“ I haven’t been here in a while,but El burrito never disappoints The mini taco plate that I ordered was very delicious. everything on the plate was fresh and delicious. Both of the salsas were delicious even the tea was GoodI WILL COME BACK. ”
“ Food is fantastic! The staff is good. The salsa is spicy and addicting. I wouldn't recommend the menudo because it has a funny taste to me but it's still ok, I still eat it with the Para La Cruda plate. They have great Mexican plates and the skillet plates are amazing with a lot of food! Piece of advice - always get an itemized receipt because on more than one occasion I was over charged. It hasn't happened in a while but it did happen so just like at the bar, get a receipt. Food wise, you will not be disappointed! Every time I go, the food is great! They also have karaoke nights and a party room. I highly recommend this for locals and tourists. Great Mexican food here ”
