The 'best burritos' in Los Angeles are coming to Lafayette Street this fall

Signage is up for Wake and Late at 372 Lafayette between Bond and Great Jones.

 

The Los Angeles-based Wake and Late "specializes in the best burritos for breakfast and lunch, and specialty coffee." 

A fall opening is expected in this space, which housed Honeybrains, which offered "brain-healthy meals and juices" here until its February closing. 

Meanwhile, next door, high-end Mexican restaurant Atla closed after service on Sunday, following 10 years on the corner. 

A new concept from Chef Enrique Olvera is expected here in the fall.

As Tasting Table first reported in April, chef Enrique Olvera is opening a casual Mexican restaurant in the corner spot. Olvera, who Eater calls "one of the world's great chefs," also operates the well-regarded Cosme on East 21st Street and Pujol in Mexico City.

Atla is expected to be open by the end of the year.
