Went with a group of four in last hour of service. Friendly and welcoming staff. Attentive. Great food. Some fun options (like the giant taco). Highly recommended. read more

I met my best friend here, but the experience started off poorly since we weren't greeted and I had to get the host's attention while they were on their phone. I requested a table for two in a quieter area near the window. The food was actually good--I'd rate the tacos about a 4.5 out of 5--and the margarita was okay but a bit too sweet and not very strong. However, the restaurant had a strong unpleasant odor, like urine or old carpet, which made it hard to enjoy the meal and really affected the experience. I spent about $60 total, but because of the smell and overall atmosphere, I wouldn't come back. read more

Meals are always better eaten at the restaurant than take-out. The quality and consistency that Burnt Tortilla serves up along with the friendly service, makes for a comfortable casual atmosphere. Every time I order something that's not a cheese enchilada, I will order one on the side. Their cheese enchilada is the best. *pro tip- take your chips and scoop up the extra cheese and enchilada sauce from your enchilada, it's the best. I also do this with my taquitos. read more

Best Nacho's in Gardena! I've been coming to Burnt Tortilla for years! I first went to the original spot on Redondo Beach & Western, then started going to the Artesia location, and I've even picked up from their takeout spot a couple of times. No matter which one, the food is always solid. This place is definitely one of those hidden gems you probably drive by all the time without realizing how good it is. I usually stick with my go-to: the Ground Beef Nachos. My wife gets the Vegetarian Nachos, and both are super tasty. The sauce isn't watery, the beans and rice are seasoned just right, and the portions are generous. Service is always friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. Overall, Burnt Tortilla is just one of those reliable spots you can count on for good food and good vibes. read more

Been months since we have eaten here. Decided to try and get no added salt to our dinners. I ordered the carnitas dinner and asked for no added salt added, and my wife ordered the chile relleno and shredded beef taco combination. Thankfully the chips and salsa wasn't overly salty. Our dinners also didnt taste overly salty. We paired our meals with a glass of Modelo draft beer. The chile relleno was outstsnding, while my carnitas was good, not outstanding. read more

The waiters did not know what was the difference between lard and other oils. They stated they only use refried beans with lard out of a can. They stated they used whole black beans but only on the salad and a few. They didn't have any just vegetarian choices. They didn't have any choices to change items if you didn't eat meat. The waiters were friendly. The place looked ok but not where I want to eat. I felt sad because I didn't eat the food. It didn't look appealing to me. I will not back again. The ambiance was ok. read more

We went to the burnt tortilla got our food my friend said there's a hair in my food end of story check your food before you go here

I've been coming to BT for years. The food and service is consistently on point. This visit I ordered the #6 combo Chicken Enchilada with a shredded beef taco. First order of business is the house margaritas. Our server immediately brought fresh chips and salsa. I love the chips and salsa. The salsa is perfectly fresh tasting with some kick. The food is always served piping hot, the way all food should be served. I love how crunchy and crispy the tacos are served and are served generously with meat, lettuce and cheese. The enchiladas are always the bomb. And love the rice and beans. Our server was always attentive asking if we needed more chips and salsa. If you're looking for great Mexican food, look no further. Burnt Tortilla is the place. Service attentive and friendly. Plenty of parking. Deserves a 5 star Yelp salute! read more

I'm sitting at the bar trying to enjoy my meal on Cinco De Mayo. Sooo the waiters keep bringing dirty glasses to the bar. The bar tender is not taking them but they are piling up in front of me!!! Knats flying etc. I have to not only ask them to take my dirty dishes but also to take the ones the waiters are sitting in front of me!!! I ordered another drink because I planned to have an enjoyable evening and watch the first part of the game. Had to leave. I used to really like this place! read more

I love this spot. I try to hit this spot when I'm back in California. They also have a cash only walk in spot next door.

This business has been around for a long time and has always been very good. Unfortunately, like a lot of other restaurants, after the pandemic it seems like they may have changed cooks. My one biggest issue is that the food has gotten a lot saltier to the point where I have to drink lots of water for the rest of the day. We just did a take-out order last week. Still the same overly salted food and their prices are a bit insane now, especially.....$8.50 FOR A SIDE ORDER OF FRIES! Are you kidding me??? There's no way to justify inflated prices like that for fried potatoes. Burnt Tortilla is officially off of our list indefinitely. read more

First time there was great! Multiple TV's with different sports so you can watch your teams football, soccer, and/or basketball game. The food was excellent. I had the best server. Check out the cheese pull on these enchiladas. read more

Amazing first time experience at the Burnt Tortilla. To be honest I wasn't expecting much but was very impressed with the service and the volume of food. Couldn't believe how big the plate was and how flavorful it was. I ordered a crunchy beef taco and a chicken enchilada. Ambiance wasn't amazing but it didn't bother me.

