Mexican food inside a gas station seems like it wouldn't be great. My curiosity got the best of me and I gave this place a shot. I was not disappointed. Friendly staff. Bomb food. Clean. Nothing bad here. Five stars cuz four stars is for pretentious delusional Bay Area haters looking for unachievable perfection. read more

One of the best in the east bay hides inside a chevron near hilltop. Tacos and burritos superb. Real fast somewhat pricey but what's not nowadays. Will definitely be back multiple times. It's my new go to spot for fast Mexican! read more

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

El Burrito Loco - Mexican Near Me - Richmond, California

Amazing breakfast burritos, super burritos, and tacos. The customer service is 100%. It's cool how they even have grab and go breakfast burritos for those who don't have time to wait for their order. read more

They have really good taquitos, and chorizo burritos. The people are always very kind, and it's always very clean.

Love their breakfast burrito!! I get it with potato and bacon. I have5tried their other items.

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

I stopped at the gas station. I was working at school on temp assignment in area. I stopped to get quick snack and decided to try burrito. You will fall in love. Very good. Good service for read more

I work down the street and this is my go to spot more often than not. Everybody there is so nice and the food is delicious.

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

El Burrito Loco - Shop inside Chevron - Mexican Near Me - Richmond, California

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. Terrible service. 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

El Burrito Loco - Three enchiladas with rice beans for 7.99 - Mexican Near Me - Richmond, California

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 thought it was weird when my husband brought me home a burrito from the gas station, but boy was I pleasantly surprised. The chorizo, potato and egg burrito with the bomb!! Prices are reasonable. This is now my go to breakfast burrito spot. The salsa is good too! read more

I have been here several times for the premade chicken burrito. The cheesy bean and chicken goes well with the red and green salsa they offer. 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. It's a grab and go place of course. I have never been disappointed. read more

This is by far my most favorite taqueria around the hilltop area. Affordable and good as heck.

3 tacos for $5? Can't find that anywhere else. Solid burrito as well. Asada fries are also good. All with the convenience of a gas station convenience store. Only thing that sucks is they're closed weekends. read more

Read the reviews and decided to give it a try. Ordered a super burrito got a baby size burrito. Carnitas did not have no flavor. If you are in a hurry and getting gas this will do as a last resort. Wont be going back. read more

Ok...it's a little odd that there is a taco shop inside of a gas station....HOWEVER...The breakfast burrito I had from there was BOMB af!!!! Bacon, potato, egg, cheese and guac. My Good God! read more

Who knew a gas station would have the best burritos and tacos? I got the 3 pork tacos for $4.99, my husband got a shredded beef burrito for $6.99. Sooo good! Only 4 stools and a counter to sit at, but I think most people get food to go. The next time we go to Richmond, we'll make a detour to get a great lunch there! read more

Wow! What a find! I'm going to get some gas, and I'm starving. There is a little burrito place in the gas station, it smells so good and I'm so hungry, that I decide to give it a try. Their menu has breakfast all day and a wide variety of things to choose from on the menu. They even have a little counter to eat at! The food is hot, fast, affordable, and most of all delicious! I'm coming back with friends next time ... read more

My uncle came to my house with a plate from El loco burrito. It smelled so good. So I had to try it out. I went on yesterday afternoon & got a burrito bowl. It was heaven!! I loved it. I'm going back again to get some for my brother. Try it out!! You will not be disappointed. read more

Had I not already preordered (without knowledge of the situation) my weariness of gas station ANYTHING probably would've sent me elsewhere as soon as I arrived. Long story short very glad I didn't judge a book by its cover. Fast, clean, affordable and super tasty. read more

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

Nice hidden gem inside of the Chevron gas station. Very good food and professional staff, now who would've thought you'd be able to aquire both at this establishment. The register at Burrito Loco also assist the Chevron register when it gets busy. All in all its a very nice place to fill up your tank and your stomach. read more

Great breakfast burritos! Not too big not too carb loaded. Enjoyed the tasty chorizo burrito the best. If that's not home made chorizo it's a great product. Maybe one or more of the chefs are from Toluca. The chorizo capital of Mexico!! First time customers it was like dropping by my tia's house if she had a professional kitchen. Very nice ladies serving tasty, well executed food early in the morning. Smart women filling a window. Husband and I are looking forward to tasting other items from their menu. Muchas gracias señoras. read more

Pretty bomb breakfast burritos at a GAS STATION. Chorizo with egg is my go to. Tend to be busy with Amazon drivers. Call ahead of time to order. read more

Of all places at a gas station? Shits good! All I've had was carnitas but it's better than most between here and Hercules.

Food is fresh , home style ,always very temperature hot wich I like ...Very affordable prices !!

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
