Honestly it's a suburb burrito place that meets expectations. It's not going have meat as tasty as a spot off Federal, salsas as spicy and rich, or horchata that's not just straight from a powdered mix. It's a decent amount of food that approaches very good but falls short on authenticity. For an $11 breakfast burrito, I suppose I'll keep looking, or just head back to Federal read more

Very solid fast Mexican food for when you want something fast, no-frills, but delicious. The best part about burrito express is the homemade fresh tortillas they use on the burritos. They are some of my favorite in the Denver area. Their breakfast burritos are large and come with red and green salsas - I appreciate that they have the right amount of cheesiness. For lunch or dinner, I prefer the asada burrito but I'd recommend adding in refried beans. Always ask for extra red salsa on the side!! read more

I've been coming to burrito express for a long time now, and it's safe to say the quality has decreased in the past few years. Today my carnitas burrito had dry, almost hard meat in it. The carnitas weren't flavorful like usual. My tortilla was not fresh. The burritos are still nice and big and the salsa is tasty but $27 for two mid burritos is not worth it. read more

Have been meaning to try out Burrito Express and tonight was the night! There was only one car in front of me for the Drive Thru and I waited about 10 minutes from start to finish. Very quick and straight to the point service. They do charge an extra 3% for credit card use, but nothing for cash or debit. I ordered a Carne Asada and Adobada Burrito. Don't forget to ask for salsa too! To preface, I used to live in San Diego, so I do know my bias runs deep out here in Colorado. That being said, Burrito Express was pretty good. The burritos were flavorful and hot. The salsas (red and green) had a great spice level and smooth consistency for easy pouring. The only thing that brought them down for me would be that the guac was not fresh. It had that slightly brownish green color that would indicate it had been sitting for a bit and had a super smooth texture like the kind that comes out of a bag. Not ideal, but maybe that is how they keep their prices reasonable. Although, I would much prefer paying more for legitimate guac. Overall, I would try Burrito Express again to see how some of their other items are. It's a decent option if you've got a craving for Mexican Food around the area. read more

This uses to be one of my go to spots back in high school and for me to still come here every now and then is a testament to the taste and flavors of their food. Though they offer many different kinds of burritos and tacos, theor forte has always been their breakfast burritos. My favorite one that I have always ordered is the number 4 burrito, which includes steak, egg, chorizo and cheese. Everything is made fresh on the grill and the taste is great. Each burrito is served with a red or green sauce/salsa that greatly adds to the overall flavor. The staff at the restaurant has always been pleasant and nice and the inside is always clean and makes for a nice spot to grab a quick brunch or lunch. There are 2 reasons I give this place 3 stars. The first is it's name. Though it's called Burrito Express, if you're looking for express service and food to be delivered quickly to you, this has never been the place for that. It's always a little slow here. Secondly, I ordered 3 burritos, over 30 dollars in food, and when I went to pay with my credit card, I was charged an additional 3% surcharge for using a card because my order was too low in value. I find this extremely cheap of this restaurant, especially if $30 in food is too small of an order to have this waived. They did not used to do this either. This will definitely affect how often I come here moving forward. There are plenty of breakfast burrito places nearby that do not nickel and dime there customers like this with just as tasty of food read more

I've been coming to Burrito Express since they first opened, and it's still one of my favorite local spots! This little hole-in-the-wall has a nostalgic charm, and their burritos always hit the spot. It's so good that when I use to live in another state my first stop back home would have to be Burrito Express! All my friends could say the same! My go to is the chorizo breakfast burrito which has a perfect mix of chorizo, potatoes, eggs, and cheese. It's flavorful, filling, and wrapped in their incredible house made tortilla that really sets them apart from most! I also love the simplicity of their bean and cheese burrito. Sometimes I have to get both and save my leftovers for another meal! The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the prices have gone up significantly over the years, and the recipe seems to have changed just a bit. It's still good, but longtime regulars will notice a difference. Burrito Express holds a special place in my heart (and stomach), and I'll keep coming back as long as they're around. read more

I read a bunch of stellar reviews about the breakfast burritos here - even claims that they were the best in Denver - and have been wanting to try one for a while. I got the chorizo burrito. It was huge. I ate on it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But it was sadly mediocre. kind of a strange consistency that made everything the same mush with no definition of the individual ingredients. A-OK 3 star burrito. read more

This used to be one of my favorite spots and I will occasionally eat out here. The prices have increased so incredibly high to where it's not even worth it anymore. It's really unfortunate. read more

