From Juarrez with love... " Burritos Crisotomo " are known locally for their full flavors. The lingua burritos are absolutely delicious! They also have great Quesadillas and Chilaquiles. Their burritos en Sirloin en Salsa Verde as well as their Barbacoa virtually melted in my mouth. In the morning i like a simple Beans and Cheese, or Egg and beans burritos. The service is fast and efficient when you do the drive through. The staff speak mostly Spanish so this always a good exercise for my language skills.

Excellent burritos! Will definitely be back! Fresh taste and great value! Glad you're on DoorDash now!

Bought a bean burrito only to find it tasted like canned beans/dry beans, so disappointed I've bought real bean burritos here, what's going on! read more

Burritos Crisostomo - Bean burrito with cheese, red is not chorizo. - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Burritos Crisostomo is quite honestly one of the most recognizable restaurants in town. At least for this location. It has a massive awning that looks like it was made for a car wash painted bright yellow with its name on the side. I have lived here for over two years and I always used it as a landmark rather than a place to actually eat. After one Sunday at church, I decided to finally try the food. The burritos that I got were the Barbacoa and the Bistec de Res. The Barbacoa burrito was pretty lackluster in flavors and needed all of the sauces that were given for free. Especially the green. The Bistec de Res however was very very good. The flavor was popping and had plenty of meat in it to make a small man full (me lol). Their slogan is "slow food served fast" and I would agree with that. It is very obvious that they put time and effort into the meats and it was really cool to see them rolling out the door for the next batch of burritos that they were making. I will probably come back for a quick burrito add some points but I probably wouldn't bring a big group here. If you need a quick bite and really craving a burrito, go for it and you won't be disappointed. read more

It is a sad day when the quality of a place so loved falls from grace. I ordered a bean burrito and received a tortilla with the suggestion that someone in the next room opened a can of beans. I'll no longer be going here. If zero stars were an option, I'd put that. read more

In a basic burrito my burrito should be fresh. Fresh as in my cheese is melt my tortilla is warm and my bean or potato are FULLY cooked. take notes on cazares burritos read more

My husband and I have lived in El Paso for the last 11 years and, despite seeing this place every week, we had yet to try the food... until today. We decided to get some breakfast, and thoroughly enjoyed the food. He had a barbacoa burrito and a quesadilla with bistec de res and I had frijoles. All needed a little salt, but overall were very good. The green salsa and red salsa were both decently spicy and had distinct flavors. The crisp on the quesadilla was extra delicious. Will take my parents next time they visit. read more

Delicious, great service. They make fresh tortillas. Clean and friendly. Fast and easy.

The burritos are good. They offer a lot of options and not only the traditional wrapped ones but we can also get some nice treats like cream and water popsicles to go along with your food. The system they got going for busy weekend mornings is nice. Someone takes your order while in line (drive-thru) and by the time you get to the window you just get handed your order accompanied by the great smell coming from the kitchen. Will come back. Provecho! read more

Burritos Crisostomo - a burrito wrapped in foil - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Overall review: very decent, quick, and inexpensive location for burritos. Burritos Crisostomo is a fast-food chain of Mexican-style burritos. The burritos they serve are very good value. They are only a few dollars each, ranging from about 2-5 dollars. They are also very large and filling- they do not skimp out on their ingredients. To be honest, one or two would be enough to fill you up for lunch. The burritos themselves I would say are pretty average for the area, nothing absolutely spectacular, but still very tasty. They have a large variety of burritos- about 20 or so-including breakfast and vegetarian burritos. In terms of speed, they are extremely fast. In addition of having a drive-thru window, my food was able to come out in a blazing quick 2 minutes. They also have a salsa bar in the restaurant. I would suggest this place if you are looking for something quick and cheap for lunch. read more

Burritos were on the mediocre side. Out of 6 burritos 4 were uneatable. Service was fine. Ambiance was not anything special. Would I go back ? Hahaha read more

While the staff member was friendly, my order was completely wrong. 2 burritos, 1 papas con queso (1.99 + 1.00) and 1 rajas con queso w/frijoles (4.20 Or 4.80... I forget). I got home only to discover 2 burritos with only potato filling on tortillas that were pretty dried out. No rajas of any kind, no cheese on anything. This would have been a 4.00 order versus leaving 9.00 (I tipped at the window since they were 25 minutes from closing!) I'd only been here one other time, years ago, and wasn't impressed. Today sealed the deal... read more

Great spot for inexpensive burritos. I ordered the bistec de res (diced steak, Anaheim peppers, potatoes, and tomatoes) with beans and really liked it. The tortilla was soft & fresh, and the filling had a good amount of spice to it. I also tried the barbacoa, and while it was still good, it didn't have as complex of a flavor or as much spice as the bistec de res. I have heard that the chicken mole here is the best, but both times I have tried to order it it hasn't been available. We also tried to order the lengua today, but it was unavailable as well. If you're in El Paso, I would recommend coming here for a quick bite to eat! I will definitely be back again to try and order the chicken mole. read more

