Not authentic, just not good. Could use a little more of the Mexican touch. Won't be back.

Went to Burrito King for a dinner/meeting. This location, formerly a Chinese restaurant, has a fairly large banquet room in the back, probably about 1,000 square feet. I found it odd that two other "events" were going on in the same room, one a 50th b-day party, another unidentifiable gathering of about 20 people. I spoke w/ one of the organizers of our event, and she said she paid a deposit for the use of the room. If I were throwing the event, I would have been majorly ticked. Was served a buffet of chile verde, chicken enchiladas, beans and rice. Pretty ordinary Mexican fare. On to the meeting portion of the evening; had about an hours worth of speaking which was clearly inaudible because of the two other parties going on in the same room. Add that to the high ceilings and lack of microphone and you experienced mimery at its best. So with lackluster food and multiple bookings in a banquet room, I'd be pretty leary of using this place for any sizeable event. read more

We've been in Madera for about a year and I'm disappointed that I didn't try this place sooner. I had been looking for good Mexican food in Madera and I think I found my go to spot. The food is good and you get your money's worth. Last night we ordered take out for our family of 5 and only ended up spending around $60. The food was good. The wait staff was supper friendly. I will be back. read more

Burrito King - Mexican Near Me - Madera, California

My brother and I were making a delivery in Madera and decided to stop in for some breakfast burritos. Very glad we did. One of the best breakfast burritos I have had. And I've had them alll over Southern and Central California. My brother said the same. Nice chunks of potatoes instead of hash browns. Beans tastes good and nice mixture of eggs and the meats (we got sausage). Highly recommended. Wish I would have taken pictures but the burritos didn't last long lol. A++++ read more

Burrito King has a large banquet room in the back. However, from reading Janet S's review, you might have to make sure you are the only one using it. It is the perfect setting for a large party. The buffet that was served was tasty and service was excellent. I gather it's always the same buffet from reading other reviews--chili verde, chicken enchiladas, rice, beans, tortillas. There is a bar, and the margaritas are very large. read more

This is like home for us, try the Red Beer with your meal out of sight. The food was out fast and service was good. read more

There today, Restaurant staff were able to accommodate a luncheon for 60 after a life celebration for my Dad, Bob Christiansen --he always enjoyed meals at Burrito King with my mom and would have been delighted with our gathering and the fantastic food they served. Great Eats and wonderful Margaritas. A comfortable place to eat and hang out on a hot day. read more

Passing through Madera, California, I stopped here during breakfast hours on a Saturday morning. Instead of breakfast, I ordered two pupusas a la carte. The hostess apologized for the wait, but it was well worth it! The pupusas were very tasty, and dry, not greasy at all. The amount of filling was just right - not overfilled to be messy, nor too skimpy to make me feel cheated. The curtido was relatively mild (maybe not marinated too long yet?) but a nice counterpoint to the pupusas' gentle spiciness. I plan to make another pit stop here on my next road trip up North! read more

This place is pretty solid. I feel like the worst part about Madera is how harsh people are on local establishments. The enchiladas are a hit with my family, so Fridays are the jam with their enchilada special for that day. The chips and salsa are great as well. Some days it's hotter than others, and I always appreciate the extra heat. Sometimes they are a bit slow if something is going on in the banquet hall, but for the most part they are typically pretty quick and attentive. read more

Yummy food! Hot and delicious shrimp quesadilla that my husband and I shared. Tgey gave us some chips and salsa which was nice and crunchy. We also got King burritos that were so big I couldn't finish it. Took it home. It was my first wet burrito ever, which I was anxious about but it was delicious. God knows I hate to waste money on food I don't like but this did not disappoint and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it. I'm not too big on spicy, so ordered it with the green sauce and it was great! Will come here again next tjme we drive through Madera. read more

Just had dinner here for the first time. The service was amazing. We had the seafood platter & everything was delicious & presentation was beautiful. I don't know why the stars are so low, maybe we came on a good night. Either way this place is definitely a stop my family and I will be making when we travel though Madera. read more

Burrito King - Mexican Near Me - Madera, California

See all

This was a first for me. We took our crew here for dinner we had 6 people. The food was ok at best. My chimmychanga was just a tortilla shrimp and fried, nothing inside no cheese nothing, there was no sauce on top and had no flavor!! The others had fajitas they said were very good one had a king burrito and was good. The waitress left us mid order and did not come back we had a different server that was very attentive. All in all I have to say we will not be back. read more

I have been craving Albondigas. I ordered through door dash. This was the best I have ever had. I called the restaurant and and asked to speak to the manager. She thought I was calling to complain.....Nope. Just to compliment. read more

Comfortable vibe. The Chili Verde was tender and lean. Tortillas are fresh and salsa had a little kick but not too much it killed the food.

