Review: Burrito Express Burrito Express delivers on both flavor and portion size with plentiful, delicious burritos. The service is exceptionally amicable; Jennifer and Lucero did a fantastic job making us feel welcomed and stayed attentive to our needs throughout the meal. The only drawback is that they don't serve chips and salsa, but the quality of the main course makes it well worth the visit. read more

Been here several times due to convenience of the location but there are much better Mexican restaurants and food trucks in Chicagoland. Steak is always overcooked. Avocados are not fresh, they have the brown color of rotting avocados. Last straw was I went there today and ordered a 3 tostada dinner but when I got home I discovered that I had one gotta instead. Even if I did tortas, this one was awful. That will be the last time I throw $15 at them. I'm infuriated. read more

A few things, this is the nearest Mexican restaurant to my workplace so I gave them a few tries. The food is very underwhelming to the point of being kinda gross. Nothing authentic about this place. Most of the time it upsets my stomach and shoots out my butt as a liquid. Also the owner wants you to pay in valid US currency but refuses to serve valid US employees. Says so right on the door. Avoid this anti-american establishment at all costs. read more

Customer service is horrible. They have the nerve to be cheap with the salsa. If your not going during lunch hours your quality of food will be horrible. I ordered four steak tacos and they were burnt. They do not care to provide quality or good customer service at all. read more

Check your receipts, they show a price on the menu, but they charge you more, that's why they don't have printed menus, so they can keep raising their prices, the menu prices online are all wrong, and the tortas are all bread, I have had way better Mexican food elsewhere!! read more

Decided to try burrito express yesterday cause I kept hearing they had decent food. I ordered 2 large horchatas and 2 steak taco dinners. One dinner had cilantro, lettuce, no tomato, and onion on the side with rice(bad) and beans on the side. The other contained cilantro,no lettuce,no tomatoes and onion with rice(bad) and beans on the side. I enjoyed the tacos and beans. However, the rice was horrible. It tasted spoiled and came back up immediately (noted I ordered my food approximately around 7:50-8pm and ate on my break at 10pm and kept it refrigerated at my job) I work graveyard shifts so go back that night was impossible and I knew I had to put something on my stomach so I ate the tacos and beans ONLY! And soon as I woke up I called them and had trouble even getting a hold of a manager as they didn't want to speak with me only relayed messages. I called to let them know my entire experience and ask to be refunded for the rice portions or for new rice as neither had been eaten and I even kept them as prove for the restaurant but was told since I didn't have the physical receipt they couldn't and wouldn't do anything about it. And my proof of purchase wasn't enough. They didn't apologize or anything and no accommodation! I was just knowing that I paid for two dinners to only receive one side for both. read more

My family and I have eaten here for over 5 yrs which is sad that I'm making this review. I don't know if it's the pandemic, shortages, etc but the food, the steak, specifically has recently made me and my husband sick for two days. This is actually the 3rd time in the last 7 months that their food made us sick. My husband had a steak chimichanga and I had steak flautas. I thought it tasted slightly bitter but kept eating like a dummy. I don't even know if it was beef. I am officially done with this business. I will never eat here again and they probably should be reported. It's a shame that they would harm customers in order to prosper. read more

The food has always been just okay depending on what you get the American food not so much but the owner and its staff have a horrible attitude and unwilling to fix mistakes done by their staff even when admitting a mistake has been done. Five more min up the road there's a better Mexican restaurant called cerro grande more authentic and better quality. read more

I pass by frequently and checked the Yelp reviews. One thing that seemed to be consistent were the flavorful steak tacos sooooo...since I'm always in search of a good steak taco, I decided to stop. Not the best I've had, but definitely the best I've had in the south suburbs and I've tried them all. Now I'm only speaking on the taco because that's all I tried. I will definitely return for the tacos. If i spread my wings and venture out, I'll let ya know. As for the service it was very matter of fact. Not very welcoming but if you give me good food without insulting me, you can save the niceties for your dine in customers. read more

