    Golden burrito with shrimp and steak
    Juanna F.

    Ordered online the golden burrito with shrimp and steak and asked them to toast it when I got there in person because there wasn't a way to ask for it toasted on the website. My husband had a veggie burrito. I added more toppings. The pink sauce was nice and creamy and the green sauce was more refreshing like salsa verde. Our order came with chips. The meat was tender and had a different seasoning compared to standard burritos from Mexican restaurants. The afghan burrito is unique and I like how many toppings you can add for no extra cost. I might've added too many toppings because there was a lot going on in my burrito. The restaurant has outdoor seating and corn hole with a cool mural. There was a line forming when I picked up my order. Portion is generous and price is decent for what you get. I'd order from here again!

    I was excited to try Afghan Burrito since that sounds pretty unique but ultimately it was extremely disappointing. I ordered in person for a to go order and there was no line, but ended up having to wait almost 40 minutes to get my burrito. I had to check at the window after 35 mins and they completely forgot to make it. Finally got my chicken and steak burrito and took it home only to find out there was no steak in the burrito.. So I paid extra for something I didn't get and had my time wasted. On top of that I left a tip after ordering even though I did a to go order. Hate to leave a negative review because the food actually tasted quite good but this was a terrible experience.

    I have been wanting to try Afghan Burrito since undergrad and finally paid a visit recently! Lots of vegetarian options on the menu which I appreciated. You order at the window - we got one veggie burrito with pretty much all the toppings and it was ready within 10-15 minutes. Good amount of outdoor seating available Veggie Burrito (4/5): Generous portion size! I was stuffed after eating just a half. The sauces on the side gave the burrito a nice kick. That said, I would skip the nacho cheese next time as I felt like it overpowered the other flavors. More pico de gallo and sour cream would help make the burrito taste more fresh. We got normal rice so the burrito tasted more Mexican rather than Afghan Overall, the burrito was solid. I would come back and instead, either get it Afghan style with no nacho cheese or try the crunchwrap

    Steak Quesadilla

    Still a great spot to try something different. Their quesadillas remain one of my favorite things to order here.

    Steak taco with "Golden Sauce"
    Richard B.

    Right next to my auto mechanic in Berkeley. Opens at 11 and I've usually dropped of my car to pick up anotger day before they open. Today I stuck around thinking car would be ready earlier. After drowning in coffee at another place most of the morning I tried this place being next door and when car is ready it's a short walk. I think I may have been here years ago just for a coffee or something. Today was first time I've had food. 2 steak tacos with everything including "hot" hot sauce. This includes their signature "golden sauce". Not sure what it is. Prolly has roots in Afghan culinary. No matter it is very good. Excellent tacos. I also had a Topo Chico mineral water since everything else had sugar. There is water. Covered outdoor seating is really nice and indoor seating when weather is yuck. Music is upbeat. Just finished listening to "Another One bites the Dust". I think Rockwell is on now. Other items looked great with a blend of Afghan and Mexican flavors unite for something deliciously different. Next time I bring a car in I'll try something different. Sugar free ice tea would be a plus. Staff is nice, vibe is relaxed, music is up there and food distinctively different goodness.

    We ordered the Surf & Turf Burrito, Chicken Burrito, and Chicken Quesadillas. The food was good and came with chips. You can immediately tell it's not your typical "Mexican burrito" -- it definitely has a unique Mediterranean-Afghan flavor twist that makes it stand out. The bathroom is located in the back of the restaurant and was clean, and the kitchen area also looked neat and well-kept. Service was great! The guy helping us had a smile on his face the whole time and made us feel very welcome.

    Birria Tacos
    Maaz A.

    The food never disappoints here! Atmosphere is super nice for small and large settings, I always get their Crunchwrap and burrito bowls which are solid. Had Birria for the first time and they nailed it! Tender well spiced meat with generous portions!