I am in the middle of a backyard project- namely washing down the patio furniture and cushions. I skipped breakfast because I was not hungry, then around 1130 I was Starvin' Marvin. I wanted something drive thru that was not a burger or chicken sandwich; I wanted something hot and tasty- and I wanted it now. Crisostomo is a about a two minute drive from me so I hopped in my car and went. I ordered the meat and cheese quesadilla and the potato and cheese burrito. They did not disappoint. For those who want a really big burrito, $1.50 extra gets you extra filling. My order was pretty filling but if I was just getting one item, I would opt for the extra filling. The place smells amazing as you pull up and makes you even more hungry! For the price, it is a great deal and your food comes out fast- now back to my yard work so I can burn off these well worth it calories! read more

Was looking for a burrito and didn't want Taco Bell. This place popped up very nearby so we gave it a try. Got the chicken mole burrito, pollo, and bisteca quesadilla. The chicken mole was a bit sweet for my tastes. I got it because of the reviews recommending it. The quesadilla was great though oozing with cheese. And their tortillas are on point. read more

Burritos Crisostomo - Quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Not crazy about their burritos. I usually go to this location for convenience and to avoid driving too far out. Pricing is okay. I normally pay $7-8 for two small burritos. I wish they would make larger burritos and just charge a tad more. Staff is nice but when they have a line at the drive-thru, I've waited up to 15 min just to get my food. Other than that, their barbacoa burrito is pretty great and my personal favorite. I also like their breakfast burritos. read more

Burritos Crisostomo - Huevo con Chorizo - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Los burritos estan increibles sin tener que ir a Juarez, la calidad, servicio y rapidez. Si estan poquito mas caros pero los vale.

Best Burritos in Town. Their only drawback is different Cooks / Different Heat / Tastes. If ever they had consistent standards they'd rule the World but ever since they moved here from Juarez one day they're Mild and the next Spicy. read more

I am shocked by the mediocre ratings and hope that anyone reading this will trust that these are the best value burritos around. Crisostomo's name in Greek means "golden mouth" and is quite fitting and clever for a restaurant of this caliber. There is no fuss or frills, each burrito is quite large and ranges from 2-4 dollars and beans are included. I highly recommend the lengua with added aguacate- the flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture is unbeatable. Honorable mentions are the barbacoa and dishebrada. My hubby is a huge Crisostomo fan and would like to sport a baseball cap with the cute donkey logo if any higher ups are reading this. read more

Ever since I moved to Dallas, this is what I crave the most from Juarez, a family owned burrito stand that opened and has gotten so famous over in Cd. Juárez it has now crossed over to El Paso, TX. They have been famous, inducted to the Guiness hall of fame for having the fastest burrito maker in the world, and its just a tradition back home to go here for breakfast. You can't get more authentic, hand made tortillas, and whole traditional mexican dishes, you won't get any yellow cheese here or lettuce or other insulting text mex things. Taste the Barbacoa or Winnie burritos. If you can't pay a dollar for a soda, you're probably living on the street and eating garbage quesadillas. read more

This is a Juarez institution since the last 20+ years, and I'm delighted that it's now on the Westside of El Paso. The flour tortillas are made by hand and delicious, they are honest to goodness the best flour tortillas that I've tasted (and they taste identical to the original Juarez recipe). The guisados (burrito fillings) are less spicy and have a milder flavor than their original recipe...BUT, that is a GOOD THING! I prefer a less spicy guisado and the company took into consideration that this is an American market. The aguas frescas are delicious and refreshing. I was told that the tamarindo and jamaica are not available anymore, because they can't import the product they use or find a comparable source here in El Paso and you know what? THAT IS GOOD BUSINESS SENSE. They aren't willing to downgrade in flavor or quality. Bottom line: If you are looking for authentic, slow cooked, Mexican food with fast food convenience....look no further. read more

Burritos Crisostomo - The Drive Thru Menu - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

I came here on 4th of July before I was heading out to White Sands. The service is great, I can't believe how attentive they are for a fast food restaurant. Since I was starving, I ordered the Mole, Lengua and Huevo con Rajas. Both Lengua and Huevo are good, but the best one is probably the Mole, IMO. My only "complain" is the coffee is boiling hot, I almost burned myself even after I left it cool off for few mins. Great joint for breakfast, highly recommend it. read more

First and most importantly is the fact that Crisostomo's limonada is seriously on point. Top notch, on point. Try it! Oh and if you want it for FREE, just check in on Facebook. I haven't been inside, but this is the place that everyone talks about on Yelp so I needed to try it. Luckily this one is on the way to my work and I find myself craving burritos (at an amazing price) almost every morning. I've tried the Pork in Red Chile Sauce, Potato with Cheese, and a Beef something or other (I'm fully aware the names are actually in Spanish, but whenever I use the names of dishes in Spanish Yelp marks my review as a Spanish review...it's just confusing for everyone). I've liked all the ones I've tried and I'm quite fond of their tortillas...do they sell those things by themselves? I'll seriously buy a pack. Or four. This place moves fast too. You order, drive up, pay, BAM...there's your food all hot and what not. Great place to pick up a burrito or two, especially if you're on the run. read more

