A little restaurant tucked in a Chevron. I like to call in for my order and it's ready within 10 minutes. The staff is nice and the order will come with free chips and salsa. The enchiladas were tasty and I liked having it with the lettuce and tomatoes. The black beans and rice were solid too. Glad they put it in the bag because of all the sauce. read more

Moist and juicy! Taco trucks, I'm used to more grilled meats, but here it's like braised and laying in juices. Tried the steak, lengua, & Al pastor. Got the regular sized tacos which came with tortillas larger than street tacos. Definitely will take care of your fix. Definitely get the pastor, so flavorful! Lengua was a bit much for me, maybe if they had chopped it down some more. Asada was whatever. Set up in the gas station, with a single table. Very convenient if you're pumping gas, or just stopping for other items. Comes with free chips and salsa. Waited about 5-10mins for three tacos. They also have premade breakfast burritos for $8.99. Decent price for how hefty they looked. read more

What a bunch of lazy workers! I was just turned away from ordering dinner and was told they close at 4:45, although everything posted says they are closed at 5pm. I have been on this planet 43 years and I have never heard of a restaurant closing at 4:45. 4pm sure, 5pm definitely. Never 4:45pm. And they were very rude on top of all it, as if I was the problem.

Friendly staff and convenient location, especially if you're grabbing some gas. The reason for a 4 and not a 5 was the lack of flavor in my order. I ordered the carne asada fries extra meat, but sadly it was lacking flavor. On the upside their tortilla chips and salsa verde are . Their salsa verde had the perfect kick of heat i needed to brighten up my day. Ill probably come back and try something else when in the area, maybe go for their habanero salsa next time as well read more

Good Mexican food from a Gas Station? I know it all sounds pretty gnarly but I'm saying it, the food from here is pretty bomb and I have zero complaints. Just imagine you go to fill up and you stomach starts to talk back to you because it's just as empty as your vehicle and you get the aroma of "Carne Asada" or "Carnitas" being cooked on the grill and you just can't take it any longer, you have to beat hunger. Well "Yelpire" this place is just the place you need in times like that, or anytime if I'm just saying. So as to save some of the praise for my review, I have to say I'm crazy or.."Loco" for the food they serve up here, let me tell you why.. "El Burrito Loco" Location - Richmond, Ca (Inside of The Hilltop Rd Chevron Gas Station) Food - Burrito Bowl Price - $7.64 (with taxes) El Burrito Loco: I'm in love with "El Burrito Loco" I can get a "Burrito Bowl" on the Low, Low!! Yes, I love the food here and I have to say that whole heartedly. I never thought great food and gas stations went well together aside from "Krispy Krunchy"....that's another review..for now I am utterly impressed this place is "Too Legit" and the food they're serving is all that. Located inside the Hilltop Rd Chevron Gas Station right across the street from the now kinda defunt "Hilltop Mall". This establishment pretty much is a standout in it's own right. With an menu that isn't as intensive as you would see in most stand alone taquerias, the menu is simple, clean and most of what they serve is pretty delicious. This place was a perfect place for lunch especially for me when I worked in the area, and some of various of the nearby businesses. So without going too much further, let me tell you about what I got.. Carnitas Burrito Bowl $6.99 - I decided this day to go with an Carnitas Burrito Bowl, in lew of ditching the flour wrapper of the basic burrito, I wanted to bypass some of the carbs this day. Just like that place named after a "Smoked Dried Pepper" in this bowl you get your Rice, Beans, Onions, Cilantro, Salsa ect. Let me tell you this place does "Carnitas" justice 100%. It's so flavorful and totally compliments every other condiment it's mixed with. It's the star of the show in this burrito bowl for me and as it should be it shined bright. For the price the bowl is a little small, but it's just enought to get you through a work shift and set you up for dinner as this establishment closes at 5 pm. Overall: Even though in a gas station, this place is 100% taqueria and I can't honestly rave enough about it. The food is good, the service is good, it's all good in the hood. Aside from the 5 pm closing time which I think is the only downside about this place, I try and go every chance I get now as I do not work in the area, but when I did, I was there at least 2 times a week to give you an estimate of how much I liked eating here. So yea, I do recommend you try this place out if you happen to be in the area. read more

2 stars based off the "grab and go" pre made burrito. Originally went in to get gas and something to drink but seen a pre made burrito and grabbed it for something wuick. $6 not too bad but it was only rice, red fried beans and steak. It was stuffed with rice and beans, card loaded burrito with 20% of meat. Wouldn't recommend grabbing a pre made burrito, better chance ordering one fresh. Will update review if give this place another try on a made to order food item. But 2 stars for the pre made items read more

If you are in Richmond CA and you need gas have a hankering for a burrito, taco or quesadilla need slim jims, potato chips beer or lotto tickets at the same place, you are in luck. Seriously, they make a pretty good burrito. The carne asada would be what I would go with. I also had the grill chicken there before and they are not bad. I would not say I would go out of the way to stop by here to get some Mexican food, but if you are around, it's definitely a choice. Also, the neighborhood over here is not the best place in the world, so pick your times to be here. read more

I never eat from gas stations but this is a small Taqueria in a gas station so it's different. It's surprising great and very similar to Portumex burritos at half the price.

