marín brothers, the longtime managers who took over as owners in the spring. 

The most popular order on opening day — the burritos, of course. (And I was told that on Saturdays and Sundays, they will serve all-day breakfast burritos for those who want them.)
Daily hours: 7 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.

    No line at 5 PM, and the burritos were as good as ever!
