    El Burrito Loco restaurant was nice. I placed a to go order. I think their pricing is a little high for some items such as tacos are $8.99 (I believe ground beef & chicken) or $9.99 (build your own, like for steak) for only three tacos and no sides come with it. That's $2.99 or $3.33 respectively for one taco. They are authentic, fresh made, quality ingredients and taste good. I also got the fajitas, which were also good. I'll probably go back because of the high quality and my family enjoyed it as well. Lastly, I had a hard time finding the menu online, so I'm adding menu pics to be of help to others.

    I use to frequent this restaurant 7 years ago and was glad to see it survived the pandemic. On my recent visit I noticed the menu was updated and decided to get the chicken, steak, shrimp burrito vs the usual chicken, steak, shrimp fajitas I would get. It was good, but nothing particularly special. The little side of guac on the lettuce seemed dark and not as fresh as I would've liked. The complimentary chips lack salt, but that's probably best for my health. The accompanying salsa is average, but complimentary. Service is great and food came out very quickly. The inside decor is neat as they have many plants including vines traversing the ceiling and is clean. I've never ordered an alcoholic drink here so I cannot comment on their margaritas. Overall it's a good Mexican restaurant and hits most of the marks I'm looking for when I want to dine in and get a quick burrito or fajita and leave full with potential leftovers without breaking the bank.

    I'm a big fan of this place. I've only been here for lunch, but I've liked it every time. The taquitos were very good the times I had them. Yesterday when I went I had the beef chimi- also very good. My mom got the same thing and liked it a lot. Yes, I had lunch with my mom. I try to be a good son but she wishes she could see me more. What does that have to do with this restaurant? Nothing obviously. But it's my review and I can do what I want. 😀

    A comfortable, clean atmosphere with friendly and prompt service. Hands down one of the best restaurants around. The food was fresh and delicious! The margaritas are also excellent. We look forward to returning!

    1st time here. The atmosphere is exactly what you would expect for the location. Clean, open, mariachi music from overhead with a friendly and attentive staff. The chips were on the chewy side however the fresh cilantro in the salsa was welcome (first round of chips and salsa are on the house). My heart sank a little when the order of poblanos rancheros was on my table in less than 5 minutes of ordering swimming in a watery sauce. To my surprise, the flavor was delicious and on point. I can only imagine that freshly made, these would be fantastic. I may be back but will probably try another dish.

    Amazing food with options for all and excellent consideration for those with allergies! I was missing my foodie destinations in Portland Oregon and the lovely accommodations provided to those with a severe dairy allergy when all of a sudden… (trumpeting sound) El Burrito to the rescue!! The cheese enthusiast, pescatarian, carnivore, and miss “Dairy will kill me” walk into a restaurant… and we were ALL very impressed and beyond satisfied! Very attentive and friendly staff followed all allergen protocol precautions, healthy Mexican American sized portions, delicious drinks and well seasoned meat apparently. Two enthusiastic thumbs up! Great family fun!

    Went back to this place after not having gone there in a long time and was reminded why I used to like it. We consider ourselves to be margarita snobs and like a freshly made marg with good tequila and fresh juices and when we asked our server for a certain tequila that was on their menu we saw that she literally climbed up to the top shelf to get our tequila down for the bartender. The drinks were refreshing and not excessively tart and sour like bottled margarita mix. My wife ordered the fajita burrito and I got the burrito loco, they were both delicious! We are definitely putting this place back on the top of our list of favorite Mexican restaurants.

    Great atmosphere, clean restaurant, great decor, friendly staff. Bathrooms are nicely kept and clean. Fully stocked bar with television. Lots of lunch specials and daily dinner specials. Good is average, but very very highly priced to other authentic Mexican restaurants.

    Food was delicious. Nice place, nice people. Service was a little bit slow but an overall good experience.

    I had dinner here with family from out of town. The food was good, but the noise level was pretty high.

  • 1/5 Peter M. 8 months ago on Google
    It’s crazy to charge $8 for a side of beans and rice. Portions were about a half a cup of each. At least give a generous portion if your going to charge that for something that is $.50 at cost. Food is inedible. Tacos are swimming in grease. Would love my money back..