$5.21 for my burrito i used to go to crisostomo a lot because of the good flavor. Prices where very expensive for a burrito but still was worth it. Now the flavor is disgusting and the price is very ridiculous!... read more

After driving past this place almost everyday on North Mesa, I finally stopped in for a burrito. I was tempted to try a barbacoa burrito from reading other reviews, but decided to try something new and ordered a deshabrada burrito (shredded brisket with Anaheim pepper, potatoe, and tomatoe). I ordered dine in, and picked up my food within 2 minutes. Like their slogan says, "slow food, served fast". You can't get a better burrito for $2.20. I'm glad I also ordered a medium horchata. There was definitely some kick to the deshabrada. It's great that there's a drive through. Next time I need a quick bite, I'll be back for the barbacoa burrito. read more

Price is very cheap for burritos. Burritos themselves are so bland, and I'm obsessed with Mexican food -- both authentic and the more "modern fusion" style ones. Nevertheless it's so weird that I have to take the burrito apart to add extra ingredients inside it after it's already "wrapped". The salsas are also flavorless; just a bunch of spice but you can't taste the good stuff usually associated with salsas like the cilantro, the cebollitas, etc. The meat on most of them look very questionable too. I played it safe and got barbacoa but like I said. Just meh. Way better Mexican spots in the area read more

Crisostomo reminds me of my mom picking me up from school and taking me to get an afternoon snack. My go-to (as a vegetarian) is always their yummy avocado burrito with horchata. The burrito always hits the spot and is so appreciated as most places have virtually no options for people who don't eat meat. Their horchata is great as it's not too sweet nor bland. Def recommend this place as one of my favorite drive thrus in El Paso that's perfect for a fast snack. read more

I've been meaning to try Crisostomo for a while as I've heard good things. Unfortunately, I really don't get all the praise. I can see the value of Criso in the speed of food production, low cost, and ease of its to-go drive thru. But the food is only so-so at best. They serve bfast (in addition to rest of menu) until 1100. And I was starving so I ordered the mole burrito and eggs and chorizo. Positives first. Tortilla was very fresh (you could see them making the tortillas inside). For the price, you get a lot of food. Its been mentioned before but I'll repeat it, credit cards add an additional charge (for my order it was just .50 cents tho) so use cash if you got it. When I ordered, the only customization (that I was offered at least) was beans or no beans. I got beans on both. I ordered their lemonade cause I had read it was really good. Food was out in less than 3 minutes. Ok now for the less than good. They offer two salsas, red and verde. Both were extremely watery and lacked flavor. Red sauce def had some heat to it but the texture and lack of flavor really turned me off. The lemonade needed more sugar and lemon as tasted like water with just a hint a lemon. I found both the mole and the chorizo and egg to just be very bland. I felt like I was eating a tortilla with some paste in side of it. Extremely greasy paste. I like the idea of Crisostomo and they have an extensive menu so I imagine I'll give it another shot in the future. But I was not impressed today. read more

Ohhhh yeah - juicy and flavorful meat stuffed into house-made tortillas....yessssss! On our El Paso vacation, my sister-in-law and brother-in-law mentioned that Crisostomo is very popular across the border and luckily opened up not too far from their house. We originally went by at 7:55 PM on Saturday night to find it closing down (bummer) but decided it would be lunch on Sunday. Sunday, we all peered at the online menu. Everyone wanted to try 2 burritos but I was not sure how big they would be. We got the orders (the in-laws wanted breakfast ones but it was after 11 AM, so we got contingent orders figuring breakfast would be over, which it was). We were greeted with a hearty "Buenos tardes!" and proceeded to order 7 burritos and 2 horchatas. The staff seemed amused with us because we ordered so many for 2 people, but it was really for 4 people and we took it to go. You can choose to add frijoles for free to each burrito. They did not have guacamole unfortunately, which would only have been 50 cents per side order. Burritos are around $3 and there are 15 different flavors after breakfast (3 specialty,12 regular menu) plus 3 breakfast ones. We got 3 chicken mole, 1 lengua, 1 barbacoa, 1 deshebrada, and 1 chile relleno. When we got back to the house, the s-i-l and b-i-l loved their horchata. My b-i-l said the deshebrada was spicy. The lengua was my choice and it was juicy, tender, and included diced potatoes and green chiles. Mmmmm! It had a little zing to it. Eric R. promised to share his barbacoa with me, and he said it was the hardest thing he ever did to give up half of it to share! It was very yummy, oozing with grease but heck, we only live once! The meat melted in the mouth. I would definitely come back here - it is quick, cheap, and tasty. CASH ONLY! read more

Great breakfast burritos. I especially liked the green chili one. The tortillas have that great crispy texture that lets you know they're fresh. At $2-3 each it's almost highway robbery. I also like that the sausage one is called the weenie. read more

I've been here (drive-thru) on several occasions, and wonder why I go back. My experience as been hit-n-miss; some items are decent, others are not. One of my main gripes is that most of the fillings are soup/stew-like which creates a soggy mess of a burrito. Much better (and bigger) burritos can be had for the same price. I usually stick with the "Raja's con Queso" or "Pollo a la Mexicana". I can't say that I care much for any of their other offerings. read more