I stopped at the gas station to fuel up my car. I found out that El Burrito Loco existed after going in to pay and decided to to fuel up myself as well with some tacos. I can't say how surprised I was at the tastiness that ensued. I ended up getting another round of tacos immediately after destroying my first set. The best part is that I didn't even come close to breaking the bank on this terrific meal with 3 small tacos for $3.99. This place is like a taco truck without the truck! Customer service has been polite and friendly, with my tacos always coming out no more the 5 minutes after I order. A small complaint I do have is that the salsa varies in spiciness from visit to visit with the "hot" never being really that hot. The only other thing that I might say is the tortilla chips have been of questionable quality sometimes too. Outside of those 2 things I can't recommend this place enough for a quick meal and cheap meal. read more

I always go to this place, like 1 yr now, but this particular Time I hated my burrito, it was so small like a microwave burrito, the rice wasn't fully cooked, they forgot to give me sauce with my chips, usually they give me a nice great tasting size burrito, but not this time I don't know if it was too early or if it's different cooks but I called an told them an all the lady said was OK ... only thing I will be going to that Chevron for is gas, a car wash, an maybe snacks, at least I know the $20 I spend will be worth it. The crazy thing is I bought extra stuff to brag on how good they are, I'm just tired of burrito places skimping an giving less than what you pay for especially for your regulars I know how they burritos are supposed to look, if could give this a negative star I would. read more

The menu offers a good variety of Mexican inspired dishes, from tacos and birria ramen and burritos. Everything we tried had great flavor and was clearly made fresh. The sauces, seasoning and overall balance of the dishes were definitely the highlight of the meal. We ordered quite a few items including quesabirria, shrimp tacos, a burrito and birria ramen. The shrimp tacos were especially flavorful, topped with a creamy sauce that paired really well with the shrimp. The quesabirria tacos also had that nice crispy texture with the rich birria flavor that people look for. The restaurant itself is clean, organized and well set up, with outdoor seating available which is nice on a sunny day. It has a relaxed vibe where you can sit down with friends and enjoy your food without feeling rushed. The only thing I noticed across several of the dishes was that the portions of meat felt a little light compared to the tortilla or toppings. The flavor is absolutely there, but a slightly more generous portion of meat would make these dishes even better. Overall, solid spot with great flavor and a fun menu. With just a little more generosity on the protein portions, this place could easily be a standout taco spot.

She told me she wanted to see it ( kind of with a tone of 'I don't believe you'), and I brought her over to the dish to show her. She didn't say anything, so I said we would happily pay for the other dishes, but could my brother's meal be comped for the choking hazard? The waitress turned and went to the kitchen, to, I guess, talk to someone about it. The waitress came back out, took the dish away, probably to show whoever was in the kitchen. A while later, she came back out with the check, but did not bother to explain to us what the plan was from there. We did see a 50% markdown on my brother's dish. It was really awkward because the waitress did not have a very pleasant or inviting attitude; she stood there glaring as we reviewed the bill and figured out the payment method. There was a serious lack of communication (not due to a language barrier; we are a Spanish-speaking family) and an unnecessary, blasé and mean demeanor from the waitress on Mother's Day.

Easily my favorite taqueria in the area…read more The burritos are good, and would be worth about 4 stars on their own. The meat is the highlight, and I recommend something more flavorful like Pastor or Carnitas, though even the chicken is pretty good. The rice is a little dry, but the hot salsa they provide helps even it out. The pupusas, however, are easily the highlight. Best I've had, ESPECIALLY when you get them for takeout. My theory is that being in the package lets them steam in the condensation for a while, so by the time you get them home, they're the perfect texture without having dry edges. I've been here a hundred times and will likely be back a hundred more.

I usually like your food from this place, but today the carne asada was extremely salty from our…read moreBurritos.

The burrito is my go-to, and the mango salsa is so good! I've been coming here since they opened, and whenever my kids come home from college, they always ask to eat here. Highly recommend! The music and ambiance is chill.

The al pastor here is not their speciality unfortunately. I would not recommend the Al pastor here…read more You won't get the true flavor from a burrito due to the guac, cheese, and other additions which is why I like to order a classic rice, beans, and meat with salsa on the side. The flavor of the al pastor was flat, wet, and mushy. The rice was also overcooked adding to the wet feeling while holding the burrito. I did pick up on a slight pineapple flavor but it wasn't redeeming. I was disappointed by the texture and flavor. I was hoping for a trompo slow cooked, thin sliced, with hints of smoke and char type pastor. The staff are attentive with questions and were friendly. Parking in the back was helpful.