Some of the reviews here may be older, but this spot is killing right now. New menu with sushi burritos, ramen, and all different bowls. Everything tastes amazing and the service is great. Green mtn needs this spot! read more

I ordered my food in spanish, and the owner made me repeat myself until i said it in "english", and had to audacity to ask for a tip at the drive thru. Im MEXICAN, began ordering in spanish as i always do at a MEXICAN restaurant, and the man clearly had a thick accent so whats up? tortuh orchatuh carney asaduh fries is that how u want me to say it nothing special about this place, prices are embarrassing actually. read more

Service is awful if you can even get anyone to acknowledge you. The food is very average and not worth what they are charging.

Carne Asada Burrito + Sour Cream + French Fries = California Burrito. This place is great. Come here a couple times a month for the bean burrito and cali burrito. Is getting more expensive but the food is great so I think it's worth it. read more

This used to be the best place for burritos and carne asada fries and they've gone down hill. Multiple times I have had guacamole that tastes like fish. I have been very disappointed with the last few visits and the quality of food. I will no longer be a customer. read more

One of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had, and I wish I was exaggerating. I ordered two cheese enchiladas -nothing wild-and they somehow forgot my order entirely. I waited over 30 minutes during my lunch break just for them to hand me a cold, disappointing mess. They also tried to charge me twice for a $3.50 small soda, like I wouldn't notice being scammed for a Dixie cup of sugar water. And when the enchiladas finally arrived? The cheese inside wasn't even melted. Just a sad, rubbery, lukewarm tortilla blanket with shredded cheese hiding inside like it was afraid of heat. Took two bites and trashed the whole thing. Waste of $10. I ended up skipping lunch completely. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place unless you enjoy wasting time, money, and taste buds. Burrito Express? More like Burrito Regress. read more

Use to come here all the time, but something changed over last year. Prices up, quality is down. Hate that now they confront you with DO YOU WANNA TIP, very uncomfortable. Food below what is expected, no ambiance, service is someone handing u food. I don't think I will make the drive anymore. read more

Food quality has gone down over the years got a breakfast burrito with sausage hardly any sausage ! eggs are overcooked and super salty ! same with beef burritos also the chick with the mullet that works nights doesn't know how to do math overcharged me read more

Horrible service. The lady that takes orders here is not good. I've eaten here twice and they've screwed up my order both times. I will never come back. I just ordered a smothered burrito with beans and rice and they gave me a regular burrito with a side of fries for $16. I asked her about it she just stares at me, and doesn't even offer to fix the problem. read more

Ordered take out. This was for a birthday celebration. They have always been great food. Large portions, and tasty. Unfortunately tonight was pretty awful . 2 of the 4 entrees were unedible. The carne asada burrito, and the beef enchiladas. The tacos were good, but the cheese enchiladas tasted like a day old leftover. Almost $50.00 pretty much wasted. read more

Very good food, spicy, flavorful and good portion size, leftovers!!!!! Would definitely eat here again and recommend to anyone read more

A friend of mine texted me on my way to work to get a burrito for him and since it's kind of on my way, I obliged. I used to eat here frequently during lunch but I can't eat Mexican to include Taco Bell without breaking out in hives. I can't afford the $15 per food allergy to find out what exactly so I just avoid it. The food is bomb and service is never slow. It's tucked away into a non-descript strip mall on Alameda. I have never been here without a line and there are tons of Mexican places to choose from in the area. Although they specialize in burritos, they do have a few other options as well but I only ever ate a shrimp burrito. read more

This place is the CATS MEOW. Look no further than Burrito Express for the best Mexican food I've had in Denver!

My daughter decided on dinner on Monday, I'd never been here but we were both feeling Mexican. I got a chicharrones and bean burrito. Home made tortillas, and the beans were super good, the chicharrones were good as hell. So on the way into work today just two days later I'm pulling up for a breakfast burrito. I got the egg and potato. So good. Glad I found it. I'll be a regular for sure. Really proper. read more

Jumping in today to celebrate Thankful Thursday with Yelp and remembering way back when... when we stumbled across Burrito Express just after moving to this area. Ok, ok, stumbled across is actually far from the truth. We yelp literally everything and typically filter results by rating. So, maybe it's more accurate to say our fellow Yelpers heralded us to Burrito Express, haha! In five years, we have yet to have a bad meal here. We have our go-to orders, in total transparency and haven't strayed too far from our short list - because, why? LOL. The short list: any enchilada, but our favorite is their spicy chicken with green sauce (not the normal red sauce, ask specifically for this substitution), their breakfast burritos and for me, their guac tostadas when I'm not hungry enough for the enchiladas. We will be back again and again. We literally get take out at least once a week. COVID sucks, but eating well and cheap, priceless. We heart you Burrito Express and you'll see our smiling eyes soon (see what I did there - smiling eyes, b/c masks, yo!). read more

