The food is delicious and fresh! The Owners & Staff are welcoming & kind! They are very accommodating to their patrons. Not an easy feat considering how busy they get. Would highly recommend this restaurant! Especially enjoy they're breakfast burritos. read more

Pollo burrito supreme was also perfectly cooked and seasoned. Still convinced this is the best burrito spot in all of Monterey, and at this point, I've tried nearly all of them. read more

What a great way to have a chill Saturday morning! Picked up breakfast burritos with fresh salsa. This place is small but gets food out quickly. Outdoor dining available as well when they get busy they have another room they open up. Breakfast burritos are huge and full of eggs potatoes and meat of choice top with fresh salsa. Top it all off with fresh made carrot or orange juice. Favorite Mexican food they do close right after lunch so be sure to get there early. read more

Burrito King - First time here - Mexican Near Me - Salinas, California

Delicious and great service! Came here for a quick gluten-free breakfast and my husband and I both had their chilaquiles with over medium eggs. The chilaquiles were amazing! The green sauce was flavorful, the chips were crunchy and not soggy at all. The eggs were cooked perfectly over medium as ordered. The waitress asked us if we wanted spicy or mild salsa for the table and I chose spicy which I'm glad I did. The salsa was very tasty and it was the right level of spicy for my taste. To drink, we just ordered water since we brought some drinks in with us and it was nice that the waitress brought us a carafe of fruit infused water for the table. Such a nice touch that is definitely not necessary, but very appreciated! Definitely will be back and would recommend this place to anyone who's looking for good Mexican breakfast. read more

excellent !! they definitely redeemed themselves !! if your a breakfast type get the blanquita burrito !! deserves more stars !!

I am absolutely in love with this place and coming from a place that has not so great authentic Mexican food, Tacqueria El Burrito King hit the spot. I called in ahead of time and they were ready within 10 minutes. I ordered the Burrito de Camaron with Sour Cream, Avocado, and Cheese and it was absolutely delicious. First of all, this burrito was huge and definitely could've lasted me 2 meals. The flavors were also amazing as the shrimp was grilled in its own sauce which added another salty element to the burrito. The shrimp was also extremely juicy and plentiful as there was one in each bite. The burrito was also on the wetter side which I thoroughly enjoyed, although I think next time I don't necessarily need to order another avocado. Overall, fantastic and affordable burritos and I can't wait to come back to try other ones. Also the fact that this place is open 24 hours a day is also crazy... read more

What a charming little spot in an alley in oldtown Salinas! I was told it was pretty good so I came a couple weeks ago to check it out. It's a family owned place and it shows. The interior is tiny but they have plenty of seats outside right in the alley, which makes it fun and interesting. They do a lot of to go orders. The menu has a lot of variety. They serve breakfast all day. I'm going to try it soon. Both times I came, I had a small combo. You can customize it if you don't see exactly what you want. I had a beef taco and cheese enchilada and it came out piping hot. The food was delicious . I requested hot salsa and is it ever hot! It made my eyes water. They happily brought me a different salsa, which was very good- you could see and taste the fresh ingredients such as onions and cilantro. The chips are not included but worth the price. The water is served in a pitcher with vegetables and fruit (lemon, cucumbers and strawberries) to infuse it with a little flavor, which I thought was a nice touch. They also bring iced tea in a carafe. The Asada tacos were flavorful and had no fat. Plenty of fresh onions and cilantro, and they asked if we wanted it first. The beans are tasty and not too cheesy. The rice was not overcooked on the edges. When the food is as good and fresh as you'd hope a Mexican restaurant would have, there's nothing to add. I would feel comfortable inviting out-of-town guests or business colleagues. I feel comfortable dining alone. Eating lunch in the alley is a fun experience. The Burrito King just earned a new regular customer read more

It was super disappointing. No flavor. Sad because it had a wide vegan selection. But it's in no way worth the visit. Save your going out money and try something else. read more

Called to place an order for pickup and she said it would be ready in 10 minutes. We arrived 15 minutes later and our order was hot and ready. I ordered the chorizo breakfast burrito, but add beans and cheese. It was sooooo delicious! They are huge so I saved half for later. Definitely hits the spot when you have that breakfast burrito craving! read more

Red chilaquiles are very tasty with lots of flavor and excellent spicy. The only bad part is the customer service. Majority of the staff are always with a bad attitude or seemed bother when you ask questions or requests condiments. read more

Came here late January after painting with the kids. We were seated quickly although we were a little cold (door was open). Can't complain as the food was delicious as since we're next to the kitchen, we were warm enough. The breakfast fries are served with sautéed onions and bell peppers. The waffles were massive and satisfying! My niece ordered bacon and eggs a la carte and cleaned off her plate. The water has fruit infusion and the orange juice is fresh squeezed. Will definitely come again. read more

#authentic... sooo goood!! I recommend the chilaquiles! I will definitely come here again!

