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

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

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

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

I got a bad service today here, came in around 845pm and ask what time they closing. Craving for taco salad and I got what I ordered but this time it's more veggies than the meat, I'm not sure if it's because they closing and my order was made to rush. Didn't even bother to offer a napkins. Run out of salsa too. By 910 the guy was already cleaning up I undestand everyone was eager to get home but as a customer you don't want to feel you being rush to finish your food. I always come over here and this is the first time. I hope i won't ex perience this again in the future or anyone else. read more

Burrito Express - Mexican Near Me - Milpitas, California

Love this place been going here for year but was disappointed tonight i tried calling at 9:30 they wouldn't answer the phones after the third time at 9:40 finally picked up didn't even give me a chance to say anything to just tell me that the cooks threw all the food away. Like i said iv been going here since a kid and know the owner and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be ok with this happening but that being said its a great place but don't try and ordering pass 9:30 even if its just a burrito. read more

love the customer service! this tall asian guy took my order and he was obviously a people person update: he got fired read more

Very friendly cashier. My wife had the nachos with shredded chicken and I had the california burrito. Nice price/quality and big portions.

Taste like Indian food wouldn't recommend at all . More Americanized food than anything

The place is great, I come for breakfast burritos on Sunday morning. The owner opened 30min early for me. He clearly cares about his customers and is quite courteous. In fact, when I come other time his employees are also the same. Oh and the food is muy excellentee. Not just burritos but lots of other Mexican dishes. Comes highly recommended. read more

My whole order was wrong. I asked for carne asada burrito meat and sour cream not correct. Tasted like Indian spices. Terrible food. Most of the meat was cartilage and fat. read more

My regular spot, I have to make it here at least once per week. The owner/operator is probably one of the nicest people you'll meet, and you can count on a good natured joke and short genuine conversation while you wait just a couple minutes for your food. They have breakfast and lunch/dinner, and you can count on it all to be good. Strongly recommend showing this spot some love. read more

This has always been the go-to, especially after school during middle/high school. The chicken nachos are great and my favorite thing on the menu read more

It's been a good two years since my last review of this spot, and it's time for an update. I upped a star because this place grew on me. It grew on me big time! My usual order is their Burrito Express with chicken and everything in it at least once a month, if not twice. I just love it! It is the perfect combination of everything you want in a burrito, nothing too fancy, no extra special sauce. That says a lot about a just-your-normal-bean-rice-meat-cheese-sour cream-burrito. Because something so simple can easily be messed up and turn out dry, or not-favorful, but Burrito Express does simple right. Oh, Guacamole is extra with an extra fee, however, it's not worth it. They give you like a teaspoon amount. I don't know why I love their burritos so much, but I can't help but to keep coming back for more! **I can't say much about the rest of the menu.** read more

I personally really like burrito express for the food and friendly service. I began going here after middle and high school as it is closest taqueria to Milpitas high school and Russell middle school. My typical order is a carne Asada burrito or carne Asada fries. Their carne Asada has a very distinctive taste, it is not like typical carne Asada. If you are looking for traditional mexican food, it is not the place for you. I would say it is a Americanized tasting burrito. The green sauce is bomb and their pico de gallo is delicious! The place is very tiny, but they are fast and welcoming. I have never had a bad experience with their food or horchata! The price is right at 5$ for a good size burrito, I have been a faithful and loyal customer since 2002 :) read more

Ah, this was the place to go when you snook off campus in high school for lunch. Then run & hide when you see the security guards on their golf carts. But hey, this place was worth the detention, it beat the school food any day. I only come here for their chicken nachos because they're the bomb. It's something about the oil or the chips that have a sweet after taste. Shredded chicken, lettuce, sour cream, melted cheese. It's good! I also ordered the beef chimichanga because the picture on yelp looked delicious. Looked like a better version of a Taco Bell chalupa. Buttt to my disappointment it wasn't that great. The outer "shell' tasted like any other burrito from there and the beans tasted weird. And beans are beans, they shouldn't taste weird lol. Shredded beef no real flavor and that's pretty much to the chimichanga. Other than the random slice of tomato....? Brother also ordered carne asada fries and they weren't too great either. Cheapy frozen fries along with not so flavored carne. Same toppings as the nachos. I think they should fatten & change things up and at least put some fattening gooey nacho cheese sauce on top of the fries. Seems like everything I ordered had the same toppings. But I'll always be back for the chicken nachos. read more

