If you were going to fast food at the beach come here instead. It's even cheaper. The food is traditional Mexican and it's right by the pier. Very reasonable prices. I like the chicken and carne asada tacos here and if you're really hungry you can take half a burrito home with you, they're huge. The people are really nice and it's faster than fast food. Ambiance is roadside cafe. read more

Perhaps some of the most mid Mexican food I've ever eaten. Not very clean inside and lots of the upholstery is peeling or falling apart. It's also really hot in here, I think their AC doesn't work or something. We ordered our food and it came out pretty fast. Not surprising considering we were the only people in here. It wasn't anything special, my friend had a Cali burrito and I had the 4 tacos with ground beef. Would not eat here again. read more

El Burrito Grill - 4 tacos lunch special - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

Okay, so admittedly, the vibes sitting down here were WAY off. The floor and a few tables were dirty, there were no other diners inside. The menus were slightly sticky from probably years of chip grease-laden fingers perusing them. If you have even a remote preference for ambiance, consider eating on the patio or taking it to go. The restaurant just had a funky energy, smelled like old furniture and cooking oil, so maybe don't bring a date or business lunch there. Unless, of course, they are into the kinda neglected dive-y vibe and your whole purpose is to impress them with the deliciousness of the food. Yes, it's greasy. Yes, it's extra cheesy. It's also the best shredded beef crunchy tacos and slathered super deluxe wet burritos. Hands down. Bring a healthy appetite and maybe a bib. It gets messy. For fellow South Bay natives, this is verifiably LBJ's little cousin. The recipes are super similar, if not the same. Gen X'ers and Millenials -- they have our Special C. You can still live and die by their rice and beans. And yes, the chips are whole fried discs and their salsa is still drinkable. And yes, you should still takeout and head to the beach. read more

shamelessly obsessed with the bean & cheese burritos here. A staple, a necessity, and a bargain. El Burrito hits every time. Staff is always super friendly. Never too crowded. A good spot for watching sports. read more

The food was adequate barring the tasteless shredded beef taco but the disrepair of the facility is off-putting ESPECIALLY the disgusting bathrooms. That was the worst restroom I've seen in a restaurant ever. No toilet paper, shit stains and remands of someone's bowels all over the bowl. Looks like it hasn't been cleaned in a few weeks. Stall wouldn't lock. Barely any soap in the clogged, gooey dispenser. Won't go back again. Hope their kitchen and food was cleaner than their facilities. read more

First off, I only came back to this location because of the bad waitress at the other one on Carson. The waitress here named Jazmine and Givanni are ALWAYS amazing; even remembering my order. The super burrito is outstanding!!!! Aneheim and PCH. I'll be back! read more

This place needs more love! Locals please support this family business. It's always empty when I come in. I love the "Lunch Special C" (Surfers Special). The tortillas are amazing. And they give you a lot of tortilla chips that I like to put inside my burrito read more

One thing I have to say about this place is the food is still delicious like back in the days . I could not believe it but the only thing that made me mad. I found some hair in my salsa. That was a big turn off, but I ordered 2 shedding beef burritos and 1 chunky beef wet burrito it was fire but they didn't give us any guacamole or sour cream on top of our burrito. I was so mad about that. but besides that the food was good the place needed to be kept up a little bit. They should have the girl work the front counter clean the front area. but the next time I go back, I'm definitely making sure I tell them step-by-step how to make my food. read more

Ambiance was your average Mexican restaurant. I only saw two employees; could be why the tables needed bussing. Service was prompt and friendly. The waiter offered suggestions for my cravings. We ordered a huge wet burrito, mini chimmis, rice & beans to go. Everything tasted great! The bag was filled with tostadas and salsa. read more

Best Mexican food in the neighborhood. Soltero in the kitchen making the secret recipes we love.

Wow! So different from their other location! Popped in for a quick lunch no one else was in the joint except for a group of guys who were being served. No greeting from the guy working behind the counter, who I think is also cooking?.. no one came to bring a menu or acknowledge we are there! Mind you this is 12pm about an hour after they opened and there was food in the floor already! Waited, and waited... still no one so we just left! I understand if you're short staffed but at least acknowledge that a customer has arrived! Bad service!! read more

Order the carne asada wet burritos. You won't be disappointed. Portion is huge. Comes with fresh homemade tortilla chips. Whole Chips! The end. read more

I ordered some food tonight and there was something in my tostada salad that wasn't chicken. My boyfriend ordered something and there was a hair in it. We really used to like coming here. Their kitchen isn't very clean and you can see it. I only give it a two star. It's a shame I won't be returning. read more

Came to this place for lunch with a coworker. We ordered enchiladas and a burrito. The food was a 6 out of 10, slightly above average and not all the drink options were available . The couches were worn and old. The guy taking the orders gave ok service. Not a terrible place to eat but with steep competition in Ling Beach for Mexican food it has its work cut out read more

Went today Friday at 11:20AM. The server was like spaced out couldn't answer our questions on the menu. He was just staring at us. We finally just walked out . Don't think I will be going there again. read more

Whoever cooked on 11/7 was amazing. Everything was cooked perfectly and the flavor was on point. My entire family said this was the best food we have picked up from here. read more

The food and service are excellent. Love the tacos, enchiladas, and chili relleno, However, the owner needs to sink a little bit of money into upgrading the decor. There are years old, torn Cinco de Mayo flags flying on the patio , flooring that needs to be replaced, torn seat cushions.. We have been coming here since they opened and cannot believe how they have allowed the decor to deteriorate.. I'm embarrassed to recommend it to friends now. read more

El Burrito Grill - The patio and seating area - Mexican Near Me - Long Beach, California

Food and service, along with good prices, you can't beat this restaurant. Order ahead makes super easy pick up for take out.