Burrito Express - Steak taco - Mexican Near Me - Lansing, Illinois

I ordered the chicken chimichanga burrito suiza. Got home, ready to eat, opened it and NO cheese on top, that I paid for! I called and the young lady gave an apology and asked if I wanted to come back. I said "no". The chicken had no flavor! It was really bland! IF I decide to go back again, I will try something different AND check my order before leaving! read more

Legitimately poisoned. I expect some intestinal issues with a burrito but not like today. Going down, it didnt even taste right. More bland than anything. Ate 3/4 of it, wrapped it up and finished the rest 20 mins later because Im a fat kid but the intestinal problems came pretty quick and climaxed in the evening. I wont be returning and they should be inspected. read more

I made the mistake of visiting this restaurant at about 8 o'clock because I didn't feel like cooking. My order was simple I just wanted to leave tacos on a flower shell for my son. I had to visit this restaurant three times to get my simple order correct. First time they gave me corn shells I went back the second time they gave me corn shells with all the toppings had to go back again. My last visit, the girl said she gave me the wrong order by mistake! Of the three times I had to return, they didn't offer ANYTHING for the inconvenience, except a mumbled sorry. I WILL NEVER, EVER spend $1 here. $3.50 for a mediocre street taco is too expensive for the piss poor way they treat some customers. Wish I could rate 0 stars read more

Do not let this place fool you by its name. This is one of my top 5 taco stops ever. At first was questionable about this place and coming from Chicago "Capital for taco's" I was told by my wife that I have to try this place and man she was right. These taco's have so much flavor. Meat has the perfect seasoning were it's not over powering the flavor of the meat. Every bite you take, the meat is so tender that it melts in your mouth and the freshness of the toppings complements the toco's very well. The only 1 thing I can say is to dini-in when you get these taco's because you can taste the difference when you get it to go. But the steak taco's are a must try and their Salas are very good. Pro: Steak Taco's Con: The Taco's is alittle to oily read more

You won't be disappointed! I'm a huge fan of their taco salad & quesadillas Soooo good!

Bad Service gave me french fries instead of rice and beans then gave me an attitude they should be shut down I heard the boss in the background talking crap for no reason bad business bad for Lansing how are you I only gave him one because I had to read more

We love the steak tacos, chips and salsa and burritos. Great menu, yummy salsas and great, consistent quality. One day will further explore the menu, but for now, we are staying with our regular items. Friendly service and easy order/pick-up. read more

If your looking for a fairly decent Mexican food in the Lansing, IL area I would recommend Burrito Express. You can dine in or take out food and the food is decent. The pricing is reasonable. The Burrito Chicken Suzio is pretty big and seasoned well. read more

Unfortunately I read your reviews and they all pretty much suck. I've had the worst experience ever in this restaurant would they consider to be chicken is pork and they'll send a little girl out there to confess her sins and will to let you know that it is chicken I don't think they know the difference from chicken or pork based on what they cook during the day but the worst meal I've ever had especially a Mexican dish has been served to me. I don't know about these other reviews of how good and great the food is but compared to other Mexican restaurants in the suburbs and the cities this is the worst. read more

I have another place in the area that I consider my favorite go to...one day decided to stop here to give it a try. I ordered the Steak Taco with Cilantro Onion and Cheese. The steak is really good...it has a smokey flavor to it. Their sauces, both hot and mild, are really good...I want to order those by themselves. The only thing I would say is a negative (IMO) is the cost 3 tacos $10 range and no multiple taco "package" specials. A family will spend a nice penny. Although I will be back they are pricey the reason for 4 stars. read more

Great! Found this place on yelp and thought I would check it out. Ordered the steak burrito. Service was friendly and i was served promptly. I was very pleased, sizeable burrito filled with steak, beans, rice, tomato, onion and sour cream and cost around $6! Vegetables were fresh and meat was seasoned excellent! For an inexpensive burrito, this place is perfect. Oh yeah, best part... Comes with free chips and salsa! read more

The Al Pastor tacos are fantastic! The food is always ready when they say it will be, fantastic service.

