I was so hungry after a workout one day I decided to give this place a shot and boy did I regret it. The chicken is bland and tough, the steak tastes boiled instead of being grilled, there's hardly any taste in anything. Maybe I've become too picky with all the taquerias I've gone to, but I really didn't think a place could be this bad. I definitely wouldn't go here again when there's Las Vegas taqueria literally 2 minutes away. one thing I will say positive about this place, the guys working there are pretty cool. read more

My friends and co-workers and I eat here a lot. The food is good, but not amazing, and is relatively inexpensive. The chimichanga and taco salad are my go-to's. We like to eat at Burrito Express because the food is prepped very quickly, is inexpensive, and has good value (good compromise between price, food quality, and portion size). Both the chimichanga and taco salad are somewhat large portion and can certainly fill you up. I'd rate Burrito Express 4 stars because of the good food and extremely good value. I would have given it 5 star if my food was one level. Not that the food is bad or anything. It is good, just not amazing. This is definitely a good place to go if you are looking for something good, clean, simple to eat without burning a hole in your wallet. read more

First of all, the owner here is super funny! haha~ I love coming here for their chicken nachos and enchiladas! Obviously I'll be coming back here for good food. read more

wow, I expected the review to be better than this. I visited several times and it's my favorite! I usually get "Taco Salad" and it's less than $5. I love the CRUNCHY shell and home made style beef. Baja Fresh has one and it's like $7, but the shell is not crunchy/crisp and meat is hard. If you like taco salad, you gotta try this one. I also tried their Burrito and was awesome. What do I know about home made mexican food, but YOU will love and appreciate and feel like your friend's mom just cooked your meal. With VERY reasonable prices, and friendly staff, YOU NEED TO TRY! read more

I used to go here all the time but that was years ago. This place is strategically placed where it is convenient for high schoolers from Milpitas High who don't drive and pour into this place (right about 3pm). Seating is limited and no large tables here so expect to take out or sit on the sidewalk as most high schoolers are obligated to do. The place is fairly basic, the shredded beef is dry and the cheese seems like its just supermarket bag quality, nothing amazing. I always loved their pico de gallo here because it always seems fresh. On the scale of mexican food joints this place ranks low. I live in Los Angeles and San Jose is the spot for Mexican food joints but unfortunately burrito express fails to compare. read more

Burrito Express hands down has the best Carne Asada around. Today I had an Asada taco and a chicken quesadilla. Both were absolutely delicious. Shaquille is always super friendly and the restaurant is ALWAYS very clean. I live in Newark and drive here just for the tacos. read more

Got the burrito express with shredded beef. It was alright, the beef was good but all together lacked some flavor

I love the food and the gentleman who always helps so nice and food quality super home made i love it

Delicious! I'm picky about beans & rice and everything I tried had great flavor. Small spot that I wish I knew about sooner.

My teen took me here one day. Now I'm hooked and the whole family as well. We always get the California "fish" burrito. Staff is very friendly too. read more

Just your good hole in the wall burrito shop. Being a milpitas native, I've been coming here my whole life! I love this place and I love the manager, he knows me by name and always makes me feel welcomed. The food quality is good, not great. I wish they had grilled chicken instead of shredded. Not super spicy or seasoned.... but still fresh and good. I wish some of the other employees had better attitudes. Perk up! Say hi! Welcome people in. Milpitas is a small town and this is one of the last original food places left... make it a pleasurable vibe. If I smile and say thank you for my food and you stare back at me and say nothing... it's kind of rude. read more

I'm a burrito lover. THis was a big delicious juicy chicken burrito. Good seasoning. One area it could improve is the salsa bar. overall, i was very satisfied, taste, price and size of portion read more

I got a chimichanga and it's not bad. BUT! Compared to other taquerias' , I would rather go somewhere else. Las Vegas Taqueria that's near by has a chimichanga and it's WAY better and you can bring home chips & salsa! You can't beat that! I also tried the Soft Taco's and my wife And I were disappointed ! It was just DRY !! I would rather go to Taco Bell for a soft taco! My wife was expecting a taco like from Las Vegas taqueria and it's like a soft taco from Taco Bell but DRY! I definitely would not go there again unless I had no choice. I'm giving it 1 star because I'm generous.... read more

