All Milpitas High School alum have spent copious off-campus lunches jockeying for an outside table at Burrito Express. Prices are excellent - $5 for a burrito with choice of meat, rice, beans, cheese and sour cream. $2.50 for a chile relleno or an enchilada. In high school, we used to get the lunch special, a burrito and a drink, and split it. Generous portions were always enough for two. For special occasions, we'd splurge on the chicken nachos with extra sour cream. Excellent salsa and pico de gallo, kept chilled. Heap it on. Stopped in last week for a stewed beef burrito and to hear sophomores' entertaining discourse on everything from Miley Cyrus to Marcel DuChamp. read more

Burrito express is such a special place to us! My husband and his family have been coming here since he was a kid. He now shares it with me and our soon to be daughter. We absolutely love their breakfast burritos. No one makes them like Shaquel and staff! read more

One of my go-to Mexican spots in Milpitas! I've tried their breakfast burrito, express burrito, quesadillas, tacos, taquitos, and they are all really good! - Portions are good - pricing is decent, not too expensive - friendly staff - timeliness of the order is good - small space/not too many tables read more

We we hungry for Mexican food and many restaurants are closed. It is important to support locally owned small businesses in your city. We had three burritos a taco salad chicken custody and enchilada and they were all phenomenally outstanding and enjoyable. I would highly recommend for a quick takeout Mexican food burrito express is hard to beat in the Milpitas North San Jose area read more

10/10. Owner is friendly and the service was great. The food was affordable, delicious, and the portions were great. I tried all of the salsas and they worked great with every part of my meal. This place is a great whole in the wall joint that I will always come to whenever I visit the bay. read more

By far one of if not the worst Mexican restraunts I have tried in all of the bay. Ordered a burrito and the meat tasted horrible as of it was expired and beans had a horrible aftertaste to them. Restaurant itself is disgusting floor is dirty cobwebs everywhere. Had to walk through their disgusting kitchen to get to the restroom, toilet was COVERED in sh*t huge cobwebs in every corner. The only thing my burrito was good for was dog food for when I got home. read more

I just had one of the best Burritos I've ever had from this place. I'm not even kidding. The gentleman was fast and courteous. The food was extremely fresh and nice and hot. PERFECT beans, rice, green sauce sour cream and shredded juicy chicken. I couldn't believe how big it was either. I was so very happy. You have to go try this place. Thank you Express Burrito Kevin read more

The food here is SO GOOD!! And the owner is very kind. Highly recommend for some halal Mexican food!!

This is the worst burrito I've ever had!!! DO NOT COME HERE SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!! Sour cream looked like cottage cheese, the meat had no flavor, the tortilla didn't even look like it was warmed up. I threw it in the trash and now I'm still hungry. Smh. I don't typically write reviews for many places but I really felt the need to warn everyone not to come here. Gross read more

Burrito Express - Mexican Near Me - Milpitas, California

This place has the BEST taco salads I've ever had. I only ordered them with onions and no tomatoes. (Your manager remembers me for sure!) They never got my order wrong, staff there is super chill and they've been in that location for a VERY long time. As soon as I get the green light to drive back down, they're the first spot I'm hitting. read more

Doesn't get any better than this. Local spot very popular with all my friends and family. Friendly quick service. Order is always right and yummy :-) read more

Ordered a Chile verde Cali burrito. More Cali than Chile verde. It was nothing special and the Chile verde basically tasted like slightly flavored shredded chicken. I want offered salsa despite the previous customer being offered some. Big burrito though and it was less than $10. Fed me and I'm not sick. I'll go elsewhere next time. read more

Burrito Express - Order: Chile Verde Cali burrito. Cost: $10 Overall: Eh don't recommend. Dry and more fries than Chile verde. - Mexican Near Me - Milpitas, California

Food is decent. Not amazing, but for the money it's good. Customer service however is stellar. Everyone that works there is super nice a friendly and they all do a great job. read more

I've only ever gotten one thing here and that's the chicken nachos!!! They are by far the best nachos I've ever had. I crave them constantly and they never disappoint. The staff is friendly and accommodating... Ps they are doing take out orders during the pandemic! read more