Burrito King has good service, great food and reasonable prices. I completely recommend this place.

Hadn't been to Burrito King in a couple of years and today I was reminded why. Was part of a large party and of the many that attended -- 1 person got hives, 1 threw up 20 minutes after the mean, 1 other person had bad stomach cramps and 1 other also vomited. The food overall -- was mediocre (no salt, bland) Service -- lady got a couple of drink orders wrong and forgot one persons order all together. Overall -- avoid this place if you can UNLESS you are desperate ! read more

If you are from madera then you know about the village. I can't give this place a full five star review knowing that... They aren't the village lol. I miss the village. I crave the village constantly and this place makes me sad.... That being Said, I'm just not a huge fan of Mexican restaurants that try to mask their lack of flavor with extra cheese. Everything on their menu is covered in melted cheese...just bland, greasy, and not up to par with the more authentic Mexican restaurants in madera. read more

Sad. For starters, the only area with any ambiance was the bar . The dining area was plain and looked cheesy . What decor they had was bunched in a corner. A fountain, plastic plants , lights and bamboo rods all pulled together. Drinks came late and sparse. Had to ask for everything. Food drinks silverware . I've lived in Madera 44+ years . Have been there 4 times . Always invited , never by choice. Seams BKs could do 100 times better seeing they have such a long history . read more

Its The King..come on...who doesnt love it? Stick to the Mexican food on the menu. Bring mace if youre gonna hit the bar on the weekend...but its delic. read more

Burrito King - The King - Mexican Near Me - Madera, California

The service was amazing, the owner is always so welcoming. Our menudo was decent but I really wished they had homemade tortillas; one can wish. read more

It's such a shame, Burrito King has been THE place to go for good Mexican food in Madera for decades. It's become pretty bland, and service has much to be desired. My aunt and I ordered the chicken tortilla soup to go... it took quite a long time to get the order, then when we got home we realized THERE WAS NO CHICKEN in the soup. Had to call in and go back for a replacement. They were gracious about it, gave us replacements and extra chicken to add to the original order. Still, that just seems par for the course for Burrito King now. There are a lot of new Mexican food places in town now, maybe try them instead. read more

Very average place. Stopped in for lunch, service was good but the food was only so-so. Chicken was fine, chile verde pork was actually rather good but the carne asada was pretty bad in terms of being grisly meat without much flavor. Seems to be other options around town so I probably won't be back for a while. read more

This was my first time eating here. It will be the last. Two people in my group had burritos (one was chili con carne and the other was chicken). Both just lacked flavor. Very bland. The boiled chicken soup was also bland and was served in barely lukewarm broth. The chicken enchiladas were bland AND were refrigerator level cold inside. Combine this with all the noise from the bar and the whole meal was just a big miss for me. read more

Burrito king's quality of food service fell to shame for not providing a good and worthy bowl of caldo de res. My brother ordered the soup to go and what a BIG MISTAKE that was, for they left out the main ingredients like corn, carrots, potatoes, and meat. They need to sell the soup in clear containers so the consumer can point out the deficiencies of ingredients. My brother was looking to having a delicious bowl of soup but he was extremely pissed off that he didn't get his monies worth. That's absolutely shameful that a restaurant can sell worthless TRASH OF soup water. Being that my brother was visiting for short time and left with nothing to enjoy. If 1/2 a star was available, I would have given them just that and that being said he'll definitely will not return for shoddy quality!!! read more

Love this place! Best food, service, and value in Madera chips and salsa keeps coming and are delicious!

If your from out of town and looking for great food with a restaurant that has the most longevity in town come here! My mom usto bring me to Burrito King since decades ago when they were at a different location. I had been gone for years and recently ordered some food the other day. Honestly it was all good. The rice was moist fluffy and flavorful. Beans were great. Chicken Enchiladas were great. The chicken wasn't dry. The carne asada tacos were good! The meat wasn't dry. They have the best red salsa in town!! The lady that gave me my food for pick up gave me a ton of salsa for my chips! I was like wow! The cashier was nice and the other lady that brought my food was nice. I was definitely satisfied. I'm really surprised that they don't have at least 4.5-5 stars. I seen bad reviews about fights but that's just stupidity. Write about food. I seen other reviews about breakfast but I haven't tried it so I would say that their lunch and dinner is always going to be super bomb!! read more

Decent place... & almost decent food.. kinda sad that a restaurant could serve the "non-quality" food that is being served there... I tried to like it.. but the quality of the food there wouldn't let me... I suggest either shutting down or shutting down.. from the experience we had it seems that no one really cares about running a decent place around that kitchen... read more

Place isn't good for the price they be charging. The waiters also seem like they hate their job.