This place is the best and well known in the area . I would recommend them any day. I go here about 3/4 times a week . Food is really good Owner is very friendly aswell And my family has been going there for years . I just wish I can convince them to carry chilli reanno more often , seems like every time we go there pisses of my wife cz they out ..... Ha ha ha read more

The California Burrito is highly addictive, every time I pass by it, I have to grab myself their burrito. Nice little hotspot for the students to grab their food (pre-COVID.) Highly recommend to anyone who wants a quick bite to go. read more

I've been coming here since I was going to the high school nearby (over 15 years ago) despite moving away. Every time I found myself back in Milpitas, I'd make it a point to stop here and say hi to the owner and get myself some of their shredded beef enchiladas. My dad, who still lives nearby, comes here often enough that they remember what he always orders. read more

Got a breakfast burrito with potatoes (well it was supposed to have potatoes). The chorizo tasted like ground beef. It didn't have the orangey look to it or that spice you know and love about chorizo. And did I mention they didn't put potatoes in my burrito? Only reason why I skipped the Mexican place by the house is because I saw they put potatoes in their breakfast burritos. By the time I got home, I noticed. Didn't feel like going back. I was starving by then. So disappointed. My first and last time here. read more

This place is just a step up from Taco Bell. I got the asada California burrito with avocado and the only good thing was the avocado. The meat was salty and dry as if it was preheated a few times. I got their hottest salsa and was extremely disappointed. I had to talk really loud to place my order as the guy at the counter said he couldn't hear me over the loud hip hop music never again! read more

Whenever I have a chance, I love to start my morning with yummy chorizo/egg burrito at Burrito Express Milpitas. I love how it was wrap with soft tortilla and come with lot of different salsa on the side that you can choose with. The owner is also extremely nice. read more

I grew up eating at this place and everything from their quesadillas to their California burritos to their asada fries have been so delicious. The service is amazing and the staff are always friendly and recognize us just because of how often we order from here. I don't rlly get why people hated on this place so much but I think this restaurant is really amazing!! read more

Been coming here since 2010 great service great owner there's not a lot of hot spots of Mexican food within territory.. Best food we can get and I feel a lot of kids love this place. Chicken nachos are always good here I really recommend this place=) read more

Had carne asada burrito, which is grilled steak, the portion is ok but the flavor is very plain. Steak is kind of dry.

I really want to like this place. The food is slightly above average so I'd probably come back in a pinch. The primary issue with Burrito Express is the customer service and inconsistency. Even though I was told they serve breakfast until 12pm, when I called to order a breakfast burrito at 11:50am, they told me they were done serving breakfast. Based on this, and a conversation with the owner on a previous occasion, It's pretty obvious the owner doesn't understand that customer service drives the success of a business. read more

ewl ewl ewl. gross I don't know how any taquería connoisseur in their right mind can consider this place decent. The Bay Area has a plethora of good taquerías, this one does not register on that scale (sub par.) I tried the standard issue carne asada burrito and it SUCKED ASS. The meat was dry, the rice tasted like it came from a package and they did not toast/grill the tortilla. Even if you are hungry and need a quick eat, you will do yourself a favor and drive an extra mile elsewhere. ¡NO ESTA BUENO! read more

Much like Mission Impossible III, the most recent Flaming Lips' album and your senior prom, Burrito Express is 'mmm. Okay I guess.' The food is good if you need a quick burrito fix, but tastes surprisingly bland and uninspired. Not that I look for inspiration in a $4 burrito, but their dishes are about as generic as you could get. There isn't that particular spice or seasoning that makes you think especially about going back. The service is great though. If you're looking for a friend-- and hey, who isn't-- stop by Burrito Express. read more

I'm not a huge fan of Mexican food, but this place is pretty good. In my junior year of high school(2005), I would always get their breakfast burrito & it was the best. I recently introduced this place to my brother & sister. Since then, we get food maybe every week. What I don't like is that I call in to place an order to-go & by the time I drive there, the food still isn't ready. I call in ahead to cut out wait time. Each time I've called, at least 15 min has passed for us to arrive, the cashier will tell the cook "the to-go is here" & he will start cooking! Huh?? Defeats the purpose of even calling. Oh well, the food comes out quickly anyways so I won't complain too much about that. 3 things we usually order from the menu: Chimichanga, chicken Quesadilla, chicken Express burrito, beef read more