I was in the area and was craving for a burrito. According to Yelp, the closest location is Burrito Express. The reviews were pretty good and highly recommended the Express. The place is pretty small and crowded. I had to get in line near the door. The cashier was really nice and took my order. He could be the owner, but not sure. The order took about 10 minutes, pretty normal for an authentic Mexican food. The burrito wasn't so bad, but I was hoping for a bigger size. They did add a good amount of carne asada though. I forgot to asked them to add more sour cream =(. read more

This was the SPOT back in middle & high school. Take those 1 star reviews with a grain of salt because the original burrito here is hands down the best burrito I've ever had in my life and the shredded chicken nachos definitely fall in my Top 5 as well. The moist shredded beef, rice & melty cheese wrapped in a super thin tortilla just tastes like home to me. I've lived in San Diego for 6 years now and in the first few years down here I searched the town looking for a burrito that can rival that of Burrito Express - I've given up after 2 years of ingesting crappy carne asada burritos. I literally make my family stop by Burrito Express on their way to SJC whenever someone comes to visit me in San Diego. read more

Great breakfast burritos! Very good chicken nachos! Friendly service. Been going here for years always consistent.

I got the chorizo breakfast burrito and California burrito. They were big. They were amazing . I can't wait to come back .

I don't understand how they serve halal meat and sell pork. That voids it being halal because food will cross contaminate. That's a lawsuit waiting to happen. read more

I can just speak for the carnitas burrito, it was probably one of the worst burritos I paid for at that prices range. 90% sour cream, beans, then rice and the 10% meat was shoved into one corner of the burrito. I called in to give feedback to the workers there just to be helpful, she said I am the first to say this. Then as the conversation went on about all my points, she admitted that the cook was new and someone still hasn't been in to train. She also admitted to the fact when it is busy, food come out messed up. Sweet girl though. Too bad I can't recommend burritos at this place. When your business name has the name BURRUTO in it, there is a certain level of expectation. Update: I ordered myself the burrito but I also ordered the Chili Relleno for my wife when she got home. All I heard was, "uh babe..... what is this??" I told her I ordered the Chili Relleno. She had me go look and just said, wtf. I paid over $15 for crap and another side of crap. I even tipped $2 just for pickup case the girl who took my order was nice! Omg read more

Carne asada is WAY BETTER than Las Vegas taqueria.

I have been going here with my grandparents since I was very young. Same guy runs the store from when I would go as a kid. Very friendly staff and awesome food. My favorites are their breakfast burritos but it's all great! Salsas ranging from mild to spicy are tasty too. read more

Just tried this for the first time even though I've passed by this place many times. I ordered Togo so not sure how this compared to eating inside. Employees were mopping the floor but were kind enough to take our money to the counter for us and bring back the change. We ordered the chimichanga with carne asada but was too salty. The packaging came with toppings separated from tortilla and the tortilla was cooked perfectly for a chimichanga-crispy on outside and soft on inside. Will definitely try again and perhaps get carnitas next time. read more

I've been coming here since I was in high school, 2012. The original burrito was the best I ever had. Coming back 8 years later, it tastes exactly like I remember. I've never found another burrito place that's left with me the same 'wow' that burrito express does. 10/10 read more

Stopped by here after working out at the 24 hour fitness next door. I wanted to be somewhat healthy so I got a taco salad. Came with a hard flour taco shell, sour cream, tomatoes, lettuce and a choice of beef or chicken. The cashier recommended chicken, so I followed her lead. Very decently priced, it was about $4.50. My friend got the express burrito which was only $5 too! The food came out immediately and there was a salsa bar to accompany the food. The burrito was very big for just $5 and was packed with beans, rice, meat, cheese and other noms. My taco salad also looked heavenly in the brightest greens sitting in the taco bowl. The taco shell tasted very doughy, I had to drink water everytime I took a bite of it. They were very generous with the chicken which was buried under the salad. The chicken didn't have as much flavour to it, so I had to dunk it with salsa. My friend gobbled up her whole burrito though and it's only in rare moments that I see her actually finish a meal, so it must have been really good! I'll definitely want to get the burrito next time! read more

Burrito Express - Taco salad - Mexican Near Me - Milpitas, California

Best Service and burrito in the Bay Area. And I tried the tacos and quesadilla and nachos. All of them are so good.

