Famous chili verde with beans $8.55
Paul S.

A Redlands institution for I don't know how long. All I'm certain about is that it was one of the first Mexican restaurants I ate at in the early 90s while visiting my family. In Michigan then we had awful takes on Mexican food, so anything seemed better in California. After a few tries, my favorite remains what I tried first, their nearly incomparable pork chili verde burrito. Yum! Balanced flavors, excellent beans, you'll be full enough for hours after that! Like a roadside take-out spot, there's some seating out front, but the rapidly changing parking lot tells the real story : Grab-n-Go. The menu is simple with variations, and the price to quantity ratio is also very good despite inflation. I usually prefer a street parking spot, but those are competitive and rare since the adjacent businesses tend to occupy most spots. In the shadow of the I10 freeway is a worthwhile stop.

Crowded but we got our food pretty fast! Food was always good and from the crowd everyone likes it too!

Awesome food here. Specifically, their burritos. Love the chili Verde burrito and occasionally get the "Garbage Burrito" too.

Yucky chips and cheese
Jessica L.

Maybe it was an off day but everything today was not great. I think my favorite item was my Arnold Palmer. I mistakenly got chips and cheese and a side of guac and I can't believe they serve the chips and cheese. It was super greasy and pretty gross. Chips were just sopping with grease. And it's covered in melted cheese that doesn't belong on chips (don't mistake this for chips and queso) The guac was ok but it's like a creamy guac so don't think you're getting ranch market style guac. The burrito was decent but it's like the way they folded it this time- it was broken open and the layers of ingredients were weirdly separated when we got it. I love that you can sit outside and service is definitely friendly and quick but this recent experience leaves a lot to be desired.

##6 Plate - 2  Taquitos w/ Beans & Rice
Angela N.

Simple burrito joint that has handmade tortillas! Seating is all outdoors. There are tables in the front and back of the building. Service is usually pretty quick. This place is nostalgic for my husband because he grew up eating here. He loves their garbage burrito. I ordered their #6 value meal which comes with two taquitos, rice, and beans. The shredded beef was kinda dry and I wish they gave more of it. But the rice and beans were flavorful.

Garbage Burrito and guacamole
Rose G.

Really great fast casual place. I've gotten the steak garbage burrito and it was really good - might ask for less beans next time as they overpowered any steak taste, but still really good. Their guacamole is really light, but it doesn't brown as fast and still tastes good and really creamy. I also got the taco and a rolled chicken taco. The taco was great, a little too much cheese, but it was a great snack for my pup haha. They were def not stingy with the amount of guacamole that came with the rolled chicken taco, which was great. I'll def be ordering more burritos and regular tacos, plus guacamole. They're also super fast getting your order ready and very nice to you at the window. I've taken mine back to my hotel both times, but there is plenty of pup friendly outside seating if you're looking for it!

"BRC" Bean, Rice, & Cheese Burrito

Found a piece of metal scouring pad in my burrito. I was so excited to try the burritos here but right before I swallowed I felt something hard thankfully I pulled it out in time, very disappointed.

Food: Tacos Dorado was hoping for shredded beef but only saw ground beef. Lots of cheese and the meat good flavor Service: just normal window ordering Ambiance: nice parking and tables in back Would comeback to try more food

Chili Verde Pork, Beans, & Rice Burrito
Lillian J.

Pretty good first experience. Plenty of seating. Clean tables. All outdoor, no indoor dining area. Service was good. Pleasant. Food was good, fresh. Beans lacked a little something in flavor. Sour cream guacamole sauce had great flavor. Rice was good. Chile verde was a little off. Not sure if sauce is placed on it when serving it, didn't taste like it cooked in it. Rolled taco plate was good. Burrito was a nice size. We'll go back and try different items.

The lady's are always super friendly. Been coming to this place since I was little. The food is always yummy. The chile Colorado burritos are my favorite. Always a stop for me when I'm home from Hawai'i.

A place that has been open since the 1950s, they have a simple menu, great service, and great food. Hidden gem!

Kim H.

Handmade Tortillas! El burrito is amazing! I have had several different burritos and they're all amazing. If you're Mexican these are not traditional Mexican but I promise they're tasty. They're more like American burritos but I love them. You order through a window and they are pretty quick with the orders. There is seating at the front and in the back of the building so plenty of space. It is all outdoors but there is a restroom! Rating: 10/10

Rolled chicken tacos with guacamole
Amy Sterling C.

