Welcome To Taco Chulo
After a few discouraging responses, one foodie directed me towards Taco Chulo in Williamsburg, Brooklyn (Map).
Despite what it says on their website, the walk is anything but short from the Bedford Ave. stop on the L train.
Also, it's a restaurant, not a burrito shop.

The place to go for authentic & cheap Mexican is Matamoros (on Bedford right by the L). Matamoros is a Mexican grocery with a food stand in the back. It sucks that you missed out on that experience. There's also Vera Cruz, right next to Matamoros, but not cheap (not overly pricey, but not cheap the way Matamoros is). Which foodies were you talking to?

I second the matamoros recommendation, but don't know if I'd endorse Vera Cruz...they've got a good bar for happy hour margaritas, but the food is a little nouveau (goat cheese and shitake mushroom enchiladas, etc.) One of my faves in Manhattan for cheap, satisfying mex-american food is Paquitos. You can order at the counter and eat in, or there's a sit-down restaurant area in the 1st. ave. & St. Marks location.