Horrible food nothing is fresh the salsas are bland and have no flavor I highly recommend not to go

The food was so bland and have an ungodly amount of sour cream, and the lettuce was older then the earth it was pulled from. I've seen rotted corpses with more color to their " fresh meat" the nachos had absolutely no cheese and the were lacked flavor as well. I don't recommend this place to my worst enemy. read more

Awesome customer service ! Food was delicious and authentic must stop when in Milpitas!

Had a carnitas burrito with the sour cream and the "guac". $6.24 The burrito was small and the tortilla too big. This means the first few bites and the last few will be tortilla dominant. Meaning, the tortilla better be fresh, or steamed, or something. This one was not. They could have probably made the burrito more tolerable if they had better "wet ingredient" distribution. But instead it was concentrated in the middle. I've had drier burritos before, but this one was close. After my first couple of bites, I literally thought.... If I ever run out of cinnamon and need to do a cinnamon challenge. This can be a good dry substance substitute. Ok, I'm exaggerating, and maybe I like my burritos a little messier, but even with the addition of salsa, it was STILL dry. The meat wasn't particularly flavorful. Oh man, why did Joy Cups have to be closed today... Dave yourself from dry mouth and just go to Las Vegas. It's less than a mile away, and you get bigger burritos, with WAY more flavor! (Yes, it will cost you a little more $) read more

Food was amazing, and the guy behind the cash register was very friendly, he also kept cleaning right after people were done eating

I've been going here since high school. Over 10 years. I don't go in everyday, but the owner and his son still recognize me whenever I come in. Nice to have the customer recognition. I love their chimichangas- shredded beef, shredded beef express burrito, and their Chile relenos. I need to try other items on their menu, but those are just so good already. They have a variety of meat, I haven't even tried the steak or chicken. read more

Burrito Express - Chimichanga to go - Mexican Near Me - Milpitas, California

Express Burrito (Chicken) is my favorite from this restaurant. Also very filling because the burritos are big. Good service also.

It's a sleeper. Salsa bar has a great variety mild, medium, hot, all fantastic flavor. I ordered a cheese quesadilla & my bf ordered a crispy carnitas taco. I'd like to think no one can mess up a queso, and they didn't. It was all the cheesy gooy-ness I needed in my life. My bf said the taco was yum, meat cooked perfect and I think they make their own chips and taco shells because they were perfectly crunchy and salted. We found this place off yelp when we were killing time and wanted a snack. Glad we stopped in. This place is . read more

My girlfriend and I got two burritos and carne asada fries. The moment I walked in I felt the place was dirty. It was 110 degrees today and there was no working AC inside, just a fan. When we got home my burrito had sauce all over the outside of the tortilla and the fries had a live baby roach inside of it. Safe to say I'm not coming back for a while and hopefully we don't get sick. read more

I wasn't sure my last review uploaded, and I wanted to support this business! Their chili colorado, and chili verde is delicious and tender! The portions are generous! I try to go at least once a week! read more

This restaurant was not as authentic as I would have liked, but it did the job. There are no beans on the nachos, but the shredded chicken meat was tender. There is lettuce in everything so if you want to hold, be sure to ask. I got a regular carnitas taco and it was large. I was not expecting that, I also was not expecting the lettuce, so it reminded me of Taco Bell. The carnitas was not fried. It was okay. They need to have a spicier salsa option. Both were mild. My daughter liked the rice n beans. So did i. read more

Did not look like the picture from Door Dash and the flavor was just okay. I'm really disappointed because I spent so much on just okay food. read more

My coworker told me about this place. It's a little ways out of my perimeter for lunch, but so worth it. Usually a guy who says his name is Jose helps us out. I order the taquitos. You get for taquitos mix or match for like $8. The load up the sour cream..so delicious!!mmm. The flavor of the food is so good. If you in the area don't miss out. Mexican food is hard to come by in these neck of the woods. Decent and delicious! read more