Ambiance was good. Found a table quickly. Parking was easy. We ordered Albóndigas soup which needed more flavor in my opinion, beef tostada salad was big and tasty. I'd say it's good for two. Taquitos were ok. Waiter very attentive and cordial. We ordered margaritas and they were great! read more

I did not like the Burrito. It is my belief that if a restaurant cannot produce a good burrito it says a lot on the effort they put in their cooking. A burrito is a simple recipe but it requires taste. What good does it do getting a big fat burrito when the taste in the meat and salsa is not there and you throw away most of it. Not returning for a burrito again. read more

I was visiting a family member who doesn't live far from Burnt Tortilla, so we stopped in for lunch. I had the steak tacos and they were excellent. I liked the rice and beans as well. My sister had the ground beef tacos, which she didn't like at all. She also didn't really like the rice or beans. My cousin had a taco and a burrito if I recall correctly. Burnt Tortilla is one of her favorite places, so she obviously enjoyed her food. Our server was pleasant, and the restaurant was clean. The vibe was relaxed and comfortable. I'd visit Burnt Tortilla again if the opportunity presented itself. read more

Burnt Tortilla - This is the combination plate with a chunky beef enchilada and a chicken taco - Mexican Near Me - Gardena, California

Best place for carnitas. They were originally on van ness and Vermonter but they moved a while ago.

I've been going to Burnt Tortilla for many years, dating back to the late 1970's, mostly for family gatherings or with a friend and his family. This review is for the in-restaurant dining, not the Burnt Tortilla Takeout which isn't always the most friendliest place to take out any food. The food is always tasty and satisfying. The waiters, a couple of them have been working at Burnt Tortilla for as long as I can remember, are friendly and helpful. I usually arrive around the time the restaurant opens, so no waiting for a table. Parking spaces are usually easy to find, especially a handicap parking spot(there's only two); however, if you arrive later in the day, parking spaces are not always available. Menu hasn't changed, as far as I can tell(except for the prices). read more

I used to go to the one on Artesia Blvd., which now houses a Chase bank. I started going less after that location closed. My favorite dish was the potato burrito. It has a green sauce with ground beef and chopped potato and tastes spicy. I was craving this special burrito, so I went with my family last Friday night. There's a sports bar to the left, and the dining tables are to the right. The place was not too packed, and we got seated right away. It took quite a while for our server to come to us. By the time we were ready to birder, we called the server to come. We were glad that he had our drink ordered once he came over, and water and chips were served. So, the potato burrito disappointed me a little bit. The portion was smaller (sort of understandable since I have not been here for years), the size of the potatoes varied, some of them were too big, like two dice, and the sauce was too salty. The fish tacos were good. A big chunk of fish steak freshly sat between the tortillas, with a crunchy thin shell and tender fish meat inside. The quesadillas were satisfying. The tortillas were prepared at the perfect temperature and had a good texture to match the melting cheese inside. The asada fajita was okay. Seasoning-wise, it was good, but the beef was overcooked. The texture was tough and a little bit on the dry side. Overall, coming back after all these years was an okay experience. I might come back again and try one more time. read more

Even though my daughter and I moved to Texas last December home for us will always be California and one thing I crave most is good Mexican food. So when we come to visit I have to order from the Burnt Tortilla since my family and I love their food! This time I ordered for my family and I got the two Chicken Tacos meal and it comes with rice and beans. My daughter got the two Cheese Enchilada plate with rice and beans. I also got a thing of chips and salsa on the side. I am never disappointed with any of the food that I get from this restaurant and it is a local fave for a reason!

Before burritos made their appearance and became a So Cal staple, my maman was making me and my little sis epic burritos almost daily. And to say hers were masterpieces is an understatement because hers were better than most anything you can get today. When I learned to create my own burrito extravaganzas, there were too many times I took my eye off the tortilla that sat upon the burner. I invariably burned my share of tortillas and to this day, I almost don't enjoy eating a burrito unless the tortilla is yes, a little bit charred. I like to think I was destined for Burnt Tortilla. On this our first visit to Burnt Tortilla, there were no burnt tortillas and truthfully, nothing else was burnt either. No complaints here. Tonight we enjoyed super delicious salsa with a nice spicy kick, I think we asked for salsa refills ay least 4 times. Chile rellenos, green enchiladas, crunchy shredded beef tacos and a pork tamale were all wonderfully delicious...so delicious in fact, we can't wait until our next visit. Service was superb. Margaritas were flowing - never had to wonder or wait for them to arrive. Chips were piping hot and tasty too....and gosh darn it their salsa really is good. We typically have to ask for extra hot salsa to kick up our meals (and palates), but not today as today's batch was muy caliente. Olé! Loads of parking - just make your way through the small lot when you first pull in and head straight back. The restaurant is huge and I imagine it gets festive and busy so keep that in mind if you arrive at prime weekend dinner hours. Friendly, efficient service...our jovial servers even boasted how they made our margaritas "100% fantastic"! You'll enjoy the prices too...always welcome when the check arrives and you're pleasantly surprised you don't have to hand over your 1st born as payment. I don't have a first born, but you get my drift, especially these days. We enjoyed the attention and thanked the team for making our first time memorable, fun and delicious. read more

I haven't been inside of here in Forever!!!!!! The service was great. Our waiter was very attentive and our food was great. I believe we stopped in for an early lunch, so it wasn't busy at all. I'm almost positive it was a Tuesday, which we all know, is a closed day for to-go. The vibe is very chill and because the booths are very high, it feels pretty private, I think...... oh geez, I may be getting this wrong, however, I'm almost positive I'm correct. Stop in if ya haven't, it's nice to have the chips and salsa. I forgot to take pictures, so next time, promise. read more

Prices getting higher but quality somewhat remains consistent. Still my go-to for Mexican. Drinks are high now ($9) but strong. They used to be like $5 for happy hour. And there is no more happy hour Service is still outstanding! Lots of tables both at bar and restaurant. Also beware - they do charge for EVERYTHING so if you order extra sauce , it will be charged to you. read more
