I have to say, reading a lot of the yelp reviews people have left are petty 1 star reviews that were undeserved. This business works hard to please their customers. They have a cook that will "sometimes" open the doors earlier just to get your breakfast burrito order in. Oh, and as far as quality, the best breakfast burrito in town! If you want good, authentic Mexican food. This restaurant will satisfy your craving! read more

Warning! Burrito Express is like meth. Once you taste it, it is very hard to put down. Their menudo is only available on weekends and runs out fast, so get there before 11am or don't bother trying. Notice the people in line bringing huge pots to be filled with menudo? Nuff said. Their carne asada burrito is bursting with flavor (make it "super," with avocado and cream). It's enough to feed two people, yet I always eat the whole thing. I know my belly will hurt yet I cannot stop.... If you want to pick it apart and look inside, just go to Taco Bell and leave real Mexicans alone. read more

Carnitas is awesome. Nice local mom and pop shop. Have tried a few items and have had overall a great experience. Solid portions and good prices read more

This place really makes you feel at home. They have many different types of meats and their tacos are absolutely amazing. It's my go-to taco place when I'm in Vacaville. read more

Not impressed at all... My friend has been hyping up this spot saying its the best burrito in town and the first question I asked him was, "do they put a ton of meat!" And he replied, "that's what people go there for!!" So finally I decided to roll through there right after getting out of the gym since its in the same plaza. First off I forgot they are strictly cash only or check. I don't even remember the last time I carried on a check on me so that's out of the question. I ran over to the ATM machine at chevron which cost me an additional 4 dollars to withdraw (2 from the machine, 2 from my bank) So I got my money and at this point I'm thinking its all good it will be worth it! I ordered a carne asada super burrito minus the beans and cheese. When I got there my order was ready so I paid and took off. I get to my work with this massive burrito ready to tear it up. I took my first bite and all I got was rice. So I keep eating waiting for the meat and about 1/3 down the burrito a little bit of meat was finally coming out. Now I'm thinking ok cool maybe all the meat is in the middle!! Wrong!! From that bite to the very end there was hardly any meat at all. Felt like I ate a straight up vegetarian burrito overstuffed with rice. Truly dissapointed with what I got. First and last time I'm heading to this place. Now I'm just waiting for my friend to come to work so I can choke him out for hyping up a vegetarian burrito spot. read more

No stars! Horrible customer service! I don't know if the girl is shy or is just that plain incompetent but either of those make for a horrible waitress. She didn't re-fill our waters, she didn't ask us if everything was ok after we got our food (which it wasn't, the menu states that the super burrito has salsa in it but there was no salsa in mine but a whole lotta grease.) There was a woman waiting to pay at the register and the waitress was just wiping down the table like she hadn't a care in the world, the least she could have done was acknowledge the woman that was waiting to pay and say something like "I'll be right with you ma'am" but nope she carried on till she was done with the table. Over all it was a horrible experience my family and I will never go back and I'll be sure to tell everyone I know to stay away! read more

This place kills me! I love the food, the chips, the salsa and the people. I could eat here almost every day. I definitely eat at least once a week. I really enjoy their carnitas and lingua. read more

My husband and I stopped in here for the first time last weekend and this will be our stop from now on! We had never been here and tried the carnitas burrito. I wish we didn't share it because it was the absolute best burrito we have ever had. The meat was super tender, the rice was cooked perfectly and everything else was the cherry on top. We live in Sacramento but every time we take a trip to the bay, we will be stopping here. They are open in the morning which is another plus. Highly recommend! read more

The best tasting tacos and burritos in Vacaville for the price. so far that I have tried

First time going here, and ordered myself a alpastor super burrito, and the g/f got a carnitas super burrito. and DAMN this place has all sorts of tasty goodness. I was really surprised. I really wanted to give this place a 4.5/5 stars but the fact they only take cash/check is really annoying! seriously get an ATM machine/debit card reader I hardly carry cash on me and it was just lucky that I had some cash on me, otherwise we would of walked out never to try this place. Cliffs: awesome super burritos, bring cash read more

The chips and salsa were superb.... and that's about it. I had the Super Burrito with chopped beef and it was pretty bad. The meat tasted like it had been cooked hours ago and had been sitting for all that time. It was mediocre at best, not impressed. I don't think I'll be returning. read more

