Check out TimeOut New York’s Review of Burrito Bar and Kitchen:

It is comforting to know that you can order something called “8 Miles High Nachos,” and eat something that’s as delicious as it is big.

In this case, it’s enough blue-corn tortilla chips, guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo, melted cheese, shredded chicken and black beans to feed a family of four.

Chunky guacamole comes with spiced crispy plantain chips, and cactus juice margaritas make it all go down easy.

The decor extends beyond standard Tex-Mex too — exposed brick, pressed-tin walls and vibrant yellow, turquoise and violet highlights make for a stylish yet lively atmosphere. Smiling DJs add to the fun.

Burrito Bar and Kitchen is celebrating the grand opening of a new private dining lounge, “Marguerita Lounge.” The decor, the music and the lighting create a perfect private feel of an upscale lounge at 307 Flatbush Avenue, corner of Prospect Place.

Marguerita Lounge has emerged with a new theme and vibe while still maintaining the same quality service and food you expect from the Burrito Bar and Kitchen. With an extensive menu of drinks and delights, it is private from the main dining area.

The atmosphere is perfect for either a relaxing hippy hour with your friends or a late night birthday party, host your company event, plan that perfect quiet dinner or invite 25 of your closest amigos to view a sports event in one of the giant plasma screen TVs. Let loose in the lounge, this is an ideal atmosphere to suit any mood. Bring your own music, DVDs, or even a DJ.

If you are looking for a new intimate dining experience, check out the new Marguerita Lounge. For reservations, call 718.230.8646.

Hours are Sunday through Thursday, 11:30 am to midnight, and Friday and Saturday, 11:30 am to 2:00 am.

Check out clubplanet.com’s review of Burrito Bar:

After a successful 13-year run in Tribeca, Burrito Bar and Kitchen has found a new home in Park Slope. In an area known for its eclectic mix of bars and eateries, this hippie-themed Mexican restaurant has no other choice but to fit in amid the crowd. The décor is a mixture of hippie madness and Mexican culture, with rotating star lamps and beads surrounding strategically placed sombreros. Staying true to the ambiance, the menu is full of throwback mentions to the beatnik era (Yoko Ono’s Favorite Healthy Smoothie anyone?). Enjoy Hippie Hour from 5-7pm when select drinks are half price and the bar’s flat screen airs your favorite game. For those who had too much at hippie hour, stumble in for weekend brunch to nurse that hangover with two cocktails and a healthy meal for only $14.95. And if all you’re in the mood for is a family-friendly weekend, bring your flower children. A side entrance with a ramp is only two feet away and the hostess will likely be by your side in seconds. If sombrero-wearing hippies are your cup of Mojitos, then you’ve come to the right place.