We've been living in SW Florida for five years, but I was recently blessed with the opportunity to return to my hometown of Redlands. For weeks, I'd asked my husband, "please can we go to El Burrito?" Bruce took me to El Burrito. Once upon a time, I ate at least once a week at El Burrito. My favorites were and are the special burrito with onions and rolled chicken tacos. Other good items are the enchiladas and always the beans and rice. We were living in South OC before we moved, so in more recent years, I'd only gone to El Burrito a couple of times. Bruce says I made him go there 3 times, but I only recall two. The tortillas are the same as ever!!! These are handmade at the store just like everything else and this is the burrito flour tortilla, not that trash they sell in the store. The corn tortillas are delicious fried up the old school way. So, there is a style of Mexican-American Chicano food that El Burrito has perfected. I am not kidding these beans I had the other day were better than ever. I think they have added MORE delicious lard. Also, the rice seemed fancier, with pieces of tomato. The salsa is the exact same, maybe a little milder, but you can always ask for chile. Prices are fair; portions are generous. The ladies are nicer than ever and the place is freshly painted, well-maintained, and there are picnic tables in the back and the front. If you don't get what type of food this is, don't go here. Don't write reviews saying you wanted carne asada and not ground beef. Don't bitch and moan about animals out back, eat out front or take it home and eat inside. Don't talk about how there's no margaritas. So, I've made El Burrito guacamole at home because I love their style which is NOT "guacamole" as seen in most areas of Mexico or El Torito type restaurants. It's avocados, sour cream, garlic powder, and a little bit of chile. I saw them making it a few times and this is pretty much what it is and I really like it. Maybe you don't! Cool, good for you. Places like El Burrito are what makes lunchtime or casual meals special for ordinary people. This is a family-owned business that has been serving their same recipes for many years, but based on what I had the other day, making small improvements along the way. The menu board I put is the same board since I started going there in the 80s. They just repaint it using the same style of lettering and colors and update the prices. There is no replacement for the real El Burrito and Bruce (Philly man) agrees with me. He says it's the So Cal version of the hole-in-the-wall real Philly cheesesteaks back home. El Burrito thank you for blessing my life with your homemade delicious food.

Outdoor tables and parking in the back.

This restaurant is as good as any Mexican restaurant I've ever eaten at. And loving Mexican food…read morethe way I do, I've eaten at a lot. It's as good if not better than El Chollo. It's better than Pancho's in Manhattan Beach. I don't understand the reviews giving them a 1 star because of parking? Never had an issue with parking in the big lot. They have a Tesla supercharger in the parking structure just across from the train tracks that is great to use during a meal here. Veggie burrito is phenomenal. Their beans and rice are amazing. Fresh ingredients. Enchiladas are on point. We make it a habit to come here with extended family and everyone is always blown away and can't recall any Mexican restaurant that tops this one in terms of the food itself. Manuel's El Tepeyac in East LA maybe.... For the items we've had and continue to enjoy at Las Fuentes (burritos, enchiladas, combination plates, (kids love their Horchata), this is a win every time. Hands down.

COCKROACH Believe me!…read more Never thought it would happen to me. First, the host took long and never brought the menu. The waiter brought it, okay. The host brought the tortilla chips. I found a hair in the chips. It was underneath some chips and the rest sticking out. Okay, a hair, asked for new chips from the host since he was passing by and brought the first. I asked for some fresh ones and told him there was a hair in it. Didn't say anything but looked at the chips to see what I was talking about. I got through part of my burrito and felt something oddly crunchy. I was like, wtf, I took it out of my mouth and it was dark and flaky. Part of it looked red and part just too dark. Since I saw what was reddish, I thought it was a roasted pepper , that didn't seem right though. I thought I was a pepper, kept eating. Had some a third of the burrito left and was getting ready to ask for a box. As the waiter was passing, I started looking at the crunchy thing I took out of my mouth and took a closer look. It became more apparent that it was a ROACH . Yes, I unfortunately ate part of it if not most of it. I had been there a few times and never had an issue. I was still in disbelief but asked him what it was. I placed it in his hand. He said it looked like shrimp, that it turns dark when it's cooked, but it still shouldn't be there he said. I was just tripping on it and was like, no, but then was like it has to be. What else could it be? There's no way shrimp gets like that, I don't eat shrimp. I don't know what it turns out looking like... They didn't charge me for the meal. Marco's first reaction though when I told him was like ugh, you're going to put me through this and went off looking back at me. Yes, I put him through it. His service was mediocre but still gave him a decent tip. You tell me what it looks like. I was nauseous and disgusted all night and to this day. UNBELIEVABLE!

Vegan Mexican food usually makes people skeptical, but BZ Tacos might honestly change your mind. If…read morenobody told me this place was vegan, I probably wouldn't have noticed. The flavors and textures were that good. My wife ordered the 3 taco plate with al pastor, asada, and chicken. I went with the fish taco plate. The al pastor and asada were the standouts for us. Super flavorful, juicy, and honestly satisfying enough to make you forget it's plant-based. The fish taco had great flavor too, though the texture was a little firmer than what I normally like. Not bad at all, just personal preference. Also, do NOT skip the salsa de pina and sweet pickled onions. That combo on the tacos was ridiculously good. Whether you're vegan or not, this spot is worth trying. Definitely looking forward to coming back and exploring more of their menu.

You don't usually see vegan Mexican done like this, and they really nailed it. The ambience is super chill and calm--perfect for a low-key meal where you can actually relax and enjoy your food.

They were so patient and genuinely kind--took the time to explain the menu, what everything was made of, and gave helpful recommendations without rushing me at all. That made the experience even better, especially if you're new to vegan options. I ended up getting the fish taco plate and OMG... every single bite was so good. The flavors were rich, satisfying, and didn't feel like anything was "missing" just because it's plant-based. And whatever sauce they put on those tacos?? Please never take that off the menu--it absolutely makes the dish. Definitely a spot I'd come back to again. Whether you're vegan or not, it's 100% worth trying.