    This review is for a delivery order-was my 2nd time eating at Afghan Burrito. This time I tried fried chicken burrito bowl. While I find the ingredients were fresh and delicious. I was expecting the fried chicken to be on top of the bowl, so I could w join the crunch of the chicken. The chicken was on top of the rice and under the guacamole and shredded cheese so it was soggy. Nevertheless the food was flavorful, but I think the location of the chicken would have made a big difference. Maybe I'll try again later...

    Golden Burrito
    Ajay K.

    Friendly staff, awesome outdoor location, and a loaded and flavorful burrito. What more can you ask for? The golden sauce is akin to a mild curry sauce and goes really well in a burrito. Portion size was also good. We'll be back to try more soon!

    Now I know!
    Kelley K.

    Where have you been all my life! This place is so cute! It's set up for fun, eith lots of outdoor sitting. The staff & owners are amazing! They are so talented, humble & helpful. The food is amazing! I highly recommend their burrito bowl, crunch wrap, green sauce & hot chai tea. All of their flavor profiles are incredible! I'm so glad I know about this place & really look forward to eating here the rest of my life! :)

    Mexican restaurant with Afghan infused flavors. No Jalapeno, taco spice and tarjins; instead yogurt buttery sauces, curry flavor etc. Service was quick decent with order delivery at the table. It's delicious with generous portions and value. Food a bit oily and heavy in nature so be mindful . Veggie options available. Location was really clean with indoor and outdoor seating. Big screen inside for events. Outdoor has gazebo like seating. Great for groups, kids, meetups, gathering. It's flat wide entry and accessible.

    Veggie nachos are barely even warm. Eating nachos that are almost cold is not pleasant!

    Hi! I've been so curious about your business tha I really want to try it. I am allergic to all grains so I would have to get your bowl option. Is it truly grain free? What's fajitas? I can eat corn tortillas made without flour.

    I think the bowl would be a good option! It comes loaded with veggies. Fajitas are roasted bell peppers. I eat my bowl with the corn chips. They're very accommodating so you should be able to enjoy it here 😊 I highly recommend this place!

    Where is the entrance for pickup?

    They only do curbside pickup & delivery - stop in front of the gate

Everything is pretty affordable, including generous servings of guac. It's a super chill, order at the counter style place, and would be great for games or a casual hangout dinner. The staff was incredibly accommodating and kind. Don't come here for Michelin quality food, though.

Both were excellent and paired very well with their salsa. Carne asada was cooked and cut perfectly, and tasted much better than when I had it in burritos in the past. Al pastor is very authentic and tastes better than most you can find in the area. Generous amount of onions (and some pineapple for the pastor). I really really enjoyed this, and I'm happy to have this option here in my neighborhood. Only negative is that their tortillas seem to collapse under the general sauciness. I usually prefer to have my salsa on the side, so maybe that's on me. Came out to about $15 for the three tacos which is pretty pricey. However, you do get some chips and salsa for free, and the quality of the food is pretty high. I'm reasonably happy to pay this price to support a nice establishment in my community. The place is clean and recently renovated, with a fairly friendly staff willing to accommodate customizations and requests. I will probably start coming here a lot more regularly after this most recent visit!

It has a unique menu, delicious food, and a trendy ambiance. Because she decided on this place the day of, she couldn't get a reservation but we showed up at 6 pm on a Thursday and had a table for five inside by 6:30. We waited at the bar and had drinks including a spectacular paloma-esque and local beer on tap. I can't have dairy but the chef made modifications on the duck enchiladas rojas. Everything was a flavor bomb in the best way except the duck had bones inside the enchiladas which made me think it was chicken thigh (looked the same). The rest of the guests loved their plates but we found the sizes of the plates odd. For example, the Mexican street corn was a huge plate of about 3 ears of corn but the tamal was just one tamal (for $15!) The service was very attentive despite a busy restaurant. They automatically charge a 20% service fee regardless of size of group. I appreciated that they didn't rush us out but I didn't like that they charged us for the birthday flan.