Arrived in LB after torturing trek from Sac'to to see the kid at his dorm but he had frat and club activities so we left and checked into our hotel. After we unloaded my wife and I looked at each other with that...."what's for dinner" look so I perused Yelp to see what sounds good. I saw a Mexican place near the college so we hopped into the car and saw El Burrito Grill as we left the parking lot but it didn't have anyone inside so I proceeded to my first choice but after looking at their menu board we decided to head back to El Burrito Grill. Upon parking we saw a few people inside which made me feel better about the restaurant. As we walked in there's pictures of food they serve and I decided on a wet burrito and my wife the nachos. They serve whole fried tortillas for chips instead of the normal triangle shaped ones. The burrito itself was very delicious but the sauce seemed like just plain enchilada sauce. My wife's nachos was delicious too but the whole tortilla chips made it hard to eat because she had to use her fork to break up the chips into manageable pieces to eat. All in all the meal was good and on a pinch I'd come back to try their dinner plates. The young gal at the counter was very sweet which was a bonus and made our experience pleasurable. Maybe if you go, she'll be there to take your order. read more

The most bizarre awful experience. I walked in with my brother for the first time ever and the manager and cook claimed that we were there the day before and never paid for our food. I was so confused and felt awful for being accused. My brother and I explained that we had never been there before. The manager was rude to us and said that is what the cook said. I was so upset and almost cried. My brother talked to the manager assuring him that we were not the criminals and the manager ended up realizing that they were wrong and said he would serve us. I said no thank you because I was so upset and we left. I would like to add that the restaurant looks worn down. There was tape all over the booth seats. This place doesn't have good reviews and now I know why. The cook needs to get his eyes checked. The manager should have handled that situation differently. The whole experience was extremely disrespectful. See how long they stay in business.... read more

The food at this place is incredibly delicious. Good portions, we had the shrimp tostadas, shredded beef tacos, deluxe burrito and a carnitas torta. Everything at this place is yummy. Excellent customer service by Jazmine. Hugo & Hilario run the deliciousness in the kitchen. Had a great time with friends and family. Just the right ambience... Highly recommended! read more

Quesadilla shrimp was ordered by RG baby and it was a huge tortilla stuffed with lots of cheese and shrimp and a sauce she loved it. Deluxe burritos are humongous at least a foot long and 4 in wide and probably 3 in high they weigh about 2 lb and the beans here are delicious read more

Friendly staff, delicious food, big servings, and fast service--I loved this place! Will definitely be back whenever I'm in Long Beach

This is one of only "El Burrito Grill" locations, both in Long Beach. People compare it to the El Burrito Jr., Inc., which has 4 locations, none of which are the local Seal Beach one, which is also El Burrito Jr. but inkless. Maybe there's even a Los Angeles El Burrito of Anaheim. Who knows? I can't be sure which donkey-branded joint belongs to what-there's just a bunch of asses everywhere. But I can say they all kick ass: big, greasy, cheesy, portions of Mexican food at a decent price. read more

El Burrito Grill is delicious. My Dad and I had gone yesterday. I must say that I'll definitely return. Also, the lady at the register had great customer service and was very pleasant. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others. read more

Terrible food & service. Pictures are of their 'flautas' they served us. They weren't fried, simply tortillas rolled and placed on a flat grill. Essentially rolled quesadillas. Super disappointing. They let us order our sodas before telling us they had no ice! If we knew that we wouldn't have spent our money on them. Despite their location next to a liquor store, I guess they don't care enough to make sure they have Ice. Place was dead. Not a single other person in there, and yet it still took 25 min for our food. Considering walking out multiple times during this wait. Complimentary chips and salsa were bad, chips were stale. Then when walking out, I noticed a massive bin of chips made already sitting in the back of the kitchen! Who are those for!? It's dead! It takes 15 seconds to fry the tortillas to make the chips, no wonder they're stale. I had a bad experience here before, but decided to give it another chance since I'm local. Place should really be closed downz read more

We dropped in for a happy Hour! Great tacos and beer and easy to get to. We have decide it will be a regular spot! See you there.

Yummy veggie burrito! It was very refreshing and came with whole chips and salsa. The only reason I put a four instead of five was that it lacked a little flavor but putting the salsa on the burrito made it better! read more

Stopped in around 3 and asked if they were closed must've been the worker's bad day cause after asking a few times for clarity if they were closed he refused to serve me after asking initially what he can get me. I'm not sure what I did to get that reaction. Bad service on that count. Don't ask the workers questions I guess. read more

I've been craving a burrito for the last week so I felt like today was the day to get me my burrito. I've always pass by this restaurant but never went into it until today. I called beforehand and told them I wanted a Kearny Asada burrito with beans rice and cheese add a little sour cream in there because you know I love the little sour lol The guy told me to be ready in 10 minutes in my total soon as I arrive my food was ready. The girl that was ringing me out was so pleasant and I actually really like this place I might come back and have a lunch there. I just got home and tasting my burrito and it is banging!!!! read more

I arrived after 10:00 am, when they are supposedly open. We're standing at the door tapping on the glass while the employee is serving someone at a table and he is ignoring us. He started setting up tables on the patio and I asked him if we could come in. He scowls at me and gives me a look like he wants to hurt me badly! He replies "in 5 minutes"! I said it says you were open 10 minutes ago, he is now starring me down with a very violent look! This says to me I don't care about you business and I am a violent individual. To the owner, as a biz owner is this the guy you want as the first point of contact representing your establishment? It was a Monday morning BTW. I tried to reach you Jose and I got the run around. I was hoping we could discuss this and make it right before I left this review. Everyone I asked for you they avoided the question. You probably get too many complaint calls and are avoiding them. read more