I've been ordering from Burrito Express 1x a week for 4 years in a row and they have never failed me; even while 3 gun men (wimps) robbed the Little Caesars next door with AKA's and cops were swarming the area with rifles, I still got my order. btw: the cops came in handy & caught the wimpy robbers 2 days later. Don't mess with Little Caesar cause its the cops second favorite place. So no they don't make the best burrito on the planet but its always fresh and good & that's why the 5 stars. So if you want a place that serves great food consistently and has very nice staff, go to Burrito Express. Now lets all get back to the Olympics! read more

I always judge a Taqueria based on the meat selections they have available. It says a lot about which clientele they tend to cater to and the authenticity of the cuisine offered. That being said my girlfriend (who doesn't know true mexican food) said lets go here, it's good! I had already suggested we go to los cunados or taqueria las vegas. She agreed but later said she wanted me to try burrito express. I gave in and said okay. Keep in mind I'm not from Milpitas so I was unaware what I was in for. Bland, disappointing, Shitty to describe it. No pastor, No Tripas, No lengua? Very Taco Bell Like. No Flavor and No Spice. If you are in Milpitas go to a real Taqueria like los Cunados in McCarthy ranch or taqueria las vegas. Real Mexican food, and a ton of true meat choices to choose from. Will never be back here. Wish I could erase the entire experience read more

Burrito express is amount the best burritos in Milpitas. Definitely has the best customer service as well as with prices. Always hits the spot. I appreciate the people that work here read more

Carne Asada California Burrito is really good! Although there are a few seats, but most people order to-go. Very informative cashier as well. read more

Dropped in for lunch. Had a veggie burrito minus lettuce - and was really glad to have the choice of refried beans (so many places seem not to have that option anymore). The service was fast and friendly, the burrito was ok. Nothing spectacular, but it was wrapped well, was a good amount of food considering the price, and kept me going through to dinner. read more

So I just wanted to say, that almost 2 years later, I still go here and the only thing that's changes is the burritos have gotten bigger, and now they serve chips. I finally realized that part of the reason I like the burritos so much is they put green chiles in the burritos. Also, their nachos are VERY good. So I still recommend you try this place, and it makes me sad to see that they only have 4 stars. read more

Overall food quality is ok. If you're looking for a "quick" bite, give this place a shot. I would have given them 3 stars, but the last couple of experiences weren't so great. I'm not sure how they handle their ticketing, but EVERY single time it seems I'm waiting A LONG time. I'll elaborate a little more... I order a typical burrito and wait for about five minutes. Two other customers order AFTER me, but end up getting their orders before. WTF, this is one of my pet peeves in food service. Nothing more demoralizing then getting skipped over when you're starving. What makes matters worse is that the cashier clearly sees that I'm a little frustrated, but offers no "thank you for the wait" or explanation. I'll probably just head to Las Vegas taqueria down the street next time I want a quick burrito. read more

Found a dog in my burrito but it tasted good so I'll give this establishment 5 stars sucks that the cashier (Edmund?) was kind of ugly

I come here for the chips! I am a huge chips and salsa fan. If I'm craving it, I'll stop by after the gym (it is right next to 24hr fitness) and just get a box to-go. The chips are not salty at all (I prefer low sodium foods) and are made fresh. It is about 2 bucks. They also give you a big styrofoam cup for the salsa bar. I mix all the types of salsas and dump it into a bowl when I get home. I've got my mom hooked on these chips and she's not much of a junk food addict! read more

I seriously LOVE this place! The Express burrito is so good! And I love the shredded beef here! I've gotten a chimichanga before but it wasn't as good as the express burrito. The pico de gallo here is on point and pairs perfectly with the burrito. I was introduced to this place from a classmate of mine back in high school, we had spanish class together, so just about every week he would take our orders and we would have food from here every Friday. This was like 2005-2006, yeah a while back and I still go here for burritos. My mom isn't a fan of mexican food, but she loves the burrito and pico from here. To this day, I still go here. The service is usually good, and I have never had a problem. read more