It's probably my own fault for ordering tacos from a place called Burrito Express, but damn these were disappointing tacos. After an event right around the corner, I hauled tail over to Burrito Express. Partly due a few folks recommending this place for their good food, cheap prices, and the fact they boast a drive thru. It was snowing, and even though they weren't busy, they were still open. Three tacos at $3.15 each: Carne Asada, Carnitas, Grilled Chicken. After paying and receiving my order, I checked the box and it looked fine. The portions are definitely worth the sticker price, because they loaded these tacos up with all the fixings. I got home, sat at the kitchen table and dove in. Look, there are way worse things that could happen in life than subpar food. I was just so hungry after a long night that it made these tacos all the more disappointing. They were bland as could be. The Carnitas was by far the superior taco, while the Asada and Chicken had zero flavor. Reading reviews shows that some people are very fond of this place. Some praising their "homemade tortillas." I've had my fair share of tacos in my day, nothing about these had a homemade essence to it. Off night? Bad timing on my part? Did I order the wrong food? Ugh. At least they're open for breakfast and late night. read more

Y'all sleep on this place, I work @ the Starbucks near by and this is THE SPOT. The carne asada Quesadilla is amazing and the carne asada fries 10/10 every time, the burritos also bomb- and the staff is very friendly even when busy. This place rocks in my personal opinion. Quick, and delicious. Deserves the hype I'm j read more

Burrito Express - Carne Asada Fries 10000/10 - Mexican Near Me - Lakewood, Colorado

For a quick dose of Mexican food, this "fast-food" establishment is a good option. The prices are inexpensive, food is good, and prepared relatively quickly. There's also a nice touch of Mexican influenced mural wall art inside. We ordered the 2 Taco Plate and a Guacamole Tostada. Both items delivered a solid and quick Mexican lunch option. Although, the guacamole was good, it was straight out of the fridge. As was the lettuce, so keep that in mind if you are looking for a warm food option. The beans accompanying the Tacos were good, so a Bean Tostada may be the way to go. read more

After reading the reviews I was weary about coming here. I definitely made a mistake by choosing to grab dinner there after getting a very low quality combo plate that cost $12. The service was alright but after being handed the clipboard to leave a tip in the drive thru, I realized there was nothing I should be tipping for! The pulled beef/steak burrito combo is NOT GOOD. Will not be back. Should have got Wendy's. read more

I always forget to take pictures of my food from here. Food is always good my go to is carne asada fries, so good! The owner is always at the window taking orders, I've never been inside always to go. The carne Asada fries are so good lots of fries lots of meat and cheese. I'd have to say it's one of my favorite little Mexican joints since moving to Colorado. read more

Delicious, affordable, friendly, fast. This is the adobada burrito (marinated pork/pico/guacamole) very good! Less than $7. Food came a little slow but that's because I was starving! It was hot and fresh and better than any Chipotle. Burrito got a little salty after awhile (the marinate), so might be better w some rice or potatoes inside. Overall, great experience/great art on the wall. Always looking for some good culture especially in Lakewood - this was one good place for that! read more

Hands down the best bean and cheese burritos in Denver! I've been coming here for a few years now and the food is consistently incredible. The staff is friendly, their hours are reliable, and the food is out of this world. My whole family loves this place! We drive an hour round trip just to get burritos for dinner at least once a week. We've taken food to go and eaten in their restaurant and you can't go wrong. The restaurant is also always very clean which I appreciate! read more

I will NEVER eat here again . read more

So Iv been here about 5 times and Iv tried a good amount of the burritos the favorite was the chorizo and steak which was so good but slowly this places quality lowered and tonight was the all time low. I asked for a steak and chorizo burrito. I had a rough day and just really wanted to better it with a burrito. They ended up giving me a tiny bit of chorizo with a ton of eggs and obviously this is them trying to save a buck but come on guys this is just pitiful. Anyways it was the worst burrito Iv ever had and I ended up throwing it away what a waste. It was dry, overly salty and just stuffed with cheap egg. read more