Came in on a Thursday morning only person here and it took 20 minutes for two breakfast burritos eggs bacon potatoes there is no reason why it should take this long terrible service the guy who took my order gave his security buddy his order before me even tho he came in after I did I will never come back here read more

Very nice Customer Service food not so much....So with that being said the boss guy is really friendly and kind but not enough to get me to come back to bland for me.. prob. Cheap ingredients n food product idk read more

Love this place. The service is excellent and super friendly. The food is really good and affordable I can't think of anything bad to say. Enjoy! read more

Save your money and get some good Mexican grub elsewhere! They used to serve decent sized burritos here. This was not the case this past weekend. The burrito that my husband ordered was so small and skinny. Burritos should be fat, not skinny. He was disappointed. I'm big on nachos, so I ordered nachos. I know the place is called BURRITO Express, but you'd expect them to have decent nachos, right? No. Their nachos consists of salty (bagged, probably) tortilla chips, smothered in chalky tasting cheese, topped with shredded lettuce, sour cream and the meat of your choice (my choice was chicken). I had to ask for pico de gallo, which was dull in color (probably from sitting for such a long time). They didn't offer guacamole. The chicken was salty and add that to the overly salted chips, it was just too much sodium for my taste. I ate about 5 bites and was done. Not impressed at all. I won't be returning here. read more

Great comfort food for the price. Last time I came here was in high school... still as good as before! I recommend the chicken nachos and the carne asada fries! read more

Worst business ever!! On the phone trying to place an order for 8 minutes and then when they finally get it right they say they stopped serving breakfast 5 minutes ago. Really?!? Yes and they won't make me a breakfast burrito. Just horrible read more

I don't know how this place is still open. they must have some good marketing group or some very awesome sales person. I know about 100 burrito joint that is way better than this. I will not come eat here again unless i was starving to death and the food is free. read more

This place is ok. Food is not the best but there's nothing else in area unless you drive 10min north or south. Carne Asada express burrito had a funny taste...like teriyaki was put on meat. If I was stuck in the area and starving I'd go back. Other than that there's better options out there. Friendly people though. read more

I came here because I was craving some burritos. When you walk in, it's a small shop with not much decor and little seating. I ordered a burrito, but I found the tortilla to be soggy and the meat to be pretty salty. However, their carne asada fries are pretty good, but the fries are a bit soggy. The portions are huge for a cheap price and the service is quick read more

So far so good. The only thing I've had here is their super steak burrito. For about $7 the burrito is really good. The meat tastes fresh and overall the burrito melts in your mouth. With a bit of salsa, it's pretty amazing. The service is quick and the guy at the counter is really nice and will chitchat with you. The only downfall and I'm not taking a star off for it because it's not their fault and it helps keep the business open is the fact that teeny boppers surrounds the place after school. It's a little annoying at times, but just know when to go. read more

Good food and very friendly service. They offer a vegetarian burrito. We also had chicken nachos and a chicken tostado all were delicious. Food came out quickly. We will go back again when we are in town. read more

I have loved this place since I was a little kid and I don't see that changing anytime soon. I love this place because you can order an express burrito and add your own salsa to taste instead of it already on the burrito messing up the flavor... I actually prefer this over Chipotle believe it or not... My only complaint now is that the prices went up and it kinda seems like the portions are smaller but I guess thats the same story for most places (including Chipotle). The owner is a really nice guy too, he could pay other people to do all the work and he just writes the checks but he is back there making the food too so that's pretty cool. Hope you guys could expand to Santa Clara so I don't have to drive so far ;-) read more

I had food poisoning after eating their food. My partner had to babysit me as I was crouched over the toilet, very weak, and nauseous for 3 days :( DAMMIT BURRITO EXPRESS. NEVER AGAIN! read more

Wow !! The food here is better then any fancy Mexican restaurant I have been to. Not only is the food great but the owner is so friendly. I feel so special when he calls me by name and knows how I like my food. As I was sitting there I noticed he knew a lot of peoples names and how they liked there food. The restaurant may be small but the food and service is amazing!! read more