I am proud to say that after another reluctant try, Lester S. is now a strong Burrito Express believer. Whatever happened back there when he got his "hardly any meat" burrito, we will never know --our best guess is glitch in the time/space continuum, and now his meat is lonely somewhere in Antarctica, all five pounds of it freezing, becoming a fossilized representation of a legendary fluke that was his first order. Also, to be fair, I did warn him about the cash-only situation. It's for tax purposes. Thanks for not choking me out brotha. ;) We should pick some up again soon. ------- But about the place: -Tons of juicy meat that just falls apart in your mouth. Wooooooh. -Amazing home-made salsa. -Prompt service from friendly people. -Authentic preparation. -You name it they can make it. -Dine in or take out. This place is a hole-in-the-wall type place --the lighted sign used to read "Burrito Express" and now only reads "Express". Don't confuse this for the clothing store. This location is not the best, but you'll quickly forget about it with the first bite. Actually, it is likely you will forget about other things in your life too, like making it to work the next day or your spouse. Be safe and bring a list of things you want to remember, because it really will all fade away. I've been going to Burrito Express since I was a small child and now I hype it up anytime someone is looking for a Mexican place to call home. #BurritoExpress4life #isitweirdthatI'mreppin'afoodplace? #whocaresit'samazing read more

Great food, great customer service. Best Chile relent I have had, and my husband said the menudo is amazing. First authentic Mexican restaurant we have found in Vacaville. read more

Tried this place once about two months ago had a carne asada torta wasn't too fond of it, wasn't that great so decided to try it again today had a carne Asada burrito same thing no flavor burrito only comes with a little bit of meat had cheese rice and beans and guacamole, other Mexican restaurants I've tried their burritos come with meat, rice beans, lettuce, tomatoes and there was no guacamole in the burrito paid like around eight dollars for it too much for this burrito. only takes cash no debit cards Will not be going back. read more

Burrito Express - $8.00 super burrito was expecting a better burrito - Mexican Near Me - Vacaville, California

Burrito express food was great. The reason behind the two star is for the cleanliness. I saw one of the waitresses handle money with another customer, then grab some tortillas with her bare hands when I asked her to bring me some. That should be the responsibility of the cook; waitresses should not handle food at all. They need to read up on their health policies because one of these days, one of their customers is going to pay the price for it. Other than that, service was nice! read more

I'd give it 5 stars if only they'd take debit/credit cards for payment (this place is cash only). My family and I went in today, ordered our meals, enjoyed the food, and then were left embarrassed by the fact that neither my wife or I had remembered to bring cash with us. I left my wife and kids at the restaurant while I drove to the ATM. While on my way to get some cash, my wife called me to let me know that a kind man had just paid for our meal!!!! Sir, whoever you are... God bless you. I'm embarrassed but grateful. That said, the carne asada and carnitas soft tacos are AMAZING!!! I've gone here for lunch 3 times this week just for the tacos. read more

Two words: Carnitas Burrito. So good. They cook the carnitas on a flat top grill right before they make the burrito so you get those little crispy pieces. Bomb. If you call in your order, it's almost guaranteed that it will be ready when you get there. I've ordered from here dozens of times and it's the same response every time on the phone "ready in 7 minutes", and they mean it. Very affordable, very clean restaurant. Staff is great and the overall experience is consistently good. Only reason it's a 4 and not 5 star rating is the payment options. Cash or check only. Seriously. I almost thought they were joking the first time I heard that. That being said, it's worth it to make an extra stop for cash before you go. Overall a great little "hole in the wall" place if that's what you are looking for. Great job guys!!! read more

Excellent fajitas! They do not come a skillet but still so worth it! Always stop in when driving to the Bay.

I used to love this place and stop by going through vacaville often. Now it is the laziest Mexican food I have ever had. Chicken tacos were just boiled meat slapped on a tortilla water all over the place, and the salsa was hot but so little flavor. read more

Great Food! Only one complaint somebody put American cheese slices on my nachos last week :( if this continues I will take my business elsewhere. If I wanted Taco Bell nachos I would buy them at Taco Bell. Usually the nachos are superb, The chimichanga is a good bet too. I'm pulling for you guys!! eat there at least once a week don't cheap out and let your quality slip. I'll pay more if that's what it takes to get the good stuff. read more