My new favorite Mexican restaurant. Clean and inviting atmosphere... staff was friendly and music selection was something to come in for... Black Sabbath and Queen played while I was there... my only knock here was the guacamole was a bit bland, other than that it would've been 5 stars read more

Burrito Express - Deeeeeelicious food... - Mexican Near Me - Lansing, Illinois

STAY AWAY! None authentic Mexican spot, they have the traditional dishes but absolutely no flavor to them. On top of no flavor, they're extremely greasy and stingy with meat. Wouldn't go back even if it was free. read more

I have been on a mission for the best steak tacos. This place is one of the best. The steak is flavorful without having to overdose on sauce, and by the way the sauce is very tasty as well. I ordered my taco with cilantro and onions ( the only way it should be). I've had the chicken tacos and the marinated pork tacos. The chicken I can pass on. I've had much better. The pork was good but it was a little fatty for me. I'm kinda finicky when it comes to that. Others may like the texture but not me. I've also had the steak burrito. To me they are kinda small but the flavor is still really good. I've also had their steak fajitas. OMG! So so good. It's not the typical fajitas. It has like a tomato kinda sauce. It's like pepper steak but fajitas. Just try it, it's good Oh yeah the horchata is great! The one thing I didn't like is, there is. .50 charge for using debit/credit. read more

Checking out new spots in the area. So far, thumbs up on our meal includes tacos burritos chips and guacamole. What!!!!! carrots in vinegar are flame! spicy sauces are bomb! FYI Comales we have found the new spot! read more

I live a few minutes away from this restaurant and it's funny to see the two reviews of the women that give 2 stars. It's really not that bad.. Let's be honest.. First, i'm sorry to tell you but maybe you SHOULD start writing home to Mom so she can explain to you that you don't order a hot dog and cheese fries at a Mexican restaurant. I honestly don't know why they offer it to begin with but come on..... It's like those Dairy Queen commercial's that advertise Chili Cheese Dogs! I've never tried them but I also will never go to an ice cream parlor and order MEAT. Customer service is excellent and food is done quick (Hence the "Express" in the name). It's a little more expensive than other's in the area but it's good. FAR and I mean FAR from Taco Bell when you're referring to Authentic Mexican food. Give it a try and stay away from the cheese fries, Hotdogs, corndogs, cotton candy or any other ridiculous food you can think of that's not involved in a Mexican cuisine. - Jack read more

Mixed Feeling: Food-Good Pricing-Unethical Food--I really like their food, caveat I have only had their burritos, chimachanga, steak tacos and tortas. I start noticing the price they charge was different than the menu. When I first mentioned this the cashier said their prices changed and haven't updated the menu. Okay, not right but that can happen. Fast forward six months, again noticed the price(which you only see if you ask for receipt) was again higher. When I approached cashier, he had the same 'stock answer'. To make things worse, the correct price is on the receipt, but they MANUALLY add an additional generic charge to your receipt and hope you do not notice. Both cashier gave generic 'menu changed' answer. Cashier spoke to manager, who never came out, and they refunded by money. They are doing this to everyone. read more

I love this place. LOVE IT! They have the best tacos in the entire South 'burbs/NW Indiana area. It's an unassuming little storefront which the owners have recently redone. This is one of those great family run places with no pretense and nice people. They have a small walk-up counter where you order and two stools along the window to eat and that's it. But don't be fooled by the sparse accomodations...they're making some really good food. I could go in depth about all the things I've tried, but it would take too long. I'll summarize as best I can. Whether it's steak, chicken, pork it doesn't matter. They rub it with spices, grill it open flame style, and serve it with awesome smoky flavored beans and rice that doesn't stick together in clumps. The flavors are just incredible and if you love good salsa/hot sauce then you need to stop reading this and go right now. They make it right there, using guajillo chiles, and it is so good words don't do it justice. You could cover anything...old shoes, your tv remote...in this stuff, and it would put a smile on your face. If you're sick of bland tacos, weak flavors and Americanized Mexican food, come here to cure your blues. read more

