I've been here before, but I think there may be a new change in ownership as the menus were altered. (See the pictures) I mean C'mon! At least switch to a paper menu, but to use old school white out?!? In my eyes, it's always about appearance so when I received my water, it was in a plastic cup with a lid and a straw, making me feel like a child. Upon waiting for my dinner, a large party of eight were receiving their food. There were two waitresses bring each dinner out, one by one. This family waited to dip in until all were served. But I must say, I did enjoy my meal to say the least. If I should bring someone here, it's not to impress them about the overall appearance.

a burrito cut in half

I always like trying new places and ordering a super burrito. I believe if a restaurant can make a good burrito, usually everything else is also pretty good. El Brinquito had a great burrito but Service was not the best and I found a hair in one of the salsa's. The Carnitas burrito was a decent size and tasted delicious. The atmosphere of the place was a bit odd, it seemed under staffed and the staff didn't seem super engaged, overall the experience and food was good.

¡Muy delicioso! Order at the counter then find a seat OR sit and be served. They recently remodeled their outdoor patio and it is very accommodating. It has been a little cold for me but it'll be a great spot when the weather warms up a bit. Service is always friendly, goes at a very relaxed pace. Chips and salsa are a great start. Modelo on draft. Carnitas is hubby's favorite. Carne asada for our son. Chile relleno and cheese enchiladas for me. Red sauce. Simple. Delicious. Telenovellas, mariachi karaoke or news playing on the TV. Nothing fancy, just everything comfortable about this place that has become our go-to spot.

Brought this when asked for an Arnold Palmer...very weird
Janina H.

The food is soo good here and has been consistent. My husband and I frequent this place when we want some good, inexpensive Mexican food. I'm giving them 3 stars today because when I ordered an Arnold Palmer (which I've done every time before) I was brought a can of Arizona Lite Half & Half Iced Tea Lemonade. I can't understand this. They don't have Iced Tea and Lemonade to put together in a cup? Again, that's what I've gotten in the past so I'm taken aback that I received a can of Arizona this time. Then we asked for ice water and were brought cups of ice. I'm thinking they were just distracted by a larger table of people, but still very weird experience today. But I'll still come back. The food is still excellent.

Shrimp tacos!
Mike C.

There was a Seinfeld episode where Jerry and George discussed salsa being the #1 condiment in the world. They said it's because people liked to say "salsa." I say people must have ate at El Brinquito. The salsa is amazing and better yet, they serve two! One is a bit on the fiery side and the other is just chunky goodness. The chips are served warm and have just a hint of salt. And let me tell ya, it goes quick because they are so addictive. Salsa isn't the only thing they serve that's good. I had shrimp tacos and they were killer! The shrimp were big, cooked perfectly and topped with a fantastic guacamole. The corn tortillas were oh so fresh too. Service is very polite and food comes out quick. Defined check this place out. Go for the tacos and stay for the salsa, I say.

Saw this restaurant on the way out of a visit to the Harbor Freight store that's nearby. I'm always on the lookout for new restaurants and experiences. This place was ok. The service was ok but attentiveness could improve a bit (considering there were only about five people in the restaurant at the time around 1:30 pm). The food was ok as well. The ingredients were fresh and tortillas were homemade and fresh as well.

Flan
Janet Y.

Arrived around 6pm , plenty of parking and indoor seating. Ordered : Asada Quesadilla 5/5 Flan 4.5/5 Asada 49er burrito 3.5/5 Tacos ( El pastor) 4.5/5 Horchata 5/5 We got three bags of chips and salsa with Utensils and napkins all set to go . Extremely wonderful. The service was also a 5/5 our Order was complete with no complaints. The flan was really good . Nice thick and creamy . Delicious flavor. I would buy again Asada Quesadilla was absolutely the best . The asada is marinated very well . Stuffed completely with met and cheese . The best thing I ordered besides the flan . 49er burrito was HUGE ! Stuffed with meat lettuce rice and maybe beans I seen lots more meat . Definitely filling. Topped with sour cream and guacamole. Red sauce was a bit salty . the meat was full of flavor with a hint of lime . Definitely a 50/50 with Meat and Rice . I don't think there was cheese in it just on top of the red sauce . Tacos: 4.5 The pastor meat was very tasty. All the meat here is full of flavor, nothing is bland . Horchata was very good and I love that's it wasn't to sweet . Looking forward to trying out more on their menu.

Best carne asada I've ever had--hands down. Won't order carne asada anywhere else!! The meat was…read morebeautifully marinated and unbelievably tender. Both the enchilada and taco were generously stuffed full of meat. Tender tortillas, and the beans were perfectly creamy. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, like it was made with real care and pride. There were a lot of to-go orders flying out the door, which tells you something right away--but we dined in and received absolutely impeccable service. The owner cracked open a bottle of their homemade hot sauce for us to try... very yummy!!! sweet with a little heat - it was so good we added a bottle to our order to take home. Please support this long-standing local business. Great people, amazing food, and the kind of place you want to keep coming back to. Location is in a strip mall, but don't let that fool you. The food is fantastic. Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

The staff were very friendly and attentive, offering us things like coffee refills and more napkins…read morewithout us asking. They said that any dish you leave the meat out of is vegetarian, and they also have the McDougal section and vegan sections on the menu. We were given complimentary chips and salsa. The salsas were quite good and flavorful: one mild and two spicy. We ordered the chilaquiles omelet and the heuvos divorciado. After the tasty salsas, we were surprised at how bland the meals were. The rice was very good, and the beans were good, but the omelet, the guacamole, the eggs, red and green sauces were all incredibly bland. I'm guessing most of the rave reviews are not for vegetarian dishes? The outdoor seating is only a few tables out front, but it was still a nice option on a beautiful day and there was plenty of shade.