Food was horrible! Ordered hot seafood soup had no flavor , and I had to peel the shrimp?! The ham breakfast burrito was salty and the potatoes were not cooked thoroughly . I asked cashier if the shrimp was a mistake and she replied no that's the way they serve it I also told her about burrito and she just sighed. She did not offer to make things right. Very disappointed, yes they only take cash and they have you pay for your food before you receive it. I will never return there. Tejaban down the street is awesome!!! read more

These are the best burritos in Vacaville. The carne asada is of great quality and the burritos are fresh and not sloppy I love this place I tipped the server on a Togo haha read more

My super picky Mexican parents are making me come here and buy them menudo. Because apparently it's that good. And buy the looks of how full it is and how many people are coming in to pick up some menudo, it is definitely that good. But be quick cause they run out! read more

I love love LOVE Burrito Express! This place is the same every time I go. I used to live 40 minutes from my dad. He would drive up to see me every Tuesday and we would almost always go here. They have fantastic carne asada tacos (get them with everything), and they're 6 for $6! I have great memories here. I now live about 60 miles away and still go to Vacaville to visit friends. I only go in there every 3 months maybe, and they remember me! This place is fantastic if you need a delicious Mexican food fix. read more

Best breakfast burrito in town! Haven't tried anything else on the menu but in sure it's just as good.

menudo today was the best in town me and wife and daughter good people was full of all Mexicans sitting having menudo loved it

Ate here last night, carne asada super burrito...it was amazing. Since remodeling they have upped their game and I will definitely be going back. read more

I love this place, it has a nice family run vibe. Usually I'm ordering the shrimp tacos, but many of the menu items are fantastic also. There are a few items on the menu that seem like they are included because Americans expect some things in a "Mexican" restaurant, but you'll find some shining star items for sure. They accept cash and checks only because they are a small family run business., If you want to pay with your ATM or Credit Card(tm) go to Taco Bell. Order the items hot if you want more spice. You can find actual pressed tortillas and menudo on weekends. Worth a visit. read more

This is a massive burrito that will fill most stomachs, but it's lacking in any character. Slices of avocado add some taste, but the meat is rather bland (both chicken and carne asada) and the amount of rice is overkill. Being right off the Alamo exit of the freeway, the location is very convenient, but there are better options in the area. read more

The only thing is they only take cash and I never carry cash on me, but doesn't take away from their great food and awesome service.

Been going for years! Amazing food and services! Some of the best Mexican food in town! Large amont of food for a great price. Highly recommend! read more

Food is good but they are fricken stingy on the chips. Like no chips with a burrito. Come on really? A handful of chips? That just annoys me especially since everyone else does provide chips. read more

Stop the car and get out to get your grub on. This is a simple no nonsense Mexico restaurant service quick, inexpensive and quite flavorful food. A super burrito is enough for two to share. It is authentic which can mean it can be high calorie OR not. Skip the cheese and sour cream and u b alright. But if you want to splurge then get the flan. It is just heavenly!! I don't really like flan but bought it for my son and it was so good that I wanted to indulge just for myself. Burritos are the go to choice for me but a simple taco can hit of the spot, especially if you are not too hungry. Love it,,,you will be back and it is a great on and off the freeway, especially if you on in a hurry. read more

Ordered a Super Steak Burrito. It tasted good and was the right amount of everything not to much rice it was perfect. Reason for 4 stars is because how greasy the food was, I could not believe it!! read more

Best Mexican food ever!!! Their homemade chips and salsa is perfect, along with carne asada tacos (just onion, cilantro, and salsa on a corn tortilla). read more

Best Mexican food in Vacaville. Love Love Love the Carne Asada tacos. They catered our son's graduation party. Guests loved the food. Would highly recommend. They only take cash and checks. read more

Always friendly, always hot. Great comfort food. Reasonably priced just make sure you bring cash. They don't take cards.

Great food! Always busy on a Saturday morning for their menudo. Friendly service and casual atmosphere which is good for my high energy kids. Highly recommend them! Cash only though read more

Pretty good all pastor tacos. A little greasy but all the good ones are. Price is average at $1.35/taco. However, the actual restaurant was pretty hard to find since the sign only says "Express" instead of Burrito Express. Also, the place only accepting cash is inconvenient if you want to go there spontaneously and don't normally carry cash. The cashier was nice. My food was quickly made. I wish they weren't out of flan when I got there though... read more

This place is great! I had the steak burrito and it was great! They have killer specials during the week for crazy cheap prices! Monday is tostada rice/ beans for $4.00!! If no frills dining with great taste and flavor is what you like , this is your place. read more