First time stopping by and a bit disappointed! Egg and Potato burrito ranges from 5.99 to a bit over 6 bucks online and on the menu but I was charged over $10 for my burrito. The eggs and potatoes were not seasoned. The potato is also just French fries as pictured. Otherwise, the burrito is a fair size and the salsa is okay. The service was also alright as well. read more

I have missed this place a lot. It isn't on my normal walk path so I tend to forget it. This location is tucked into an alley just off Main Street. There are about four same tables inside and a four to six outside in the breezeway plus a bonus room for parties. You can do sit down service or to-go. I ordered the breakfast burrito with all the extras read more

First time at burrito king was great, fast service and most of the workers were nice, one worker was busy so it came off as rude. But I don't think she was trying to be. Food was great fresh tasting ingredients, super filling, and great homemade salsa It was loud from the beeping of the devices used to cook, the music was nice tho. Overall great food, great people, and a lot of space to sit and eat read more

Smallest breakfast burritos I've ever had. I paid $56 for 3 breakfast burritos and 3 drinks. I ordered from a man at the front but the lady in the back who was cooking was looking at us girls so rudely and we don't know why. We just wanted some good burritos. Then we got home and seen our burritos were smaller than a water bottle. We order regular breakfast burritos and paid a lot of Monday for something like this. We had really no potatoes or meat just eggs and cheese. So disappointed. read more

Quality is poor, food safety and hygiene practices are poor. Nothing special about this place, and not worth the $ for the food.

Came over for lunch and even though it was packed, I was seated quickly. It has a very neighborhood feel to the location. The waitresses knew customers by name and the food was served quickly. I did ask for iced tea but they did not have any available. They do have high chairs for the kids and they do have outdoor seating. I got the small chicken enchiladas meal. They have a dinner for $6 more, it seems that come with one more enchilada & a salad. The enchiladas were very tasty. The chicken was grilled well and was savory. The verde sauce was pretty basic. The beans and rice were extremely hot to taste, it was like the plate came out of a microwave. Overall, good food. I'd come back to try some breakfast fare. Price: $20 read more

This place is in an alleyway in Salinas. We went around 12:30 on a Tuesday and it wasn't as crowded. You can park on the street and walk to the Burrito Kind. The staff was friendly and the place has seating inside and outside. We got the pork verde burrito super which includes sour cream, cheese and avocado, get the super you won't regret it! We also got one carne asada taco and the fish-tilapia. The carne asada was so good however the fish could have had a bit more flavor. I highly recommend this place, we want to go back and try the birria.! read more

The food is so tasty. There's not a shortage of burrito places around here...I choose this one

This place is kickass! The burritos are the size of newborn babies and fairly priced. I had the chili verde, and it was amazing! If I lived in Salinas, I'd eat there regularly. 10/10!!! read more

Small setting, possible family run. Good service, delicious food with generous portions!

Burrito King is a great spot! The food is out of this world. We ordered a sausage burrito for $11, and the size completely threw me off--it was huge! The name of the restaurant really does stick to it. The staff is really friendly and very attentive. If you're in Salinas or a local and love burritos, this place is a must-try. read more

This is the best place to eat authentic mexican food. The menudo is great! I also got a taste of chilaquiles rojos they are supper spicy and delicious. I recommend the red chilaquiles for a hangover. I also got a taste of camarones a la diabla and they were really good as well. Besides that I saw other plates taken out and look really good. The ambiance is quite and really peaceful. Overall I loved this place. Definitely coming again. I recommend coming before 11am on weekends since the wait time can extend to an hour after that. read more

Came here for lunch with party of 6 and food was very good. Inside was a bit packed so we ate in the alley and staff setup real quick, all masked up and helpful. Food was here in a quick 10 minutes, was filling, flavorful and delicious. Can tell staff took pride in the food and service just with how they provided the extras alone in their water (filled with lime, mint, berries). A very good choice. read more

Salinas Hidden Gem! We are always greeted by name, and a very friendly welcome. The restaurant is located in Old Town Salinas down a small alley way, it's almost like you need the secret word or handshake to know it's location, but once you know you know!! It's a small restaurant with breakfast and lunch hours only. It's very clean with indoor and outdoor dining. They do a ton of take out business. The food is always cooked to order and very flavorful and fresh. Hands down the best salsa ever!! Everything I've ordered off the menu from breakfast burritos to chilaquiles and any other traditional Mexican meal are delicious, and doesn't disappoint. I will attempt a photo next time as I was so excited when I food arrived I forgot to take a photo. read more

This was my first time getting a breakfast burrito at Burrito King and I was not disappointed! My bf & I got a chorizo & a bacon burrito to split and they were both sooo tasty! Good sized burritos for the price! Service was great I called the order in it was ready when we got there and the young lady was very sweet & helpful. We will be back to try other options. read more

Friendly staff to help you through all the pains of social distancing and the awkwardness of ordering during these stranger days. I've l ived in the area for 30 yrs. and have a choice of 20 food joints that serve some form of Mexican food within a three mile radius. The food here has always been consistently good. They have a hardy assortment of breakfast burritos to pick from on a overcast central coast morning. One will easily get you past lunch. They still have there full menu pretty much but the hours have been shorten due to the pandemic. Seeking out this place for the first time could be a challenge, in a "strip-mall alley way" as I see it. Hang in there, look for signage. Why not five stars? Still looking or dreaming of that little spot from my childhood were all the food is scratch made by grandparents. 4 stars... pretty close. Last words... worth it. read more
