##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!

I always forget to capture the meal!! ‍

I'm lucky to get the opportunity to try a variety of restaurants throughout SoCal working in the Crane & Rigging industry. This is another gem found along the way! My coworker and I tried the ground beef enchiladas, shredded beef taquitos w/ guacamole & cheese and they definitely didn't disappoint. Everything was delicious, shredded beef was flavorful, the ground beef was amazing, red enchilada sauce was jumping with flavor and even the creamy guacamole was on point! I can't comment on the burritos, but from the looks of them and how many we saw being served I suspect they are at least par to what we had. I also have to note that the employees were very nice and welcoming. It's clearly a well established restaurant, I'm guessing 30+ years but it's obvious they take pride in ownership from the looks of things.

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.

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.

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

El Burrito Redlands is THE Spot

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

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.

"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.

Doug N.

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

They've been serving great food for many decades. What do you think?

Do you use lard in your rice, beans or tortillas?

Yes we do.

Are the beans vegetarian?

Oh wow. To say I've been sleeping on this place is an understatement. Not only is the service top…read morenotch h but the food is so incredibly delicious. I had the veggie fajitas and it was so fresh and clean. The vegetables were not hidden with oils and butter but enhanced with flavor and just such a joy. I found my favorite Mexican restaurant in Redlands.

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!

After several visits, I can honestly say this is some of the most friendly service in Redlands…read more Always a smile. Then there is the food. I have only tried the tacos. They are too good for me to try other things, so it has been all tacos. I like the combo, al pastor, asada, guisada, and they are great. The rice and especially the beans are very tasty. The place is bright and clean, even the restroom, and well cared for. Redlands has some great vegan choices, more than most towns, and BZ Taco is one of the best.

First off, I ordered a Horchata Agua Fresca and didn't receive it (UE Delivery)…read more I assume that the high ratings are due to people who lack any taste buds, because there was a very noticeable lack of flavor in everything that I ordered. The Guisada taco was the only meat with any flavor, it was good, but where they messed up is in the tortillas; they were dry and tough...yes, tough. They were not properly heated and should have been brushed with a little bit of oil. 5/10 The asada and al pastor literally had the same flavor. They were bland, needed some additional spice and seasoning. You can taste a bit of the marinade that was used, but it's very subtle. 3/10 "Fish" taco had a good, homemade corn tortilla, soft and pliable, but that's about the best I can say about it. The 3 miniature, skinny filets of fish were a joke. I'm sure the cooks were laughing as they made it. When I opened up the container, my first thought was that they forgot the fish. I had to dig up under all the cabbage to find the minuscule pieces. They should be ashamed. Again, this was very bland just like everything else. 2/10 Salsas: Red-only heat, no flavor. Green-watered down, no flavor, the limes had more flavor than the green salsa. Pineapple-bland, but was the only one that had a bit of flavor. I liked that it wasn't too sweet. This place will go on my NEVER AGAIN list, which is sad because I love to support small businesses, especially vegan/vegetarian ones.

A colleague spoke very highly of Taco Shack and after a close examination of the menu, I was in shock to see a California Burrito on their menu. I had to try it. The result? PERFECTION!

I usually order items with shrimp, and it seems like there is rarely much shrimp in them. The biggest concern for us, though, has been the cleanliness. When we came today, we watched an employee wipe down all of the outside tables using the same rag. At one point she unfolded/extended the rag and it was literally black from how dirty it was. Seeing that same rag being used from table to table honestly made us uncomfortable and didn't seem hygienic at all. We like coming here, so hopefully they can pay a little more attention to cleanliness and consistency with the food because those small things really do make a difference.
