Yay for Vegan Options
The quesadilla grande, nacho grande, mexcian salad, and tacos are items I often crave. Warning that the portions are large. I love that they deliver quickly, and have vegan options such as soy cheese. Their restaurant itself is like a bar- staurant full of young folks. I love their food, lots of fresh vegetables, the only vegan mexican food I know of that delivers.

so disappointed...
I don't usually write reviews, but felt compelled to write this. I tried blockheads for the first time this summer, and as a CA transplant was ecstatic that I finally found a decent burrito place in nyc. since that first time though, I have had two disappointing experiences. The second time I ordered pick-up. I had the chicken burrito with guac and sour cream; it was not good. My bf wanted burritos tonight, and after my warning about my last experience, he still convinced me to give blockheads one last chance. We ordered for delivery - an hour and a half later - no food. I called to check, and they said their computer froze and they couldnt get a hold of me. fine. so I re-ordered and again 45 mins later, had to call to ask where my food was. it finally came 10 mins later. the chips in my nachos were incredibly stale, there was hardly any chicken in the burrito and my order was wrong in terms of toppings. they didnt apologize for being late, and they couldnt even get the order right, or give me fresh chips. Sorry to say, that I will never order from here again.

They've killed their golden goose again
For many years, Blockheads has, or I should say, had the one of the best free-drinks brunch on week ends. But they've just jacked up the price of brunch to $9.95 plus $2 per refill for a glass of champagne, sangria or margarita. Prior to this, people had been quite willing to pay $7.95 for a so-so brunch as long as the drinks were free. But let's face it, it's the free drinks that attracted people, not the mediocre food that, taken on its own, has been overpriced all along. I think they've gone overboard now that they are in fact charging $2 per drink and I for one will be meeting friends for brunch elsewhere. Someone ought to explain to the folks at Block Heads the concept and the use of loss leaders! If they needed to raise their price for brunch, they could have done so without ending their unlimited drinks offer. And they would still have made a bundle of money from the vast majority of people who drink only two or three drinks during brunch - that amounts to less than a bottle of champagne of the kind that costs Block Heads no more than $2 0r $3 per bottle!

Looooove Blockheads
Blockheads is my favorite standby when I can't decide where to eat, and I prefer the Murray Hill location to that of Midtown (too small and cramped). It's always good, always cheap, and even though they don't take reservations, I've never waited more than half an hour for a table. (Even on New Year's Eve!) Sometimes the music can be too loud, but the servers are pretty accommodating if you ask them to turn it down. Besides, usually after a few $3 margaritas, I don't mind the noise! I've never tried delivery, but I plan on doing so soon.

Poor delivery service
I used to order from here all the time. They have completely messed up my last 3 orders... wrong food, 1 hr late...etc.

A burrito the size of my head
As I looked at the online menu I thought to myself "This better be a darn good burrito for the prices they're charging" and they did NOT disappoint. We ordered the Chicken Fajita burritos and they were absolutely delicious and yes, the size of my head. I thought for sure there was no way I could eat a burrito that big but it was so good I just kept eating and eating. Blockheads needs to come to Canada!

great meal any time
Burritos are big and very tasty. Easy to custom order and they are very helpful. Best part is the brunch, huge meals with all you can drink mimosas for a very reasonable price.