I finished working out at 24 next door and was pretty hungry so I decided to give this place a try. I got the original burrito because I didn't really want the extra carbs from rice and fat from sour cream in the express burrito. Was a little disppointed they didn't have al pastor or pollo asado, but they had carnitas and shredded chicken. (I'm not a huge fan of shredded meat). So I got the carne asada original burrito and got some salsa and medium sauce. The burrito was pretty big! The beans had a lot of flavor and the carne asada was really good, not too tough or dry. The only problem I had was that it was a little hot for me inside. I produce a lot of heat myself so I'm pretty sensitive to heat and was sweating inside. I would come back and get it to go and eat it outside with the breeze! read more

This place exceeded expectations. I had the regular carnitas burrito,and it was flavorful and loaded with the good stuff- no massive hunk of rice filler. read more

This place is the best spot for fast AND quality Mexican food. The Asian cashier, Rainier, is always super friendly even after a long day of working in food service. I always order either chicken nachos, chimichangas, burrito expresses, and whatever Rainier recommends. Locals come here from all over and employees in the plaza come here too! This is how you know burrito express is quality. I love how Rainier asks how my day is. That's the first sign of excellent customer service. He evens follows with a "have a nice day/night" which always leaves me feeling full and happy. Another review referred to Rainier as a "wannabe gangster". He's DEFINITELY not that. He's a sweet, kindhearted soul that works his butt off in a fast-paced, high-stressed industry. Understand that we all have our off days. I come here for the quality food and even better service. Writing about this worked up an appetite. Time to hit up this spot again! read more

I was expecting a delicious meal but the "original steak burrito" is pretty bland. All I can taste is pinto beans. The staff was very friendly and the place is clean. I doubt I'll go back though. read more

Burrito Express - Original steak burrito - Mexican Near Me - Milpitas, California

Best food I ever had recommend to everyone you will not regret very nice young man works there so kind , the owner is very nice.10/10

During my high school years, I used to come here quite often for my quick burrito fix. It was on the way home so it was quite convenient. The salsa's are very good and fresh and they make it quite fast. The service is pretty good too as it is in most places in Milpitas. Van The Man's Must try : Chile colorado chimichanga read more

What a great, quick burrito! I've not tried anything else on their menu but the Express Burrito. It's loaded w/ rice beans & your choice of carne asada, carnitas, chile verde, chile colorado, beef or chicken. It also comes w/ cheese & sour cream. It's $4.75 & huge!! I've had the chicken & carne asada, both excellent. They have a salsa/sauce bar so you can add your own or fill little containers to take home. A co-worker has ordered the taco salad & it looks really yummy too. This is a tiny place w/ a small amount of seating & not much ambience, seems pretty noisy. We order from work & bring back to the office so I've never actually eaten inside. Service is friendly & efficient. read more

My first time here and I was greeted by Shakail who asked me about my day and how I was doing; one star. I left my wallet at home and had only $7.00 (Express burrito with steak and everything, even guacamole $6.24). One for the price and size. Two stars for the fresh taste and nicely seasoned ingredients, there wasn't too much of one ingredient. The burrito stayed together and wasn't messy to eat. Last star for his interaction and friendliness with the customers. Friendly place, great food, amazing price for what you get. I am definitely coming back! read more

Burrito Express - Mexican Near Me - Milpitas, California

I had a vegetarian burrito, and it wasn't very tasty. The hot salsa gave the burrito some flavor. My husband ordered the shredded chicken burrito and he said that the chicken was pretty good. Considering that my husband doesn't like to eat chicken, it must be tasty. The good thing about this place is the cheap prices since the burritos were less than $5 each. read more

I've been going to Burrito Express for over ten years now (since high school) and it's good, cheap food. I highly recommend the enchilada ranchera combo. The best thing about Burrito Express is the exceptionally friendly service. They know what my "usual" is and are always flexible if I want to make ten changes to the way something is supposed to be made. read more

Just finished my California Burrito that I just got here. It was my first time here as I been avoiding to go to this place because I was afraid to be disappointed. I was right. At first glance, it was ahuge and heavy burrito. However, after taking some bites, it was the first time I had to toss most of the burrito and I hate wasting food. The reason I disliked the burrito was because it was mostly filled with fries. It wasn't the really thin fries either. I would say it was 80% fries 20% steak. There was a point where it was mostly fries and I had to take it out to get to more meat because the fries were getting tiring to eat and filling. I want to give this place 2 stars but I'm going to be nice and give it an extra star since it wasn't the worst burrito I've eaten. Probably won't go back. read more