The best sope and burritos in Madera County! Glad that there is finally indoor dining available.

The staff is wonderful and my favorite is the Horchata it's always on point and my chips and salsa the chips are always made so perfect and crunchy and the salsa is so perfect in spice it's also non point it makes you want more yumm read more

The food was good our 2nd waitress Cassitty was very helpful and was very quick however our first waitress (didn't get her name) was not so quick or helpful. Cassitty in my opinion deserves a raise!!!! read more

Thought I try this place out and it was a great choice. The homemade chicken mole is bomb and I will be back.

This is our regular stop for Mexican food in the Madera area. The food is good (not mind-blowing fantastic, but good and consistent), but what really sets this place apart is the outstanding service that we get every time. No matter how busy the restaurant is, we are greeted with a smile and seated quickly (a big deal when you are dragging three kids under 5). Once seated, the servers are friendly and attentive, and the environment is relaxed. We do like the food here (try some of the house specials), but what keeps us coming back is the people running the restaurant. The only thing keeping this from being a 5-star review is that I have had better, more creative Mexican food elsewhere. However, I don't think you can do better anywhere in the Central Valley. UPDATE It breaks my heart to write this, but Burrito King appears to be having problems. I went in about three weeks ago with some business associates after raving about a great place I knew for dinner. The food ended up being fine, but only after we had to wait (and wait, and wait) for every stage of service. I was disappointed, but I chalked it up to a bad evening. Tonight I was out with my family and we decided to do Burrito King for dinner. The server was as friendly as usual, but she seemed harried; she struggled to get to us and then forgot parts of the drink and chip order. Okay, not a big deal. My sons both got milk to drink, and both complained that they didn't like the milk. I tasted it, and it was spoiled. We told the server, and she apologized and told us that the drinks would be on the house tonight (more on that later). Our food finally came after a long wait, and my combination plate had a puddle of water with the flauta, chile relleno, and burrito sinking to a watery grave. The rice and refried beans may have originally been okay, but after sitting in that puddle they were inedible. I won't go into the details of our other meals, but the quality was similar. After not finishing, I asked for the check, didn't get it, and ended up paying up at the register without getting a receipt. It was only out in the parking lot that I realized I had been charged for everything - including those drinks. I like the people at Burrito King, and I used to love eating there. I won't be going back, however, until they have some time to straighten out whatever has gone wrong there. I hope they can do it! read more

Pupusas were amazing, along with their caldo. Service was great too, and made you feel so welcome. And omg, their salsa is so good! Who doesn't love chips and some good salsa to start off with. read more

I dread going coming to this place. The food is terrible. The only reason I know is because I get dragged here every so often. The bar is way too small. It's a no from me. read more

I'm not sure if this is what passes for authentic mexican food now but it was disgusting either way. The tacos were much too greasy but not in a good way at all and they actually use American cheese on the tacos I thought that was strange. Taco Bell would have definitely been better than the 20 Bucks I wasted at this place read more

The service was horrible! The food was almost as bad!! The waitress was very nice however she only filled our drinks 1 time & took our basket for more chips but never brought them. It took a long time to get out food & we had to ask for forks & napkins. I ordered a salad with my meal & the rest of my party order a soup but we ALL got soup. There were not busy at all there were only us & 1 other table filled including both dinning rooms. The food wasn't very good either nobody in our party like the food they ordered. The overall experience was horrible. I had to give 1 star but they don't deserve it! read more

Yuck! I'm sorry but this place was low quality. The food was greasy and the carne Asada tasted old n grizzely. The waitress' was nice I think she was making up for her not being in the front to seat us down or give us silverware( we pretty much had to get our own menus n forks). It's not worth the $7.50 for the burrito and on top of that it didn't even come with beans and rice you had to add it for $2. I like good food but I also have a high tolerance to lousy food so for me to say its bad.. It's bad. Again go somewhere else. read more

Was invited with co-workers for lunch. They were extremely busy and under-staffed. We were sat in the banquet room with no place setting, no menus, no condiments. Food took way too long to get to us. Soda's were flat, chicken was not fully cooked (pink in appearance). The waitress was rude and dismissive about the chicken, she never offered to take it back or take it off my ticket. I WILL NOT BE GOING BACK! read more
