    Brisket super burrito
    Mandy D.

    After a failed attempt to get my burrito fix at El Farlito in SF, I was still craving for a burrito. I often stick to the same order here - brisket super burrito because it never fails me. It's $15-16 for a huge burrito. First bite was OMG, heaven... it's greasy but it hits the spot. The "burnt" bits of the meat was SOOooOoo good. They made it really good today. Flavorful and juicy. They pack it in with all the fixings (sliced avocados, salsa, sour cream, beans, rice and loads of meat. I had to stop myself from eating too much or I'll go into a food coma. It's shareable for sure. Legit would put this burrito on a list of one of my last meal on earth situation.

    Been here multiple times. The Service is great here. I love the super burrito it is relatively affordable but the size of it makes it so worth! I also got the chilaquiles which were super tasty. I like how there is a sauce bar off to the side for pickled onions/carrots and lime you can load up on. Vibes are great no indoor seating but plenty outdoor. Parking shouldn't be an issue either

    Some of better tacos I've had! Real pieces of asada! I'll definitely be back to try something else.

    This place is only a 5 min drive from my house so it's def one of my to go spots for a burrito whenever I crave one. I always get the super burrito with carne asada, grilled! Ask them to grill it so the tortilla is extra crispy. It makes the burrito even better! For $15.50, you really get what ya paid for. The thing is like the size of my forearm! I have to split it in 2 meals and it tastes even better the next day after heating it up. They have a self serve salsa bar as well. Highly recommend checking them out if you're in the area.

    Fattest burrito I've ever had in awhile, and it ain't only fat just to be fat bc this shit hits the spot all the time ! This spot deserves way more attention, but I don't mind it being hidden

    I've ordered from this place several times and usually have a good experience, which is why this was so disappointing. I ordered 3 super burritos, one of them with no rice and light beans. I always order one without rice because they usually put way too much rice for my liking. This has never been an issue before. This time, the no-rice burrito came out literally half the size of the other two burritos and was hella light -- it honestly felt like a kids burrito. No rice should not account for more than half of the burrito! Which is my point exactly as to why I order no rice. I called the restaurant, and the only thing they were willing to do was refund the burrito. While I appreciate the refund, I spent my entire lunch break getting this food, and now I have nothing to eat. A refund doesn't really fix that. I'm not sure why this happened when I've ordered the same way multiple times without any problems, but it was frustrating and disappointing

    Growing up in Oakland, I always enjoyed Mexican food there, and when I moved to Hayward a few years ago, I was always looking for a new Mexican restaurant to eat at. I've been to a few spots here in Hayward, and they were merely decent. But the other day, I stumbled upon an Instagram video of a woman reviewing this restaurant and just from the video alone, I knew I had to try it. Upon arrival, the service was great, it was quick and the cashier up front was nice. The restaurant had a nice ambience to it, there's decorations all over it and there's some cool artifacts around as well. I ordered a Super Burrito, which comes with your choice of meat, Avacado, beans, rice, pico de gallo, etc. I removed pico de gallo and kept everything else. From first sight, the burrito is big. Opening it, it looked great and from the first bite, I immediately fell in love with the food. It was delicious, packed with flavor, and had good portions of everything inside of the burrito. After eating the burrito entirely, I can easily but surely tell you all that this is the best burrito I've had in the Bay Area.

    Great burritos, First trying this place, great customer service. You gotta try this place. Definitely will come back.

    Someone had said they had the best burrito in the bay so I had to see what the hype was about. The spot is conveniently close to where I live so i decided to pick up a burrito after a long day at work. It's definitely more of an order to go place because there is no seating inside and they have minimal seating outside of the restaurant. Very small hole in the wall type of taqueria which is fine by me, I did appreciate that they had a small salsa cart as a self serve option (I recommend the green). I think I waited about 5ish minutes for my order which was pretty quick, portion wise the burrito wasn't as long as it was thick, comparable to a chipotle burrito in size and those are pretty thick. I honestly think the burrito could be shared for two, I only ate half. The rice & bean to meat ratio I thought was good but I felt the rice was lacking in flavor and found it a little sweet the meat was just ok for me and slightly greasy. Overall thought the food was ok.

    This hole in the wall is only a few minutes drive away from our house so we went and tried their beef super burrito for around $15. The burrito was so big and shareable with another person. It was bigger than chipotle's burrito. We ordered takeout but they have some tables and chairs outside, none inside. Service was fast, we got our burrito in 5 minutes. The burrito came with chips and 2 small containers of green and red salsas. The burrito had rice, beef, beans, cilantro, onions, tomatoes and guacamole. Everything was tasty, the rice just needed a little bit more flavor. The chips were very good. The red salsa was very spicy and the green salsa was mild. $15 for the beef super burrito was a good deal.

    After seeing all the positive reviews I wanted to try this place out. I like to be very honest especially when it comes to Mexican food. I ordered the pambazo and wasn't impressed. Presentation wise it looked very appetizing, but the potatoes weren't cooked all the way which ruined it for me. We also ordered a gordita de chicharrón and the flavors were very bland. I should have just ordered tacos to try them out but I really wanted to find a place that sold good pambazos, so I wouldn't recommend them from here. I ordered agua fresca, horchata and jamaica. Those were very delicious!

    Finally found a good Burrito in Northern California. This place is located in a small strip mall in residential neighborhood. Super Burrito was flavorful with fresh ingredients. Only complaint was tortilla chips, could tell they were out of the bag. However don't prevent that from you checking this spot out, would definitely go back to try some tacos. Friendly staff as well.

    I got rave reviews about this place so I wanted to give it a try. I liked the salsa in their salsa bar, very good flavor and spice. The food was mediocre. Nothing memorable but decent. I would give it another try since their prices are reasonable.

We were brought fresh tortilla chips to start, which were great, along with a Lazy Susan-style setup of salsas and toppings. Unfortunately, this was a bit of a miss for me--there were raw onions, raw jalapeños, a green salsa, and more of a plain red hot sauce rather than a true salsa. I would have preferred something more traditional like a good pico de gallo or a more balanced house salsa. Ordered a bottle of Dos Equis, which at $7 felt a bit steep. Most entrées were priced between $17-$25, which is pretty standard. I had the carnitas and they were excellent--really flavorful and well-prepared. I also tried a bite of the chile relleno, which was solid as well. Overall, the food was good and the service was strong. That said, it's a bit out of the way for me, and while I enjoyed it, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back.
