Brooklyn Burrito Spot Ursula Opens New Bed Stuy Location

BED STUY, NY — Look out, Bed Stuy, there's a new burrito in town.

Beloved Crown Heights burrito and pastry shop Ursula opened Wednesday at its new location in Bed Stuy on Nostrand Avenue and Madison Street.

Early diners took to social media to rave about the restaurant's burritos, creative cocktails and funky mirror-tiled bathroom reminiscent of a disco ball.

"This will quickly become a new neighborhood favorite," one opening day patron said in an Instagram story.

The New Mexican-inspired cafe carved a space for itself in the Brooklyn dining scene with its of chorizo, bacon and vegan bean breakfast burritos. Now, the eatery is dabbling with dinner service and serving up creative cocktails featuring sustainable and equity-focused brands.

With a full dinner menu on its way, Ursula is already serving a limited soft-open dinner menu featuring taquitos, vegan nachos, chips and three salsas and a couple other light bites.

On the cocktail list, standouts include a rose-flavored drink called the "Angels on Your Pillow" featuring rum from Black-owned brand Ten To One.

The "D.D.D.I.T.T.," or "Dance, Dance, Dance It's A Teen Thing," is a spicy margarita with hibiscus and prickly pear inspired by a 90s-era televised dance party at a water park in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The "D.D.D.I.T." uses woman-owned and operated tequila company La Gritona, which employs women at every step of production, according to Ursula's website.

Ursula opened the Bed Stuy location with the help of its Brooklyn friends — who crowdsourced over $25,000 to help the eatery with its move.