The marinated pork is absolutely delicious. Had a pork burrito thought it was pretty good. Reasonably price with their chips are out of a bag, they should make their own. There's salsa is OK at best and that's being nice. read more

Food was not good at all very tasteless super super greasy not good in general very over priced and taxed. The servers had attitudes when told that their Chile rellenos were not good and hard yet they still charged us for them. The drinks tasted like dirt. Overall if you want good Mexican food DO NOT COME HERE ! ( p.s. my sister threw up as soon as we left from eating there) read more

Not only is the food tasteless it was extremely greasy. We had a torta which had a huge chewy bread and the Asada was salty. Wouldn't recommend anyone to come here. They have absolutely no flavor on the tacos or sopes we had either. They were just drenched in oil read more

Burrito Express - Sope was drenched in oil, flavorless - Mexican Near Me - Lansing, Illinois

First and last time coming here . Let's start with I ordered a burrito food is ok I don't know why they r always so busy because the food is very basic nothing special about it. The Mexican guy in from at the register with the pony tale forgot to give me and my family our drinks. He collected the receipt and then denied that when I was able to Come back n see if I can get my drink. Super petty I was in shock ! Like how much were my two drinks. It's hot outside and I can't have the drinks I laid for WOW yeah 1 start for service and the food was basic no flavor ! Never again read more

Went to purchase guacamole and chips. the board reads $5.60. they ring up as $6.99. plus they charge you to use debit card. Be careful when ordering. ... Bad business. read more

Great place to grab a burrito, also great place to watch soccer matches Aside from the really odd table arrangement, the food is tasty, the wait staff is young and extra helpful, prices are reasonable, salsa will clean out your sinuses, and best of all I was able to watch world cup matches here! Two really cool things I liked; they have a small display at the counter where you can buy a number of different bakery and packaged items. So it is also a place where you can stock up on some of your favorite mexican candies, pastries, etc. The second thing, and I don't want to start an argument with this review about "authenticity", but I think it is pretty cool that customers can order french fries with their burrito. I know, to most people, that might seem sacreligious, but I find it really interesting... its like we are watching evolution take place right before our very eyes. Mexican food is adapting to suit American tastes, it is becoming its own artform. Especially, Mexican food on the low end... not sit-down fine-dinning Mexican food, but corner taquerilla food. I feel this type of establishment is the entry point for any immigrant coming to the country who wants to open a family business. The corner restaurant is the place where immigrant food meets local community. I think it is great to see a place that is serving good food that is also aware of the community they exist in. read more

I gave this restaurant my business twice, thinking maybe the first impression wasn't the best. So again I ordered a steak burrito and again as was in my first experience the steak burrito was loaded with fat, I was very disappointed. That was the second and last time I will try this restaurant. read more

DONT EAT THERE !!! Found a huge piece of plastic in burrito. There response was they don't offer refunds.

I am very grateful that the word "authentic" isn't on the sign outside because when I asked what kind of cheese they use, they told me mozzarella! COME ON NOW! !!! The only type of cheese that should be used for anything Suiza is chihuahua cheese. This place is so cheap that they would buy and sell a cheese that should go on pizza or be related to anything Italian. Shame on you, and I'm Mexican. I will say their french fries are good.. Wow! Ok, their steak is well seasoned, their rice is Shit, I bet their beans are from a can and I bet the "homemade" pozole is from a can also. This place only flourishes because of the element that resides in the apartments near by, and they don't know any better or know AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD. read more
